About the artists:

ángel dolores (they/them - elle/x/a) is a fluid, trans artist who is continuously learning to love life and navigate the fight for equity and community empowerment. They use many forms of art to express the expansiveness of it all. Thank you for holding space.

Symphonie Constant (she/her) has a sound that lives where R&B meets Jazz. She’s performed at Jazz Festivals, Blues Festivals, Bach Festivals, in Operas, and for sporting events. She hopes to continue her journey as a music professional, currently a highly motivated music major at CSUMB with a passion for the music industry. She has had music lessons since the age of 5 and intends to continue to sing until she can’t anymore.

Nelson G Nelson (they/them) is a multimedia artist from the Sonoran Desert. Drawing inspiration from the meandering, pleading melodies of Italian arias and Russian Romantics, they began composing on piano, then later on harp and electric guitar. A visual, emotive songwriter, Nelson released their chiffon-draped EP 'Some Things Piscean' in 2018. They’ll be playing unpublished songs from their conceptual album, an autobiographical account of adolescence, each song centering around a location and the events/feelings associated with it. www.pinkfeet.bandcamp.com

Malinda DeRouen (she/her) is a singer’s singer, a cover queen, who thrives on vocal vibrations. She covers songs from multiple genres, adding her own soul and simplicity. After fronting full bands for years, Malinda is most comfortable in an acoustic setting, with the simple hope to touch people with her music.

to Jan 5

Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]

With Paraphrase Productions, directed by River Navaille.

3 actors. 90 minutes. All 37 of William Shakespeare’s plays. That is the recipe for the brilliance - and the madness! - of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]. Three self-proclaimed Shakespeare experts will take  you on a tour through each of the Bard’s great works. Not only will you see prime presentations of iambic pentameter, but you will also witness Shakespearean shenanigans including sword fighting, mistaken identities - and rap.

This is a comedy experience you won’t want to miss! Complete Works plays January 3-5 at 320 Hoffman Avenue in Monterey. This is a pay-what-you-want event.
