Dogfight:

Lesher Center for the Arts
1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek
Friday, September 5th – Sunday, September 21st, 2014
$35

This production is recommended for audience members 17 years old and up.

Set in the fall of 1963, Dogfight  follows three young Marines on the eve of their deployment to Vietnam who set out for one last night of debauchery in San Francisco. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress, he enlists her to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of compassion. Based on the 1991 film of the same name starring River Phoenix and Lili Taylor, Dogfight carries the audience through a thunderous musical journey of unexpected love, loss, and brotherhood.

Register for Walnut Creek Kickball:

Heather Farm Park
301 N. San Carlos Dr, Walnut Creek
Wednesday, September 24th – Wednesday, November 19th, 2014
6:45pm | $73

Kickball isn’t just for sugar fueled middle schoolers, and worn out PE teachers. It’s your chance to relive your playground glory with the added bonus of adults and beer! It’s a great way to meet new people, party, and have fun while doing it. So, lace up your sneakers and sign up as a team, small group or free agent!

Fall season games will be on Wednesday nights at 6:45PM and 7:45PM at Heather Farms Park Field #3.

After the games we replenish our electrolytes at our team bar!  This season our team bar is Blu42!

This is where we get to rehash plays, flaunt our awesomeness, and oh yeah, party.

If you’re not yet convinced why you should head to the team bar after our game, here are two more reasons:

1. Bragging rights to non-ballers
2. An excuse to drink on a Wednesday

Jinx Jones and the King Tones:

Lesher Center for the Arts
1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek
Friday, August 22nd, 2014
8:15pm | $25

A veteran of the Denver music scene of the ’80s who’s been living in California since 1989, rockabilly guitarist Jinx Jones has performed with Chuck Berry, Roy Buchanan and Solomon Burke and his chops can even be heard on En Vogue’s hit “Free Your Mind.” As a leader, Jones has four albums under his belt, including his most recent effort, Rip and Run, which showcases his fiery picking skills.

One thing that really sets Jinx Jones apart is his obvious knowledge and love of jazz and chords. Almost all of the solos feature a section that’s a trip through chord-city. By the time the single notes start to fly, you’re really impressed by his know-how.” –Vintage Guitar Magazine–

Jinx Jones and the King Tones is not a group you want to miss.
