WELCOME to the LBC! Thank you so much for choosing to attend tonight’s performance. We are always striving to offer the best variety of performances, and the best service to our customers, and hope your experience is a fantastic one. Don’t hesitate to alert one of our front-of-house staff if there is something we can do to improve your experience.

Here are a few highlights from the results of our successful 2015-16 season: • More than 140,000 people attended a performance here; • More than 36,000 children took part in one of our Education Through the Arts programs (that’s a 28% increase over the previous year); • More than 400 musical instruments were loaned to area students through our Music for Schools lending library; these low-income students would not otherwise have been able to participate in their school’s band or orchestra program; • We expanded our Mariachi Camp to Cloverdale, and also conducted a special ukulele project at Bellevue Elementary.

This is just a sampling of our work in the community, and none of it would be possible without the support of our members, donors, and sponsors. Due to the significant need and interest for these types of free and subsidized programs in our community, we are pleased to launch the LBC Arts and Education Fund, which will help provide vital funding to these unique programs. Turn to page 36 to see how a small monthly donation can make a big impact right here in our community.

Thank you again for your patronage and please enjoy the performance!

With over $3.4 billion in assets, RCU is one of the largest of over 6,000 credit unions nationwide. They serve over 280,000 members with 19 Bay Area locations, including four in Santa Rosa and additional locations in Sonoma, Petaluma, Windsor, Cloverdale, and Sebastopol.

They also offer new and used auto sales through RCU Auto Services.

Redwood Credit Union is passionate about giving back to the communities they serve. Last year, they provided more than $2.8 million in community support and more than 4,100 volunteer hours to benefit nonprofits and other local organizations including the Redwood Empire Food Bank, Chop’s Teen Club, COTS, Social Advocates for Youth (SAY), Boys & Girls Club of Central Sonoma County, and others.

Redwood Credit Union is furthering their commitment to community by partnering with the Center as the presenting sponsor for the 2017 Fiesta de Independencia.

Kip Moore with special guest Levi Hummon

Kip Moore has built one of country music's most loyal audiences. His live show mixes the bombast and wild desperation of Bruce Springsteen with the rootsy stomp of Merle Haggard.

Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Kip Moore wrapped up 2016 with a string of sold-out headlining dates. Playing to capacity crowds in Detroit, MI and a two-night run in Chicago, IL, Moore executed 20 sold-out shows during his ME & MY KIND TOUR, that showcased him as "one of country music’s most impressive headline acts” (Sounds Like Nashville), praised by critics and fans across the country. Moore held up his “reputation for rowdy, highenergy party shows” (Detroit Free Press) as he was continually "met with more deafening applause.” (CMT) Moore charged into 2016 on the 2nd leg of his fiercely successful WILD ONES TOUR, that he also unleashed across the pond for a stint of “eagerly anticipated” (Think Country) headlining sold-out dates in the UK and Ireland. An unabating road warrior, Moore "cemented that special bond between crowd and performer…daring to be different, daring to take a risk, he is able to take the crowd further than most artists can by the sheer force of his performance” (2 Country Radio) during his time overseas, where he had to move to bigger venues to meet overwhelming demand. Fans were also able to catch the “kinetic live performer” (Kansas City Star) out on Miranda Lambert’s KEEPER OF THE FLAME TOUR during the summer.

Kip Moore has built one of country music's most loyal audiences.

His debut album UP ALL NIGHT which was certified GOLD by the RIAA and spawned three Number One hit singles including GOLD certified “Beer Money,” PLATINUM certified "Hey Pretty Girl," and the DOUBLE PLATINUM breakout hit "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck.”

Moore recently released UNDERGROUND, a 5-track EP that draws inspiration from his unyielding time out on the road touring. His live show mixes the bombast and wild desperation of Bruce Springsteen with the rootsy stomp of Merle Haggard – don’t miss his LBC debut!

An Evening with David Sedaris

7PM

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s preeminent humor writers.

The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.

