But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean.

The Music of Patsy Cline

Saturday, November 8, 2025  7:30pm

Enjoy a nostalgic trip back in time as Joyann Parker, backed by a seasoned band of musicians, beautifully weaves the stories of Patsy's life and career in and out of the music you know and love, including songs such as "Walking After Midnight," "Sweet Dreams," "Crazy" and more.

Vintage costumes and ambiance enhance Joyann's uncanny and authentic channeling of the classic vocals of the legendary Patsy Cline. This is a must-see show that has been selling out venues consistently since its inception in 2018.

"The Music of Patsy Cline" was selected as Best Tribute Act in the 2022 Midwest Country Music Awards.

”The versatile Minnesota vocalist not only recalls Cline vocally and visually but, like the best school teachers (she used to be one), she shares just enough backstories about Cline and her songs to be informative but not overwhelming…this is one of the best tribute shows in town, which, like Patsy's terrific country-jazz songs, are worth experiencing over and over again. Parker summons the requisite sadness and richness of Cline, who is No. 13 on Rolling Stone's new list of the 200 greatest singers of all time.” Jon Bream, Minnesota Star Tribune

Magic Carpet Ride

Saturday, February 14, 2026

7:30pm

Magic Carpet Ride is a musical journey through one of the most electrifying and impactful times America has ever seen.

The Performance:  Immerse your senses in an electrifying video show projection accompanying a live performance of songs by The Doors ("Light My Fire"), The Byrds ("Mr. Tambourine Man"), Iron Butterfly, ("In-a-Gadda-da-Vida"), Jefferson Airplane ("White Rabbit"), Procol Harum ("A Whiter Shade of Pale"), Cream ("Sunshine of Your Love"), The Zombies ("Time of the Season"), Steppenwolf ("Born to be Wild") and Janis Joplin. ("Piece of My Heart").

The Light Show:  In the late 60s and early 70s, our lighting designer, Nautilus Music Theater's Ben Krywosz, created, designed and operated shows for many national groups at Fillmore West and other Bay area venues in San Francisco, among the musical highlights, BLUE CHEER and IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY. He also provided lighting for productions of TOMMY and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.

The light show itself is a highlight of this experience, "conjuring up swiftly changing kaleidoscopic images that ebb and flow with the music"

Behind the Scenes:
Magic Carpet Ride was conceived by Gary Rue and created in collaboration with lighting designer Ben Krywosz to bring audiences back to the days when Bay area musicians were making an impact on the social fabric of our country.

The exacting musicianship of the band is supercharged by the light show itself, what critics have called ‘the 6th member of the ensemble’.

The Accidental Hero

Saturday, April 11, 2026  7:30pm

The Accidental Hero is a multi-media one-man show about a WWII American officer who miraculously liberates the Czech villages of his grandparents. It's a true story written and performed by his grandson, Patrick Dewane.

Patrick's grandfather refused to talk about his service in the war. When he died, his basement yielded a treasure trove of typewritten accounts, photos, and rare film footage. Dewane brings this archival material to glowing life as an enthralling, humorous and heartwarming tale of miraculous escapes and astonishing coincidences. Dewane takes on a dozen different roles as he powerfully recounts his grandfather's journey from Omaha Beach, the Battle of the Bulge, and the end of WWII. In the last week of the war, Konop's story turns away from a soldier's survival tale to something from mythology. He discovers his lost identity, embraced by the tribe he never knew. Like Luke Skywalker, Konop thought he was just fighting the Evil Empire, in this case the Nazis. But unlike Skywalker, this story is true. His was an epic homecoming. As he freed the Czechs, they liberated him.
