Is one born evil, or can anyone be seduced by the powers of the dark side? After a victorious battle, Macbeth, a military leader, and hero beyond reproach, meets three witches who prophesy great things for the man – but at what cost? When Lady Macbeth persuades her husband to take action to help the prophesy come true, it sets in motion a runaway train of ambition, betrayal, blood, and madness.

Tinsley Ellis is an American blues and rock musician. According to Billboard, “nobody has released more consistently excellent blues albums than Atlanta’s Tinsley Ellis. He sings like a man possessed and wields a mean lead guitar.”

Rolling Stone said, “On assertive originals and standards by the likes of Jimmy Reed and Junior Wells, Atlanta’s Tinsley Ellis unleashes feral blues guitar. Nonstop gigging has sharpened his six-string to a razor’s edge…his eloquence dazzles…he also achieves pyrotechnics that rival early Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.” 

A Festival of Light, Liberation, and New Music

This December, as candles are lit across the country, The Klezmatics — the world’s most celebrated klezmer band — return with their beloved Happy Joyous Hanukkah Tour, honoring both Jewish tradition and bold musical reinvention.

For nearly 40 years, The Klezmatics have been transforming klezmer from nostalgic memory into a living, breathing, revolutionary art form. And nowhere is that spirit more alive than in their legendary collaboration with Woody Guthrie, whose long-lost Hanukkah lyrics were brought to life in the band’s iconic 2006 album Happy Joyous Hanukkah.

The result is a Hanukkah concert like no other: a celebration of light in dark times, where ancient stories meet new melodies, and community is built through dance, laughter, and shared song.

Celebrate the holidays with The Hot Licks and The Christmas Jug Band for a rolicking good show! The Hot Licks, original members of Dan Hicks’ backing band, perform Dan’s classic songs in the Folk-Swing style that Dan Hicks invented – a blend of Gypsy Jazz, Folk and Swing with lots of vocal harmonies. The Hot Licks are dedicated to preserving the original sound and spirit in the way Dan taught them! They carry the torch for Folk-Swing with his signature style that has inspired so many others. They team up with perennial favorite The Christmas Jug Band, “the kings of 100 percent acoustic folk-skiffle-swing holiday high jinks.” Some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians, they perform on washboard, drums, guitars, percussion, kazoos, slide whistles, jaw harp, washtub bass, jug, accordions, autoharp, harmonica, piano, tenor sax, soprano sax, alto sax, baritone sax, clarinet, chromatic harmonica, recorder, trumpet and mandolin. If you’re tired of eggnog-sweet Christmas music, then you need “Jugology” under your tree and in your ears.

An original play about an urban Chicano struggling to understand himself and his place in his family legacy – a history of warriors, fighters, battlers against oppression and discrimination. He is gifted and educated, but conflicted and repressed.

Afraid to show his emotions, it takes his mother’s nearly fatal heart attack and the visitation of the spirits of his long dead relatives and of his historical idol, Pancho Villa, as well as a Jewish therapist to help him realize that he still can dance, love, and learn to forgive. Developed through the Raven Players’ ScripTease program.

Set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, Steel Magnolias centers around a group of ladies who frequent the parlor to get their hair done and gossip about anyone and everyone in town – not necessarily in that order. Alternately hilarious and touching, the play is a loving exploration of the profound bond that connects these six wildly different women.

Lee, a psychologist from Santa Fe, unexpectedly shows up at the door of her old flame, Bo, with a life-changing secret she is reluctant to share. As she struggles with opening up to Bo, Lee also seeks to reconnect with her estranged daughter who lives nearby. Brimming with humanity and humor, A Good Deal is a bittersweet tale of love, loss, and family connections.

“A Good Deal” is a Raven on the Road Production! Performances take place at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center:

Cloverdale, CA

1993 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

1993 Tony Award for Best Play

Set in 1980s New York City, a gay man is abandoned by his lover when he contracts the AIDS virus, while closeted Mormon lawyer’s marriage to his pill-popping wife stalls. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Widely described as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, Angels in America is a complex, dynamic, sometimes surrealistic examination of the AIDS crisis and homosexuality in the United States, while touching on universal issues including change, loss, identity, and the challenges of finding community in an increasingly fractured society.

Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical!
