What we’re about
A group for those who enjoy live music and theater. Ventura County has varied musical talent: chamber orchestra, jazz, flamenco (!), blues, folk and rock n roll. We also have our share of theatre, musicals and drama plus a smattering of dance. I will pick out events, you buy the ticket. We'll find a nice place to eat and meet. We will venture to Northridge and Santa Barbara.

See all- DesoLAtion Center: when LA's underground headed for the desertRubicon Theatre Company, Ventura, CA
LA's punk scene was steeped in DIY and infused with art. It was also infamously suppressed by LAPD. Desolation Center documents a time when they went underground and then out of town to avoid the police riots. Blazing the trail followed later by the raves, Burning Man and Coachella. The Minutemen, Sonic Youth and Survival Research Laboratories figured heavily. Sooo
Before the screening we'll get a performance from Mike Watt (Minutemen, dos, fIREHOSE, Banyan etc) Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros etc).
Then the incredible documentary. Followed by Q&A with director Stuart Swezey, producer Mariska Leyssius, and legendary punk performance artist Johanna Went. Seated $45 - The Fractured Actors' Variety ShowVentura Vineyard Christian, Ventura, CA
