Legendary multi award-winning singer songwriter John Thorn returns to the Butterfly Club with his acclaimed show 'Background Boy'. A hit of the 2016 Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Background Boy showcases John's talents as composer/singer/pianist and raconteur with a delightful collection of original songs in the tradition of Randy Newman, Hoagy Carmichael and Blossom Dearie.

Chosen out of several dozen "anti-lynching" plays, most written by African American women between 1916 and 1934, are four one-acts which will be presented through spring of 2017 in the Portland Metro area. In light of recent violent acts against people of color, collaborating professional artists are committed to sharing these plays in ways which elicit greater understanding of yesterday's events relating to today's environment. The intention is to shed light on past atrocities, and to inspire open dialogue about ways in which these historical events affect us today.  

Beginning this fall, the San Antonio Symphony will partner with the orchestra program at John Marshall High School in Northside ISD and the band program at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio ISD. This partnership comes through a pilot High School Residency Program, one of the Symphony's new education initiatives.

John Thorn has reinforced his position as a songwriter and singer with this wonderful performance.

Brian D'Arcy James (Spotlight, Smash, Broadway's SOMETHING ROTTEN) will guest-star the pilot, which will also feature Enrique Murciano (Bloodline, Collateral Beauty) in a lead rol
