Chautauqua Playhouse to Open Picasso at the Lapin Agile on August 14

Picasso at the Lapin Agile

Chautauqua Playhouse announces the first show of its 33rd season, PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE ,by Steve Martin, opening on August 14, at the Playhouse. The show will run on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm through September 20. All performances will be held at the Chautauqua Playhouse, 5325 Engle Road in the La Sierra Community Center in Carmichael. Admission is $17 general and $15 students, seniors, children and SARTA members.

This is America’s favorite funny man, Steve Martin’s, first comedy for the stage. Einstein and Picasso meet in a Paris cafe in 1904 just before they set the world afire. An infectious, time warping, dizzying romp! The show is as funny as it is thought provoking.

The production is directed by Maggie Upton. Set design is by Rodger Hoopman, with lighting by Ross Aldrich. Costumes are by Eileen Beaver. The cast includes Daryl Petrig, Blake Flores, Marc Berman and many others.

Because of popular demand, this year Chautauqua Playhouse has extended the run of each of its productions to six weekends. This makes 285 additional seats available for each production. Season tickets are currently available. Individual tickets go on sale on August 7.

For tickets and additional information call the theatre at (916) 489-7529
(PLAY). Information and tickets are also available through the Chautauqua Playhouse website: www.cplayhouse.org.


Camellia City Flute Choir Presents Spring Concert

Camellia City Flute Choir will present their 2009 Spring Concert as guests of the CSUS Flute Ensemble. The performance will take place in Sacramento State’s Capistrano Hall, at 7pm on Wednesday, April 29th. Each group will perform separately, then combine for a number at the end of the concert.

CCFC will present pieces by Rossini, Via, Jordan, Glazunov, Foster, and, Handel (heavy metal choir). The CSUS Flute Ensemble, which is directed by Bill Damian and mentored by Professor Laurel Zucker will present works by Shocker, Perrey, Lauf, and Vivaldi.

CCFC has become more and more diverse in the use of the less common members of the flute family and in January, they added a 2nd contra bass flute to the ensemble. The contra stands vertically and is taller than most of its players, bending at the top in such a way that the mouthpiece is horizontal. It plays 2 octaves lower than the common C flute. In addition to the 2 contras, 2 to 3 bass flutes and up to 4 alto flutes are used in most works presented by the 15 member CCFC, lowering the center of the sound. As interest in the lower flutes increases, director Martin Melicharek has started to arrange music for a “heavy metal” choir of alto, bass and contra bass flutes, and has programmed one of these arrangements, (a Handel fugue), at the upcoming concert.

The concert is free and parking permits to enable concert goers to park in the garage adjacent to Capistrano Hall (the music building) will be available in the lobby before the performance.
