Alison Whismore BStTheatreSchoolTour 2013-04-23T18:47:10Z BStTheatreSchoolTour comment-81884 2013-04-23T17:40:47Z 2013-04-23T17:40:47Z The tour has just been extended till June 14, so it's not too late to book a show! And, I do want to add to the reference to Rotary, that Active 20-30 Club #1 in Sacramento also played a large role in sponsoring shows this year, University of Phoenix, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation also sponsored some workshops and an assembly, 3 Soroptimists Clubs, Optimists, the Any Given Child program through Friends of the Arts Commission, as well as some very special individuals. It truly is overwhelming to witness these groups and inviduals rallying to bring this experience to kids. Kudos to the TEACHERS, too, who give their students the opportunity to express their creativity through writing for our contest!!! Without the contest entries, we wouldn't have a tour! One cannot underestimate how this truly is a "community" experience.

It's an event that the 5th and 6th graders look forward to every year. Not only are they learning to write dialogue, they are using all of their creativity to come up with the funniest writing that I see all year. Cudos to our Josh Golden! So proud to be his teacher.

Since the days of watching my Dad play trumpet in the live band, to my Mom helping change backstage, to watching my older siblings perform until it was my turn to take the stage! Performing was great but the people, the places, the experiences, and the lifelong friendships that shaped me as a person is what I will never forget! In fact, to celebratethe my 40th birthday this year I met with some of my closest Galenat buddies in Lake Tahoe for a reunion. I now live in Colorado and pray to find a Galena for my four girls!

It's a delightfully entertaining show that is great for the whole family. The Clingers have done amazing work throughout the years and Sacramento would do well to encourage more of this type of entertainment. Can't wait for next year! csant 2012-12-14T04:41:51Z williams comment-77142 2012-12-14T03:20:21Z 2012-12-14T03:20:21Z The Galena Holiday Tapestry is on the top of our list of Christmas Traditions. Attending the concert helps our family get into the Christmas spirit. The performers, costumes and sets are all outstanding. This is one of the best performing groups in the State of California. williams 2012-12-14T03:20:21Z bertagninifam comment-77139 2012-12-14T00:49:35Z 2012-12-14T00:49:35Z I am also an Alumni of this wonderful group. Being apart of this group at a young age it helped me to grow as a performer but it also helped me to grow as an individual. I have found that I have talents I never thought I had working backstage. Now that I have all kids apart of this group, I have seen confidence in each one of my children grow. This group has not only help my children develop their talents but it has also helped them to find out who they are. bertagninifam 2012-12-14T00:49:35Z Akarren comment-77136 2012-12-14T00:01:57Z 2012-12-14T00:01:57Z A wonderful group of kids who are being taught that hard work pays off!

The performing was great and the show always well-produced gave us a opportunity to showcase our talents but Galena is so much more. I learned there is 'no such word as can't'-- I could do it if I had desire, discipline and determination. And by doing so each success built the confidence I needed to progress even further. Unity, learning to work with many different people, doing your best, life long friendships, and sacrifice while still maintaining standards of modesty and decency (hard to find in today's performing world) were all learned during the few short years I performed with Galena. Our yearly tours around the world helped broaden our horizons and see how similar we are as people though our language different. Music and dance have a way of reaching beyond those barriers and bonding us. Those moments are some of our most treasured memories. I'm happy my daughter is now having the same experiences - Galena is going into its 42nd year - it has lasted that long for many reasons - I feel blessed to have been a part of it. cgrimsman 2012-12-13T18:40:55Z hjsant comment-77092 2012-12-13T18:30:28Z 2012-12-13T18:30:28Z Galena Street East is awesome.

For those of you not familiar with the sport, it is HARD. And beautiful at the same time. At least one of Pamela's students went on to dance for the prestigious London Ballet. From the looks of these picks, she hasn't lost her touch. R.V. Scheide 2012-10-23T02:24:08Z Kati Garner comment-74985 2012-10-21T17:06:07Z 2012-10-21T17:06:07Z Great shots Barry!

My trek involved a long drive from Los Angeles, dropping off my two-year-old twins with my soon-to-be brother-in-law in Novato and then driving up to Davis with my sister and landing in our seats one minute before Elvis Costello took the stage. Mr. Costello did not disappoint...even when he stopped in the middle of his third song, removed his ear-piece and started over again. I found him most compelling when he sang a capella. It was a wonderful performance. One of my favorite aspects of the show was the format whereby he made the song selections based upon his personal preferences. My only criticism is reserved for the man who sat two rows behind us and yelled "The Comedian" over and over between songs in the show. When Elvis Costello told us that he was going to play a song that he has never recorded, the crowd fell silent...except for the ass hat who wanted to hear "The Comedian," he decided that would be a great time to have a not-so-hushed conversation with his date. Elvis Costello was wonderful. The tool who sat behind me was not. caffeine 2012-10-09T17:08:47Z Alison Kranz comment-73653 2012-09-18T21:34:04Z 2012-09-18T21:34:04Z This looks like such fun!

