AMERICA : FREEDOM TO FASCISM
Determined to find the law that requires Americans to pay income
tax, Aaron Russo (THE ROSE, TRADING PLACES) sets out on a journey.
Neither left- nor right-wing, this startling examination exposes
the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America. Through
interviews with US Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former
IRS and FBI
agents, tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between
money creation, federal income tax, voter fraud, the national
identity card (becoming law in May 2008) and the implementation
of
radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track citizens.
A striking case about the evolving police state in America.
Show time: 6:30pm
doors 7:00pm show

NEKO CASE
There is the basic, by now familiar biographical arc: Case’s
childhood in Washington State, art school in Vancouver, her early
baptism into the world of country and gospel music, and contemporary
gigs in distaff punk trios Maow and Cub, as well as a longer (and
ongoing) stint in powerhouse Canadian pop group the New Pornographers.
Since the late ‘90s, however, the bulk of Case’s energies
have been devoted to a thriving solo career. Following three critically
lauded studio albums, 1997’s The Virginian, 2000’s Furnace
Room Lullaby, and 2002’s masterful Blacklisted; a quietly
potent kitchen- recorded EP, Canadian Amp; and last year’s
brilliantly conceived concert collection The Tigers Have Spoken,
Case reemerges with her latest, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood.
Eric Bachmann will open evening

Frans Lanting:
The Making of Life: A Journey Through Time
A benefit for the Friends of Long Marine Lab to establish the
Ken Norris Memorial Lecture Series at Long Marine Lab’s
Seymour Center.
Frans Lanting, acclaimed as one of the great nature photographers
of our time, will lead us on a personal journey through the
history of life on Earth. In this new presentation, Frans will
share images and stories about this groundbreaking project,
along with video footage by Christine Eckstrom, co-producer
of Life: A Journey Through Time. Frans’ show will also
include behind-the-scenes glimpses of the making of LIFE as
a multimedia orchestral performance, which premiered in July
2006 at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa
Cruz.
In 2000, Frans set off on a journey of photographic discovery
that parallels new scientific insights about the story of life
on Earth. His search has been wide-ranging and provocative,
leading him from microscopic worlds to primordial landscapes
that preserve time capsules of life’s history. From prehistoric
trilobites to giant tortoises, delicate jellies to spiny octopus
trees, this presentation is a testament to the enduring miracle
of our living planet.
Frans brings his support to the Seymour Center to celebrate
the naming of an annual fall lecture series in memory of his
friend, neighbor, and kindred spirit –– scientist/naturalist,
Ken Norris.
Show times: 2 PM & 7 PM
Tickets: advance tickets at Logos
Books & Records downtown, and at the Seymour Center (831)
459-3800. General admission: $20; Friends of Long Marine Lab

Santa Cruz Documentary Premiere : CHINA
BLUE
CHINA BLUE is a powerful and poignant journey into the harsh
world of sweatshop workers in China. Shot clandestinely in Chinese
sweatshops, this is a deep-access account of what both China
and the international retailers don't want us to see: how the
clothes we buy are actually made.
CHINA BLUE takes us inside a blue-jeans factory, where the working
conditions teenage girlworkers must endure are harsh beyond
imagination. They are also unlawful by international standards,
and tensions in the factory are running high. So when the factory
owner strikes a deal
with a Western client and demands around-the-clock production
to meet the deadline, a confrontation becomes inevitable.
Show
times: 24th at 8:00PM, 25th at 5:00PM
Tickets $5 at the door
Often the girl workers in these sweatshops, many of them under
the age of 15, work through the day and the night with no overtime
pay and a base salary of $.06 per hour. They live 12 to a room
in cement dormitories with one squat toilet serving also as
a sink. Their meals and rent are deducted from their wages.
The jeans they produce are shipped to the U.S. and other Western
countries, and workers get a fraction of what they charge consumers.
CHINA BLUE has hit a nerve with audiences all over the world.
It has screened in 37 film festivals in 24 countries, has DVD
editions in six languages and theatrical release in four countries.
It has generated intense reactions: a woman in Scotland went
home and ripped all her Made in China clothes; a teacher in
Poland wanted to send the girls in China money so they can buy
a train ticket home; and in New Zealand parliament members have
organized public screenings; and in China...the film is banned.
During production, the filmmakers were arrested and their tapes
confiscated byChinese police.
CHINA BLUE brings a whole new perspective to shopping for clothes.
As producer Micha Peledsays: “People don’t want
to feel guilty when they buy clothing, but once they see the
film, shopping may never be the same.”
“Sixteen-year-old Jasmine is a thread-cutter at the Lifeng
Factory, one of dozens of denim manufacturers in Shaxi, South
China. As she puts it, she makes the ‘big and fat’
jeans we wear. Like her new friends at the factory – Liping,
a seamstress, and Orchid, a zipper installer – Jasmine
is one of hundreds of millions of people, mostly young women,
who make up the largest pool of cheap labor in the world.
“Contrary to the notion that these girls offer a pliant,
obedient work force, the film reveals glimpses of an emerging
activism: a bold willingness, as Jasmine asserts, ‘to
pull the Tiger’s whiskers. ’Coming into a sense
of self-worth, Jasmine sends a gentle message to the West in
the pocket of a pair of jeans. Tempering the giddy, greedy imperatives
of the market, CHINA BLUE offersremarkable access into the other
new China.”–Sean Farnel, TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM
FESTIVAL

