Beth Bombara: Joni and Beyond

STRAUSS BLACK BOX THEATRE

Joni and Beyond: Beth Bombara explores the music of our treasured female songwriters.

Beth Bombara is a dynamic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in St. Louis, Missouri, celebrated for her evocative blend of Americana, folk, and indie rock. With a voice often likened to Rosanne Cash and a musical sensibility that bridges the raw energy of rock with the introspective depth of folk, Bombara has carved out a distinctive niche in the American roots music scene.

 

Born on August 4, 1983, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Bombara's musical journey began with piano lessons in her youth, eventually leading her to the guitar and songwriting. She formed her first band, a melodic punk group called Green Means Go, during high school, which continued into her college years. After earning an interdisciplinary degree in Music & Culture from Greenville College in Illinois, she relocated to St. Louis in 2007, immersing herself in the city’s rich musical landscape.

 

Bombara’s solo career took off with the release of her debut EP, Abandon Ship, in 2007. Since then, she has released several acclaimed albums, including Wish I Were You (2010), Beth Bombara (2015), Map & No Direction (2017), Evergreen (2019), and It All Goes Up (2023). Her music showcases her versatility as a vocalist and instrumentalist, often featuring her on guitar, piano, and drums. Collaborating closely with her husband and bassist, Kit Hamon, Bombara crafts songs that resonate with authenticity and emotional depth.

 

A respected figure in the St. Louis music community, Bombara has been honored with multiple awards, including the Riverfront Times' Best Americana Artist in 2014 and 2015. Her performances at venues like the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Whitaker Music Festival and her active engagement with fans through live shows and social media have solidified her reputation as a compelling live performer and dedicated artist.

 

Beth Bombara continues to captivate audiences with her heartfelt songwriting and genre-blending sound, embodying the spirit of modern Americana while honoring its roots.

Robert Townsend: Living in the Shuffle

ROSS FAMILY THEATRE

Written & Performed by Robert Townsend
Co-Produced with Don Reed

Living the Shuffle is the amazing journey of actor, writer, director, and filmmaker, Robert Townsend. Townsend, a natural-born storyteller, takes you on a show biz rollercoaster ride of ups and downs from the dangerous streets of Chicago, to performing Julius Caesar at a pimp convention in New York City. He also takes you behind the scenes of giving birth to his first film Hollywood Shuffle done with a miracle and a credit card. Townsend gives you a front-row seat, sharing life lessons he has learned along the way.

This one-man show returns Townsend to his roots in the theater, where he showcases his uncanny ability with impressions and performs a cast of characters like you’ve never seen before. This edgy, vulnerable, and hilarious show will inspire and give hope to the dreamer in anyone.

Artist Bio:
Robert Townsend transcends any medium he touches whether he’s performing stand up, acting, writing, directing, producing, or running a television network. A Chicago native, Townsend is often referred to as one of the “Godfathers” of the Independent Film World. With over 30 years in the business, he has made an indelible mark in Hollywood with an extensive list of credits. Robert’s genius first revealed itself in elementary school. As a kid Robert was always fascinated with television, watching and studying it tirelessly, he began to practice acting out scenes and impersonating famous characters.

At his school during a reading of Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex, he dazzled the class with his ability to transform effortlessly into character. As a result, Robert’s remarkably versatile talent as a young actor was born and caught the attention of Chicago’s Experimental Bag Theatre. Robert made an unforgettable mark in his hometown of Chicago then went onto New York’s renowned comedy club, The Improvisation, and initiated his career as a stand-up comedian.

Then for Robert, it was on to Hollywood. There he dabbled in a mixture of industries and found that with his versatile talent, he was able to adapt quickly from being a comedian to a full-screen actor. Robert’s first film appearance was (uncredited) in the popular urban classic, Cooley High (1975). His break came while performing on various television comedy specials including Rodney Dangerfield: It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me (1986) and Uptown Comedy Express (1987). Although comedy had been his forte during the early part of his career, he knew he was destined to be on the big screen. He landed the role of a lifetime co-starring opposite Denzel Washington in A Soldier’s Story (1984) and appeared with Diane Lane in Streets of Fire (1984) and Kevin Costner in American Flyers (1985).

