  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    Tune-Yards

    Equality dictates a big ixnay on calling Merrill Garbus the non-male David Byrne. Nevertheless, Oakland’s rhythmic revolutionary exhibits a like-minded genius with percussive pop. On March’s Sketchy, Garbus calls out backhanded sexism on opener “Nowhere, Man,” singing, “Seems like Jesus and Dylan got the whole thing wrong/ If you cannot hear a woman, how can you write her song.” Her song of modernity and modality on a fifth LP for 4AD leaves listeners “Hypnotized” by a complex layering of base elements – clapping, sticks, piano – and lyrical truth-saying that peaks on two-part centerpiece “Silence” with, “It’s the future that I shape, the changing and revealing.”