ANOUSHKA
SHANKAR
Anoushka Shankar has shown herself to be a unique artist with
tremendous talent and understanding of the great musical tradition
of India. Anoushka is the only artist in the world to be trained
completely by her father and legendary sitar virtuoso and composer,
Ravi Shankar. She has been playing and studying the sitar with
him since she was nine, and at age thirteen she made her performing
debut in New Delhi, India. That same year, Anoushka entered
the recording studio for the first time to play on her father’s
recording, In Celebration. Two years later she helped as conductor
with her father and dear friend, George Harrison, on the 1997
Angel release, Chants of India. Shortly thereafter she signed
an exclusive contract with Angel/EMI Classics. In the Fall of
1998 her first solo recording, Anoushka, was released to tremendous
critical acclaim. Two albums followed, Anourag in 2000 and Live
at Carnegie Hall in 2001. The latter was nominated for a Grammy
Award in the Best World Music Album category, making her the
youngest ever nominee in that category. She also played sitar
on her father’s Grammy Award-winning album Full Circle:
Carnegie Hall 2000, and has appeared as a sitarist on several
other CD’s, including Sting’s Sacred Love.
Show time: 8:00 pm

The UCSC Recreation Department is pleased to present a very
special evening with adventure-naturalists and photographers
Kennan and Karen Ward who will be premiering their new documentary
film "Making Tracks", a true story of grizzly bear
cubs growing up in the wild. This event is their third

a slide show and lecture that focused on their journey to
Antarctica and the effects of global warming. In 2006 we were
given an extraordinary view into the world of wolves through
a multi-media presentation of slides and video. This year,
Kennan and Karen are bringing us their first feature-length
documentary film. "Making Tracks" takes us into
the domain of the grizzly bear and explores the balance between
survival, beauty and gentility that is their lives. You can
see a video teaser of the film at ucscrecreation.com or kennanward.com.
The soundtrack features music by singer and acoustic guitarist
David Grimes, and he will be there in person to play music
before the show.

“Powerhouse vocals.”
– Rolling Stone
Born in Lisbon, this rising young star of Cape Verdean music
speaks in Portuguese but sings mostly in Kriolu, the language
of her father’s birthplace, Santiago, the most African
of the Cape Verde islands. Lura burst onto the scene in 1996
performing with Brazilian superstar Caetano Veloso and has
also performed with her former mentor Cesaria Evora. Sensual
and stirring, her music is rooted in the accordion-driven
funana and the rhythmic batuku styles of Santiago. “Lura's
vivid, infectious 2004 album, Di Korpu Ku Alma (Of Body and
Soul), is quickened by the rolling beats of Congolese and
Senegalese pop.” – The Seattle Times

