BY LAURA NEWELL

FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

Atap here, a stomp thereand a broom swish over-there these are the

rhythmic sounds of the nation-ally touring production,STOMP.

STOMP rehearsal directorand performer Andres Fernan-dez said the show is simply anexploration of sound.

We make music with everyday sounds brooms,kitchenware and otherobjects, Fernandez said.

The show was originally cre-ated in 1991 in Brighton, UK byLuke Cresswell and SteveMcNicholas. In 1995, the UStour began.

Luke and Steve were streetperformers and self-taught per-cussionists in England andwanted to bring their rhythm tothe stage, Fernandez said. Itwas a great idea and has lastedforever because everyone canrelate to it. All ages, from 2 to 90years old, can relate. Its theater,but not really theater. The showis infectious. People leave withtheir toes tapping.

Fernandez said the idea ofSTOMP is everywhere. Whether someone is tappingtheir thumbs on a steering

wheel while listenting to theradio, or tapping a spoon on amug, everything has a rhythm.

The original cast in 1991 hadeight people in the perform-ance. Today there are fourcompanies throughout theworld with 12 members, eight

onstage performers and fourextra members.

The behind-the-scenes crewincludes a sound specialist,electrician, lighting specialist,

prop specialist, carpenter forstage props, a company man-ager and a merchandise spe-cialist.

Originally from Hawaii, Fer-nandez has been singing anddancing with his older brother,Johnny, while touring the

Hawaiian Islands since 1985.Fernandez has been touring

with STOMP for 14 years. Hewas inspired to join after seeingthem perform in 1996 in

Hawaii. He said throughout the years with the show, he hasperformed all eight roles as acast member and has also tak-en on the role of rehearsaldirector for the US tour toensure everything is keptorganized while traveling.

Its so much fun and we getto be ourselves on stage, hesaid. The show is never thesame because there is so muchroom for improv or acting.

Also, with new casts, its alwayschanging.

Fernandez said it takes newcast members a few months toget the music and feel ofSTOMP perfected.

We are making our ownmusic on stage, so we all have

our own counts we have to feel.So with one wrong count assomeone is learning, it canthrow off the cast. But thats justthe excitement of STOMP.

He said the group alsoupdates and changes perform-ances every year to keep theshow fresh.

Its not the same show everytime, he said. Its not yournormal theater. People canreally relate to it and feel likethey can do it.

Fernandez said being a partof the US tour is exciting, but isa different lifestyle for families.

Ive been touring and doingthis lifestyle for a while, hesaid. In the beginning it was sogreat and exciting to be touringon the road, but now its a job. I

love it, but it gets hard to leavemy wife and kids. But its theperforming lifestyle.

The cast of 12 travels by busacross the country togetherwhile the crew travels separate-ly.

Three Grammy-winning actscoming to townBY DON CHADDOCK


Performers such asLos Lobos and Ron-nie Milsap arent nec-

essarily names associat-ed with the area, but thisyears Folsom Live music

festival is about tochange that perception.

Those acts, as well at 27others, are taking thespotlight Sept. 23-24 inFolsoms two-day musicfest. Organizers areexpecting up to 8,000people to attend over thetwo days.

Pat Benatar was origi-nally scheduled to per-form the first night, butan injury has forced herto cancel most of her2011 tour dates, accord-ing to organizers.

The announcementcame right before ourpress deadline, so forupdated information,check our website at fol-somtelegraph.com or theevent website at folsom-live.com. The shedule

change came too late toreplace her image on ourcover.

Milsap recentlyreleased a new album,Country Again, in

which he returns to hiscountry roots. The singerhas had 40 No. 1 hits andsold more than 35 millionrecords. To his credit healso has seven Grammy

Awards, four Academy ofCountry Music Awardsand eight Music Associa-tion Awards.

I came to town to singcountry music, Milsap

said in a statement. And when left to my owndevices, around thehouse, its what I love tosing. It all dates back tomy roots in North Caroli-

na, and its in my blood. Ive been very fortu-nate to have had a lot ofsuccessful records. Now its time to makesome more.