David Sedaris is the author of Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and his most recent book, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, each of which became an immediate bestseller. He is the author of the NYT-bestselling collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer). He was also the editor of Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories. Sedaris’s pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in “The Best American Essays.” There are a total of ten million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages.

David Sedaris’s original radio pieces can often be heard on This American Life, distributed nationally by Public Radio International and produced by WBEZ. Sedaris has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. His latest audio recording of new stories (recorded live) is “David Sedaris: Live for Your Listening Pleasure” (November 2009). A feature film adaptation of his story “C.O.G.” was released after a premier at the Sundance Film Festival (2013).

Live Nation presents Lewis Black: The Rant, White, and Blue Tour

Following the highly successful 2016 Fall leg of his THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES: THE NAKED TRUTH TOUR, Lewis Black brings THE RANT, WHITE & BLUE TOUR to Sonoma County this Spring.

Lewis is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today and executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. He is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world. Lewis has appeared frequently on The Daily Show with a weekly “Back in Black” rant, on Comedy Central, and has also filmed two HBO specials. In 2001, he won Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. He has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 GRAMMY Award-winning The Carnegie Hall Performance.

He won his second GRAMMY Award for his album Stark Raving Black. A much sought after guest for late-night television shows, he’s been seen on Larry King Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brian, The Late Show with David Letterman, CNN and MSNBC, among others.

In the midst of a rigorous 200-night touring schedule around the world, regular TV appearances and movie roles, Lewis has written three bestselling books: Nothing’s Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008) and I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010). As a playwright Lewis has also penned over 40 plays, many of which have been produced around the country. He has co-starred with Robin Williams in Barry Levinson’s “Man of the Year,” Steve Pink’s “Accepted,” and Paul Feig’s “Unaccompanied Minors.” He also lent his voice to the role of “Jimmy” in Bob Sagat’s parody, “Farce of the Penguins.” In his leisure time, Lewis likes to play golf, even though golf hates him.

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán

3PM

Founded in 1898, Mariachi Vargas emerged as one of the most celebrated mariachi groups, and acquired national success upon its presentation at the inaugural celebration of President Lázaro Cárdenas in 1934.

Musical director Rubén Fuentes (who joined the group in 1944) would go on to arrange music for many of Mexico's celebrated singers and composers such as Lola Beltrán, Pedro Infante and José Alfredo Jiménez. The band's seminal work throughout the coming decades set the tone for many mariachi ensembles by insisting that all of the group's musicians know how to read music, resulting in a more refined and trained ensemble. Credited with modernizing the genre, Mariachi Vargas' meticulously crafted arrangements helped to propel the national pride for what would become Mexico's classical sound.

Mariachi Vargas became renowned as the definitive mariachi ensemble, and its classic sound has won the group numerous awards and accolades, including the title of "World's Best Mariachi" since the 1950s. The band actively participates in international mariachi festivals in order to promote the pride of the genre and encourage young mariachis to pursue lifelong careers.

Recently, the Houston Grand Opera turned to the ensemble’s legendary leader, Jose “Pepe” Martinez, to write the score and collaborate with librettist Leonard Foglia in creating the world’s first mariachi opera, “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna” (“To Cross the Face of the Moon”), which premiered to sold-out houses in Paris, Houston, Chicago and San Diego!

Currently, Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan continues to record and tour internationally.

Mills Entertainment Presents #IMOMSOHARD Mom’s Night out: Summer Break Tour

#IMomSoHard is a popular web series on Facebook where two best friends, who happen to be moms, talk the good, the bad, and the funny about motherhood.

This summer, Jen and Kristin are taking their show out of the playroom and onto the road. But this time, they’re bringing the kids. And a tour bus (you didn’t think they’d leave them with their husbands, did you?).

There’s no one making moms feel as uncomfortably normal as Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley, the hilarious, oh-so-real women behind #IMomSoHard. With over 675,000 Facebook fans, and more than 55 million views of their web series, Jen and Kristin’s blend of honesty and humor offer the kinds of levity most of us only get from our therapist, proving that if we weren’t all laughing, we’d be crying, right? Right!?