COCOROSIE
Busdriver opens
Busdriver
Indie psych-rock sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady are touring
their new album ,
" THE ADVENTURES OF GHOSTHORSE AND STILLBORN "
and will stop in Santa Cruz on their way from Coachella.
Birthed
through an intricate process of prank phone calls and clairvoyant
documentation, The Adventures of Ghosthorse & Stillborn
follows CocoRosie and their crew of miscreants through the
Mechanical Forest of Feelings.
“It was there we first confronted the Warlock, Laughing
Crow, and buried the Black Dove.”
This album is a departure from the obscured blur of stained
glass rêve to a more self-exploitive memoir. Parts are
dreamy and parts are savage, but, as with an opera where death
represents a secret heaven, the whole record feels like a
black diamond in the snow. From her humble beginnings in the
South of France, the saga sailed the Seven Seas all the way
to that icy crack in the Earth’s crust just outside
of Reykjavik. Upon her return to her Parisian homeland, she
shared a mystical rendezvous with beautiful sailors Pierre
et Gilles, the album cover being the consequence of that affair.

in the life of the RAW 2006 summer camp series. All
12 of our local and out of town camps will be reviewed in

Beach in Santa Cruz, Leo Carillo in Malibu and Leadbetter
Beach in Santa Barbara. The Point Break provided an
Endless Summer of Blue Crush waves. Watch our kids while

LAURA VEIRS
touring her new album " Saltbreakers
"
On her third Nonesuch release, Saltbreakers, singer-songwriter
Laura Veirs remains tantalized by the mysteries and marvels
of the natural world, filling her work with images, both precise
and poetic, of the ocean and the stars. But she digs even
deeper this time into the vagaries of human nature, transforming the
turbulence of her own life, as well as her concerns about the
hair-trigger state of the world at large, into a collection
of songs distinguished as much by their emotional urgency as by
their often astonishing musical inventiveness.
"Lyrically I drew more from my personal life on this record
than with anything I've done in the past," says Veirs.
She aims to convey the feeling, if not the specific circumstances,
of an intense period in her per- sonal life: the end of a
long-term relationship, and the unexpected start of a new one,
coupled with a move from Seattle to Portland. She recalls
this recent time as "a real emotional pendulum. I was swing- ing
from joy to despair and back again. I was bouncing off the walls."
She channeled her restless energy into writing material that
mirrors those dramatically swinging moods; it shifts from brooding
to euphoric to the hauntingly contemplative. Veirs recorded
the album in Seattle, with band-mate Tucker Martine (The Decemberists,
Bill Frisell) once again producing and mixing. Though she
now calls her group Saltbreakers, it's actually comprised of her longtime
compatriots, formerly known as the Tortured Souls -- guitarist/bassist
Karl Blau, keyboardist Steve Moore and drummer Martine. The
name change was a practical decision: "I didn't want to talk about
that Tortured Souls thing anymore. It just got old," Veirs,
who also plays guitar, explains with a laugh, remembering
lots of bad jokes about the moniker.
Over the last three years, the band has traveled the world in
support of Veirs' previous Nonesuch albums, Carbon Glacier
(2004) and Year of Meteors (2005), assiduously cultivating an
international fan base. Veirs continues to praise the musicians'
strong interrelationship: "The band has gotten really close.
We've become like a real family. It's felt like that for a long
time, but it's even more so now. Before we made this record,
I demo-ed the tracks at home using Garageband. Then we went on
a short west coast tour and played the new material. One
of the big pay-offs of the way we work was then being able to
go into the studio and just play the songs."

SIERRA LEONE’S REFUGEE
ALL STARS
A Film by Zach Niles and Banker White
free screening in recognition of World Refugee
Day
This feature length documentary film tells the remarkable and
ultimately life-affirming story of Sierra Leone’s Refugee
All Stars, a group of six Sierra Leonean musicians who come together
to form a band while living as refugees in the Republic of Guinea.
Forced from their homes by a brutal, decade long civil war (1991-2002)
in Sierra Leone, the members of the band represent the thousands
of untold stories that exist amongst the survivors of the civil
war. It took the lives of many of their loved ones and left them
with physical and emotional scars that may never heal.
But it could never take away their music. Through music Sierra
Leone’s Refugee All Stars have found a place of refuge,
a sense of purpose and a source of power. Filmed in a genuine
climate of fear pervading the West African refugee camps on the
Guinea-Sierra Leone border, the film provides a unique and intimate
perspective on war and conflict in the developing world. SIERRA
LEONE’S REFUGEE ALL STARS is a character driven film that
chronicles the band over three years, from Guinean refugee camps
back to war-ravaged Sierra Leone. Amidst the tragedies of their
incredible losses the band triumphs by realizing the dream of
recording their first studio album. SIERRA LEONE’S REFUGEE
ALL STARS reveals unique and inspiring personal stories of survival
and rebirth through the universal language of music. As violent
conflicts multiply around the globe the worldwide refugee crisis
deepens, this film is a humanizing tribute to all the innocent
survivors of war. Through the uplifting music and emotional stories
of these six musicians, we begin to understand the brutal realities
of a war so often dismissed by the mass media and are witness
to the ability of individuals to sustain hope and create art in
a landscape dominated by rage and loss.

