Small Island Big Song

Grand Vision Foundation presents Small Island Big Song, a live music and multimedia concert on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, at 7:30 pm at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro, California. The Small Island Big Song concert is part of a larger multi-platform project—that includes a documentary film and several full-length albums—uniting indigenous musicians who share an ancient seafaring ancestry across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Composed, recorded and filmed with the artists, in the languages and with the instruments of the artists’ homelands, Taiwanese producer BaoBao Chen and Australian music producer and filmmaker Tim Cole have created an epic contemporary and relevant musical statement from a region at the frontline of global cultural and environmental challenges. 

The concert is framed in a theatrical narrative, combining oceanic grooves, soulful island ballads, spoken word, and films of the artist’s homelands. The Los Angeles event will feature performances by Putad (Amis tribe of Taiwan), Selina Leem (Marshall Islands), Richard Mogu (Magi tribe of Papua New Guinea), Sammy (Merina tribe of Madagascar), and Emlyn, Kan, Kokol, all from Mauritius. The Warner Grand Theatre, originally opened as a lavish movie palace in 1931, is located at 478 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA 90731. Small Island Big Song concert tickets range in price from $28 to $105.

"Geek Out"! Geeks - The Musical

They're here, They're ....uh, Geeks, get used to it! I hereby declare, March 1st 2012 shall forever go down in Theatre History as the premiere of: "Geeks - The Musical".

And it's about time, we have had everything in the history of the whole world turned into a musical, from "Cats" to "Spiderman" but what about the Geeks? What about the Geeeeeeks?!

Well, woot, here it is! You may remember my chat with one of it's stars, and self confessed "Geek" Jonathan "JB" Brett prior to the opening - you don't?! In the words of the delusional Mariah Carey speaking of those who did not know her dog's name was "Jack"  "You must be living under a rock"....

So here it is, get yourself some! http://mshinafelt.blogspot.com/2012/02/checking-in-with-jonathan-brett.html
