Wretch Like Me ( 8:00 pm )

The award winning solo show Wretch Like Me will be presented at three North Bay locations August 5 through October 19 in Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Sebastopol.

The show, created by actor, journalist and National Endowment for the Arts-honored theater critic David Templeton explores a wild ride through a 1970’s Southern California landscape of spaced-out believers, tongues-spouting surfers, and radical evangelical puppeteers. The plot-driven storytelling also includes cleverly conjured descriptions of an acid-dropping minister named Reverend Dude, an affably sinister alien puppet and a beautiful believer.

Reading & Book Signing: Thunder Dog ( 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm )

 

Donations appreciated

Reserve your seat: 456-9062

Speaker: Michael Hingson, author

Each one of us has our own memories and experiences that define 9/11 for us. What lessons can we still take away from that tragic and defining day? Can positive ideals and principles come out of the ashes? Michael explores these questions as he shares his story of survival and growth, and how he escaped and went on living because of his own strong and fearless sense of survival, as well as his hero and friend, his guide dog Roselle. Michael will take you step-by-step through his own experience of the attack firsthand, his trip down 1,463 stairs to freedom, only to have to run from the collapse of the South Tower, just 100 yards away from where he was standing. Thunder Dog, New York Times Best Seller List, will be available for purchase.

Wretch Like Me ( 8:00 pm )

The award winning solo show Wretch Like Me will be presented at three North Bay locations August 5 through October 19 in Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Sebastopol.

The show, created by actor, journalist and National Endowment for the Arts-honored theater critic David Templeton explores a wild ride through a 1970’s Southern California landscape of spaced-out believers, tongues-spouting surfers, and radical evangelical puppeteers. The plot-driven storytelling also includes cleverly conjured descriptions of an acid-dropping minister named Reverend Dude, an affably sinister alien puppet and a beautiful believer.

Trio Voronezh ( 5:00 pm )

Non-profit, all volunteer organization presents  
first concert of the season Oct. 16, 2011
 
Who:     Mill Valley Chamber Chamber Music Society presents
 
What:      Trio Voronezh
 
Renowned for performing folk melodies with Russian musical instruments, Trio Voronezh demonstrates virtuosity and artistic innovation with musical programs that also include classical, gypsy and tango dance music and a contemporary repertoire including Gershwin.
 
Concert material is arranged and performed entirely from memory by trio members Vladimir Volokhin on the domra (a three-stringed short-necked ancestor of the mandolin); Sergei Teleshev on the bayan (a chromatic-button accordion, with various registers); and Valerie Petrukhin on the double-bass balalaika (the three-stringed Russian national instrument, with a triangular body made of fir).
 
Classically trained in their Russian working-class city of Voronezh at Conservatory in Voronezh, the Trio Voronezh was formed in 1993. Their talent and unique musical style was "discovered" as they performed Bach in a Frankfurt, Germany subway station. The trio made its United States debut at the 1996 Oregon Bach Festival. Trio Voronezh has since made several tours of the U.S., earning praise and acclaim from critics and audiences alike.

Overflowing with humor and high spirits, this Pulitzer Prize winning play tells the story of a troubled family escaping their past to seize the future. Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, “Crimes of the Heart” is a “dramedy” about the dysfunctional Magrath family and how they come together following tragedy. Heartfelt, zany and irreverent this play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.

Who: Featured guest, Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker MD, is a pioneer in exploring the innate immune system and its pivotal role in inflammation and chronic illness. His Maryland clinic may be the only one in the country solely devoted to biotoxin research that has unveiled what happens when people spend time in water-damaged buildings. He will select a few medical case studies to review with medical professionals on Sunday. His book Surviving Mold will be available.

Dr. Neil Nathan MD is a Gordon Medical Associate and Founding Diplomat of the American Board of Holistic and Integrative Medicine. Author of On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks.
