Shakespeare Santa Cruz's holiday production 'Honk!' opens this weekend.
Return to Planet Cruz
Take a rocket to Planet Cruz with the Planetoid Band for a night of comedy and assorted weirdness. The show blasts off for a new season of the bi-monthly laughfest, featuring both local and nationally touring stand-up comics, sketches, video, music and more. http:.html
Radical Craft Night
This event is basically an excuse for people to run around the MAH making a mess, dropping yarn bombs from the top of the stairwell, crafting collaborative collage storybooks, and making rugs, masks, and music. Play around and challenge the tradition of craft with the help of workshops and demonstrations from local artisans. Get weird, radical, crafty, whatever – it’s art, man. https://www.santacruz.com/3rd-friday-november-radical-craft-night-e1754391
HONK!
Shake your tailfeather with Shakespeare Santa Cruz and its musical adaptation of the classic “The Ugly Duckling.” The play follows the unfortunately named duckling Ugly, who almost everyone hates. Talk about low self-esteem… but it gets better! And thankfully doesn’t end in duck suicide. SPOILER ALERT: The little guy finds his inner beauty and love and acceptance and everyone learns their valuable lessons about being who they are and following their dreams and all that good stuff. Bring your kids! https://www.santacruz.com/honk-e1708341
Soundz
The UC Santa Cruz Music Department presents a new electroacoustic concert featuring students, faculty and robots from the Electronic Music Studios and boasting a brand spanking new state-of-the-art Recital Hall sound system. Also, Soundz with a z? Zo hip. https://www.santacruz.com/soundz-electroacoustic-music-concert-e1757612
Smoov-E
Eli Meltzer is a different kind of Southern rapper – for one thing, he’s not from the South. Born there, technically, but he was raised right here in the Bay Area. Second, he’s hilarious, on purpose. Perhaps the best comparison is another Bay Area totally-serious-about-joking hip-hop act, Wallpaper. Like Ricky Reed, Meltzer uses deadpan delivery to melt the line between satire and artistic expression. https://www.santacruz.com/smoov-e-e1759852
