National Geographic Live! : On The Trail Of Big Cats
National Geographic Live! On The Trail Of Big Cats With Wildlife Photographer Steve Winter From trekking India’s Himalaya in search of rare snow leopards and stalking the elusive jaguar through Latin American jungles to chronicling the nocturnal activities of the “American lion” or cougar, award-winning photographer Steve Winter ventures far and wide to come face-to-face with his subjects. This is no easy task: many big cat species are in danger of extinction, so they have good reason to avoid humans.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Rescheduling: September 2, 2021, 7:30PM Opening Act: Dee White With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony.

Capitol Arts Center: Defending Your Life
Capitol Arts Center DEFENDING YOUR LIFE (1991) Free Event Directed by Albert Brooks Starring Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep, and Rip Torn “The best American comedy in years” —NPR’s Bob Mondello Daniel Miller was tooling along a Los Angeles boulevard listening to Barbara Streisand sing “Something’s Coming” when something came—a bus.

Academy Award winner Meryl Streep joins Academy Award nominee Albert Brooks for a witty peek at the afterlife, where you can eat all you want and not gain an ounce. But there’s a catch: you’re saddled with Defending Your Life. If you can’t make a case for having lived a full and fearless one, you must go back to Earth and try again.
