Youth Theater and Tower Thunder Set the Stage in Healdsburg

A weekend of unusual art performances makes even a "shoulder season" weekend in Healdsburg worth your while.

 

This Friday, Oct. 5, is the first day of the bi-annual The Healdsburg School Flea Market, always a good place to find cool stuff at a fair price. Starts at 7 a.m. and continues till 3 p.m. at 33 Healdsburg Ave., both Friday and Saturday.

The Drama Department at Healdsburg High School presents  "The Suessification of a Midsummer Night's Dream" this Friday and Saturday nights.  The actors, the costumes, and the sets are sure to be enjoyable to all (especially parents). It's at Frost Hall; enjoy it and support our local youth when you do. Ther's a 8:15 p.m. curtain time at Healdsburg High School.

Guess what? It's not the only local play on the boards tonight. You can also see the new H-Town Youth Theater presentation of "," a charming tale that delights audiences with its positive themes and Broadway style songs (it says here). Showtime is 7 p.m. at Hope Chapel, 321 East St.

Also Friday, up the road toward Geyserville, Francis Coppola Winery presents Dancing Under the Stars from 6 p.m. with Lava (my guess is they do hot rock). There's a $20 ticket but it's a lively evening of wine, food and Latin dancing beneath the stars in the outdoor performance Pavilion.

Saturday brings us the Healdsburg Certified Farmers' Saturday Market, from 9 a.m. to noon in the parking lot at North and Vine. These run until mid-November, but this weekend it's all fresh.

At 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, gather in Geyserville for the shuttle to Oliver Ranch to the Ann Hamilton Tower. There you can witness Tower Thunder, a commissioned composition by artist-in-residence Tony Zilincik, The artist, the Tower Thunder Ensemble and Healdsburg High School Concert Band Students will perform in the Tower itself at this unusal, no-cars location.

There is limited seating available at this invitation-only art ranch; tickets if still available are $100, to benefit music in the Healdsburg Public Schools through the Healdsburg Education Foundation. Tickets available online here.

Although I received your invitation notice in the morning I was unable to attend because of plannedRead More activities. However, I think it's a good idea for you to do and thanks for initiative. The Patch could be a good idea however, for me, in addition to local community events and activities the articles have to offer objectivity. If you have a political and/or ideological scant I would discontinue to be a reader and thus not a contributor or letter writer. I think open discussion is good and that conflict is good as it could be about positive change however, I have many too many activities to occupy my time. 1. My question to you is as the editor what is your vision for Patch and at this point what is your plan to accomplish that vision. Societies large and small are looking for people with vision and mission. I am not suggesting you write your vision because the readership will see it soon enough. 2.What is Patch really? 3. What is the criteria to inspire you to write an editorial? 4. What makes Patch different from the other online newspapers? Christian, I would suggest that you encourage discourse but set up a few basic ground rules. I prefer that all communication be courteous and civil but being comfortably edgy is OK. You should reserve to right to pull any vindictive commentary/communication. How about a section or column with interviews with people who are doing interesting things outside the realm of Healdsburg events. Good luck!

A. Did not know about your "event" B. This article is more about the one person that didRead More show up - good advertising.....? C. Agree, news comes in very late and an editor needs to be on TOP of what's going on in this town ... everything from school events to Garden Club happenings. D. Mike McGuire typically posts after an event / or during -= around Sonoma Co. with pictures ... this is not so bad because it is usually a specific group he is working with, however, I think he also does a good job of "...hope to see you there..." - I don't see that on the Patch any longer. E. When questions are asked like (paraphrase): "Wow, breezy out there. Anyone see any trees down?" It is rather like the Patch editor has not been outside looking about - why not comment on a few things and then ask the readers. F. Most of the questions have been boring... but, if reporting is done first, then people would likely be more inclined to even open an article and take a peek. My 6 cents. Z

I find this often with the people over at the Healdsburg patch. Yes, you are right Christian we haveRead More plenty of sandwich places but come on! its our job as locals to be supportive of new business in healdsburg. They're investing in our tiny closknit town. Togos might be a franchise but what about that place called partake? Just another wine tasting room. I don't see an article about them listing all the other random tasting rooms it's competing with. I don't worry The Healdsburg patch has such little following in town anyway, they should just stick to recycling old articles from the Press Democrat. Thank you Healdsburg Patch for wasting our time. Yours truly the healdsburg local

Marilyn, read the article again...the article clearly states the business is not needed. So please,Read More lighten up, reread the article and form a clear argument for why you are upset. This article was well researched and simply showed there is no need for yet another sandwich shop.

Christian, you were RUDE. Is that the way to welcome a new business to Healdsburg? You tell us toRead More lighten up???
