Sunset Blvd. – September 5 through September 28, 2025
Underwritten by Betty J. Paro, in remembrance of Tom Paro
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant take of the 1950 movie, that is both haunting and desperately sad Hollywood, 1949. Forgotten silent film-era star Norma Desmond longs to return to the silver screen. Holed away in her decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard, Desmond lures handsome, struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis into her orbit, seeking someone to pen a movie that will fulfill her fantasy of a big-screen comeback. Norma grandly sweeps down the stairs to the waiting police, declaring, “And now, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.” Recommended for ages 13 & up
Ages 13 & up
Directed by Steve Isaacson
Choreographed by Kelly Lynn Jordan
Musical direction by Kyle Jackson

We collaborate with local non-profits starting with Couleurs Vives Art Studio who joined us in 2018! Many of our talented vendors can be found at other festivals like the Davis Phoenix Coalition’s Pride Fest, the I-House’s International Festival, and 2nd Friday Art Abouts on E Street Plaza!

Help us promote solar energy and its everyday use. It also seeks to support policies to ensure clean energy resources for communities that lack the capital for rebate programs and reside in neighborhoods more vulnerable to climate change due to poorer air quality and less shade.
The event’s program will feature community speakers, hands-on workshops, informational booths, displays, demonstrations, kids’ activities, tasty and healthy food, and cultural entertainment such as Mumbo Gumbo and Rock For Democracy. For over 30 years, Mumbo Gumbo has been one of Northern California’s most acclaimed bands, releasing nine albums of original music and performing thousands of shows for fans of all ages. Rock For Democracy is a rock concert stage show highlighting today’s current political issues featuring Classic Rock, Blues, Punk, Reggae, Funk, Country, and every hybrid of those styles on one stage in one show!

Better by the End

A Wildish Workshop for People Who Are Done Pretending
$25 at the door (pay more if you can, less if you need to)
Something in you knows there is more.
Past the grind, the scrolling, the constant performing.
Welcome, those parts of you that still believe.
This isn’t a workshop to fix you. It’s a ritual in plain clothes:
a space to remember yourself, or to move something that got stuck.
You might just land in a room full of people who aren’t trying to win—just trying to be real with themselves and each other.
What Happens Here?
Every session is different.
We move with what shows up.
You might find yourself drawing, dancing, speaking truth to a stranger, or sitting quietly with a snack and your breath.
There is a structure—but it’s alive.
There is leadership—but it listens.
We always pause for a full 20-minute break in the middle with food. If you bring some, we will eat that too.
Because sharing food is an original technology. -S. Thomas
Who Comes to This?
People like you.

The queer kid done shrinking
The MAGA dad with a soft heart and no map
The burned-out caregiver who needs to fall apart for a minute
The skeptical healer
The artist who hasn’t made anything in years
The person whose body showed up before their mind said yes

This space holds grief and laughter.
Awkwardness and beauty.
Silence and song.
You don’t have to be good at anything.
You just have to show up and be. You can even leave early, and that practice itself, that micro-courageous step where you listen to your own needs, is… Better.
What You’ll Leave With:

A little more breath
A little less armor
A strange kind of joy
A sense that you are, in fact, not alone

You’ll leave better by the end—whatever that means for you.
Facilitated by leaf Wild
Artist. Counselor. Educator. Spirit liberator.
Terminal MFA. Trained in grief, fluent in play, fluent in truth. Wildish to the bone.
Bring: Comfy clothes, a snack to share if you like, and your real self.
Questions / RSVP: ask leaf or staff at: wildishwork@gmail.com
Location: HeartScapes Studio, Davis, CA
Time: Third Sundays · 2:00–3:45 PM
Cost: $25+ (no one turned away)
This is not therapy.
This is a practice ground for being human.
Come as you are.
See what moves.
Leave better.

Bat Talk and Tour
2025-09-21 17:15 - 19:45, 2025-09-22 17:15 - 19:45 | Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, 45211 County Rd. 32B
Did you know that a huge colony of migratory bats live under the Yolo Causeway during the summer? Join Yolo Basin Foundation for a summertime Bat Talk and Tour to learn all about these amazing and beneficial mammals.
Following a presentation on bat natural history, where you will have the opportunity to see live ambassador bats up close, the group will carpool out to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area in Davis for a brief tour of the wetlands and rice fields. Then we get in position to watch the “flyout” of the largest urban colony of Mexican free-tailed bats in California. The bats emerge in long ribbons as they head out to hunt for insects for the night.
The whole experience takes about two and a half hours. This is a family friendly event! There is a small amount of walking. Those in wheelchairs or unable to walk may view the bats by car. Please let us know if you have special needs.
Refunding or rescheduling tickets requires two weeks notice and is subject to a $10 administrative fee.
In regards to the recent heat: While it can be very hot in town during the heat of the day, the first hour and a half of this program will take place in an air conditioned room and from your own vehicle during the auto tour. By the time we are outside to view the flyout, it will be nearly sunset. It is typically 10-15 degrees cooler in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area where we watch the bat flyout.
