NextStage is excited to produce our first event at The 418 Project in downtown Santa Cruz. Here is a little information about the theater.

Founded by dancer Rita Rivera in 1993, The 418 Project has been a multi-disciplinary, artist-driven collective and place maker for over 30 years. Dislocated by downtown redevelopment, The 418 Project gathered community support and purchased the former Riverfront Theater during the Covid pandemic.

Our Singer Songwriter Showcase will be in the Small Theater, which has plush, comfortable theater seating. Paid parking is available nearby at next door in the 2 story city parking lot. Or take the bus - it stops right in front of the theater!

Featuring:
Dan Frechette
Debbie Nargie-Brown
Mark Bradlyn
Rachel Anne Goodman
Glenn MacPherson
Nancy Cassidy

January 31, 4pm
The 418 PROJECT (former Riverfront Theater)
155 River Street, Santa Cruz
