Rodney Strong Vineyards

Thank you for making arts and education possible in Sonoma County!

Since 2009, Rodney Strong Vineyards

NAMING SPONSOR

has partnered with the LBC as the exclusive wine sponsor to bring breathtaking dance performances to

the residents of Sonoma County.

Now in its 10th year, the Rodney Strong Vineyards Dance series stands out as a signature aspect of the Center’s programming. The partnership between Rodney Strong and LBC has a strong foundation in a sense of community that defines both. So, it is a natural connection for winery founder and former dancer Rod Strong and current proprietor Tom Klein to bring their shared passion for the arts to support the Luther Burbank Center, the premiere arts The Ernest L. & Ruth W. Finley Foundation

center in Sonoma County.

A dancing prodigy from early on, Rod Strong studied at the American School of Ballet under the legendary George Balanchine. After this, Rod headed to Europe and produced Confetti, at Paris’s hottest club, The Lido. In 1952, New Faces premiered on Broadway with Rod dancing the lead, and by this time he was a star. During his time in Europe, Rod developed a passion for wine and fine cuisine. After retiring in 1959, Rod moved to Sonoma County and established Rodney Strong Vineyards as the 13th bonded winery in the county.

Tom Klein, a third-generation farmer and businessman, purchased Rodney Strong Vineyards in 1989. His integrity, entrepreneurial spirit and love of wine, guided Tom’s work to shepherd the winery onto the world stage. A long-time proponent of Sonoma County and passionate steward of the land, Tom is a leader for sustainable practices in the wine industry. Rodney Strong was the first carbon-neutral winery in Sonoma County; both the winery and estate vineyards are California Certified Sustainable.

Today, Rodney Strong Vineyards thrives as a family-owned company farming over 1,400 acres across 14 estate vineyards, all in Sonoma County. Visit the Rodney Strong Vineyards Tasting Room & Terrace in Healdsburg.

As a strong voice in late night, the weekly series features Jim traveling across the globe to tackle the top news stories and controversial issues of the day. Jim also continues to head up The Jim Jefferies Show Podcast.

Last summer, his international standup tour, The Unusual Punishment Tour, kicked off to rave reviews and has extended with new dates both nationally and internationally through 2018.

He also released his fifth major stand up special in seven years, Freedumb. The special was Jim’s second to air on Netflix, and followed the huge success of the first, Jim Jefferies: BARE. In addition, Jim created, wrote, produced, and starred in the critically acclaimed FX series Legit, which ran for two seasons and has since gained a cult following.

After signing to Epic Records in 1988, the Indigo Girls released their critically acclaimed eponymous album to thunderous praise; it remained on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for 35 weeks, earned double platinum status, received a GRAMMY® nomination for “Best New Artist” and won “Best Contemporary Folk Recording.” They were overnight folk icons who continued to live up to the high standards they’d set for themselves: they’ve since released 14 albums (3 platinum and 3 gold), received six GRAMMY® nominations and have won one. Indigo Girls have toured with innumerable star acts including Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, R.E.M., Sarah MacLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Jewel and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

The duo has balanced their long, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes – the Indigo Girls don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk. Having established an intensely dedicated fan base, the duo continues to remain relevant and attract new fans. With their latest release, Beauty Queen Sister, released on IG Recordings distributed

by Vanguard Records, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have secured their spot as one of the most legendary musical acts of this generation.

Comedy Central.

This past year, “The Daily Show” was nominated for a Writers Guild Award (Comedy/Variety Series) and a GLAAD award for Outstanding Talk Episode, as well as two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information Show.

Noah also recently won Best Host at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, as well as a Creative Arts Emmy® Award for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series for his hosting role on “The Daily Show – Between The Scenes.” He joined “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” in 2014 as a contributor.

In February 2017 Noah debuted his 9th comedy special Afraid of the Dark on Netflix.

The special was shot before a packed house in New York City at the Beacon Theatre. In 2016, Noah debuted his one-hour stand-up special, Trevor Noah: Lost in Translation, on Comedy Central. Noah was the subject of David Paul Meyer's award-winning documentary film “You Laugh, But It's True” which tells the story of his remarkable career in post-apartheid South Africa. His Showtime comedy special, “Trevor Noah: African American” premiered in 2013.

