Get ready to party like it's 1925! Award-winning jazz/blues artist Roberta Donnay and the Prohibition Mob return to Sweetwater this Wednesday.
Roberta's interest in roots music started at a young age, studying jazz and blues, and led her to record with legendary jazz producer Orrin Keepnews, as well as tour 10+ years as a member of “Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks.” She has opened for, and performed with Dr. John, John Hammond, Dave Ellis, Bob Dorough, David Grisman, Huey Lewis, Christian McBride, Leon Russell, Joe Sample, David Sanborn, Booker T., and more.
The Prohibition Mob features Grammy-winning trombonist Mike Rinta, John Burr on piano, Scott Jensen on trumpet, Heshima Mark Williams on bass, Mark Lee on drums, and special guest Danny Caron on guitar

The Lark Theater is introducing SIMPLY SAID - a new spoken word series fashioned after NPR's "The Moth Radio Hour."
Get ready for an evening of laughter, tears, elation, and contemplation.
The SIMPLY SAID series is held every third Tuesday of the month. Each show features a curated lineup of experienced storytellers, blended with opportunities for audience members to put their name in “the hat” to tell their own story on the monthly theme. January’s theme is "Hot & Heavy."
How it Works:
Stories must be 5 minutes or less, spoken aloud (not read), just plain-spoken word about something you have experienced personally. This is spontaneous with no auditions or rehearsals. If you wish to tell a story, you’ll have an opportunity to put your name in a hat!

Marin Theatre Company presents Waste, a fascinating and topical political drama written by Harley Granville-Barker.
In this thriller, a politician’s illicit affair turns tragic. Rather than finding sympathy or outrage for his victim, the work cynically focuses instead on the politician and his colleagues, who scramble to salvage his reputation. British Theatre lauded a recent U.K. revival of Waste for its “crackling dialogue” and called it “Extraordinary."
The fresh take on this rarely seen century-old political play will see MTC's new Artistic Director Lance Gardner returning to the stage as the ambitious politician under fire. This gripping work is sure to have you on the edge of your seat.
