Marin Theatre presents “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True”

Marin Theatre continues its 2024/25 season with the U.S. premiere of “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True,” a wildly original play detailing the riveting 1612 trial of Agostino Tassi for the assault of 17-year-old female Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Conceived and written by the U.K.’s Breach Theatre from centuries- old court transcripts, this powerful, fast-paced drama finds Gentileschi tasked with facing down her attacker within the constraints of the law and the gender expectations of the time. Featuring an all-women cast, “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True” tells the story of how one woman found revenge through her art, becoming one of the most successful painters of a generation. Hailed by The Guardian as “gripping, tremendous,” this work blends myth and history with contemporary commentary. Acclaimed director Rebecca Wear helms this bold and compelling production.

Opera San José presents “Zorro”

Opera San José will conclude its 41st season with the Northern California premiere of Héctor Armienta’s “Zorro.” Latino stage director David Radamés Toro will make his OSJ debut staging the production, while Argentinian conductor Jorge Parodi, who last conducted "Rigoletto" for OSJ, will return to the podium.

Set in the early 1800s in El Pueblo de Los Ángeles, still a colony of Spain, “Zorro” follows the adventures of Diego de la Vega, a Spanish nobleman who hides his identity to become a mysterious masked hero, the dashing defender of the less fortunate. With a lush score influenced by mariachi, flamenco, and corrido music, the caped crusader comes to operatic life, battling tyranny and corruption, juggling romantic interests of the beguiling daughter of the Governor, Carlota de Obragón, and the brave and kind… Category: Theater / Concerts.

Marin Theatre presents “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True”

Marin Theatre continues its 2024/25 season with the U.S. premiere of “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True,” a wildly original play detailing the riveting 1612 trial of Agostino Tassi for the assault of 17-year-old female Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Conceived and written by the U.K.’s Breach Theatre from centuries- old court transcripts, this powerful, fast-paced drama finds Gentileschi tasked with facing down her attacker within the constraints of the law and the gender expectations of the time. Featuring an all-women cast, “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True” tells the story of how one woman found revenge through her art, becoming one of the most successful painters of a generation. Hailed by The Guardian as “gripping, tremendous,” this work blends myth and history with contemporary commentary. Acclaimed director Rebecca Wear helms this bold and compelling production.

Winemaker Dinner At The Sea Ranch Lodge

Peay Vineyards sits on a ridge above a river gorge in the northwestern corner of the “true” Sonoma Coast, 4 miles from the chilly Pacific Ocean. A consistent afternoon ocean wind, their location in the cool inversion layer, and ancient marine soils allow them to produce wines of elegance, intensity, and focus. Peay Vineyards is a first generation family winery started in 1996. Husband and wife, Nick Peay and Vanessa Wong, grow and make the wine and Nick’s brother, Andy Peay, sells the wine and runs the business. Vanessa Wong was formerly the winemaker at Peter Michael Winery. They planted the first 30 acres of the 54 acre vineyard in 1998 with the remaining planted in 2001 and 2008. 2002 was their first vintage. They now grow and produce estate-only Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, Viognier and Roussanne/Marsanne. They sell fruit to a handful of premier wineries, but the majority of their fruit goes into their own bottlings. The Peay family farms organically and maintains their certifications for fish-fri… Category: Food and Beverage / Farmer's Market. Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM.

Lindsey Webster, Billboard #1 jazz singer/songwriter

21+ Bar opens one hour before showtime. Happy hour 6:30 – 7 pm. Show starts at 7:30 pm. Two-drink minimum per guest. Come early for happy hour specials! ---------- The stunning, charismatic Billboard #1 singer/songwriter Lindsey Webster is a rarity in the world of Contemporary Jazz. Soultracks once declared, “If Carole King and Sade had a kid, she would be Lindsey Webster.” The amiable and earthy singer has managed to shake up the cliquish male and instrumental dominated Contemporary Jazz scene, forging a path that is uniquely her own. Amazingly in 2016, Webster became the first vocalist to hit #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz charts since Sade. All About Jazz declares, “Webster is soulful, authentic and belongs on the short list of new talents keeping the tradition alive and taking it to the next level,” while Pop Matters describes Webster’s voice as “Soulful…Effortless.” At the heart of Lindsey’s collaborations is her long-time musical partner and former husband, pianist Keith Slattery.
