SUMMARY:Bruce Forman - The Red Guitar: a jazz libretto
DESCRIPTION:TWO SHOWS!:  6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. \nThe Red Guitar: a jazz libretto is Bruce Forman’s perspective into the life of a musician\, and an exploration of the creative process. \nImagine receiving an invitation to a gala featuring John Coltrane\, Sigmund Freud\, and Faust. Bruce Forman’s “The Red Guitar” is all that more. It draws on Forman’s decades of experience as a formidable jazz guitarist and his considerable skill as a storyteller and teacher\, producing a work that is greater than the sum of its dazzling parts. \nA story in and about jazz\, The Red Guitar showcases Bruce Forman’s genre—breaking inventiveness and his ability to improvise and create within a classical form. Enlisting the full power of the jazz idiom and integrating it with seasoned and provocative story-telling\, he confronts the dilemma of artistic obsession face-to-face—by creating a work of art that simultaneously explores and demonstrates the hold that music has over its most ardent followers\, the hold that poses itself as a life-or-death\, must-be-solved-question to Forman and his ilk: “The Red Guitar. Do you play it…or does it play you? \nTickets are $20\, available at brownpapertickets.com. \n

SUMMARY:Jazz at The Cherry Presents     Bruce Forman's Junkyard Duo
DESCRIPTION:Bruce Forman’s Junkyard Duo \nJoin us in welcoming Bruce Forman back to The Cherry for an encore performance on Friday\, July 7th at 5:00pm. This past May\, his one-man stage play “The Red Guitar” was a sold-out hit.  This time around\, scavenging music from the edge of sound\, his Junkyard Duo will use unique instrumentation and exotic sounds to create a spontaneous and intimate exploration of styles and approaches. Partnering with Bruce for this show is Jake Reed–drummer\, percussionist and soundscaper extraordiaire! Hobo chic at its utmost! \nAbout Bruce Forman \nBruce Forman’s guitar style has been an important part of the international jazz scene for more than three decades. He has been featured as leader as well as sideman at many of the most prestigious festivals and concert venues throughout the world. His numerous recording and performing credits include the likes of Bobby Hutcherson\, Ray Brown\, Freddie Hubbard\, Joe Henderson\, Barney Kessel\, Roger Kellaway\, Richie Cole\, and countless others. Known for swinging bop-style phrasing and inventive harmonizations\, his ability to work in a variety of settings keeps him in constant demand. His guitar work is featured throughout Clint Eastwood’s Academy Award-winning film\, Million Dollar Baby. \nForman’s life and musical journey provide an American saga that is still in full swing. His Texas origins\, early career in San Francisco and New York\, and years on the road all contribute to the unique and highly personal vision he demonstrates today. Deep immersion in American culture inspires him to contribute to the traditions he drew from. Cow Bop’s “road challenges” down historic byways like Route 66; original works like The Red Guitar; JazzMasters Workshop — these are only the latest answers to the endless question that underlies Bruce Forman’s creativity. His music and life reflect every step of his journey\, and demonstrate the awareness of an artist who’s very much at home in the world\, and at the top of his form. \n One performance only: Friday\, July 7th\,  from 5:00PM –  7:00PM. The $25 ticket price includes wine and light fare.  Tickets available through Brown Paper Tickets or by calling (831) 624-7491. \nThis performance is sponsored in part by Morgan Winery.

SUMMARY:Monterey at 60! A Visual Feast
DESCRIPTION:Monterey at 60! A Visual Feast\, an exhibit exploring 60 years of Monterey Jazz Festival posters\, opens Friday\, August 18th at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. A reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday\, August 18th. The event is free and open to the public. \nShowcasing six decades of Monterey Jazz Festival images\, Monterey at 60! tells the story of the festival through its graphic imagery and photographic moments\, capturing the experience through posters\, program covers dating back to 1958. \nAlongside sixty years of some of the greatest jazz in the United States\, the exhibit will showcase posters which embody the spirit of the Festival as a whole: posters which represent all the great music and the complementary “scene” that exists just outside the venues hosting that music. \nThe Monterey Jazz Festival posters were created by graphic artists\, such as Earl Newman\, throughout the Festival’s history and have become an iconic and fitting symbol of 60 years of great music and food\, folklore\, and human fellowship. The posters have come to herald each year’s musical fare–unveiled annually when the artists to appear were first announced. Collaboration on the part of graphic artists established a unique Festival brand\, one of its icons a trumpet stationed on a chair\, often with a sylvan ocean setting in the background. This feast of posters reflects the beauty and abundance of music that graced Monterey Jazz Festival stages\, and the multitude of fans who have embraced the music. \nThe exhibit can be seen through September 15th during gallery hours:  Wednesday through Friday from 11 to 4 p.m.; Saturdays\, noon to 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Monterey County Artists Open Studio Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Carl Cherry Center for the Arts will be participating in the 2017 Monterey County Artists Open Studio Tour\, an annual self-guided tour of artist studios and exhibition spaces\, on September 23rd and 24th from  11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This year\, the exhibit will include sculptures\, mosaics\, paintings ceramics\, and etchings by local artists Vivienne Riggio\, Carole Pavlo\, and Christine Watten. The event is free\, and open to the public. \nRiggio’s contributions to the exhibit include a distinctive body of work   influenced by the Italian Renaissance\, Charles James\, and what she describes as “outpourings from the ocean and nature’s leftovers.” Her signature shapes are torsos and bustiers\, given form through three media:  sculptures\, mosaics\, and two-dimensional acrylics. \nAmong the selected works to be featured by Pavlo are “twin” bronze sculptures expressing grief and sorrow at their most primal levels. Also on display will be her moving black and white etching of the Madonna and child\, abstract oils and acrylics\, and landscape art\, revealing the range and depth of this artist’s works. \nWatten’s paintings reflect her fascination with the contrast of forms\,  shadow\, and light ever present in the California landscape. The inspiration for her other art forms\,  glass and clay\, comes from her work with plants as a landscaper\, and her love of folk art and abstract design. Watten’s work completes what promises to be an inspirational and enriching exhibit. \nThe Center\, located at Guadalupe and Fourth Streets in Carmel\, will welcome the public to view these works at no charge from 11am to 5pm on Saturday\, September 23rd and Sunday September 24th.  Make sure to stop in to see this display of distinctive original art as a part of your weekend activities. \n  \n

