Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of immortal King Hades and Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and Bauhaus design\, the sung-through musical pits industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love.

Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of immortal King Hades and Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and Bauhaus design\, the sung-through musical pits industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love.

SUMMARY:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
DESCRIPTION:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time\n\n\nFriday\, May 23 – 24 and 30-31\,  8 – 10:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe play was first produced by the National Theater in the UK and on Broadway won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. It tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher\, who has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road\, he detests being touched\, and he distrusts strangers. His discovery of the neighbor’s dog Wellington\, speared with a garden fork\, sets him on a journey of “detecting” which goes well beyond who killed Wellington. He uncovers his family history\, learns his strengths in surprising ways\, and also reveals how difficult it can be to live with someone who doesn’t fit our expectations of “normal” behaviour. At a time when the very concept of diversity is being undermined in some places\, recognizing the challenges and potential of a person who would now be labelled as “neurodiverse” is important to us. \nCurious Incident features MCT veteran actors\, Mathew Chipman\, Helene Simkin Jara\, Sonia Motlagh\, Brad Roades\, Wyatt Troxell\, and Jackson Wolffe\, as well as newcomers to MCT\, Mark Matthews\, Molly Meyers\, LeAnne Ravinale\, and Megan Stewart. \n\n\n\n\n\nVisit Event Website \n\n\n Get Tickets  Price:   $20.00 to $25.00\n\n\n\n\nEvent Contact: Mountain Community Theater\, Peter Gelblum\, pbgelblum@gmail.com\,  831-366-4777

SUMMARY:Dungeons and Dragons for Adults 18+
DESCRIPTION:Dungeons and Dragons for Adults 18+\n2nd & 4th Saturdays\, 12-5pm\, beginning May 25\n\n\nFor adults 18+\, step into the realm of Dungeons & Dragons! Whether you’re a newbie or a veteran adventurer\, join us every 2nd and 4th Saturday for an epic afternoon of storytelling.\n\nBe a bard\, wizard\, or barbarian\, and tackle creative challenges with new friends. No experience needed\, just your creativity!\n\nLet the adventure begin!\n\nNo prior experience is necessary. This program is for adults 18+. \nWhat is Dungeons and Dragons?  \nD&D is one of many tabletop role-playing games\, in which players create and control fictional characters within a shared imaginary world. A Game Master guides the story and sets the scene\, while the players make decisions for their characters\, rolling dice to determine outcomes. TTRPGs encourage creativity\, teamwork\, and storytelling as players collaborate to overcome challenges and complete quests. \nModern D&D has veered away from the combat-heavy game it used to be. While it’s still possible to spend hours attacking monsters and finding loot\, many groups now tell stories of mystery\, intrigue\, horror\, or whimsy. \nWho are the game masters?  \nThis event is organized by Jeltje van Baren (yinnah@yahoo.com)\, who learned to play a few years ago and has been creating games for new players ever since. She will be assisted by a rotating group of diverse GMs from the local TTRPG community\, all of whom are used to patiently explaining the rules and keeping the game fun for everyone. \n\nhttps://lDungeons and Dragons for Adults 18+oom.ly/v5N-5J0

SUMMARY:READ program with Ziggy the mini
DESCRIPTION:READ program with Ziggy the mini\nOne hour Sessions\, 1pm and 2pm\, on Saturday and Sunday afternoons\, beginning  November 30 and December 1\n \nREAD program (Reading Equine Art Duo) with Ziggy the mini was designed to strengthen reading skills in a fun\, creative way. Students experience nature\, art\, and animals in a relaxed\, calming environment. \nFrom this\, Lisa (a Reading Specialist with 25+ years of experience) works with students to build and develop strong reading skills such as: phonemic awareness\, phonics\, fluency\, vocabulary development\, and reading comprehension. \nSince reading is a gateway to accessing information\, students will likely improve in all subject areas. \nIn addition\, their self esteem will begin to soar as they gain confidence with each reading session. \nLastly\, Ziggy’s adorable\, gentleness is just too cute for words. Students will fall in love with him at first sight. So\, come join the fun and learn is a holistic way with Ziggy and Lisa 🙂 \n\nWhere: READ program is currently hosted at a ranch in Watsonville.  Also we will be visiting libraries\, schools\, hospitals\, and nursing homes soon!  Ziggy Stardust is our dwarf miniature horse and he loves reading with all age levels.     \nLisa is also available to visit your horse(s) and READ with them!  This social/mental stimulation provides an overall sense of well-being.  They love it; see video How tab for evidence.  😉 \n\n\n\n\nWhen: For availability\, more information and directions\, text Lisa at (831) 227-9847

SUMMARY:Hadestown by All About Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Hadestown by All About Theatre\n7pm: Thursday May 22; Friday May 23; Saturday May 24\, \n2pm: Saturday May 24\n\nI want to share this spectacular production with  you and offer a discount for our Thursday evening performance this weekend. We would be honored to have you in attendance. Please invite those with income restraints as our mission is to make theater accessible to all.  Lindsey Chester\n\nCODE: Hades$5\n\n\n7pm Performance – Thursday May 22 (Discount Code)\n7pm Performance – Friday May 23\n2pm Performance – Saturday May 24\n7pm Performance – Saturday May 24\n\n\nThis intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of immortal King Hades and Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and Bauhaus design\, the sung-through musical pits industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love.
