Hyprov with Colin Mochrie
From the minds of improv and comedy legend Colin Mochrie and Master
Hypnotist Asad Mecci comes a brand new, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping,
side-splitting show. Hypnosis and improvisation – two art forms that have
captured minds and imaginations for decades worldwide – are brought together
by two masters of their crafts, creating a totally unique theatrical
experience, HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis.
Twenty random volunteers from the audience will be hypnotized, (the
process of which is a show in its own right), their inhibitions evaporated
and their minds no longer their own, the four or five best are left on stage
when one of the world’s leading improvisers enters! Colin Mochrie, star of
“Whose Line is it, Anyway?,” will initiate and manipulate those under
hypnosis and turn the show into an improv extravaganza full of music, horse
races and lots of laughter. In the hands of two masters, and crafted from
the volunteers’ uninhibited subconscious, it’s an entirely original and
completely unforgettable show every time. Who knows where the unconscious
mind might take us?

Tchaikovsky’s best-loved opera is based on Alexander Pushkin’s profoundly human verse drama. Packed with memorable music, dances and a heart-stopping duel, it tells the bittersweet tale of a love that could have been. Our extravagant production will transport you to the courtly elegance of nineteenth century Russia. Sung in Russian with English supertitles.

Oakland Ballet: Luna Mexicana
Spirited dance, lively music and colorful costumes help celebrate Dia de los
Muertos (Day of the Dead) in this festive, family-friendly show created by
artistic director Graham Lustig. An exhilarating array of dances light up
the stage including Lustig’s “Luna Mexicana” ballet which highlights the
traditions surrounding Dia de los Muertos, as well as the return of “Viva la
Vida,” a collaboration between Lustig and Martin Romero, artistic director
of Ballet Folklórico México Danza. “Viva la Vida!” honors the life and
singular vision of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo with a striking visual energy
that draws on her love for animals and the passionate, bright colors that
animate her work. Mexican contemporary and folkloric dance works performed
by Ballet Folklorico, as well as Nahui Ehekatl & Co. Aztec dance company,
complete a joyful celebration for all ages.
About Dia de los
Muertos: Celebrated on the first two days of November every year, Dia de los
Muertos is a traditional Mexican celebration that brings families together
as they welcome the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion in
the real world. Although the symbols of the holiday feature skeletons and
skulls, and there are costumes and parades, Dia de los Muertos is not a
Mexican Halloween. Instead the celebration honors traditions that derive
from early Aztec beliefs. On that date, the border between the spirit world
and the real world was believed to be dissolved and the souls of the dead
would awaken and return to the living world to feast, drink, dance and play
music with loved ones. The colorful and lively celebration has evolved to
include fancy costumes, intricate paper decorations, and the tradition of
leaving food or other offerings on graves or on small altars called ofrendas.

Todd Snider with very special guest Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Todd Snider has been described by Premier Guitar magazine as “the closest
thing we have to Johnny Cash these days” and Cash himself was known to
welcome his “good buddy” Ramblin’ Jack Elliott up on stage. Now the Cash
connections line up as Snider and Elliott share the stage for a rollicking
evening of good music and good times.
Todd Snider has journeyed across musical genres – from his early folk and Americana roots, he took bluegrass and blues through the alt-rock era, leaving his own distinctive stamp on each. His most recent album “Cash Cabin Sessions Vol. 3,” recorded at Cash’s own studio, brings him full circle showcasing his acoustic style and the wry wit of his songwriting.
Considered one of the last true links to America’s folk music tradition, Elliott’s guitar virtuosity and irresistible storytelling spans his wide-ranging repertoire. He became immersed in the folk music of his lifelong friend and mentor, Woodie Guthrie, caught the blues from Leadbelly and other giants of the era, and his own creativity has made him an inspiration for a generation of musicians. He received the National Medal of the Arts in 1998.
Modern-day American troubadours with roots across the musical spectrum,
both Snider and Elliott bring a genuine love for sharing their music that
reaches audiences wherever they go.

It’s the G & M Farms Cornfield Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Livermore, the farm
that is so fun it has been featured TWICE on the David Letterman Show! Bring
the whole family – there’s harvest fun for all ages at G&M Farms, and it’s
easy to find, right off I-580 at Airway Drive in Livermore.

with pumpkins of all sizes – the kids can pick their own! For Mom, there’s
fresh produce, decorative gourds and Indian corn. Your little ones will love
G&M’s farm animals and the free straw bale maze, pony rides on the weekends,
and don’t forget to ride G & M Farms’ famous Cow Train!

The Duarte Garage was built in 1915 by F.H. Duarte on the original Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental U.S. Highway. When the Carquinez Bridge opened in 1927, the highway was re-routed. This section fronting the north doors was eventually renamed Portola Avenue. Junction Avenue originally ran past the south doors.
The garage sold Associated gasoline and oil products and also performed repairs. In 1923 the south half of the garage was added and became an automobile dealership, selling Durant Star and Flint models. Robert Livermore Jr. was one of the salesmen in the early 1920’s.
In the early 1940’s the garage was converted into a machine shop for rebuilding winery and farm equipment. During the 1970’s the City of Livermore purchased the Duarte Garage and surrounding land for use as a park (now adjacent east of the Garage and caretaker's home). The Livermore Heritage Guild signed a lease in 1976 to restore and maintain the garage for use as a museum.
The Annual Guild Dinner and Annual Auction are both held in the garage.
The Auction in particular is a favorite for people from all around.
