It's not even Thanksgiving yet but we've had enough of carols on the radio, decorations in every store since October, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire to last us until the New Year. For a completely different holiday experience, join Pandora Productions this December for the dirtiest words soon to be on everyone's lips as we present David Grimm's MEASURE FOR PLEASURE. As The Washington Post recently wrote, 'Imagine a play by the 18th century equivalents of Mel Brooks, John Waters and the folks at Frederick's of Hollywood.'

Aurora Theatre Company announced today its plans for a workshop production of Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat (A Soldier's Tale). Through an innovative collaboration between Artistic Director Tom Ross and former San Francisco Ballet dancer Muriel Maffre, Aurora will develop a re-imagined production of L'Histoire du Soldat, based on a new translation of the libretto and new adaptation of the score. The project will feature four musicians (piano, violin, clarinet and percussion), three actors, two dancers/puppeteers, puppets (one life-size and one small), and video elements. Maffre, who performed a concert version of the work with the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival in Seattle, will serve as choreographer, dancer, and co-director of the workshop. Artistic Director Tom Ross will co-direct with Maffre, and Berkeley Opera's Jonathan Khuner will serve as musical director.