SUMMARY:"chatter"
DESCRIPTION:“chatter\,” an exhibition by George Raggett and Pilar Conde\, opens October 6th\, 2017 with an artists’ reception from 5:00 – 7:00pm. The event is free and open to the public. \nFor this exhibition\, Raggett and Conde’s work examines – literally – the structural devices of discourse.  The works illuminate\, privilege\, and fetishize formal elements of our current communication systems.  Unlike email\, texting\, and twitter feeds\, the artworks lack actual words\, phrases\, sentences\, or questions\, instead remaining open to interpretation.  Under the influence of minimalism\, they slow down today’s hectic pace of chatter.  Different materials\, textures and colors\, create different moods; expanding the emotional range of the exhibition.  From rendering texting as “solids\,” to the punctuation of a Spanish language question framing a “gateway\,” the often harsh politics of today’s twitter rants and anti-immigrant rhetoric hover provocatively in the background of each piece. \nThe exhibition will run through November 3rd\, 2017. \nAbout the Artists: \nMarried in 2001\, Raggett and Conde currently reside in Brooklyn\, New York. This is their second joint exhibition\, the first for Welsh/Beck Gallery (former Richard Neutra offices) in the Silver Lake region of Los Angeles.\nGeorge Raggett received his BA from UC Santa Barbara’s College of Creative Studies\, and MFA from Bard College.  He has exhibited widely\, including the Hammer Museum\, Happy Lion Gallery\, Cirrus Gallery and ACME in Los Angeles; and La Mama\, Triple Candie\, White Columns in New York CIty. \nPilar Conde received her BA from Virginia Commonwealth University\, MFA from Columbia  University\, and attended the Skowhegan Residency program.  She has exhibited widely\, including Claremont University\, Cirrus Gallery\, and Kristi Engle Gallery in Los Angeles; and PS1 MOMA\, Socrates Sculpture Park\, and Soloway in New York City. \nPictured:  “Awkward Conversation 2”  – George Raggett \n  \n

SUMMARY:Golden Ratio X
DESCRIPTION:  \nGolden Ratio X\, a multimedia literary event of divine proportion\, will be performed Friday\, November 10th\, and Saturday\, November 11th\, at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, Carmel. \nThe story of Golden Ratio X takes place in the mind of Blaze\, a stripper who must rectify her own identity and sense of purpose at the Mitchell Brothers’ O’Farrell Theatre\, San Francisco\, circa 1986.  In dressing room scenes\, dancers discuss issues of spirituality versus the universal truths of the Golden Ratio.  Other scenes take place in the theatre audience\, where Blaze navigates the complicated nuances of lap dancing. Dancers will perform in the style of 1980’s striptease in between acted scenes. The story deals with mature subject matter\, but is not X-rated. \nTwo performances only: Friday\, November 10th\, and Saturday\, November 11th\, at 7:30PM. Tickets are $23.00\, available on brownpapertickets.com or by calling (831) 624-7491. \nThe Cast: \nJanice Blaze Rocke (writer\, director\, producer\, narrator) is a graduate of CSUMB where she studied Creative Writing/Social Action while single-parenting two children. She’s produced theme-based variety shows; filmed and edited videos; written short stories\, plays and screenplays; and created a vast array of art. Her novel\, Resurrections in the Dark\, is loosely based on her life. She has also written for Polygon online magazine. She produces multi-media literary-based events on the peninsula with other enthusiastic writers\, artists\, dancers\, actors\, videographers\, and technical wizards. \n Deena Welch (Blaze) has been living in Monterey for ten years.

She played several leads in the short-lived Fox television series Totally Hidden Video and on Making Yourself at Home on PBS.