SIERRA
LEONE'S REFUGEE ALL STARS
FROM A REFUGEE CAMP IN REMOTE AFRICA, WRITING SONGS FOR THE WORLD
TO HEARWEST AFRICAN GROOVES, REGGAE RHYTHMS AND RHYTHMIC TRADITIONAL
FOLK TESTIFY TO TRANSCENDENT POWER OF MUSIC
TOURING THEIR NEW ALBUM 'Living Like A Refugee'
. The album follows the film 'The Refugee All Stars' - one of
the most acclaimed documentaries of the past year - which traces
the incredible journey of a group of musicians who fled their
native Sierra Leone in West Africa during that country's brutal
ten year civil war, eventually journeying back to be reunited
with family and friends, and realize their dream of recording
in a proper studio.
THE DOCUMENTARY WILL BE SHOWN DAY BEFORE
CONCERT JUNE 20TH AT 8PM
Recorded over a three-year period, from August 2002 to October
2005, the songs on the album serve as bookends to the absorbing
story told in the film. After fleeing Sierra Leone, the members
of the RAS came together in the Sembayounya Refugee Camp deep
in the remote countryside of neighboring Guinea. They made their
earliest recordings there, some of which are included on this
album. Imagine the scene: by the light of an oil lamp, the RAS
provide soul-searing harmonies accompanied by impossibly worn
acoustic guitars and makeshift percussion on songs that address
suffering and hope in equal measure. Elsewhere on the album this
spirit is amplified, literally and figuratively, on tracks recorded
at Island Studios in Freetown, Sierra Leone, after the members
of the RAS returned to their homeland.
Lyrically, the RAS' songs decry the insanity of war, the corruption
that surrounds them, and the living conditions they endure, all
in poetic, at times wry, fashion (“When two elephants are
fighting/The grass them a suffer.”). As the RAS combine
elements of West African music, reggae, rhythmic traditional folk
and hip-hop, the results are earthy, emotionally charged, and
indomitable.

CIRCUS
CONTRAPTION
" A bracing curative for the afflictions of our times "
Founded in 1998, Circus Contraption, the Northwest’s premiere
one-ring traveling circus began with performances two years in
a row at the Seattle Fringe Theater Festival. Circus Contraption
mixes traditional circus skills such as trapeze and aerial dance,
acrobatics, juggling and clowning with elements of cabaret, vaudeville
and physical comedy. The troupe also creates its own fantastical
masks, costumes, puppetry, props, sets and banners. Created with
a leaning toward the surreal, Circus Contraption juxtaposes the
dangerous with the whimsical, the exotic with the absurd. This
evening show will have some mature content material.
A Six-foot Amazonian Beetle, Giant Puppets, Aerial Artistry, Jugglers,
Stiltwalkers and Acrobats are just a few of the elements this
sideshow from the Twilight Zone might conjure up as part of any
given performance. In classic circus fashion, Circus Contraption
performances feature live, original music. Circus Contraption
plays quirky-jerky, loony-croony, gypsy-carnival-opera music to
accompany the physical acts and to aurally ambush audiences and
get them on their feet dancing. The Circus Contraption sound features,
at any given moment: vocals, accordion, banjo, guitar, bass, clarinet,
violin, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, theremin, washboard,
drums, rusty junk and elbow grease and more. Circus Contraption
puts a contemporary spin on circus music traditions with an aesthetic
described by The Stranger as "a cross between Tom Waits and
Wings of Desire."
The circus sold out both shows at the Rio several years ago..