Don Reed – Co-Producer Don Reed, (East 14th/Snap Judgment/The Kipling Hotel) a TBA: Theatre Bay Area Award WINNER and four-time nominee and 2024 BroadwayWorld Nominee for Best Play, Best Solo Performance, and Best Director for The DMV.

Artist Bio:
Robert Townsend transcends any medium he touches whether he’s performing stand up, acting, writing, directing, producing, or running a television network. A Chicago native, Townsend is often referred to as one of the “Godfathers” of the Independent Film World. With over 30 years in the business, he has made an indelible mark in Hollywood with an extensive list of credits. Robert’s genius first revealed itself in elementary school. As a kid Robert was always fascinated with television, watching and studying it tirelessly, he began to practice acting out scenes and impersonating famous characters.

At his school during a reading of Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex, he dazzled the class with his ability to transform effortlessly into character. As a result, Robert’s remarkably versatile talent as a young actor was born and caught the attention of Chicago’s Experimental Bag Theatre. Robert made an unforgettable mark in his hometown of Chicago then went onto New York’s renowned comedy club, The Improvisation, and initiated his career as a stand-up comedian.

Then for Robert, it was on to Hollywood. There he dabbled in a mixture of industries and found that with his versatile talent, he was able to adapt quickly from being a comedian to a full-screen actor. Robert’s first film appearance was (uncredited) in the popular urban classic, Cooley High (1975). His break came while performing on various television comedy specials including Rodney Dangerfield: It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me (1986) and Uptown Comedy Express (1987). Although comedy had been his forte during the early part of his career, he knew he was destined to be on the big screen. He landed the role of a lifetime co-starring opposite Denzel Washington in A Soldier’s Story (1984) and appeared with Diane Lane in Streets of Fire (1984) and Kevin Costner in American Flyers (1985).

Don Reed – Co-Producer Don Reed, (East 14th/Snap Judgment/The Kipling Hotel) a TBA: Theatre Bay Area Award WINNER and four-time nominee and 2024 BroadwayWorld Nominee for Best Play, Best Solo Performance, and Best Director for The DMV. He is currently the host/creator/and producer of Redwood Nights: Storytelling Under the Stars in Marin. This NAACP Triple Nominee for Best Actor & Best Playwright, is the actor/writer/director of the The Never Too Late Show – a solo show on the importance of never giving up while battling up the Hollywood gauntlet to late night televison’s "The Tonight Show" starring Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. Reed was also one of the lead actors in the Amazon Prime comedy series :Bartlett: co-financed and recurring role starring composer/creator of Broadway smash HAMILTON – Lin Manuel Miranda. Don has performed, written and directed for film, television, and theater. A memorable performance on Robert Townsend’s HBO Partners in Crime Special years ago bonded a union between the two multi-hyphenates. You may have heard his voice on Spiderman, Johnny Quest, SNL and most recently as the voice of the cat on CBS’s “2 Broke Girls.”

- Free summer camp that provides three meals a day
- Free transportation to and from their location
- Accepting babies through 12 year old teens
- Field trips to parks and water play on Fridays
- Hiring more staff members to handle the increased numbers

Thanks to the generosity of the City of Kirkwood and KPAC– ALL proceeds are going to Annie Malone’s. We will be collecting any cash and check (made payable to Annie Malone’s) donations as well as Lowes, Home Depot, and Schnucks gift cards that can be passed on to those in need.

Annie Malone’s has been helping St. Louis children in need for over 100 years, and they are endorsed by the City of St. Louis, as a top charity to donate to during this time of recovery. Learn more about them at Anniemalone.org