Born in the mountaintown of Robbinsville, NC,Milsap was raised by hisbluegrass-loving fatherand his grandparents inthe unincorporatedMeadow Branch com-munity in western NorthCarolina. Each weekend,the struggling familygathered around a bat-tery-powered radio andtuned in to the Grand

Ole Opry on WSM, lis-tening to Roy Acuff,Ernest Tubb and othergreats. He attended aschool for the blind inRaleigh, emerging withenhanced musicalknowledge and a love ofrock, pop and other non- Appalachian forms ofmusic, he said.

Milsap performs 8:45-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept.24.

The third headliner isthree-time Grammy win-ning Los Lobos, probablybest known for their hitLa Bamba, used in the1987 hit film of the samename starring Lou Dia-mond Phillips as RitchieValens.

Los Lobos bandmatesare Louie Perez on

drums, guitars, percus-sion, vocals; Steve Berlinon saxophone, percus-sion, flute, midsax, har-monica, melodica; CesarRosas on vocals, guitar,

A rare example oflongevity in the musicworld, Los Lobos lineuphas remained uninter-rupted since 1984, whensaxophonist/keyboardistSteve Berlin joined origi-nal members Prez,Hidalgo, Rosas andLozano, each of whom

had been there since thebeginning in 1973.

More than threedecades have passed sinceLos Lobos released theirfirst album, Just AnotherBand from East L.A.

Los Lobos performs 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept.24.

This is the first year

Folsom Live has garnerednational acts.

The ultimate goal forFolsom Live is to developa music festival that willbe an economic driver

and showcase for thecity, said Mary AnnMcAlea, with the FolsomTourism Bureau andChamber of Commerce.We are a good host cityfor events and people arealways looking for thingsto do.

She said getting head-liners this year was a nat-ural evolution for theevent.

In the growth strategy(for Folsom Live), theopportunity to bringheadliners would growthe event, she said. Fol-som Live has always beenabout music.

She said reaction hasbeen positive regardingthe acts.

I think it tells people

there is a commitment togrowing the event,McAlea said. Gettingpeople (to attend) fromthe region is huge. If theyjust drive by us on High- way 50, they dont knowwhat we have to offer.

Some changes to the

layout are also in store.The main stage, usuallylocated at the railroadturntable, will be movedto the Traders Lane park-ing lot.

Marcia Durst, anotherof the events organizers,said shes looking forwardto the expanded event.

Theres something for

everybody, Durst said. Ithink everybody hasrocked out to PatBenatar.

Dianne Rogers, withthe chamber of com-merce, said Folsom Liveis one of the organiza-tions biggest events.

Folsom Live and theFolsom Pro Rodeo arethe two biggest fundrais-ers of the year, Rogerssaid.

In all, 30 bands arescheduled to perform on10 stages over the two-night event.

Two-day event features something for everyone8 OCTOBER 2011 FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

BY ERIC LAUGHLIN


The music lineup for Folsom Live extends wellbeyond Grammy-winning artists like RonnieMilsap and Los Lobos. There are dozens of oth-

ers set to grace the stage that carry their own style andfollowing.

If youve followed the visiting acts over the years atFolsoms Powerhouse, youve likely heard of a popular80s band by the name of Tainted Love. The bandsroots are in the San Francisco Bay Area, but their vibefrom that ever-so-popular decade has paved the wayfor them to tour not only the nation, but the rest of theworld. They are set to grace the Powerhouse Pub Stage

at 8:35 p.m. on Saturday night of the event.Theyre more about the music than the gimmicks,

said Tainted Love booking agent Daniel Swan. Theyproduce a very high energy show that has becomepopular, especially among young people.

Another popular Northern California band set to playat the event is Lydia Pense and Cold Blood. Pense,whos built a legendary following in her 40-plus years asa singer, has been the consistant centerpart to a bandthats played at San Franciscos Fillmore more than anyact other than the Grateful Dead.

She really is one of the greatest female blues singers

Manderes is said to be alocal favorite by manycommunity members

because of its flavorful beer,colorful food plates and atten-tive service.

Meet the Owner Who isBrent Whited?