He was nominated for "Personality of the Year" at the 2014 and 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards and won the award in 2015. Trevor's success has also spanned to sold out shows over 5 continents.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS, DONORS, AND SPONSORS MAKE POSSIBLE

Our Stories: Summer Camps A Life-Changing Summer for 206 Kids

“

There are so many cool moves they’re teaching us. It’s fun to get to know everyone and dance with them.

”

That’s what 12-year-old Ricardo from Santa Rosa said after participating in a hip-hop dance class last summer at Lawrence Cook Middle School. “This is really fun. It’s nice to get rid of all the stress. Dancing really helps me do that,” he said. “Loosening up and dancing with people helps me clear my mind from the bad things in life.”

Meanwhile, other kids learned to play instruments in mariachi class, or painted their dream homes in an art workshop.

They’re all part of the wide-ranging Summer Camps – three-week programs launched by Your LBC and funded by your donations – to give students ages 6 to 17 access to arts and science activities.

The programs are educational and fun, reaching students at a pivotal age. Kids involved in summer programs, research shows, are more likely to stay in school, succeed academically, and stay out of trouble.

In the Visual Arts workshop, 12-year old Ruby has painted her “dream room.”

Ruby’s room opens to the galaxies above and to the sidewalk in front, where

flowers are growing in a crack in the pavement. “Life,” she says, “can come up anywhere.” “The class,” she said, “has made me a better painter, and I want to keep doing it.” Ruby’s image perfectly represents what happens at the camps, where kids are encouraged to dream and let their imaginations run free.

12-year-old Kimberly says she was frightened when she began playing music and dancing, but the camps’ mariachi and hip-hop dance classes have given her confidence. “When I wake up in the morning I look forward to coming here. If it wasn’t for these camps, I’d be bored.” Some of the more experienced kids stay for the afternoon Mariachi Ensemble session, where a dozen violins, four trumpets, five guitars and a guitarron combine on a song called, “Cerca del Mar.” “Even if you’re scared, play loud,” says lead instructor Jose Soto. “If you forget the lyrics, just keep singing – that’s your moment to be creative!” This is the lesson of these life-changing camps that fits the mission of Your LBC: Take chances, believe in yourself, improvise, work hard and have fun!”

Visual Art at Your LBC Luther Burbank Center for the Arts has long been committed to the presentation of contemporary visual art.

SCULPTURE GARDEN GR AND REOPENING New Exhibition Harmonies: Kati Casida, Catherine Daley, and Jann Nunn Showcases works of Bay Area Artists

The Center’s expansive campus currently features works by fourteen local and regional artists, including Robert Ellison, Dennis Leon, Diana Meehan, and Roberto Santo.

Your LBC has reopened its outdoor Sculpture Garden with Harmonies, an exhibition featuring works by Bay Area artists Kati Casida, Catherine Daley, and Jann Nunn.

Harmonies features four sculptures from each of the three artists. Experienced as a combined exhibit, the sculptures create curtains of light and colorful dancing shapes as well as emotional space for reflection and immersion. Kati Casida, Catherine Daley, and Jann Nunn bring an inspired harmony to the garden, thoughtfully restored following the 2017 firestorms and designed to reflect the local Sonoma County landscape. While each artists’ work is their own distinctive expression, the exhibit as a whole conveys a collaboration of their individual connection with nature.

The new sculptures for Harmonies exhibition will be on display for the public to enjoy through September 20, 2020.

We invite you to take a self-guided tour of our collection during regular business hours.

What is YOUR Legacy?

See your investment in the LBC

From where you sit, you can see your investment in the LBC directly and immediately. Your support makes it possible for us to create lasting memories while we enrich, educate and entertain our audiences. Thank you!

What would you like your investment to look like years, or even decades, from now?

Have you considered the LBC in your legacy plans?

If you want to ensure that the LBC will continue here for future generations, consider naming the Center in your will or trust. Then, join the Lamona Johnson Walraven Legacy Society, and let us thank you now for your future investment.