On the 6th anniversary of 9/11
FILM : TERRORSTORM
Throughout history, criminal elements inside governments have carried out terror attacks against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them. TERRORSTORM reveals how, in the last hundred years, Western leaders have repeatedly murdered their own citizens while posing as their saviors.
In TERRORSTORM you will discover that September 11th, the attacks of 7/7 in London, and many other terrorist events were self-inflicted wounds. You will witness British Special Forces troops caught in the act of staging terror attacks in Iraq and see official US government documents laying out plans to hijack passenger planes by remote control. You will learn how the Reichstag fire, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the US-backed Iranian coup of 1953 are all interconnected false-flag terror events.
This UPDATED AND EXPANDED edition has more than 17 minutes of explosive new documentation. This final cut of TERRORSTORM is the definitive work exposing the history of government-sponsored terrorism.
Show time: 7:00pm
Tickets: $6.00

PINK MARTINI
Somewhere between a 1930s Cuban dance orchestra, a classical chamber music ensemble, a Brasilian marching street band and Japanese film noir is the 12-piece Pink Martini. Part language lesson, part Hollywood musical, the Portland, Oregon-based ‘little orchestra’ was created in 1994 by Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale to play at political fundraisers for progressive causes such as civil rights, affordable housing and public broadcasting. Equally at home performing its romantic, multi-lingual repertoire on concert stages and in smoky bars, Pink Martini draws a wildly diverse crowd.
Touring their new album , HEY EUGENE! , The album shines throughout -- from the golden-era Hollywood melody of “Everywhere” to the French cabaret of “Ojala.” Other collaborations anchor the set as well: Forbes’ sister Maya co-authored the pan-world “Dosvedanya Mio Bombino” with its globetrotting latin-meets-Russian beat supplied by the March Fourth Marching Band plus the Forbes-Lauderdale penned sexy sway of "City of Night." Bassist Phil Baker adds the quiet beauty of “Cante e Dance,” and Peruvian percussionist Martin Zarzar debuts the romantically complex “Mar Desconocido.” “It’s like a song from a Pedro Almodovar film,” says Lauderdale, “with an excerpt of a Chopin waltz in the middle of it.”

Sri Kaleshwar
Parameshwari Yoga ………….Channels to Mother Divine & Shiva
Considered one of India's most highly regarded living saints, Sri Kaleshwar is from the Divine Lineage of ancient Indian Spirituality, a lineage which includes such remarkable saints such as Shirdi Sai Baba, Jesus, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Ramana Maharishi. Sri Kaleshwar’s mission is to create many spiritual and master healers dedicated to helping
society during these tumultuous times. He says everyone must awaken to their unique duty and help relieve the suffering around them. To do this, he teaches ancient practices that the greatest spiritual figures, including Jesus, used to develop miraculous healing abilities. Sri Kaleshwar says that with the correct guidance every person has the ability to become like a Jesus using these techniques.
Kaleswar’s new book Parameshwari Yoga, Channels to Mother Divine & Shiva, is a remarkable book that reveals knowledge hidden for more than 3,000 years in an ancient palm leaf manuscript—knowledge that cannot be found anywhere else. The techniques revealed in this ground-breaking book:
• Give the remedy for healing the deepest heart pain
• Describe how to create powerful protection circles
• Lead to reaching the highest spiritual abilities
• And show how to use union energies between a man and woman in a high divine way.
The mantras and yantras contain the ‘PIN codes’ to accessing the Infinite Reality of the Divine Mother and Father, and how to use their energies to gain remarkable spiritual abilities, healing and enlightenment. A channel to their energy is the most direct way to understand who you truly are, where you came from, and why you came to this planet.

“A legend in seven different decades…” –
Jazziz
Dave Brubeck, designated a “Living Legend” by the
Library of Congress, continues to be at the top of his game well

