An underdog story that isn't afraid to let its kids curse, lose, and grow up a little along the way.

A washed-up minor-league pitcher takes a paycheck to coach the worst Little League team in California — a ragtag bunch of misfits who can barely catch, let alone win. As he whips them into shape with the help of a fastball-throwing girl and a motorcycle-riding troublemaker, the team discovers there's more to the game than talent. Funny, scrappy, and refreshingly unsentimental.  

Tickets $6.50 + tax.  Proceeds benefit HCA.

In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler’s Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art.

Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings, “arrangements”, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work.

Three instruments and the musicians who play them. That's all you really need to stage an evening of fun with the George Maurer Trio. The George Maurer Trio knows how to jazz up a small space with a big sound - or a not-so-big sound, if that's what the occasion calls for. These experienced musicians are versatile, adaptable and utterly unflappable. The trio adds a bit of class to any venue and puts their jazz-infused touch on virtually every musical style, with George's piano leading the way.

They're at their best covering American swing and pop but are happy to have their way with everything from Gershwin to the Beatles. Adept at making themselves comfortable in unique performance settings, they have gigged on the swaying decks of riverboats and in steamy park band shells, held down big concert halls and tucked themselves into ballroom corners at wedding receptions. Regardless, they'll perform with ease, style and smiles.

An aging gunfighter, dying of cancer, rides into a small town looking for a peaceful place to spend his final days — only to find his legendary reputation won't let him rest. As old enemies and opportunists circle, sensing one last chance to make a name by killing him, he's forced to decide how he wants his story to end.

DGS brings a little Christmas magic to the Art’s Place Listening room. Performing on a five stringed instrument, DGS (pronouns: they/them/theirs) has both violin and viola at their fingertips, and the addition of live effects expands their sound palette to become a one-person orchestra. With a tap on the body of the instrument, the violin transforms into a kick drum. A synth pedal shifts the octaves down into bass territory, while pizzicato in their hands is performed like a guitar or mandolin. Ambient reverbs create synth textures uniquely voiced by the instrument’s timbre, and all of these sounds are created and captured live with a looper to create their music while stitching in soaring melodies over top. https://dgsviolin.com/about
