The Indigo Girls burst onto the national music scene with their eponymous major label debut in 1989, selling more than two million units under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears.”

TICKETS: $20/29/39/49/69/89

Two young lover’s hands touch in the dark and romance instantly blossoms. They are torn apart by jealousy, but love brings them together again, only to be separated forever by illness and death.

A classic romantic tragedy, La Bohème embraces the splendid and frenzied happiness of being young, and the fiery passion of young love.

Set in Paris, the City of Love, the young aspiring artists (The Bohemians) reach for their dreams…but their youthful optimism also has to come to grips with the harsh realities of life and survival.

Opera Modesto's production will be directed by Annalisa Winberg and conducted by Maestro Ryan Murray. La Bohème features recent Opera Modesto star, Ashley Bell (Madama Butterfly) as Mimi and tenor Jeremy Brauner as Rodolfo. Katherine Sanford, Robert Balonek, Ben Brady, Edward Tavalin, Ralph Cato and Shawn Soelberg round out the stellar cast. Center Stage Kids will provide the children's chorus.

SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 2022, 7 PM TICKETS: $25/35/45

With an unusual blend of stand-up improvisation, and twisted visual magic, Chipper Lowell has twice been awarded “Comedy Magician of the Year!” Chipper's childhood could be considered pretty normal, if normal was traveling around the world on various circuses and arena shows with his parents.

His mother performed as a dancer and aerialist, while his father was a professional clown, touring “on the road" with shows like Ringling Bros.

Barnum & Bailey Circus, and Disney on Parade.

At around age 16, Chipper discovered he enjoyed

BY CHARLES ROSS

DIRECTED BY TJ DAWE SPONSORED BY:

Charles Ross will stun and amaze you with his fun, energetic and extremely entertaining performance of One Man Star Wars Trilogy. Officially endorsed by Lucasfilm, this show has been performed for over a million Star Wars fans from London’s West End and Off Broadway, to Dubai and the Sydney Opera House. The result of Charles Ross’s “misspent youth” is the creation of this hilarious performance, where Ross single-handedly plays all the characters with spot on voice impressions, sings the music, flies the ships, fights the battles, and condenses the plot of three films into one hilarious romp.

This show was announced prior to the pandemic. Seating options may be limited due to prior sales.
