CARRERA PRODUCTIONS

Los Lobos

45th Anniversary Tour What began as the soundtrack of the barrio in 1973 continues today, as the dedicated, constantly-touring Los Lobos celebrates 45 years of a powerful mix of rock, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues and traditional Spanish and Mexican music. This tour is a thank you to all of the fans who have supported the band over their long career and features an acoustic set followed by an electric set covering music from the last five decades. Don’t miss the hardest working band in the business — David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, and Steve Berlin — still jamming with the same raw intensity as they had when they began in an East L.A. garage.

The Play That Goes Wrong A “gut-busting hit” (New York Times). This hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes begins on opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, a play in which things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. The leading lady is unconscious, the corpse can’t play dead, and the actors trip over everything (not least of which is their lines). The Olivier Award-winning comedy is “a riotous explosion of comedy!” (The Daily Beast) that’s “tons of fun for all ages!” (HuffPost).

The Actors’ Gang

The New Colossus

In this intensely physical production, actors tell their ancestors’ stories in twelve different eras, all woven into a single narrative about escaping an oppressive homeland and being drawn to the beacon above Ellis Island. The play was workshopped during the Obama years in a reaction to the Syrian refugee crises; Director Tim Robbins told the Los Angeles Times, “I looked around at our company, and we have people from all over the world, so I asked everyone to really think about their own families and how they found their way here.” Performed in twelve languages, each used sparsely, and interspersed with live music, poetry, and kinetic movement, the play concludes with a question — who are we as a nation? “The New Colossus holds a theatrical mirror to the nation” (Los Angeles Times).

A prodigy in the true sense of the word — he won four All-Ireland Championships on four different instruments by the age of 14 — Seamus Egan was the founding member of the seminal band Solas.

As a composer, he was behind the soundtrack for the award-winning film The Brothers McMullen and co-wrote Sarah McLachlan’s “Weep Not for the Memories.” Nowadays, he performs songs from across his career, along with songs he’s neither recorded or performed. And he does it all on Irish flute, tenor banjo, guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, and low whistle, among others. A St. Patrick’s Day performance not to be missed.

An Evening with Anne Lamott

“Anne Lamott is both utterly disarming and hysterically funny.

One minute, you’re falling off your chair laughing, and the next, she unfurls a sentence that cuts straight to the heart of what you really needed to know” (Chicago Tribune). She addresses subjects that begin with capital letters — Alcoholism, Motherhood, Jesus. She’s armed with both self-effacing humor — she is laugh-out-loud funny — and ruthless honesty, telling her stories with honesty, compassion and a pureness of voice. Winner of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee in the California Hall of Fame, she’s the author of seven novels (Hard Laughter) and several bestselling books of nonfiction, including Operating Instructions (her life as a single mother during her son’s first year), and the classic Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. Her lectures are much loved and tickets are going fast.

Seeds

An evening of documentary theater, and a fascinating look at the food we eat.

Seeds tells of the seven-year legal battle between a Saskatchewan farmer and Monsanto Inc, one of the largest biotechnology corporations in the world.

An evening of “impeccable performances, dynamic design, and swift pacing” (The Coast), the central question of “who owns life?” leads to an evening of “great journalism, and even better theater” (Montreal Gazette).
