Santa Cruz without the theatrical brilliance of its longstanding Shakespeare troupe is an unnerving thought, but in an alarming turn, such an absence in our arts community is looming due to current economic strife. Shakespeare Santa Cruz, a 27-year-old community gem, must raise $300,000 by noon of this Monday, Dec. 22, in order to continue into its 2009 season, which was to include “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Julius Caesar.” SSC Artistic Director Marco Barricelli states, “We are facing the very real danger of shutting our doors forever. But I’ve always thought (perhaps perversely) that hard times are when we need theatre the most.” If the $300,000 goal is not reached on time, all donations will be refunded.
 Wind in the Willows
Donate now online at shakespearesantacruz.org/support or santacruztickets.com and by phone at 459-5810 or 459-2159 or 420-5260.

Is it just us, or can this woman actually save the human race?
She rocks on stage, brightens up a scene whenever she’s got a co-starring TV gig, and happens to be one of the most outspoken comediennes/performance artists around. She’s Sandra Bernhard and she’s wants everybody to be ready—if not really conscious—for 2008. We caught up with Ms. B recently and got down and dirty. Read on … |