Just a person with a dreamto get into the business, Whit-ed said. Thats the number

one thing.Formerly the senior sales

manager for all of the La-Z-Boys in Northern California, Whited took a chance andstepped out of the corporateworld. After much research, hefound the Sacramento arealacking in gastropubs, a type ofbeer bar serving high-end beerand food.

Manderes more than fills thebill with more than 100 vari-

eties of beer, some 20 on tapand many more in bottles, Whited said. Selections varyover time for a wide spectrumof choices. An extensive winelist offers both domestic andimported selections.

Weve integrated a little bitof an Asian touch into a lot ofour different sauces but were still an American farerestaurant, with just that little

bit of a twist, Whited said.After starting small at 402 E.Bidwell, the restaurant movedthree years later to 1004 E. Bid- well St., Suite 600, Folsom,about six blocks down from theoriginal site. The new siteopened April 1.

It was time for us to make amove and enhance what we were trying to accomplish,Whited said. Its a better loca-tion, better facility.

Signature foodIt was difficult for Whited to

choose a signature dish. What aperson chooses from the menudepends on their taste buds,their mood and, particularly,he said, on how hungry theyare at the time.

Some of the most popular

are Old Rasputin Ribs, KoreanBarbecue Beef and four differ-ent types of risotto.

He said that the Steak Saladwas one of the top sellers.

Especially when people arelooking for something a littlebit lighter, Whited said.

Signature drinkWith so many choices, Whit-

ed said it is also difficult tochoose just one signature

drink.The menu item it will go

with, as well as the personstaste, will determine the appro-priate drink, he said.

(With the Steak Salad) I would probably go with alighter beer, lets say an Alla-gash Curieux, Whited said.

Curieux means curious inFrench. It is an American beer,a Belgian triple-aged in JimBeam barrels.

Whited said another popularchoice is the Grimbergen, aBelgian dubbel.

One of the many joysof living near theSierra Nevada

foothills is the proximityto numerous wine grow-ing regions. Many areclose enough that in anhours drive or less, you

can find yourself in a pic-turesque setting tastingsome terrific wines. Thebest part is the winesawaiting your palate areof the caliber of thosefound in Napa and Sono-ma, just without thecrowds, traffic congestionand in most cases, costlytasting fees.

Such is the case with

Grace Patriot Wines situ-ated along Carson Roadin eastern Placerville. As aformer Apple Hill resi-dent, I used to travel Car-son Road frequently andfor as long as I canremember the site whichhouses the winery, thehistoric Irving Ranch, sat

dormant like the nearbyapple trees in the dead of

winter. The red barn andthe little white house vis-ible from the road werethe only signs that lifeonce flourished there.

Then one day, on arecent excursion to buyfarm fresh produce, mytravels took me on Car-son Roads familiar dog

leg curve past the prop-erty. My neck craned in adouble-take that revealeda revived barn with itsnew coat of red paint andthe small house wasonce again a home fromrenovations and TLC.The ranch which wasestablished in 1890 had

been lovingly restored toits glory as a thriving

winery.Upon my visit there I

learned the Grace familyis behind the rejuvena-tion of the property. Thevintner, Steven Grace, isthe third great grandsonof Lewis Grace whofought as a Patriot in theRevolutionary War. In

honor of the patriarch,the label proudly bearshis name. Stevens son,

Tyler, who holds degreesin biology and enologyand viticulture, serves as

and notes of tropicalfruit and pear.

The Pinot Gris earned aDouble Gold and Best ofClass at the 2011 El Dora-

BY EILEEN WILSON


From frenetic fingering, tothe sweet sounds of a wed-ding processional, Daniel

Roest makes his guitars sing.Classical guitar is like lifes

blood to Roest (pronouncedroost), who has been playinghis favorite instrument fordecades.

I got in to guitar lessons at

age 6, he said. When I wasage 11, I saw classical Spanishguitarist Andres Segovia, and Icouldnt imagine any othermajor in college.

Armed with three degrees inmusic, including a Mastersdegree in Music Performancefrom San Jose State University,Roest has performed profes-sionally at hundreds of events.

