Hello, residents and neighbors of Berkeley, CA. The staff of
Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley
hopes that you have had a happy spring so far. Can you believe that summer is
less than a month away? Where did the time go? Anyway, it is weekend event
time. Enjoy…
Whenever we have highlighted live stage presentations, they
are either adult-oriented (mature themes and language) or Saturday matinee
children’s theatre. We are happy to say that this week’s offering is one that
is suitable for all ages. The Live Oak Theatre is currently featuring “Over the
Tavern,” a family comedy written by Tom Dudzick, which tells of the trials and triumphs of the Pazinski family of
Buffalo, NY, circa the 1950s. The
performance is tonight at 8:00, and you may call (510) 649-5999 to
reserve tickets or order them by clicking here. The
Live Oak Theatre is located at 1301 Shattuck Ave. Does the address “Shattuck
Ave.” sound familiar? It should, because that is the street where we live. (If
you attend tonight’s performance, stop by and say “hi.” If you haven’t had your
eye exam yet, why not multitask and get one before show time?)
Are there any artists or crafters in today’s audience of
readers? If so, you will be very interested in what’s going on at the Fourth
& Clay Studio + Gallery early tomorrow night. Come and attend a live taping
of The Tales of a Red Clam Rambler podcast, as host Ben Carter interview Bay
Area artist Whitney Smith on how to successfully promote your artwork via
social media, and develop a solid online presence. This event, aptly titled,
“Crafting Your Story Through Social Media,” has seating availability for only
40 guests, so reserve your spot soon – like, now. Admission is only $10.00, so
call (510) 848-2390, or order online
here. Artists, make your way to the Fourth & Clay Gallery at 2370 Fourth
St. @ Channing Way (easy to remember, yes?), and discover some ideas on
marketing your work. (We look forward to seeing you on Pinterest, Facebook, and
any other platform you decide on!)
Aficionados of the piano, violin, classical music (or all
three), and culture vultures in general have a treat in store this Sunday
afternoon, when John Burke &
Michael Jones, Piano and Violin take the stage at the Maybeck Recital Hall. In
this small, intimate space at 1537 Euclid Ave., enjoy an afternoon of chamber
music featuring selections from Brahms, Mozart, and Bach. There is no set
admission price, but suggested donations of $15.00 ($10.00 for seniors and
students) are encouraged. Seating is limited, so make your reservations via the
Maybeck Studio for the Performing Arts
website or email info@maybeckstudio.org for more info.
(Sorry ladies and gentlemen, but we cannot find an available phone number.) The concert begins at 3:00, so please arrive
on time. Although this is an experience for the ears, your eyes will want to
see these musicians in action, so wear your glasses or contacts lenses.
Much abounds at this
time of May. (But then again, it’s Berkeley…where there is always something
going on. If you check out any of these events, enjoy! To learn about

Thanks for reading…enjoy the weekend…and keep your sites on
healthy vision.
