Spend a deliciously chilling evening with renowned criminologist and serial killer expert, Dr. Scott Bonn, as he takes you inside the minds of the world’s most savage and prolific murderers. In this thrilling 90-minute show, Dr. Bonn reveals the insatiable, psychological hungers that drive the likes of Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer to kill repeatedly with impunity and no remorse. He explains why the majority of serial killers are either psychopaths or sociopaths, how the two differ, and he reveals that every serial killer is compelled to murder by a unique fantasy need. He also explains how/why serial killers are able to successfully avoid apprehension, blend into a crowd and become invisible.
This show is frequently dark and can be disturbing. It incorporates some dark humor which in no way is intended to minimize the seriousness of the topic or the fact that lives have been destroyed by the diabolical killers discussed throughout the show. Recommended for adults only.

“OFF-THE-CHARTS ENERGY.”– THE NEW YORKER
For over 50 years, Ailey II has merged the spirit and energy of the country’s finest early-career dance talent with the passion and creative vision of today’s most outstanding and emerging choreographers. Founded by Alvin Ailey in 1974, this universally renowned company embodies his pioneering mission to establish an extended cultural community that provides dance performances, training, and community programs for all people. Under the leadership of Sylvia Waters, who served
PROGRAM:
as artistic director for 38 seasons, Ailey II flourished into one of the most popular modern dance companies, combining a rigorous touring schedule with extensive community outreach programs. Today, with Artistic Director Francesca Harper at the helm, she brings fresh perspectives to Mr. Ailey’s legacy, while nurturing new creative voices and propelling the company forward.
Streams is an abstract exploration of bodies in space, danced to a percussion score by Miloslav Kabelac. Alvin Ailey’s highly structured yet fluid compilation of solos, duets, and group choreography reflects the formal, meditative mood of Kabelac’s music. While there is no narrative, the movement and music arouse distinct thoughts and feelings, evoking images and sensations inspired by bodies of water—from a gentle brook to a turbulent ocean—that correlate to the changing tides within us. Walter Terry of The Saturday Review described Streams as “a stunning group work built chiefly on diagonal lines and evoking the title in abstract form through varying speeds, eddyings, flowings, racings, and floatings, all related to moods of jubilance, sadness, acceptance, and glee,” while The New York Times wrote, “It exposes its dancers and their technique in ways I find often heroic and beautiful.”
Third Person Point of View by choreographer My’Kal Stromile, begins in medias res—Latin for “in the midst of things.” We enter a non-traditional, three-person relationship in its fully functioning form: fluid, intricate, and quietly intimate. We then rewind to the beginning of the relationship, and what the audience sees is two people deeply attuned, and a third seeking entry, admiration, and a place to belong. As the title suggests, the piece invites the audience to witness from the outside, observing a relationship as it unfolds without ever being directly addressed. Camera flashes fracture time, illuminating moments of effort, allure, and unspoken negotiation. Guided by evolving physicality, the dancers explore how love expands— often imperfectly, always intentionally—revealing the quiet ache of being seen from the outside, and the grace of slowly being let in.
In Session by choreographer Rena Butler is a collective portrait of coming of age, where the tension between conformity and rebellion shapes the action of maturation. The work explores how individuals navigate the process of finding themselves while moving within—and against—the collective, challenging the notion that growth requires uniformity and asserting instead that no student needs to be the same. Through layered physicality and communal rhythm, In Session reveals the nuanced journey of self-discovery within a community.

Founded in 2012 with support from the Gallo Center for the Arts, Sankofa Theatre Company's mission is to showcase Black history, life and culture through the performing and visual arts. In past seasons, we have been proud to co-present such outstanding productions of Lynn Nottage's Sweat , Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman , Lorraine Hansbury's A Raisin In the Sun , and August Wilson's The Piano Lesson
For the 25/26 Season, Sankofa is presenting Purlie Victorious by Ossie Davis. Subtitled "A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch," this hilarious comedy tells the story of dynamic traveling preacher Purlie Victorious Judson returning to his small Georgia town hoping to save Big Bethel, the community’s church, and emancipate the cotton pickers who work on oppressive Ol’ Cap’n Cotchipee’s plantation. Purlie Victorious was recently produced on Broadway starring Leslie Odom Jr. Now see it performed by the Central Valley’s only African American theater organization!
