    Pink Nectar Café, takes us into the soul of ‘Jim Bishop’ as he digs into his connection to Sedona and surrounds, the wonders and mysteries in our land, history and simply as human beings in this world. As Jim remembers that it was his mother who sent him to Sedona he comes to terms with her death, discovering that sometimes we cannot know the answers and need to simply allow the stories speak to us and let the mystery be.

     Pink Nectar Café is adapted from James Bishop’s collection of short stories of the same name. Combination memoir, northern Arizona mystery guide, and serenade to the mysteries and beauty that surround us here in Northern Arizona, the stories come to life on stage. The stories include an encounter with the Navajo Chindi, the dying Verde River, the lady who blew the whistle on trustees selling artifacts at the Museum of Northern Arizona, the peregrine falcon that saved a wild piece of land and, of course, the mysterious Pink Nectar Cafe itself.  Everett Ruess, who vanished as a young man into the wilderness in Northern AZ, threads his way through each of the stories.

    Directed by Kate Hawkes, an ensemble of 11 actors play multiple roles throughout the evening, with live Native American Flute music provided by Robert Jackson underscoring the performance. Performers include long time Red Earth favorites Terra Shelman, Joan Westmoreland, Mary Gladieux, Abby Heydorn and Michael Gallagher as Jim Bishop  with Lazor Lanson as Everett Ruess and  Craig Schneider and Steve Jenness. Also in their first appearances with Red Earth, Audrey Young, Alex Logan and Buffalo Child as Grey Clouds.

    The 2015 original show was created by Red Earth Theatre with Jim Bishop by writers Kate Hawkes and Dev Ross. This 2021 production has been reimagined with writer/director Amy Waddell, recently returned to the Verde Valley, her childhood home, after 10 years living in France.

    Jim Bishop who passed in 2019, was a huge influence in the Verde Valley, and became one of Sedona’s extraordinary individuals.  Before retiring to Sedona, James Bishop Jr. was a contributing writer for President Carter’s administration, and a published author of several books.  An author and Sedona resident for 33 years, Jim was a journalist, environmental activist and champion of the arts.  Besides serving on the Board of Sedona Recycles and Red Earth Theatre, James served three periods as a Keep Sedona Beautiful Trustee and was a huge supporter of Gardens for Humanity.

    The 60 minute Pink Nectar Café production opens with a live 20 minute music set by William Eaton and friends. Their original music includes a song written by James Bishop Jr. and William Eaton entitled ‘Pink Nectar Café.

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
