THEATER ARTIST TICKETS

Are you a working theater artist? We recognize that Gala events sometimes price out the very people who help make the art. We want you to celebrate with us even if you can't support us financially! (And hopefully you'll still bid on the auction!)

• $30 below-cost ticket pays for dinner. You still enjoy the entertainment! You buy your own drink.

• $50 at-cost ticket is the actual cost of dinner, drink, entertainment and venue.

LIVE MUSIC

Joe Cruz is regarded as one of the most versatile and energetic multi-stringed instrumentalists on the Twin Cities music scene today. Throughout his 30-year career, this passionate musician has been involved with numerous groups and recording projects, developing a vast array of styles. On any given night he can be found playing anything from solo acoustic guitar to screaming electric, swinging with a jazz combo, picking mandolin in a bluegrass band or exploring Latin music on Cuban trés and Puerto Rican cuatro. Also a composer, Joe has an extensive repertoire of original song and instrumental compositions. He currently performs solo, as well as with his trio, Scenic Roots. He also plays regularly with fiddler Brian Wicklund & The Barley Jacks and with blues piano man Scottie “Bones” Miller.