To learn more, contact Robin Seltzer at 707.800.7525 or rseltzer@lutherburbankcenter.org.

Lamona Johnson Walraven, a longtime Santa Rosa resident, was a high school teacher and counselor who came of age at a time when most women did not pursue higher education.

She earned a master’s degree from UC Berkeley, then shared her love for learning with her family and students, believing that all would thrive through the benefits of an education. Through her bequest, Lamona left a lasting impact on Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, with the largest legacy gift ever received, benefiting both girls and boys through her largesse.

Purchasing Tickets from 3rd Party Vendors For your own security, we strongly recommend that you do not purchase tickets from any supplier other than Luther Burbank Center for the Arts (LBC). We do not allocate tickets or authorize any other ticket seller, services, brokers or agents to sell our tickets. Only tickets purchased directly from the LBC can be guaranteed, and tickets purchased from any other source are done so at your own risk and may be deemed invalid. The re-sale of tickets on LBC property is strictly prohibited.

Resale of tickets purchased by LBC members during a pre-sale period will result in ticket and membership cancellation—without refund. Policies subject to change without notice.

Buyer Beware: Tickets sold by resellers often have substantial service fees, and/or a markup to the original price, resulting in prices that are significantly higher than face value. We cannot control the prices or fees someone else may charge for tickets we do not authorize to be re-sold, nor can we provide any redress if you encounter a problem with your tickets. If you purchase tickets from anyone other than Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, please check the seller’s credibility and examine tickets carefully for authenticity.

TICKET POLICIES All purchases are final. There are no refunds.

Ticket Limit

No registration required!

707.546.3600 | lutherburbankcenter.org/summer-camps

Refunds and Exchanges

Concierge Desk

All ticket purchases are final.

Located near the North Entrance of the lobby, the Concierge Desk is your “go-to” spot for information:

Reprints Lost, damaged, or stolen tickets may be reprinted for reserved seating performances only and will be available for pick-up one hour prior to the performance. Please present your current picture ID to the ticket office associate. There is a $2 per ticket reprint fee.

Unless otherwise indicated, all seats are reserved, and switching to a seat other than the one indicated on your ticket is not allowed.

V E N U E I N F O R M AT I O N The Ruth Finley Person Theatre is a flexible venue allowing for both seated and open floor configurations. When seated, the 1681-seat venue is the largest fixed seat venue in Sonoma County, and no seat is more than 75 feet from the stage. When main floor seats are removed, the open floor/seated balcony configuration raises the capacity to 2000. The theatre’s unique thrust stage design, provides a level of intimacy between artists and audiences unlike any other in Northern California. For nearly 40 years, LBC has been the best place to see your favorite performer up close and personal.

Parking Convenient on-site parking is included with your ticket purchase.

Security Screening When arriving for a performance, you will be greeted at both North and South entrance doors to the lobby by ushers who will scan or tear tickets prior to your entering the lobby. Once your ticket has been scanned or torn, no reentry will be permitted if you exit the secure area. In addition to ensuring everyone’s safety, this provides easier and quicker access for you into the theater.

For your safety and that of others, bags will be examined at all performances as you enter the lobby. As you find at most other venues, we will also be implementing policies regarding what can be brought into the theater, including restrictions on the size of bags allowed. This not only ensures everyone’s safety and security, it also keeps aisles and rows clear, in compliance with fire codes.

We will do this respectfully and as quickly as possible.

Access to the Box Office for those who park in the South parking lot will be through the Atrium.

Please look for signage and staff as you approach the Center after parking in the South lot.

Restrooms Restrooms are located on the main floor and balcony levels. Additional restrooms are available in the West Atrium.

Photography & Recording For most performances, as required by the artists, there is no photography or recording allowed.

In the interest in the safety, security, and comfort of all patrons, Selfie Sticks are not allowed inside the building, including at performances. Please be considerate of other audience members and help us by adhering to these rules.

• Pick up will call tickets for late arrivals after the box office is closed • Sign out and return Assisted Listening Devices • Gather information on how you can help support the LBC with a donation and the benefits you’ll receive in return • Ask questions about the Center and upcoming shows • Contact a front-of-house manager • Access a landline to call a taxi or make an emergency phone call
