 “The best Chilean singer-songwriter of his generation” – Joan Baez 

Nano Stern is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter with strong roots in the traditional songbook of South America. Praised by folk legend Joan Baez as “the best young Chilean songwriter of his generation,” Nano has created his own musical language – an utterly fresh, otherworldly sound that blends the youthful exuberance of folk and rock music mixed with years of classical and jazz training against the powerful force of traditional Chilean songs. What has emerged is a brilliantly layered confluence of Indigenous, African, European and North and South American musical influences that reverberate with a soulfulness and originality unlike any other South American artist performing today. This promises to be a special night of music as Nano presents his most current album Aún creo en la belleza (I Still Believe In Beauty).

"Stern's appearance produced the kind of lighting you could have experienced in the '60s when everything seemed possible and hope was in the air." — The New York Times 

"When you see him live, it's very easy to understand the reason for his dazzling career."

 It’s Love…But Not Quite 

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that is so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. And it almost doesn’t exist because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost. One clear, cold winter night, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, nine couples in Almost experience the various, unpredictable elements of love. That first spark, heartbreak, falling in love, breaking up, and the joys of discovering you are meant for each other - or perhaps not. Filled with comic

and poignant tales, Almost, Maine is a play about love and longing, friendship and isolation, melancholy and hope, and ultimately about our search for human connection.

 On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a quick-witted and stubborn young woman, has spent years caring for Robert, her unstable but brilliant father known as a mathematical genius at the University of Chicago.

Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problems of all: Can Catherine prove the proof's authorship?

 How Do You Live With Family That Drives You Crazy? 

 Ruth Zweigman is not a pleasant person to be around. And now that Ruth can’t take care of herself – she’s recovering from several surgeries due to diabetes - the question of who she’s going to live with is a big one. While Ruth’s daughter, Miranda, has done everything in her power to create a family completely different than the one she came from, the painful loss of her brother – and perhaps a brief lapse in judgment - compels her to invite her complicated mother to stay with her before her son’s bar mitzvah. As other needy family members show up in search of connection and second chances, Miranda’s already-strained relationship with her family is pulled to its breaking point. With all the kin in one place, will they all stay in one piece? A warm, heart-filled comedy about the scars of childhood and finding love, all grown up.

Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is primed to welcome world-famous singer Tito Merelli, known as Il Stupendo and the greatest tenor of his generation, to appear for one night only as the star of the opera. When Tito arrives late, however, and through a hilarious series of mishaps appears to have died, the employees’ frantic attempt to salvage the evening leads to disguises, love affairs, mistaken identities, and all of the comedic mayhem that playwright Ken Ludwig is famous for. Called “one of the classic comedies of the 20th century” by critics and audiences since its debut over 30 years ago, Lend Me A Tenor is a rollercoaster of fun that will leave you teary-eyed with laughter.

   These southern women do not want to bless your heart. 

Here's the thing about baby showers: No one actually wants to be there. But there are certain rituals we follow, for the sake of tradition and a gift registry. Nine women have gathered at Grace Driscoll's beautifully appointed home, fully expecting to go through the motions of social niceties. But an unforeseen event in Grace's life, and a few unexpected guests, send the party careening into uncharted territory. Simmering resentment, cutthroat professional conflict, fierce battles of will... these are 21st century Southern women, and they have no interest in blessing your heart.
