Ain’t Too Proud is the Tony-winning, electrifying musical that follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Featuring their signature dance moves and unforgettable harmonies, this musical takes audiences behind the music: how the group formed, the unprecedented chart-topping success they achieved (42 Top Ten hits, 14 #1 singles), and the personal and political tensions that threatened their unity during a turbulent era in America.
This thrilling story of brotherhood, family loyalty and betrayal is set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more, with a book by award-winning playwright Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew, Paradise Blue) adapted from Williams’s 1988 memoir. The New York Times praised the show as, “Pretty close to perfect”, with The Washington Post proclaiming it was “Dazzling and Electrifying.”
Ain’t Too Proud is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
Music Theatre International gives Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations a PG13 rating. This production is a gritty, authentic look at the history of The Temptations. Parental discretion is advised.

Get out and enjoy our beautiful wetlands! Our 2nd and 4th Saturday Bird and Nature walks, led by PWA Docents, occur monthly from October to June from 9 am to 11 am.
During the winter months, after the rains have returned, at least 20 species of birds are common in the Central Pond in Shollenberger Park. Egrets, herons, shorebirds, and raptors are all present. You may even see a bald eagle!
Ellis Creek has water most of the year so your chances are good there if the rain has been infrequent in Shollenberger. In the Spring, starting around mid-April watch Canada Goose and duck hatchlings swimming with their parents. A treat for the whole family!
Both walks are about 1 mile but can be longer on request. You can continue the full loop trail(s) to extend your walk several miles after the tour.
Bring binoculars, mask, water, hat, sunscreen, and appropriate layered clothing for changing weather since start time can be foggy and cold but end up warming up quickly.
Bring the Petaluma Wetlands Field Guide written by PWA members Marian Parker and John Shribbs if you have it. You can order it through the website, below.
Meet at main entrance near parking lot. In the event of rain, nearby fires, or dangerous air quality, scheduled walks will be cancelled.
Petaluma Wetlands Alliance, is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to Stewardship and Education of our Public Wetlands.

Stop by the East Wing of the Robert Ferguson Observatory for free Solar Observing. Offered on the same day as our Public Star Party, guests can visit during the day for an inside look at the observatory and safely view the Sun through three specialized filters, each revealing a different layer of solar activity.
Our neutral-density filter highlights dark sunspots on the photosphere, the hydrogen-alpha filter unveils glowing prominences and solar flares, and the calcium-K filter reveals magnetic activity and bright regions in the lower chromosphere.
Our volunteers will guide you through each view and share insights into solar science, space weather, and radio astronomy. This free, family-friendly event offers a rare opportunity to explore the dynamic face of our nearest star. Telescope viewing can be difficult for children under 4, though younger visitors can still enjoy safe solar-themed activities and demonstrations.
This is a free event, but donations and pre-registration via SimpleTix is appreciated.
