The Smith family gets more than they bargained for when it hires full-time cop, part-time killer, Joe Cooper, to knock off a not-so beloved family member for her insurance money. Alluringly offensive and uncompromisingly violent, this slice of white-trash Texas noir hits the funny bone as it goes for the jugular!

This show is directed by Scott Divine* and features the stagebusting talents of Rick Eldredge, Wade Lucas*, Shannon Ma-honey*, Justin D. Muñoz*, and Kat Wolinski*.

For online tickets visit www.bigideatheatre.com or call our Box Office at (916) 960-3036. April 13 - May 5 Big Idea Theatre | 1616 Del Paso Boulevard PLEASE NOTE: Killer Joe contains nudity, profanity, violence, and strong adult themes and situations. NO CHILDREN PERMITTED.

This film also features renowned raw food chefs and leading health and nutrition experts, as well as top athletes and professional players who are also experiencing the benefits from raw food nutrition. What would you do to stay in the game?

Listen my children and you shall hear

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;

Hardly a man is now alive

Who remembers that famous day and year...

Longfellow was inspired to write the poem after visiting the Old North Church and climbing its tower on April 5, 1860. He began writing the poem the next

day. It was first published in the January 1861 issue of The Atlantic Monthly. It was later published in Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn as "The Landlord's

Tale" in 1863. The poem served as the first in a series of 22 narratives bundled as a collection, similar to Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, and was

published in three installments over 10 years.

R ebecca Garrison moved to California more than 20 years ago from a small town in Mississippi with a main street that looked a lot like Del Paso Boulevard. Her job with the Point West Area Transportation Management Association (TMA), a job she still holds along with man-aging the 50 Corridor TMA, first introduced her to The Boulevard when she was working on a project at the Swanston Light Rail Station.

While volunteering with the North Sacramento Chamber of Commerce five years ago, she started working with the staff at The Greens Hotel and eventually booked the va-cant space at 1616 Del Paso Boulevard as a Phantom Gal-lery.

She happened to be at 1616 (formerly known as The Build-ing on The Boulevard) when owner Dan Friedlander sug-gested that she take the keys to the empty space that once housed the Himovitz Gallery and try to return it to its use as an art gallery.

Since then the gallery has earned some good marks in the local art community and is entering its third year. Last year, Rebecca added an Artists in Residence program and she, along with the artists manage the hotel and the gal-lery. In June, the gallery will celebrate the arts and entertain-ment community that has been growing at 1616: the Art-ists in Residence and the two live theatres - Big Idea Theatre and The Alternative Arts Collective. You can find more information on the festivities in the on-line magazine, SIXTEEN SIXTEEN produced by Rebecca and the Artists In Residence. The monthly magazine can be found on the gal lery web s i te : www.stcgallery.webs.com

C hef Carlini grew up in the Sierra foothills with his family’s extensive gardens as his playground. Ex-

perimenting with seasonal produce at such a young age cultivated his interest in the culinary arts

and developed in him a passion to work with only the highest quality and freshest ingredients. That

passion stayed with him when he moved to Sacramento and began working at Scott’s Seafood as the

Sous Chef. He quickly rose to the Executive Chef position and began expanding his knowledge and creativity

for working with fresh seafood. Carlini left Scott’s to take the Executive Sous Chef position at Embassy Suites,

and from there moved to Thunder Valley Casino where he was the Executive Chef of Austin’s, and helped

transition the restaurant into High Steaks Steakhouse. Under his influence, High Steaks was able to help the

casino achieve a AAA Four Diamond rating.

Chef Carlini describes his cooking style as having global influences with a California twist on local and

seasonal. “I touch on many regions around the world, and then find a way to bring it back home,” he says.

He attributes much of his development to his mentor, Los Angeles celebrity Chef Roy Choi. His goal at

Enotria is to excite palates with the ultimate epicurean experience and share his love for exquisite cuisine.

BATTLE CAPITOL

AT THE

Nerdy Video Game Events for Charity* holds tournaments such as Dromstruction and Battle at the Capitol as a platform to raise money and

awareness for charities.

Every weekend thousands of people from around the world sit at their computers to watch fighting

game tournaments and we believe that to have that much attention focused on a room of people sim-

ply playing video games is a great opportunity to help organizations that do something that is bigger

than any of us as individuals. Nerdy Video Game Events for Charity has assumed the responsibility to use

the video game tournament live stream as a vehicle to share the message of charities and to do our

part to raise money for such deserving organizations.
