07:00 PM “Alice’s Adventures” Headlines Studio 4 Dance Theater’s Spring Showcase, April 29-30, 2016 i
Angels Camp, CA...Studio 4 Dance Theater’s Spring Showcase 2016 will once again thrill the audience as they perform their unique version of the ballet classic “Alice in Wonderland.” The Spring Showcase has only two performances: 7pm, Friday, April 29, and 3pm, Saturday, April 30, 2016 at the Bret Harte Theater in Angels Camp, and it’s appropriate for all ages. Tickets to the Spring Showcase 2016 are $12 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under, reserved seating is available beginning April 1, at www.studio4dancetheater.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849, or at the box office one hour before each show (cash or check only.) For further information, the public may contact Tammie Lee at 209-728-5347.

The first act features this year’s ballet production of “Alice’s Adventures,” using the traditional score for “Alice in Wonderland” by Tchaikovsky. “It’s traditional, but I have completely restructured the format of Tchaikovsky’s music to fit my version,” said Tammie Lee. Although the ballet is traditional, the audience will delight in the unexpected humor. “I felt this story is funny in so many ways, especially the ‘mad tea party.’ Audiences come to be entertained; comedy creates laughter which makes us feel good, and that’s what we want our audience to experience,” explained Tammie.

The second act is a showcase of nine new works choreographed by both students and teachers from Studio 4 School of Dance and Studio 4 Dance Theater. Each Spring Showcase production carries its own identity and creativeness. Dances range from contemporary to hip hop to tap to jazz. Returning student choreographers are Michaela Jarnagin, Molly Johnson, and Madison Pelland, each created a group contemporary number. Teacher choreographers include Debbie Dahlberg, the current tap teacher at Studio 4 School of Dance, who is creating two tap numbers. Elizabeth Ernst, a current student and teacher, is doing a contemporary hip hop dance; and Briana Gilbert, a current student and teacher is doing a contemporary solo. Elise Williams, the teen hip hop teacher, is creating her own hip hop number, and Studio 4 Dance Theater Director Tammie Lee is choreographing the finale.

Every year, Tammie is asked, “How are you going to top last year’s performance?” Her response is, “We just have to let the creative process begin. With the Spring Showcase, it’s not just ‘one thing’ that makes the show-- it’s everyone involved. Our dancers are growing and maturing as dancers, choreographers, and as artists, and that is what makes our performance better and better each year.”

07:00 PM Maple & Vine At Black Bart Playhouse
Jordan Harrison’s look at our yearning for the “good old days”, “Maple and Vine”.
An urban power couple has become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, these two 21st century transplants are surprised by what their new neighbors – and they themselves – are willing to sacrifice for happiness. Maple and vine plays Fridays and Saturdays at 7PM, and Sundays at 2PM April 15 through May 15th at the Black Bart Playhouse. Click here to purchase tickets.
