Sequoia Rhapsody and Project Wild Edges

Wednesday, November 12th at 7:30pm

This free event will be a fundraiser for the theatre’s recently installed sound system.

Nevada County media artist Don Baldwin has created a visually stunning film capturing the grandeur of California’s Giant Sequoias and the Coastal Redwoods. After 10 years in production, and photographed in over 15 redwood groves and forests, the film is ready for its initial screening! The beauty of the redwoods has been thoughtfully matched with the glorious orchestral score, “Sequoia Rhapsody,” composed by noted Bay Area harpist, Paul Hurst.

The evening will also include a screening of, “Project Wild Edges, the Documentary.”  A magical play, co-created by Nevada County artists Jenny Hale and Lisa Barker, performed in 2022, has been documented on film by John Alexander Jimenez. Set along the Wolf Creek trail in Grass Valley, with wild creatures peeking from the forest and elements of wind, earth, fire, and water adding to the story; the play explores our relationship with nature. ”How does the way we live connect to the swoop of a bird’s wing?” It honors the reality that we are not separate from nature, but that nature is a vital, living, part of us.

The entire community of all ages is warmly welcome to what promises to be an entertaining and inspiring evening!
