The Mother
Written by Bertolt Brecht

JUNE 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29
Brecht utilizes narrative, irony, the juxtaposition of self-proclaimed "truths" to reveal their flaws, the concretizing of complex ideas into dramatic events, an understanding and simple presentation of human behavior, and a comedic optimism that things can be changed and that reason and common sense will overcome fear and superstition.

Modesto Performing Arts - Grease
With the sun-kissed summer of 1958 nearing its end, Danny, a sweet American boy, and Sandy, a straight laced Aussie girl, exchange vows of everlasting devotion and part ways, seemingly forever. However, an unexpected change of plans reunites the young dreamers at the bustling Rydell High for the new term; only, this year, something has changed. As once-cute Danny turns into the cocky leader of the riotous T-Birds greaser gang, having no choice but to maintain his hard-earned reputation in front of his friends and classmates, nothing can prepare him for second first impressions. Because The Pink Ladies, Rydell's high spirited all-girl band of lipstick rebels, have planned a big surprise for the leather-clad Casanova. Is a radical transformation the only way to win Danny back?

LED ZEPAGAIN: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Page Says, “It’s as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal”
Celebrating 33 years, Sony recording artists, Led Zepagain is the longest-standing tribute to “the world’s greatest band”, replicating the ultimate Led Zeppelin experience. From the high-energy electric classics to the beautiful acoustic works, you will be mesmerized as LED ZEPAGAIN resurrects Page’s soaring guitar leads, Jones’ brilliant keyboard passages, Bonham’s trademark pounding rhythms and the signature Robert Plant vocals. As you experience immortal classics “Stairway to Heaven”, “Immigrant Song”, “Whole Lotta Love” “Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Black Dog”, you’ll understand why Led Zepagain has become highly regarded as the most authentic representation of Led Zeppelin in the world today.
With well over a million downloads on iTunes to their credit, Led Zepagain’s popularity has also seeped into pop culture by having been mentioned on the network TV shows “The Gilmore Girls”, “Chicago Fire” and “Bad Judge”!
In January of 2004, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page himself attended a Led Zepagain show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. He was absolutely astonished at the band’s accuracy stating “It’s amazing how much you sound like us. You must have grown up on this because you were inside the music, and you paid attention to detail in your presentation…I can tell you guys really love our music!”
This encounter led to the members of Led Zepagain attending Led Zeppelin’s 2007 Reunion Concert at London’s O2 Arena by invitation of Mr. Page as well as a surprise visit from Jason Bonham in March of 2009 as he sat in with the band on their encore performance of the song “Rock and Roll”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w6noToYSqQ
Led Zepagain was honored to have been featured on AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” in 2014 and were asked to come back for an encore performance in March of 2017 to perform the iconic Led Zeppelin “lV” album in its entirety.
LED ZEPAGAIN regularly performs to packed houses all over the world. From the sound, the look, and the vintage equipment, Led Zepagain will be the closest thing that you will ever see to a live Led Zeppelin performance! Come on out and see what Jimmy Page was talking about.
For more about LED ZEPAGAIN please visit www.zepagain.com.

Steve Trevino: Good Life Tour
Comedian Steve Treviño is “America’s Favorite Husband.” He can “speak wife fluently,” he never calls “the guys” for help on a home project, and he knows better than to “make his own decisions,” since decision-making is a privilege reserved solely for his wife, Renae.
His relatable approach affirms his status as one of the country’s fastest-rising comics, viewed over 223 million times, selling out shows coast-to-coast, amassing over 2 million total social media followers, and headlining specials for Amazon, NETFLIX, Showtime, and more.
He started cutting his teeth in Dallas, Texas, working as a door guy at the Improv and earning himself a spot to open the iconic 2001 Three Amigos Comedy Tour. He quickly earned his stripes and an audience on the comedy club circuit, and he began headlining on his own by the age of 25. He delivered side-splitting performances on The Late Late Show and Comics Unleashed, and produced and wrote for international GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar Pitbull’s La Esquina.
His first Showtime special, Grandpa Joe’s Son, staked out a spot in the Nielsen Top 20. He funded, produced, and shot his 2014 runaway NETFLIX hit Relatable. To promote the special, he uploaded a clip titled “When Your Wife Comes Home From Shopping.” It exploded, generating 56 million views on Facebook alone and paving the way for heavily shared clips such as “When YouAsk Your Wife If She Wants McDonald’s” (21 million views) and “When Going to Vegas With Your Wife Goes Wrong” (4 million views). Co-produced by Nacelle, the follow-up special, Steve Trevino ’Til Death, arrived in 2018. Steve maintained his momentum by broadening his social media presence through fans redoing bits of his comedy specials and posting them to TikTok. In less than two years, that grassroots effort helped him build a worldwide fanbase on the platform from the ground up, amassing 4.8 million likes and over 50 million views on the platform, while also changing up his entire social media game.
In 2020, he and his wife, Renae, unveiled a joint weekly podcast entitled “Steve Treviño and Captain Evil,” that has generated over 1.5 million views/streams and is now in Season 3. He also filmed his fourth self-produced comedy special, My Life in Quarantine, which was picked up by Amazon Prime. The once-in-a-lifetime pandemic special was shot in front of a masked, socially distant crowd and focused on the ups and downs of getting through quarantine.
He regularly raises money for Helicopters for Heroes, an organization benefiting veterans, for whom he helped raise over $1.5 million in the past two years.
Steve’s self produced fifth special filmed in Waco, Texas, entitled I Speak Wife, independently released on Friday, October 21, for free exclusively to his global audience on YouTube.