She played the title role in Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlander at the Western Stage\, Elizabeth in Laundry and Bourbon\, and Lizzie in The Rainmaker. \nThomas Burks (as “the other kind of man”) was born on a small farm outside of a small town in West Texas. He began writing music in his early twenties\, and acting in his early thirties. Burks has written several monologues and a play\, A Farmboy Mantra. He is currently working on Atticus and Matilda\, a second installment of Farmboy based on two mentally challenged siblings in rural Texas. \nCarri Newhouse (Raja) is a Pacific Grove native who dances beneath the fireworks at the Feast of Lanterns Pageant\, and onstage with the M.P.C. Dance Department. Fulfilling a childhood dream of waking this sleepy town\, Newhouse promotes flow arts with Monterey Fire & Flow\, a group who cultivate juggling and dancing with fire.

SUMMARY:A Very Cherry Christmas
DESCRIPTION:The Carl Cherry Center for the Arts in Carmel will light up with the spirit of Christmas during the first two weekends in December when it presents Mark Shilstone-Laurent’s A Very Cherry Christmas. The first act consists of a performance of David Sedaris’s The Santaland Diaries featuring Mark Shilstone-Laurent in a hilarious one-man show chronicling the life of an elf in Macy’s Santaland. Act Two showcases a series of Christmas readings performed by local favorites MaryAnn Schaupp-Rousseau\, John Newkirk and Julie Hughett. \nThe show plays December 1\,2\,3 & 8\,9\,10\, with a 7:30 curtain Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday the 3rd is a 2pm matinee\, Sunday the 10th starts at 7pm. Tickets are $20. For reservations call (831) 676-0148\, or visit brownpapertickets.com. Proceeds will benefit the Sparrow Collaborative\, an advocacy group for the homeless. \nOf Sedaris\, critics say\, “With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques\, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.” Turn that talent loose on a story about a hired elf undergoing countless humiliations dealing with psychotic shoppers\, stranger-than-fiction Santas and over-sexed co-workers\, and you end up with a pretty dang Merry Christmas. Shilstone-Laurent plays the elf\, Crumpet\, and his son Tyler directs. \nThe second act of A Very Cherry Christmas features some of the area’s finest actors performing a number of classic (and not so classic) Christmas themed readings. Pieces from the works of Truman Capote and O’Henry provide the comfy sentimentality Christmas traditions call for\, but a reading about a doomed Christmas pageant from Rita Mae Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle goes straight for the funny bone. Poems of the season round out the evening. \n  \nTop (l to r):  Mark Shilstone-Laurent and Julie Hughett \nBottom:  MaryAnn Schaupp-Rousseau and John Newkirk.

SUMMARY:"Through Beginners Eyes" - Contemplative Photography
DESCRIPTION:Through Beginner’s Eyes\, an exhibit exploring contemplative photography\, opens Friday\, January 12th  with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. \nContemplative photography is a method of seeing and photographing the world in ways that reveal a richness and beauty that is often hidden from view. Instead of emphasizing subject matter or the technical aspects of photography\, contemplative camera-work accentuates images based upon fresh perception. At turns abstract and abstruse or descriptive and precise\, these images endeavor to describe the world in subtle and unexpected ways. Photographers featured in the exhibition range in style\, intention\, and time period\, but all of their works share an evocation of the poetic. \nPhotographers for the exhibit include Blaine Ellis\, Chester Ng\, William Giles\, Brad Cole\, Jeff Nixon\, Viktor Klinger\, Richard Murai\, and Roger Vail\, among others. The exhibit can be seen Wednesday through Friday from 11 to 4 p.m. or by appointment through February 17th\, 2018. \nImage (above): Blaine Ellis \n\nImage (below): Tower in Crete – William Giles

SUMMARY:Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks
DESCRIPTION:Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks is the touching and human story of a formidable retired woman\, Lily Harrison\, who hires an acerbic dance instructor\, Michael Minetti\, to give her private dance lessons —one per week for six weeks— in her gulf-front condo in St. Petersburg Beach\, Florida. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal their secrets\, fears\, and joys while dancing the Swing\, Tango\, Waltz\, Foxtrot\, Cha-Cha\, and Contemporary Dance. A comedy with music and dance\, the play also addresses the serious issues of ageism and intolerance. \nSince its Los Angeles premiere in 2001 and its Broadway opening in 2003\, Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks has been translated into 14 languages and has enjoyed tremendous success both nationally and internationally. Directed by Deanna Ross and starring talented local actors Rosemary Luke and Lewis Rhames\, this production marks the play’s Monterey Peninsula debut. \nTickets are $20\, available through brownpapertickets.com\, or call 831-644-9613 for reservations. \nPreview: Wednesday\, February 14th at 7:30PM – 2 for 1 ticket price. \nFriday and Saturday\, February 16 & 17\, 23 & 24\, and March 2 & 3 – Evening performances begin at 7:30PM. \nSunday\, February 18\, 25\, and March 4 – Matinee performances begin at 2:00PM. \n  \n
