One Night with Janis Joplin
SEP 5 - SEP 29, 2013
created, written and directed by Randy Johnson
With a voice like whiskey and a laugh like pure joy, Janis Joplin
took the music scene by storm. Simultaneously rough and
vulnerable, Joplin was dubbed the Queen of Rock n’ Roll, proving
music wasn’t just a man’s world anymore. Packed with classic
songs (“Piece of My Heart,” “Summertime,” “Mercedes Benz”) the
show also shines the spotlight on trailblazers who influenced Janis
– like Bessie Smith, Etta James and Aretha Franklin. |

Next Fall
OCT 17 - NOV 10, 2013
They say opposites attract, which must be the case for Adam and
Luke, who have successfully navigated a committed relationship
for five years, despite the fact that Adam is a responsible but
neurotic atheist, while Luke is an impulsive, underemployed actor,
and a devout Christian. When a sudden, tragic accident befalls
Luke, these longtime differences rise to the surface as family and
friends confront each other and attempt to overcome their own
differences as they struggle to find answers – together.
…artful, thoughtful and very moving story...
