The Music of Sam Cooke –
The King of Soul

Baum Walker Hall
Sept. 7, 2023

10am
Best For: Middle School and up

Sam Cooke, also known as Mr. Soul, was the pioneer of what we now know as Soul Music. Cooke's influence spans over 60 years and multiple music genres, from country to rock to pop. Though he was made famous with hits such as “You Send Me,” “Only Sixteen,” “Cupid,” “Chain Gang,” “Twistin’ the Night Away,” “A Change is Gonna Come” and “Wonderful World,” Mr. Cooke’s greatest influence lay in his social impact, business acumen, and willingness to blaze a trail for himself and others. He fought against segregation both on and offstage, and was an avid contributor to the civil rights movement.
The audience will journey from his birth as a preacher's son in Clarksdale, Mississippi during segregation to his tragic death in 1964 at the height of his civil rights activism. Entertainer Bradd Marquis brings Mr. Soul to life using the songs and stories of Cooke’s history. Marquis transports his audience back in time with lessons of Sam Cooke’s life, social impact and self-empowerment.

Tomás loves stories. As the young son of migrant farm workers, he spends the summer with his family following the crops north from Texas to Iowa, passing long days in the fields listening to his grandfather tell stories. Before long, Tomás knows all of Papa Grande’s tales by heart. When a chance encounter brings him to the local Carnegie Library, he meets the “Library Lady,” who recognizes his thirst for knowledge and encourages him to read. His delight in books is equaled by his pride in teaching Spanish to the Library Lady, trading knowledge and respect between generations and cultures. By the end of the summer, Tomás is becoming his family’s newest storyteller. Based on the book, this bilingual musical tells the true story of Mexican-American author and educator Tomás Rivera, who became the first minority Chancellor in the University of California system. The production shows how reading, education and self-esteem can make anything possible.

Best For: Lower and Upper Elementary

Silas is from a family of shepherds and is responsible for watching their sheep up on the mountain over the winter. But he’s bored, lonely, and missing out on the fun of the annual knitting competition in town, so he cries - “Wolf!” Playwright Mike Kenny adapts Aesop’s famous fable, creating a wintery tale about a boy who learns that “nobody believes a liar, even when they’re telling the truth”. The ensemble of actor-musicians plays instruments and sing live as they embody all the delightful characters, including hilarious sheep and perhaps a scary wolf or two… All set in a village of knitters with fingers flicking, needles clicking and where every new jumper tells a tale! Ultimately, Silas finds a place for himself (and his imagination) in his warm woolly community.

While acknowledging the realities of slavery, the book and original musical compositions by Ms. St. Armant bring out the full experience of freedom-seekers: optimism, bravery, playfulness, wonder, suspense and mystery.

A Forest in the City is an interactive show with two dancers who create an imaginary city as their movements project on two large screens. The “architect” dancer observes the landscape of the screen and, using movement and gesture, draws a city with houses and streets. The other dancer, a nature lover, draws all the grass, trees and insects. As the imaginary city grows, students are invited to make their own additions, using dance and technology. Insects appear, the seasons change, and the city gets bigger, busier and more complex. Together with the audience, the dancers will design a new space where nature will grow and a “tree concert” can be experienced.
