2018-02-17 20:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
On the heels of Wild Honey’s sold-out, acclaimed 2017 celebration of THE BAND (featuring Garth Hudson, Jackson Browne, Carlene Carter, & The Continental Drifters), Wild Honey Orchestra and Friends will team up with co-founder RICHIE FURAY to explore the earth-shaking folk/country/psychedelic rock of Buffalo Springfield, a short-lived but legendary band that featured Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin, and, later, Jim Messina.
The three-hour plus event will benefit the Autism Think Tank (autismthinktanknj.com), a non-profit that brings together a team of top autism specialists, via an internet medical conference, to tackle the painful medical/psychological issues faced by kids like Wild Honey’s co-founder Paul Rock’s thirteen-year-old son, Jake, a non-verbal autistic boy with extreme digestive distress and self-injury issues. The Wild Honey Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit which seeks to pass on the passion, creativity, and idealism found in rock, rhythm & blues, folk, and pop music to future generations through cultural events of all types, has raised over $100,000 for the ATT over the past four years.

Musical Theatre Guild Presents High Society
2018-02-11 19:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Music and Lyrics: Cole Porter
Book: Arthur Kopit
Based on Philip Barry’s 1939 stage comedy The Philadelphia Story and subsequent 1956 musical film adaptation, High Society.
In 1956, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and the stunning Grace Kelly brought this musical adaptation of Philip Barry’s The Philadelphia Story to life on the silver screen, where it featured a sparkling score by musical master Cole Porter. This 1988 Broadway adaptation takes Porter even further by pouring more of his classic tunes into the party punchbowl than you can sing in one night. But we will! The plot centers on pretentious socialite Tracy Samantha Lord, who is planning to wed an equally pretentious executive when her ex-husband arrives to disrupt the proceedings. You’re invited to this non-stop romp of great Porter songs and mismatched romances. which includes most of the music featured in the 1956 movie. ‘Well, Did You Evah? What a swell party this is!’
