Jean Sweeney Open Space Park

Grab your chairs and blankets and head outdoors to celebrate the diverse cultural traditions of our community with live theater, music and dance from around the globe at Rhythmix in the Parks!
String &amp; Shadow Puppet Theater returns this summer with a brand-new production, Night at the Grand Opera! Set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera, Night at the Grand Opera is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera. Rococo extravagance is fashioned with elaborate cardboard sets that collapse and unfold to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house (not all of which happen on stage.). Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, art-loving flies and disaffected vermin are brought to life with cardboard and papier-mache.
String &amp; Shadow Puppet Theater is presented in partnership with the City of Alameda as part of the Rhythmix in the Parks free family concert and festival series, bringing people of all ages together to experience and explore music, dance, visual art and educational opportunities all summer long in Alameda’s City Parks.

Artists have always been at the center of the nation’s soul. They’ve told the truth when no one else would: of broken dreams and second chances; of ordinary people holding on to dignity in hard times; and, how to hold onto purpose when circumstances seem bleak. Artists are the catalysts with the power to move hearts, open eyes, and expand our potential to realize and continue to believe in what is possible.

O Say Can You See… the Soul of Our Nation showcases art that creates a future together that’s worthy of our hopes and dreams. This exhibit features artwork from local Bay Area artists that embody and envision their aspirations for the future of our country and its peoples, (re)imaging what we can be.Join Barbara Kibbe (curator) for her Postcards from the Future Workshop. Get inspired by the art in the exhibit, design a card of a future full of hope, and possibility, and write a message as if you were visiting that future.&nbsp;
O Say Can You See… the Soul of Our Nation is co-produced by Citizen Joy, curated by Barbara Kibbe (Citizen Joy Leader) and juried by Jeff Raz (Citizen Joy Founder).