It stands to reason, then, thathe would lead the South Bay

Guitar Society in San Jose, andsince 2008, the SacramentoGuitar Society.

Music lovers demand forclassical guitar is high, as evi-denced by an almost sold outOct. 1 performance that helpskick off the new season atThree Stages.

This is the first time thatweve put together a six-showseries of classical guitar con-certs, Roest said.

And the first performer, SanFrancisco guitarist Jon Mendle,is the perfect pick to give theseries its start.

This is our first full concertseason of ticketed concerts,Roest said. Our Three Stagesperformances will featureartists from all over the world,including Mexico, the Ukraine,and the U.S. Mendle is a mem-ber of the San Francisco Guitar

Quartet, one of the mostacclaimed guitar quartets inthe world. These are high qual-ity performers people whoteach at conservatories, peoplewho write books about music,people who are composers.

John Mendle is a big name inthe classical guitar world, and

he has toured with Yo-Yo Maand the Silk Road Ensemble.He has also released an albumof solo guitar music, LInfi-dele. Yo-Yo Ma calls Mendle asuperb musician who playswith a blissful touch.

Its bliss that concert atten-dees are sure to expect andreceive at each of the six con-certs, which culminates in June2012 with William Kanengiser,founder and current member

of the Grammy-winning LosAngeles Guitar Quartet.But gathering the worlds

most famous classical gui-tarists isnt the only goal Roesthas for the Guitar Society.Offering a one-stop cyberspaceshop a website where guitarenthusiasts or musicians, or

those who are looking formusical events can findlocal performances, musicteachers, and learn about whats going on in NorthernCalifornia when it comes toguitars, is key for the society.

Our goal is to be a self-sus-taining guitar society that fully

serves the Sacramento regionand that networks with guitarsocieties throughout the coun-try. Since 2008 we havequadrupled our membership,Roest said. Were just uppingthe energy of classical guitar on the most popular instru-ment in the world.

Events like monthly meet-ings, open mic nights, and FirstFriday mini concerts at areacoffee shops and other venues

serve as treats to classical gui-tar lovers, and an introductionto those who are new to themusical style.

Roest enjoys performing as well, and plays at weddings,private events, and at venueslike the Lick Observatory in theBay Area.

When Roest isnt busy per-forming, or working on thesocietys website, he teachesfull time at a studio in his Fol-som home. Surrounded byspeakers, guitars, a mixingboard, and thousands of CDs, which range from his ownmusic, students performanc-es, and favorite guitarists, Roestknows that instilling the love ofguitar is one of the mostimportant things he can do to

foster the future of music.Kids can begin playingtunes for their families afterthree months of lessons, andIve had some students work-ing with me for almost adecade. Its very rewarding forme to be able to teach studentsat higher levels, Roest said.

organization recognizesthe work you do is veryexciting, Sherman said.It is a very competitivefield so to be recognizedlike this is very rewarding.

Whats next for EDMT?

Weve announced our2011-12 season andproud it will be per-formed at Three Stages inFolsom, Sherman said.We think we have a verystrong season. We recent-ly cast Beauty and TheBeast and some of thosewho were nominated arecast in this production. We have two casts per-

forming the show.Tickets for the new sea-son are available at three-stages.net.

Allen Schmeltz, withSutter Street Theatre, saidthey were thrilled to hearthe news.

I think its great. Wevemanaged for the last threeyears to be in the top three(locally), he said. Two

years ago, we were thehighest in the whole areafor nominations. We arejust delighted to be able toget that recognition fromSARTA and the Elly group.

The theaters show

Dorothy Meets Alice orThe Wizard of Wonder-land took the mostnominations at 11. TheTelegraph reviewed theplay in the May 25 edi-tion, giving it four-and-a-half out of five stars.

We got quite a fewawards for Dorothy Meets Alice, Schmeltz said.Whats gratifying about

that is there are quite a fewyoung people and its niceto see them get the recog-nition for the shows.

Mike Jimena had thehighest number of nomi-nations. He received sixin a variety of areas fromacting to direction tolighting and design.

