Healdsburg's Weekend Planner for April 12-14

Plays opening and continuing, films doing the same, and athletes running around Lake Sonoma highlight the weekend

Tonight (Friday) is opening night for 8 p.m. at the Raven. No way to know for sure until we see it, but I suspect this is going to be very funny, and very popular. Shows same time on Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, for the next three weekends.

Also on stage is “Dial M for Murder” at the Camp Rose Theater, this weekend and next

Saturday long-distance runners and tri-athletes will converge at the Warm Springs Dam visitor’s center for the Lake Sonoma 50, an ultra-running event now in its sixth year. Start time is 6:30 am, end time 8:30 pm, which means the men and women running have only 14 hours to make the 50 mile course. More info on their website, or see Patch coverage of last year's race.

On Saturday evening from 4 to 7, Brooklyn-based artist Jane D`Arensbourg will be at the opening of her solo show “Sculpture and Lightening” at Gallery Lulo on Center St., at the northwest corner of Plaza St.

On Sunday, at 2 pm, the annual Healdsburg Community Band concert will be held at the Healdsburg Community Church on University St. Also playing with be the New Horizon’s Band, a seniors-only group of musicians headed by former Community Band leader Lew Sbrana. It’s free, and will be fun.

If it’s films you want, head to Sonoma for their 16th annual Sonoma International Film Festival. It started a couple days ago but you can catch the bulk of the movies over the next three days, see the complete schedule here.

Noted: Project Censored about the SSU journalism program, Cover Story about LP sleeve art, a music documentary called Unforgettable Fire that’s not about U2, but a U2 covers band; and the mini-UFO fest on Saturday, noon and 3 p.m.

Opening locally at the Raven Film Center you can find 42, the biopic about Jackie Robinson’s first couple years in Major League Baseball. It’s rated PG-13 and is probably a lesson worth relearning, or discovering. The films there are all continuing, including Evil Dead (rated R, in the Hollywood & Vine), Jurassic Park 3D (PG-13, also in H&V) and the PG animation The Croods.
