CinemaWest Rheem Theatre & Giant Screen

Don't miss a ONE DAY only screening of Loving Karma at the Rheem Theater in Moraga on October 18 at 3 pm. This documentary has won several film festival awards and is the follow up to an Emmy-award winning short film. In the Himalayan foothills, a former monk has built a community for children who have endured abandonment and neglect and the film focuses on the fundamental question of what happens when suffering meets compassion. It's a powerful story of resilience, healing, and the impact of compassion in action. It's truly not to be missed and is a lesson for us all. Includes Q&amp;A with producers (in person) and community founder (via zoom). Tickets found here: https://jhamtse.org/loving-karma/.&nbsp;

OJC is very excited to present this collaborative musical event featuring Stephanie Crawford! She is an internationally acclaimed singer and that rare bird: a black trans vocal musician in the exceedingly straight jazz world.Born in 1942, she grew up in Detroit, Michigan, during the Golden Age of modern jazz. Always a lover of music, she did not, however, sing in public until she was 36, after working on a Chrysler assembly line and as a short-order cook, and earning a bachelor’s degree in painting from Wayne State University. Along the way, at age 26, she also underwent a new “male-to-female gender reassignment surgery” offered by the University of Michigan.Having studied with renowned bop pianist Barry Harris in New York, she migrated to Paris, where she remained for several years, performing and teaching at prestigious schools of music, various festivals, and venues such as The Duc des Lombards, The Sunset, New Morning, and a host of other establishments, winning the Django D’Or award for Best International Jazz Vocalist. In New York, she has performed in such famed venues as Wigstock, The Pyramid, Sweet Basil, The Blue Note, Jazzmania, and Barry Harris Jazz Cultural Theatre, among others. She is a sublime interpreter of the American and Brazilian songbook, performing in the classic jazz vocal tradition of Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter.