Chris Celestin receivedtwo supporting actor

nominations.Practically the entire

cast of Emperors NewClothes were nominat-ed, he said.

Adventures of Pinocchio.I have (insight)because I used to be a judge for the Ellys,Deanne Eldridge said. Ifyoure not involved in thetheater community, (a lotof people) dont knowwhat (the awards) are. Alot of theaters dont sub-mit anymore because itcosts money to submit

your work.She said while the gen-

eral public may not know what the awards mean,being nominated or win-ning generates interest.

It gives you publicity

and advertising value tosay youve been nominat-ed or have won anaward, she said. As atheater teacher, its impor-tant to me. Since Ive beensubmitting shows, everyone Ive submitted withmy students in it, theyvebeen nominated.

She said recognition isalways welcome for those

in the performing arts.People in the theaterand arts have fragile egosand anytime we can getrecognition, it makes usfeel like, OK, were doingpretty well, she said.For my students, I wantthem to know to be grate-ful and not let it go totheir heads. I am thankfulfor the fact that someone

BY ERIC LAUGHLIN


Folsoms newest and largesthub for shopping, diningand entertainment is con-

tinuing to draw big name ten-

ants as others prepare forgrand openings in the comingmonths.

In recent years, the Palladioat Broadstone has featuredonly a large cinema complexand a few restaurants. Butdevelopers said leasingprogress has intensified andpublic traffic is expected toincrease with the late Octoberopening of the popular upscale

grocery chain Whole Foods.Brian Spickard spoke onbehalf of Broadstone LandLLC, developer of Palladio andalso the Broadstone Market-place.

There are certainly many adeals in the making and a couplemore phases available, he said.

The Palladio 16 theatre hasbeen up and running since2009 and features all-stadiumluxury seating. Additionally, itsthe largest solar-poweredmovie theater in the world,

with rooftop panels coveringabout 50 percent of its electri-cal costs. Also open these daysare restaurants Johnny Rocketsand Blue Nami, and yogurtshop Pink Berry.

Spickard said shopping mer-chants that have inked deals tojoin the center include Sports Authority, H & M, VictoriasSecret, Ann Taylor Loft andExpress. Restaurants set to

open their doors includeChicago Fire Pizza, Chop SteakSeafood and Bar, Freebirds World Burrito and countrysinger Toby Keiths new diningand entertainment conceptknown as Toby Keiths I LoveThis Bar & Grill.

Keiths other restaurants

have opened in Las Vegas,Oklahoma City, and Chicago,among others, and feature bigname music acts that includeperiodic visits by Keith himself.The restaurant also features a

large menu and happy hourspecials, in addition to footballparties on Sundays.

Chop Steak is a branch offSacramentos award-winningupscale restaurant on 11th andL streets in Midtown. Therestaurant prides itself on freshseafood and the beef is all ofthe corn-fed and dry-aged vari-ety.

Chop Steak restaurant part-

ner Geoff Flynn said hes excit-ed to be a part of the Palladio.That center is absolutely

first rate, he said. Its definite-ly the future of malls in thiscountry and were happy be inthere.

Flynn added that the restau-rant is currently finishing up its

permit process and hopes toopen by the end of the year orearly next.

Dave Corkill serves as presi-dent of Cinema West, whichoperates the Palladio 16. He

said more businesses in thecenter will likely mean morebusiness for the theater com-plex.

Business has been verygood and we expect it to get alot better, he said. Its appar-ent that every time a newneighbor moves in, we helpeach other.

What makes the Palladiounique from other centers for

shopping and dining it itsauthentic Italian styling thatincludes arcaded sidewalksand plazas, all lit up by hand-crafted streetlights.

And more style points go tothe Theatre District for its 1,000square feet of glass-surfacedred carpet. The sparking glass

provides a unique vibe formoviegoers looking to experi-ence the perks of a real, Holly-wood-style premiere.

Another new concept at thePalladio is having a medical

complex nearby. Kaiser Perma-nente opened a surgery com-plex near the center in 2008and has plans for a 224-bed,450,000 square foot hospital.Kaiser officials have said thatfacility is expected to open inabout eight to 10 years.