This funny drama, produced by Ray Tatar, is directed by Penny Kline with such detail and specificity, that you think you are part of the corporate office too! Veteran actor Loren Taylor cleverly plays Al with such wit and charm, you really believe he’s a mechanical savant, full of ideas and holding back the highly sought after plans to make a company machine work! Charlie Holliday plays the perfect corporate executive, rationalizing his every move. Idea Man gets even funnier with Elly award winning actors Eric Baldwin, Michele Koehler, Christina Clem West Ramsey, Nicholas Koehler, and Jawara Duncan. Eric Baldwin as Frank, the company architect, is so desperate to get the plans for the machine that he does things that no executive would imagine doing. Baldwin’s acting is impeccable and you laugh the minute you see his expressions. Michele Koehler plays a very clever and funny Francine Carson in her high heels, especially when she takes the stakes to a level that will leave you speechless. Christine Clem plays Maureen Thompson in a very believable manner; further creating obstacles for her husband Frank. Finally the three other company employees Gino, played by West Ramsey, Doyle played by Jawara Duncan, and Bobby, played by Nicholas Koehler add to the hilarious but true rift between management and union employees. This important entertaining play is not to be missed. There is some profanity and better suited for adults but 12 and older are welcome. Set designs are by Linda McLaughlin, Kurt Kurtis, costumes by Julie Dahl, set construction by Buzz Weitz and Mural by Lily Moon. “The Idea Man” runs through Mar 17, 2012. Don’t miss this one.

The play is entertaining, funny, and thought provoking. Loren Taylor's comedic timing is spot on and Eric Baldwin utilizes Steve Carrill's inspired "takes" to great effect. Thoroughly enjoyable.... ron cooper 2012-02-19T22:44:35Z Martay comment-63872 2012-02-18T06:40:43Z 2012-02-18T06:40:43Z Just got home from attending the performance on Friday the 17th. Just an excellent cast particularly Stephanie Altholz. Great play. Very satisfying all around. Martay 2012-02-18T06:40:43Z KES comment-62879 2012-01-30T16:19:58Z 2012-01-30T16:19:58Z Titillating? Some. Charming-- a lot. I liked the historical insight into life at the beginning of electrical appliances, the delight of being able to turn on lights with a switch. (And off. And on again. Amazing!) And then there are insights into the scientific knowledge and cultural accepted truths at that same time. And a demonstration of what women can accomplish-- gleefully-- when they join forces. Wonderful cast, well worth seeing. By adults.

I would suggest that anyone that wants to have a great night or afternoon of theatre where you can't stop laughing to start looking for tickets to "Forbidden Broadway" now.

Unfortunately, there was a typo in it. The correct spelling of Stephanie Altholz's co-star in "Aliens With Extraordinary Skills" is Rinabeth Apostol. My apologies to Rinabeth! Also, the Family Series show pictured in the slideshow should be "Junie B. Jones in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells!" That one is on me!

I was going to mention something about how Dog the Bounty Hunter had replaced Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as a top holiday icon!

What better position could he possibly put himself into that would GAURANTEE himself of getting CAST? Pretty cheesy and just downright low-rank AMATUER - abusing your position of authority to cast HIMSELF in shows at STC. What a JOKE, lol!!!

I don't see how having a modicum of carry-on accessories can prevent one's eating of sold-out-halfway-through-the-day, drving-from-Rio-Linda-to-get-some cupcakes. Cupcakes are, after all, superior to cake in that their proportions are delicately balanced and personalized. You must have another reason you're not stating - which is fine, understand... but don't feed me this line about the camera bag. It doesn't even make any sense. We want to eat this cupcake vicariously and you've left us on the side of the bed, crying. (At anonymous thumbs down: obviously this was humor) Ken White 2010-10-27T02:15:33Z Colleen Belcher comment-39578 2010-10-26T18:39:50Z 2010-10-26T18:39:50Z We need to get you some go-go-gadget arms so that cupcake eating can be multi-tasked with photography :) Colleen Belcher 2010-10-26T18:39:50Z Barry Wisdom comment-39530 2010-10-26T05:44:53Z 2010-10-26T05:44:53Z Sadly, no, because they looked delicious (as did everything in the shop). When I'm not lugging a camera bag, camera and notebook, I'll probably take the plunge!
