Greetings!
Chico Performances is bringing world class acts to Laxson this month. We start off with the bold and contemporary style of the dancers from the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Then we move on to the poignant musings of popular NPR radio host Ira Glass, and finish off with the Afro-Pop music of Baaba Maal. A truly exciting month of live performances.
This month's photo gallery features pictures from the Comedy Pet Theater Field Trip on March 12, Steve Lopez' visit to Chico State and Paula Poundstone.
See you at the theater!

 Aspen Santa Fe Ballet
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Laxson Auditorium
$23 Premium | $18 Adult | $16 Senior | $14 Student/Child

Described by The New York Times as "a breath of fresh air,"
the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Company is celebrated for its musicality and
athleticism. With exciting vibrancy and striking precision, the dancers
of ASFB perform an eclectic repertoire staged by some of the world's
foremost choreographers. Not always classical, some of the pieces are
interestingly unique -- think ballet combined with a Momix performance.
This performance is supported, in part, by the Western States Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
