Animaniacs in Concert
Thu Oct 5 | 10:30AM
Known for topical and multilayered humor that appeals to all ages, the Animaniacs TV series was an instant classic when it debuted in the 1990s. Now, the interactive stage production Animaniacs: In Concert stars the original Emmy-winning composer, Randy Rogel, on piano and actors Rob Paulsen (the Emmy-winning voice of Pinky and Yakko on Animaniacs) and Maurice LaMarche (The Brain), performing tunes and sharing fascinating and hilarious behind-the-scenes tales of how the characters, stories and songs were developed. Video clips from the series accompany this rollicking ride through the creative process.

Sammy Miller and The Congregation
Fri Apr 19 | 10:30AM
With a witty and theatrical approach that has drawn comparisons to Ben Folds and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Sammy Miller and The Congregation are “on a mission to put the generosity back into jazz and bring art back to the people.” Led by Grammy-nominated drummer Miller, the seven-piece group is a community of adventurous and charismatic musicians who are conservatory-trained but have not lost their childlike wonder and awe for playing music. Since its inception, the Congregation has played nonstop around the world, including Lincoln Center, the White House and the Newport and Monterey jazz festivals.