of the gold-selling Time Out recording in 1959 that featured “Take
Five” and “Blue Rondo a la Turk,” songs that
he still plays in his sets today. In a career that has spanned
more than six decades, he is considered one of the great and important
figures in jazz for his well-crafted poly-rhythmic West Coast
Cool style. His quartet includes Bobby Militello, saxophone &
flute; Michael Moore, bass and Randy Jones, drums.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
Alternative rock legends and Grammy winners They Might Be Giants
return to the stage with their five piece band to celebrate the
release of their new album "The Else" produced by the
Dust Brothers and Pat Dillett.
Formed as a duo in 1982, They Might Be Giants has had a singular
career. Their Dial-A-Song service predated much of today's DIY
internet activity. The band enjoyed an amazing run of breakthrough
videos on MTV in the late 80s and early 90s. Their album "Flood"
went platinum. The band expanded to a more tradiional line-up,
and developed a reputation as a "must see" live show.
In the late 90s the band began expanding their horizons into television,
movies, and the internet, notably contributing the opening theme
to "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," "The
Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and the Grammy winning song
"Boss of Me" for "Malcom in the Middle."
ABOUT "THE ELSE"
While The Else finally captures their notoriously talented live
band in all their barnstorming glory, the complete effort is actually
an electrifying mix of homebrewed sonic madness and studio mastery.
Over a year and a half in the making and recorded on both coasts,
the album was created in collaboration with LA producers the Dust
Bros. (Beck, Beastie Boys, Hanson) and NYC engineer/producer Patrick
Dillett (Mary J. Blige, David Byrne, Soul Coughing). The album
is being release on the band's own imprint Idlewild thru Zoe/Universal.

THE ORCHESTRA OF PIAZZA VITTORIO
"Make orchestras, not war" -- Corriere della Sera
This award-winning Italian film chronicles the realization of an ambitious dream -- to create a unique, multi-ethnic orchestra that would fuse cultures, tradition and sounds from around the world. Artists and musicians residing in the dominantly immigrant neighborhood "Piazza Vittorio" in Rome, sought to save the historic Apollo Theater with a proposal to create a multi-media, multi-cultural theater with a resident orchestra. Launching their quest soon after 9/11, in a climate of government disdain for immigrants, the community organization "Apollo 11," is flanked by filmmaker Agostino Ferrente, who captures the entire incredible, 5-year journey that finally yields twenty-some musicians from 11 countries on 4 continents, who speak 8 different languages – all who, more or less live in Rome!
THE ORCHESTRA WILL PERFORM LIVE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FILM!
"…contagiously upbeat… a rousing call to arms for world-music aficionados…"
-- Deborah Young, Variety
Show time: 6:30pm

This year’s closing night PRFF benefit presents a multilevel treat: the award-winning documentary
Na Kamalei: The Men of Hula,
plus legendary hula kumu (teacher) Robert Cozimero, male hula dancing and live music by Ho’omana Hawaiian Band.
Directed by Lisette Marie Flanary, Na Kamalei: The Men of Hula follows Cozimero as he coaxes, bullies and inspires his group of dancers as they rigorously train for the 2005 Merrie Monarch Hula Competition on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Winner of the 2007 San Francisco International Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary, Na Kamalei: The Men of Hula gives the viewer ringside seats for the classes and also the thrilling final competition. Humorous, informative and sometimes surprising, this film demonstrates the challenge and rewards of the often-misunderstood art of male hula.
The primary focus of the film, besides the ancient dance form of hula itself, is Robert Cazimero: teacher, coach, choreographer and renowned musician. His ability – his talent, experience and energy – is the driving force behind the group, impelling them to achieve as individuals as well as a team.
Show time: 7:00 pm
Tickets are $15 in advance and at the door (proceeds benefit PRFF).
Tickets are available at: Westside Stories, 847 Almar Ave., Santa Cruz; Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Downtown Santa Cruz; Logos Books & Records, 1117 Pacific Ave., Downtown Santa Cruz; Aloha Island Grille,1700 Portola Dr., Santa Cruz; and online through Ticketweb at wwwticketweb.com

ROCKY HORROR
Last year Mountain Community Theater expanded beyond its traditional family-friendly fare by presenting Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show. The play follows a recently-engaged couple who stumble upon a remote castle while seeking sanctuary, instead being thrust into a world of forbidden sensuality. Their descent into a world of absolute pleasure is overseen by the master of the castle, Dr. Frank N. Furter, a scientific mastermind whose "lifestyle's too extreme." Rocky Horror shattered expectations by selling out all five performances.
Last year's audiences left raving about the weird and quirky characters, the high energy music and dance, and the outrageous humor—all elements that appear in the cult classic film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But the audiences were also treated to performances rich with meaning not present in the film version.
Show Time: 8:00 pm
Advance tickets are $15, tickets are available at the door for $20. For reservations or further information connect to www.mctshows.org. Tickets are also available at Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz 831-421-9200 and www.ticketweb.com
