Suzy Thompson's soulful folk homage to Paul Siebel: blues, bluegrass, Cajun &amp; a lost gem.Suzy Thompson brings her mastery of American roots music, including blues, bluegrass and Cajun, to create a heart-felt homage to 1970's songwriter Paul Siebel, with soulful vocals and great guitar work. Last year's album by the same name reached #3 on the national Folk Radio chart. Siebel's compositions are masterpieces of poetry, storytelling, and incisive character sketches, by turns tender, sarcastic, occasionally joyful but more often melancholy and regretful. Suzy Sings Siebel includes songs from Siebel's studio albums, and one song that was lost for 50 years - recorded, never released, and forgotten."Thompson has interpreted each song with charm, creating a warm homage to this little-known artist and his beautifully crafted songs."&nbsp; - Morgan Hogarth, Rock-N-Reel Magazine"Suzy has put her own stamp on Siebel's songs with her soulful lead vocals and great guitar work. " - Bill Foster, Bluegrass Unlimited$15-$30.Presented by Calliope: East Bay Music &amp; Arts

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. 
DISCOUNT: $10 off the price of each ticket ONLY for the 1:00 PM showing on Sunday, Nov. 1st, 2026. This discount is automatically applied at checkout.Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
The San Mateo County Community College District in California, responsible for the College of San Mateo Theatre, is committed to ensuring an inclusive and equitable environment for all, where programs and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.

Free 20-Minute Photo Coaching Session with Camera or Lens

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.