ELVIS: In Person ~ Starring Matt Stone
ELVIS Will Be In The Building At The State Theatre!
On June 6th, Matt Stone & The Graceland Band are coming to rock Modesto in a massive celebration of the King of Rock ’n’ Roll!
Named by Graceland and the Elvis Presley Estate as one of the Top Elvis Tribute Artists on the planet, Matt Stone is seen by many as performing one of the most authentic Elvis concerts in the world!
He has even earned the approval of Elvis’ friends and family, who have said:
“When I heard [Matt]… now if I close my eyes that’s Elvis. It touched my heart. The only person I ever heard sing like that was my brother, and [Matt] was real close—SCARY— that’s how close it was.” – Billy Stanley (Elvis’ Step Brother)
“Matt is incredibly gifted & handsome, with incredible energy and sex appeal.” – Joyce Bova (Longtime Elvis Girlfriend)
Matt has even been heard on SiriusXM’s ELVIS RADIO!
With most fans being endlessly disappointed by cheesy Elvis impersonators, this nationally-acclaimed concert is changing the game, presenting the closest thing any Elvis fan has seen to the King since ELVIS HIMSELF!

Creedence Revelation
Returning to The State Theatre!
The presentation by Randy Linder and his band as a tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival, is second to none. They have entertained audiences from California to New York with the
beloved hits that came from CCR between the years of 1968
and 1972 and a few of John Fogertys’ solo hits.
Randy has attained National and International status
since developing this salute to John Fogerty and CCR in the year 2000. Past performances include several
Las Vegas engagements, shows in Guam and a show in Mexico with an audience of 14,000 CCR fans. Randy’s authenticity shines through with the visual resemblance,
the voice, the lead guitar style and even the rockin’ blues harp played by John Fogerty in some of those early CCR hits. You will walk away from this show having absorbed the energy of a full-blown Rock N Roll concert and with a renewed interest in a singer/songwriter who played a huge roll in shaping American Music Culture.
Please come witness an authentic Creedence Clearwater
Revelation and rare northern California appearance with songs just like you remember!

Alexis Prigo
An executive assistant by day and one of the funniest young female comedians in the country, Alexis Prigo has had talent and the spotlight in her blood all her life.

Dusty Slay: The Night Shift Tour
Long hair, tobacco, over-sized glasses and a trucker hat, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. He grew up the son of a single mom in an Alabama trailer park and evokes laughs about everything from Cracker Barrel to his aversion to soap. The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since.
Dusty also has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has a Comedy Central special to his credit and just released his first hour-long Netflix special, "Workin' Man," filmed about three hours from home, at the Bijou Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee. With almost 20 years of eliciting guffaws through his laidback observations, comedic cadence and conversational style, Dusty is just getting started bringing his brand of relatable working-class comedy to audiences coast to coast.

COMEDY TO THE RESCUE! – Benefit for Saving Lives Animal Rescue
Clay Foley loves being a comedian. Whether he’s poking fun at his elderly parents or blithely recounting his decade as an animal cruelty investigator, Clay’s eyes say, “Can you believe we’re doing this?” That gratitude – alongside clever punchlines, inventive props, and a compelling stage presence – has earned Clay a spot among the country’s most interesting comics.
Clay’s passion project, Comedy to the Rescue, is the culmination of his years working in animal welfare and those in stand-up comedy. The tour spans the country raising funds for local pet charities.
Comedy to the Rescue is a series of stand-up fundraisers benefiting homeless pets. The tour features comedian Clay Foley, former cruelty investigator and avid animal rescuer. Each Comedy to the Rescue event benefits a local animal charity. Proceeds from this show will assist Saving Lives Animal Rescue.
Saving Lives Animal Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization serving Stanislaus County and surrounding areas. The rescue takes in stray and abandoned cats and dogs, provides them with socialization, food and veterinary care, and rehomes them with families in California and Nevada looking for pets to love. The rescue, formed during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, rescues and rehomes an average of 350 cats and dogs each year
Clay lives in Illinois with his wife and an ever-growing cast of dogs and cats. When not touring, he writes and produces his weird news program, Foley Informed.
Doors at 6; show at 7 p.m.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - Gallo Center Repertory Company
This smash hit musical comedy is a funny D-E-L-I-G-H-T!
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. An eclectic group of six kids vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, with additional material by Jay Reiss. Music and Lyrics by William Finn. Book by Rachel Sheinkin.
Directed by Ryan Foy, with Music Direction by Jamie Johns.