Parking at the Palladio willalso be a cinch for most, withthe centers stylist two-storystructure near Iron Point Road.

It features 600 well-lit spaces. A four-story office building will also operate within thecenter. But Spickard said the80,000 square-foot facility is allbooked up by future tenants.

For haunts and howls,Folsom and El Dora-do Hills have you

covered.Town Center in El

Dorado Hills will onceagain scare and delightwith their second Haunt-ed House.

Over 2,500 peoplecame to the hauntedhouse last year in the 11days it was open, saidJamie McDaniels, TownCenters senior marketingdirector.

This year, the HauntedHouse will expand to 13days and will be open for2 hours on Halloweenevening, to spook thosewho dare.

Though housed in the

vacant New Orleans build-ing, the theme will be anOld West ghost town.

Were sticking with thehistory of the area, said Alisa Smith, a volunteer with Hands4Hope, thenon-profit organizationthat will receive proceedsfrom the event.

The 2,600 square feet ofhaunted house, includinga crumbling mine shaft,cobwebs and creepiness,couldnt happen withoutthe support of the volun-teers, organizers said.

From young teens toadults, actors and ghoul-ish characters through-out the area flock to thenightly event with haunt-ing on their minds.

We have volunteers

from Ponderosa HighSchool, Oak Ridge High,Vista del Lago and FolsomHigh, said Jennifer Bas-sett, founder and presi-dent of Hands4Hope.

While teens and adultsshould be afraid, theHaunted House might bea tad too frightening forthe younger set.

The recommendedage ... is 10, Bassett said.Parents should definite-ly accompany kids whoare younger than that.

But never fear eventorganizers have invited aspecial fairy who comesthrough and stops theaction, periodically, andescorts the scared-sillyoutside.

All the spooks areturned off, and the fairy walks the younger onesthrough, Smith said.We even had adults usethe fairy last year.

Volunteers with

Hands4Hope are excitedabout the turnout last year, and hope to raise$30,000 from the event toassist the youth-drivenoutreach organizationbased in El Dorado Hills.The almost three-year-old organization, which isled by a youth advisorycouncil, has 340 youthvolunteers who learnwhile doing, whether its

serving homeless and lowincome families, workingwith foster youth, puttingtogether soldier packets,or helping the communi-ty and beyond in otherways.

In addition to theHaunted House, TownCenter will host Spook-tacular on Halloweenevening from 5:30 to 7:30

p.m. an event thatincludes a costumeparade and contest andtrick or treat with thecenters retailers.

For more information,visit eldoradohillstowncenter.com.

For an event thats not

so scary, Halloweenenthusiasts can checkout Night of 1,000 Pump-kins on Folsoms historicSutter Street.

On Oct. 28, the streetwill burn bright with the

flame and shadow of1,000 jack o lanternsadorning sidewalks,doorways, and every pos-sible nook and cranny.

Schools get involved,and the community andmerchants all cometogether to bring thepumpkins up and downSutter Street, saidStephanie Rodgers, Fol-soms Historic District

Association director.The merchants will beopen and handing outcandy, and there will bean outdoor movie screenfeaturing family-friendlyHalloween movies.

In its third year,Rodgers loves that theevent is a great opportu-nity to bring the commu-nity together, and draw

people to Folsom toappreciate Sutter Streetshistoric atmosphere.

Volunteers like JohnGladding, who hashelped coordinate theevent each year, haveassured the free event is agreat success.

If daytime fall fun ispreferred, Sutter StreetsFallfest Oct. 29 offersfamily friendly fun andwill include vendors, arts

Vendor booths willalternate with artists pre-sentations, and Shades ofPink Floyd band willentertain with live music.Sacramentos DJ Rigatonywill feature music of the1970s and 1980s from 3 to

6 p.m.The El Dorado Hills

Library will also attendproviding free art andcraft activities for kids.

Were thrilled to par-ticipate, said CarolynBrooks, the librarysbranch manager.

Food vendors willtempt the taste andartists will lead the show.