Sure to deliver the kind of straight talk you can only get from discussing body hair in the kids’ playroom while sipping mimosas, Kristin and Jen prove you can’t make this shi*t up.

It’s like an evening with two of your besties. But funnier. And probably with more drinking. Definitely more drinking.

Following the sold-out successes of both its 2014 inaugural run and a fan-demanded sophomore run in 2015, Move Live on Tour, featuring powerhouse duo JULIANNE & DEREK HOUGH, is back and better than ever in 2017 with an all-new experience MOVE – BEYOND – LIVE ON TOUR.

The Hough siblings are promising fans their biggest and best show yet, with brand-new stage production inspired by the elements – which the duo have infused into fresh, high impact choreography that only they can deliver.

The show will bring fans on a journey of dance and music, taking inspiration directly from the four elements as an exploration of the human relationship with nature. The pair will be joined by the Move Company Dancers for group performances in styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa and hip-hop and everything in between.

Move – Beyond – Live on Tour will once again be co-created, choreographed and produced by Julianne and Derek Hough, who are joined by their all-star creative team.

Live Nation presents Brian Regan

Brian is the unique comedian whose material is relatable to generations of fans and revered by comedians as the best in the business: “He is one of my favorite, favorite stand-up comedians.” – Jerry Seinfeld “He is unbelievably funny.”

– Jimmy Fallon “… just the best…an absolute master.” – Bill Burr Setting a comedic standard of excellence that others continually try to follow, Brian Regan made history on September 26, 2015 with the critically-acclaimed live broadcast of Brian Regan: Live From Radio City Music Hall, the first live broadcast of a stand-up special in Comedy Central’s history. And on May 8, 2015, Brian made his 28th and final stand-up performance on Late Show With David Letterman, the most of any comic since the show moved to CBS in 1993.

Brian made a scene-stealing cameo in Chris Rock’s film, Top Five and he has been seen in Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. But it is stand-up comedy that is Brian’s focus visiting close to 100 cities each year and selling out some of the most beautiful venues on the continent. Brian returned to the legendary, 8600-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater in September 2015 and March 18 & 19 he returned to the 12,500-seat Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City where he sold out two shows in 2014.

Brian has released three hour-long TV specials, three CD’s and four DVD’s, including the most recent Brian Regan: Live From Radio City Music Hall (2015) which is airing on Comedy Central and is available on CD & DVD. Don’t miss it when Brian Regan brings his hilarious stand-up comedy to Sonoma County this summer!

WHAT OUR MEMBERS, DONORS, AND SPONSORS MAKE POSSIBLE

Our Stories: Mariachi Camp “It’s beautiful what our kids did,” says Mariachi Camp Leader Jose Soto of the 50 children, age 8 to 17, who participated in our first Mariachi Camp in July 2015. The students fell in love with the music, learned how to play and sing, and came together as a close group – all in just three weeks.

Mariachi Camp is one of several successful LBC summer arts programs – funded by LBC donors – that benefit students in our community.

Few of the students in the camp had ever played music before. Most go to schools which have no music program, and their families are unable to afford music lessons or rent instruments for them.

Without programs like Mariachi Camp, these 50 kids might never have had the life-changing experience of learning to play an instrument and performing in a group.

Jose, a Sonoma State student and Mariachi player, approached us with his vision for the camp. We worked with Jose to develop and make this unique program a reality, and also lent him violins, trumpets and

guitars from our Music for Schools instrument library.

The students all worked hard for three weeks — learning how to play their instrument, discovering Mariachi culture, practicing at home and rehearsing as an ensemble. Their hard work paid off with a triumphant performance at the end of camp for their proud families and community.

Due to the success of this program, it was expanded in 2016 to twice as many students, and we’ve expanded again for the summer of 2017!

“

Our Mariachi Camp students learned nothing in life is impossible.

”

– Jose Soto, Leader of the LBC’s Mariachi Camp

OUR STORIES: SCHOOL SHOWS

WHAT OUR MEMBERS, DONORS, AND SPONSORS MAKE POSSIBLE

Our Stories: School Shows

“

Shows at the LBC are more real than the movies. You get to imagine more, and it’s more creative.

