    This is Red Earth’s second year working with Wendy Lippman (Tlaquepaque owner and property manager) to add live theatre to the current roster of live music and other events. The third Thursday of each month brings a series of simple stripped-down theatrical performances, featuring local performers and a variety of live forms. Future dates include: Dec 19th when they bring back their concise version of ‘A Christmas Carol’ and in 2020 with performances on Jan 16th (with Gary Every), Feb 20th (with the Red Rock High School), March 19th, April 16th (with Parangello Players), May 21st  and June 18th  (a special show with Canned Sedona). If you are a performer with an idea for a show please contact Red Earth Theatre at info@redearththeatre.org or by phone at 938-399-0997.

    A nonprofit company founded in 2013, Red Earth Theatre provides a platform to inspire and nurture many voices through live performance, and encourages dialogue exploring the human experience in our diverse communities throughout the Verde Valley. Producing new work, old favorites, reader’s theatre and working collaboratively with many organizations to include the performing arts in creative forms, Red Earth Theatre aims to provide opportunity for everyone to experience live performance.

    ‘The Gratitude Show’ is a heartfelt and varied collection of thoughts considering gratitude. Featuring original pieces from our local community of creators including Murray Archimedes, Constance Patrick, Kate Hawkes and Liz Hargrove it includes writing from others including Billy Collins, Ann Lamont, Mark Doty and Carl Dennis. Readers will also share some short letters expressing thanks including notes from Neil Armstrong, Marilyn Monroe, Roald Dahl and Audrey Hepburn.

    Threaded through the show are quotes from A.A. Milne (Piglet), Hafiz, Confucius, Buddha, Oliver Sacks, Aesop, Tecumseh and Lao-Tzu. Songs will include ‘Gracias a la Vida’ (Violetta Para), ‘Hakuna Matata’ (yes, from The Lion King) and you are invited to sing with us on Louis Armstrong’s ‘What A Wonderful World’.

     “If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you’, that would suffice.” (Meister Eckhart.) With this as a starting point, have a meal at one of the local restaurants before or after the show, pick up a cup of something warm, dress cozily and join us to share music, poetry and prose as we gather together in the Chapel in gratitude for all that we share, have and love at 6pm and again at 7.30pm on Thursday November 21st. We also ask that you bring something for our homeless population that will assist them through the coming cold months.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