Mary Donnelly, ownerof Our House Gallery ofEl Dorado Hills, volun-teered to serve as a liai-son between the artistsand the event and Lor-raine King of the gallerycontacted artists, keptlists and helped monitorthe art.

Donnelly discovered

local artist James Lane asa result of the SecondSaturday event in Julyand his work will be fea-tured at the gallery.

Lane grew up in Liv-ingston in Merced Coun-ty and travels the world inhis job as an instructionalengineer doing corporatetraining. He now lives inCitrus Heights.

Ive been painting anddrawing all my life, but(in 2002) my father diedand my son was bornaround the same time,Lane said. That put a

shock in me and I think agood shock in the sensethat I was wondering what should I be doingreally with my life and with the talents that Ihave.

Lane said he paints inoils, except when he trav-els. Then he uses water-color as a more practicalmedium.

What Im trying to saywith my art work is thatthere are very interestingplaces out there in the world, Lane said. Imtrying to be there andcapture whats happen-ing and hopefully thatwill inspire people to look

up those places and trav-el to those places.

Somerset residentJudith Perry is also show-ing her work at Second

Saturday. She has beenpainting all her adult life,but religiously over thepast six years.

There should be somegreat art work available(at Second Saturday),Perry said. I know that,myself, Ive reduced myprices significantlybecause of the economy,so there should be somereally good bargains outthere.

Perrys painting RioChama OKeefe Coun-try has been acceptedinto the KVIE art auctionfor public television.

Donnelly said that artis an appreciation,

understanding and aoneness with life.

Appreciating art is oneof the biggest things thatanybody can do, she

said. It takes up no spaceand needs no dusting.The Grace Foundation

of Northern Californiawill be the featured non-profit organization at theevent. The foundationbegan around 2002 withequine rescue and now isinvolved with the rescueof many other animals.

Sherri Britton, withGrace Foundation, said

that Second Saturday willhelp promote their causeand get information outto the community. A per-centage of the proceedsof sales at the event willgo to help the animals.

In 2012, Second Satur-day Art Walks are expect-ed to continue from Maythrough October.

Basically, we wantedto find a way of givingback to the community,said Giovanni.

Our cast is so small, 20of us, we just becomefamily, Fernandez said.

He said the family also

has funny moments onstage that make their jobthat much more interest-ing.

Over a period of one week, the cast will gothrough many instru-ments, including 30brooms, eight trash canlids, 15 pounds of sand,10 six-foot poles, 12 pairsof drumsticks, 200 litersof water and eightbananas.

Brooms are alwaysbreaking, especially ifthere are weather changes weakening the wood,Fernandez said. Andsometimes, performers will get hit by a broom when stagehands thrownew brooms onto the

stage during a show. Ivetotally lost it before laugh-ing after someone gets hit.But people in the audi-ence dont even notice.

They said we havent evenstopped a beat.

Folsom is the third cityvisited by STOMP dur-ing their US tour, whichends in December.

Three Stages haskicked off its first full sea-son this year and reportsstrong ticket sales.

The season is off to agreat start, said DavePier, executive directorfor Three Stages. Onopening weekend wehad three sold-out per-formances of In theMood and the crowdsloved it.

Pier said a number ofother shows are alsoalready sold out, or areabout to be, including

Dana Carvey, Kris Kristof-ferson and Irish Christ-mas which just addeda second show and isalready half sold as well.

Swan Lake with theMoscow Festival Balletand National Acrobatsfrom China also soldquickly.

The larger Broadwayshows like STOMP andMonty Pythons Spa-malot are selling strong-ly, but still have goodavailabilities becauseeach has four or five per-formances, so more seatsare available, Pier said.

He said many of thecenters partners are alsoselling well including theFolsom Lake CommunityConcert Association.

Even with all the sell-outs, though, there arestill lots of great showsthat people can still get

tickets for family shows,dance, theatre and con-certs, Pier said. Iencourage people toexperiment a little withtheir selections and trytaking a chance on a

show that sounds inter-esting but perhaps youvenever heard of before. Allare reasonably priced,and more continue to beadded each week.

Pier suggested people

check the centers web-site occasionally or get onthe e-mail to stay up tospeed on whats going on.
