Jeanne Johnson

The Summit Playhouse Presents Boeing Boeing by Marc Camoletti, translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans. Set in 1960s Paris, Boeing Boeing is a non-stop, high flying farce which tells the story of Bernard, who has Italian, German, and American fiancees who are all airline stewardesses. Bernard must juggle timetables, while his maid is constantly changing photographs of the women in order to ensure his three fiances never cross paths. Chaos ensues when Bernard's friend Robert comes to stay and a speedier Boeing jet disturbs his organization and all three fiances end up in his apartment at the same time.

The San Francisco Early Music Society's 2012-13 season resumes the first weekend of February with a concert by Music of the Spheres. The trio of Jeanne Johnson, Joanna Blendulf, and Yuko Tanaka will perform an early Valentine of French baroque music, spinning confections for violin, harpsichord, and viola da gamba, interspersed with thoughts on love by famous French authors. The program will include favorites by such giants of the age as Marin Marais, François Couperin, and Jean-Philippe Rameau as well as less familiar works by inspired musical pioneers Jean-Marie Leclair, Jean-Féry Rebel, and Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.
