Join us for a lecture on George “Nash” Walker by Dr. Daniel Atkinson.

The lecture will focus on the first biography of George Walker, a uniquely Afro-American tale of innovation and triumph despite the odds; the story of an underdog with a bite!

The Rediscovery of George “Nash” Walker is the first biography dedicated to the life and cultural contributions of George Walker, an actor, writer, and producer who revolutionized Black American theatre in the early twentieth century. Drawing on archival resources, newspaper accounts, memoirs, oral histories, and writings by Walker himself, Daniel E. Atkinson traces Walker’s rise from a medicine show performer to a leading figure in American popular culture.

Dr. Atkinson is an independent scholar and the Assistant Director of the August Wilson estate. He earned his doctorate in ethnomusicology from the University of Washington, where he specialized in Afro-American music and culture.This lecture is funded by a grant from the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation Randolph Newman Cultural Enrichment Endowment

An unforgettable romance set against the sweeping tides of World War II.

Against the backdrop of the Pacific War of WWII, South Pacific blends high-stakes wartime romance with a poignant exploration of social prejudice.

When spirited Navy nurse, Nellie Forbush, falls in love with a sophisticated French planter, and a young Marine lieutenant finds himself captivated by an ethereal island girl, their relationships are tested by the prejudices and pressures of a world at war. What unfolds is a deeply moving story about love, courage, and the transformative power of understanding.

Featuring a soaring score by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, including classics like “Some Enchanted Evening” and “There Is Nothin’ Like a Dame,” South Pacific remains one of the most beloved musicals of all time.

Winner of the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the original Broadway production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto. It is the only musical production ever to have won all four Tony Awards for acting.

A beautiful collection of compositions reflecting subtle universes colorful and deep, where the Brazilian collective subconscious and jazz converge.

Benatar’s staggering vocals and take-no-prisoners attitude, along with Giraldo’s trailblazing artistry as a guitarist, producer, and songwriter forged the undeniable chemistry and unique sound that created eternal rock hits, including “We Belong,” “Invincible,” “Love Is a Battlefield,” “Promises In The Dark,” “We Live For Love,” “Heartbreaker,” and “Hell Is For Children."

High society meets high-flying chaos in this delightful drawing-room romp.

Misalliance is one of George Bernard Shaw’s most spirited and surprising comedies. Set in the drawing room of a prosperous English family on a seemingly ordinary afternoon, the tranquility is shattered when an airplane literally crashes into their greenhouse, introducing a bold, unconventional aviatrix into the midst of polite society.

As suitors circle, secrets surface, and romantic expectations unravel, Shaw turns the traditional courtship comedy on its head with sharp wit and deliciously tangled misunderstandings.

Beneath its farcical twists and sparkling dialogue, Misalliance offers lively debate alongside laugh-out-loud moments, making it as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. First performed in 1910 it has endured as a favorite among Shaw enthusiasts for its feminist themes and energetic social satire. The play reflects the early 20th century’s fascination with aviation, modern industry, and shifting social structures, capturing a world on the brink of transformation.

Sebastopol World Friends presents an authentic Ukrainian BBQ (shashlik) and specially brewed Ukrainian beers: “Ukrainian IPA” from Crooked Goat Brewing, and “Zelensky’s Orange Juice” from John Kreidler a special friend of SWF.

Proceeds support Sebastopol World Friends on-going efforts to fund renovation of a dormitory building in Chyhyryn, Ukraine (Sebastopol’s sister city) that will house hundreds of Internally Displaced People from areas of Ukraine who have been impacted by the war there.

Tickets are $75 and are all inclusive.

Tickets must be purchased in advance. This event will sell out, so purchase tickets soon! Slava Ukraini!
