The Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation would like to acknowledge that the Armstrong Theatre is located on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Tongva people in the Swaanga Village. We ask you to join us in acknowledging the Tongva community, their elders both past and present, as well those of future generations. www.tongvapeople.com

Welcome!

On behalf of the entire Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation, we would like to welcome you to the 2022-2023 season. In the last year, we confirmed what we have always known: some things are better when they are shared in person. We moved through the pandemic and its challenges as a united community, and TOCA was proud to help our friends and neighbors rediscover the joy of live performances. Our organization continues our mission to make the arts accessible to everyone and remains firm in our belief that they play an essential role in creating a more whole society.

Joining us in this mission are our supporters who share the same belief that the arts elevate a community and unite a people. TOCA is grateful for the generosity of those who make what we do possible: the City of Torrance, private donors, corporate partners, and our patrons.

With multiple venues and an exciting, eclectic program of performances, this season promises to appeal to a wide audience. We encourage you to become a season subscriber so you and loved ones can continue to be delighted by everything the arts have to offer. TOCA relies on the support from everyone who sees value in our mission, and there are many ways to give. Consider becoming a volunteer or committing to a onetime or regular monthly donation. The latter is as simple as texting TOCA25 to 44321.

I am honored to serve TOCA and our community as the new president this year. Together, we will continue the meaningful work that was started by visionary city leaders decades ago when they built the Armstrong Theatre. We look forward to sharing a season of new and familiar experiences with you!

Wendy Shu President

Welcome to TOCA’s 2022/2023 season. We are so excited to be able to continue our mission of bringing quality entertainment to the South Bay and beyond.

Our 21/22 season was filled with lots of fun and excitement. Just being back inside a theatre filled with arts supporters was exciting. Now, our 22/23 season, we are able to continue the fun with an eclectic line up filled with a diverse selection of artists.

Good news! TOCA’s Studio Cabaret Series in the Nakano is back! While many restaurants are still struggling with staffing issues, we know that part of the allure of our Cabaret series is that it is a complete evening out. So while we aren’t able to provide our usual buffet style dinners, we are able to offer phenomenal charcuterie boxes… and of course, treats from Torrance Bakery, TOCA Treats and more.

As always, if there is anything we can do to make your time with us more enjoyable, please let us know by emailing us at info@ torrancearts.org.

Along with his rockin’ 4-piece band, Bruce meticulously and respectfully recreates the electrifying musical excitement of Elvis in his prime... right down to the vintage instruments, the hip ‘threads’ and the grease in the hair.

Bruce has performed in sold-out venues worldwide, and has won critical acclaim for his uncanny musical portrayal. This is one show guaranteed to have you all shook up!

Recital Instructors and students of the Los Angeles Taiko Institute (LATI) housed under Asano Taiko U.S., present contemporary and traditionally inspired taiko repertoire in their end-of-year Recital. Performances are interspersed with commentary on the challenges and joys of learning Japanese drums.

2022 • 2pm

Concert Taiko Groups housed under or affiliated with Asano Taiko U.S. present their very own repertoire in this end-of-year Concert.

Performances are interspersed with group introduction and interesting facts about what it takes to build and be a part of a taiko ensemble.

Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry. One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old. Despite the inconvenience, old age brings the contentment of LESS IS MORE. Your mistakes and big ambitions are behind you, nothing left to prove, and small things give you great pleasure because that’s what’s left.

There is the News from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs, makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of composting worms, and dogs trained to do childcare. But some things endure, such as the formation of the Living Flag on Main Street, citizens in tight formation wearing red, white or blue caps, and Mr. Keillor among them, standing close to old neighbors, Myrtle Krebsbach (“Truckstop”) and Julie Christensen (“Bruno, The Fishing Dog”) and Clint Bunsen.

And an a cappella sing-along with the audience singing from memory an odd medley of patriotic songs, pop standards, hymns, and ending with the national anthem.

Montana natives turned Angelenos, Joselyn & Don’s intoxicating music feels like a walk through mountain wildflowers and Southern California Joshua trees. Enter their wild garden - where blues, folk and jazz form an understory illuminated with lyrical truth. Joselyn Wilkinson (the founder of women’s global fusion band, ADAAWE ) and Don Barrozo (a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer with many album credits, also serves as film editor for long-running animated series, “The Simpsons.”) forage musical ideas from many sources and plant those seeds in rich Americana soil. These are deeply rooted songs reaching for new light.

PEPPER MOONS

Sam ‘n Ash are an innovative duo in the world of folk and Irish music. Accordionist Samantha Harvey and mandolinist Ashley Hoyer bring new life to their traditional folk instruments. The duo formed their distinct style into an accessible blend of genres which have been featured at festivals, concerts, and wineries.

Although they may bring classic melodies to the table, their treatment of them is anything but traditional. Where this duo really shines is in its original writing. Both Sam and Ash come from backgrounds of time-honored folk styles; however, their original work is an amalgamation of their influences as 21st century folk and Irish musicians.

They have quickly become a favorite among the local swing dance and vintage community. So put your dancing shoes on, or just sit back, relax and enjoy the hot sounds of The Pepper Moons.