”

– Freda, 9

Over 40% of these students – many who wouldn’t have been able to attend otherwise – received no-cost or reduced-price tickets.

Roseland’s Sheppard Accelerated Elementary School, which Freda attends, often receives no-cost School Show tickets from us. Freda and the rest of her 4th grade class at Sheppard Elementary learned a lot about grammar at one of our School Shows.

Thanks to our members, donors, and sponsors, Luther Burbank Center for the Arts is expanding thousands of young minds like Freda’s.

Using humor, drama, song, dance, light shows and technology, the show taught the students about all verbs, nouns, pronouns and the other elements of grammar.

35 live music, dance and theatre School Show performances funded by our supporters opened up a whole new world of imagination, creativity and learning for 35,057 North Bay students, their teachers and parents last year. It was the first time many of them had ever seen a live performance.

“The show was a fun and engaging way for kids to learn grammar,” says Freda’s teacher Anh Dao Tran. “They could actually see it, hear it and experience it.

It was especially beneficial for my class because for 90% of them English is their second language.”

As a teacher, Anh Dao is a huge fan of the School Shows our members and donors make possible for her kids. “The students are definitely more engaged as a result,” Anh Dao says.

“High quality shows like this expose them to all kinds of creative learning and thinking. Being able to talk with the actors afterwards boosts their confidence and gives them a new sense of what’s possible in their lives. They see that they can express themselves through many different avenues.”

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

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

In 2015, the Center opened a free, outdoor Sculpture Garden that serves as transition between the LBC and the Sutter Hospital campus. The current exhibit in the Sculpture Garden, “Root 101” by Bruce Johnson, is comprised of colossal wood sculptures made from salvaged old growth redwood, which he has been working with for 50 years.

STUDENT ARTWORK As you find your way to balcony seating, we hope you enjoy the student artwork hanging in the North corridor, outside our administrative offices on the 2nd floor. This exhibit showcases the work of young artists, shares insight into the creative voice of the next generation and demonstrates the importance of art classes in our schools.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Over 20 Years of Dedication (x2)!

Myrna first discovered what Luther Burbank Center for the Arts was doing for the community, as a teacher and administrator at a school held on the Center’s campus. Twenty four years later, she and her husband Gil are both dedicated volunteers.

Myrna began working with the Guild (concessions) and Gil attended a performance as her spouse. Being retired from the California Department of Forestry, Gil helped his wife set up the coffee service several times, then decided to make it official and became a volunteer too. Today, Myrna is an usher for school shows and both Gil and Myrna usher at evening performances. As volunteer ushers taking tickets, helping patrons find their seats and welcoming all who attend a performance, you may see Gil or Myrna at the Center today!

“I’m delighted the LBC offers this opportunity to the ladies and gentlemen of the community,” Myrna says. “The ushers are like a family. Over 24 years, you get to know everybody. When you do it for that long, it becomes a part of your life.” Gil and Myrna both enjoy doing a service for their community, “because LBC is a service to the community. Doing something good, we get a lot back, including making friends.”

Aside from their countless hours devoted to the Center, Myrna also volunteers in a classroom at Luther Burbank Elementary School, and at The Living Room, which serves homeless and at-risk women and their children. When not volunteering, the Werders travel and have been to 60+ countries. They’ve backpacked across Europe several times, and belong to Friendship Force, a cultural exchange club started during the Carter Administration. They are able to stay as guests in people’s homes around the world, and become fully immersed in the culture. Gil enjoys planning all the details of their trips and just like here at the Center, they both enjoy meeting new people. Their favorite part of volunteering at the Center is being able to meet people of the community. “It’s a cultural experience right there! It really is a fun thing to do,” Myrna exclaims.

We’re happy they chose the LBC as one of their cultural endeavors. If you happen to see Gil or Myrna at a performance, be sure to join us in saying ”thank you” for their MANY years of dedicated service!
