October 1 Saturday
|
Speeder Rides, Niles Canyon Railway Railroad motor cars, also called "speeders", are the way that track crews used to travel. These days, most railroads don't use speeders. They have converted to "high-railers," or pickup trucks with flanged wheels at each end, to carry their work crews on the rails or the highways. Now, the Niles Canyon Railway presents an opportunity to ride the rails the way that track gangs used to travel. Speeder rides will be offered to the public for a unique railroad experience. Advance sales only. Rides are very limited. Long pants and closed shoes are required. There will also be two 1927 Sheffield Velocipedes that are the original handpump railcars. These are very rare and are seldom available for public use. Sponsor: Niles Canyon Railway Location: Boarding at the Niles station. Times: 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00. Admission: $25 for adults, $15 for children. More info: Niles Canyon Railroad. (408) 249-2953 for tickets. |

Livermore-Amador Symphony - Pops
Concert The Livermore-Amador Symphony Guild presents Pops concerts at which the audiences can enjoy light classical symphonic and pops music in a casual setting. After many years at "the Barn" in Livermore, since 2010 the Pops venue has been the ballroom of the Livermore community center. The Livermore-Amador Symphony provides the music at Pops, with vocal
soloists and a few audience sing-alongs. Many in the audience bring
something to eat, from snacks to group potluck meals to elaborate dinners.
(Beverage sales at Pops support the Symphony.) Members of the audience (and
of the orchestra) are encouraged to wear costumes in keeping with the theme.
(Usually about half the audience and almost the entire orchestra come in
costume.) Each concert has a theme (like 2002's "POPS on Broadway," 1995's
"POPS Plays the '40s," or 2003's "POPS—Dreams of California"). |

TBA - Tri-Valley Repertory Theater Show to be Announced Due to royalty restrictions, they cannot announce the show name until August 15th. It is the winner of Eight Tony Awards out of thirteen nominations, including Best Musical. Ben Brantley of the New York Times said “this show is as sweet as a show
can be without promoting tooth decay. It succeeds in recreating the
pleasures of the old-fashioned musical comedy without seeming old-fashioned
by taking the infectious hooks and rhythms from period pop and R&B and
translating them into the big, bouncy sound that Broadway demands.” |
