SANTA MONICA COLLEGE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Dear Friends,
We invite you to a sneak preview of our 2016/17 Season. This brochure
features a glimpse of what you have come to expect from your theater,
world class artists, excitement, interest, a way to enrich our lives.
We are proud of our continued residency with the Los Angeles ensemble,
Calder Quartet. Their ongoing exploration of Beethoven’s influence also
brings a selection of modern composers working in LA. If you have not
heard them yet, this is a must. Beethoven, Bagels & Banter on Sunday
mornings is delighting all of us and our Curator, Robert Davidovici outdoes himself with each new concert.
Jazz takes center stage this season to feature five vibrant artists from
across the spectrum. Joey Alexander at twelve years old blew us away in
the Edye and now with a GRAMMY performance to his name, returns to
the main stage. Don’t miss the exquisite Ms. Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton.
We have plans to make The Broad Stage home for Westside Jazz lovers,
we want you to be part of this.

Ms. Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton
A “resolutely un-pindownable band” (The New
York Times), GRAMMY-nominated quintet Kneebody
generates explosive rock energy paralleled with
high-level chamber ensemble playing, and highly
wrought compositions balanced with adventurous
no-holds-barred improvising. All “sounds-like”
references can be set aside as the band has
created a genre and style all its own.
Star of the 2013 Oscar-winning documentary Twenty
Feet from Stardom, Lisa Fischer’s passion for music in
all its forms leads her to constant growth and experimentation with different styles. After four decades of
singing background for icons like the Rolling Stones,
Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, and Nine Inch Nails, Fischer
is finally offering her own humble, heartfelt song,
accompanied by her inventive new band Grand Baton.

Love that Dog
Based on the novel by Sharon Creech
The Edye
Jack hates poetry. Only girls write it and every time he tries
to, his brain feels empty. But his teacher, Ms. Stretchberry,
won’t stop giving her class poetry assignments—and Jack
can’t avoid them. But then something amazing happens.
The more he writes, the more he learns he does have something to say. Returning to the Edye Second Space (Manxmouse, 2014), Theatergroep Kwatta’s Love That Dog shows
how one boy finds his own voice with the help of a teacher,
a writer,a pencil, some yellow paper, and of course, a dog.
