SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Shakespeare 2023 Season Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are now on sale for Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s 2023 season\, featuring The Book of Will and The Taming of the Shrew. Co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute. The season runs from July 13-August 27. \n \nThe Book of Will\, by Lauren Gunderson – Directed by Laura Gordon \nA love letter to William Shakespeare\, this moving and joyful comedy tells the story of the two actors\, friends of Shakespeare’s\, who worked to preserve his plays and legacy seven years after his death. This beat-the-clock race to collect all of Shakespeare’s plays into one book delights audiences with a tale full of color characters\, and provides a glimpse into a little known story about how his work survives and thrives to this day. SCS’s production of The Book of Will is part of a year-long celebration honoring the 400th anniversary of the printing of the First Folio and stars out-going Artistic Director Mike Ryan\, and in-coming Artistic Director Charles Pasternak. \nThe Taming of the Shrew\, by William Shakespeare – Directed by Robynn Rodriguez \nOne of Shakespeare’s most raucous comedies\, in The Taming of the Shrew characters struggle against the roles they have been prescribed by gender\, class\, or age. While the results of these struggles provide some of the most hilarious moments in the canon\, they also leave us with unsettling questions about the human cost of maintaining the status quo. Thorny\, funny\, and deeply human\, Kate and Petruchio are two of Shakespeare’s most fascinating characters. Out of place because of their honesty in a world of deception\, can these two broken people find happiness where they least expect it? \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dickens Universe: A Tale of Two Cities
DESCRIPTION:The Dickens Universe is a unique cultural event that brings together scholars\, teachers\, students\, and members of the general public for a week of stimulating discussion and festive social activity on the beautiful Santa Cruz campus of the University of California—all focused on one or two Victorian novels\, usually (but not always) one by Charles Dickens. \nIn 2023\, the Dickens Universe will feature A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. A historical novel set in London and Paris at the time of the French Revolution\, its plot involves many sensational and melodramatic elements: imprisonment in the Bastille and the bloody Reign of Terror; lost children and body doubles; heroism and sacrifice. \nYet contained within this plot are resonances that pull readers beyond England and France\, and beyond the temporal frames of one\, albeit momentous\, historical conflict. Comparison and doubling abound\, as the title’s two (European) cities multiply outward\, toward Bombay (now Mumbai)\, Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)\, Victoria (Australia)\, Santiago (Chile). Likewise\, the revolution in question is not limited to the Napoleonic Wars\, but manifold\, involving civil unrest and violent uprisings both domestic (the Chartist movement) and abroad\, from Jamaica to the US\, South Asia\, the Antipodes\, and beyond (as in the 1946 propaganda film A Tale of Two Cities about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). \nNow in its 42nd year of operation\, the Dickens Universe combines features of a scholarly conference\, a festival\, a book club\, and summer camp. Participants include people of all ages and walks of life—distinguished scholars\, graduate students\, undergraduates\, retirees\, young professionals\, high school teachers\, anyone who loves to read and who enjoys long Victorian novels. \n \nHere are some of the things that make the Universe such a special experience. \n\nThe college lifestyle: participants live on campus\, eat together in the student dining hall\, have time to meet and come to know each other in different ways.\nEveryone is reading the same book. We all have this one important thing in common.\nThe range of activities—formal lectures\, small discussion groups\, films\, daily Victorian teas\, performances\, and Victorian dancing.\nThe Universe offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction with friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting. Whether we’re returning to a Dickens novel that everyone knows and loves\, or branching out into a Victorian novel by another author who might be less familiar\, during the Universe we build a community out of our passion for reading\, talking with one another\, and bringing Victorian culture to life.\n\nThe Universe offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction with friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting.

Its research activities have been supported by extramural grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the U.S. Department of Education\, the California Council for the Humanities\, the California Arts Council\, the Exxon Education Foundation\, dues from member schools\, and private gifts. Activities for the general public are supported in part by contributions to a private\, non-profit organization\, the Friends of the Dickens Project.

SUMMARY:The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music
DESCRIPTION:The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music\, even at a seasoned 60 years old\, is all about the new—the here and now of contemporary works for orchestra. To quote Financial Times music critic Allan Ulrich\, “…in the surf mecca of Santa Cruz\, 75 miles south of San Francisco\, the Cabrillo Festival has made the contemporary repertoire sound urgent\, indispensable and even sexy.” \nThe 2023 season runs from July 30-August 13. Please visit https://cabrillomusic.org/ for more info. \nIn late July and early August each year\, audiences are joined by both preeminent and emerging composers\, spectacular guest artists\, and an orchestra of dedicated professional musicians from across the globe to give voice to works which are rarely more than a year or two old\, and sometimes still wet on the page. The opportunity for composers to work with musicians skilled and enthusiastic about bringing these new works to life\, in the beautiful\, coastal college-town of Santa Cruz\, California\, makes this an artistic paradise. With a professional training workshop for early career conductors and composers\, open rehearsals almost daily\, educational programming\, and much more\, the Cabrillo Festival has dozens of opportunities for meaningful engagement. \nIn 2017 the Festival embarked on a new era of artistic leadership with the appointment of Music Director and Conductor Cristian Macelaru. Past music directors include Marin Alsop (1992-2016\, now Music Director Laureate)\, John Adams (1991)\, Dennis Russel Davies (1974-1990)\, Aaron Copland (1978)\, Carlos Chavez (1970-1973)\, Gerhard Samuel (1963-1968). More information on the Festival’s history can be found here. \nThe 2023 Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music is co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute.
