Visits and photo opportunities with Santa take place in the Community Theater form 4-7:30pm. There will be giveaways for gift bags and books donated by West Count Reads.

Upstairs in the Iron Triangle Theater, East Bay Center resident companies will present A Richmond Nutcracker, a unique and spectacular multi-discipline performance piece.

Enjoy the Sunset & Tauber/Browning Jazz @ Riggers Loft Tonight!

WHEN: Friday, September 14, 6-9pm (Happy Hour 4-6pm)

WHERE: Riggers Loft, 1325 Canal Blvd. in Richmond on the Bay –  Directions: Take I-580 to Canal / Garrard exit. Turn towards the bay and follow Canal in the Port. Continue on Canal as it winds and winds around the perimeter of the Port. When you can go no further and the bay is in front of you, you have arrived.

WHO:

Come see Craig Browning play jazz on the Hammond Organ as few can.  And listen to Jeff Tauber play the classics,  from Gershwin to Porter, on Tenor and Soprano Saxes. Accompanied by Kevin Blackmon on drums.  According to Tauber, We’ve been playing as an Organ/Sax based combo since 2016. There are no other Hammond Organ/Saxophone based jazz bands playing gigs in the Bay area anymore (if you’ve ever tried to move a 400 pound Hammond organ from gig to gig, you know why). Craig and I play the ‘Great American Songbook’.”
