Celebrating the American West
West Side Theatre
Newman, CA
Rosalie Sorrels is considered a matriarch of American folk music. She began her public career as a singer and collector of traditional folksongs in the late 1950s. During the early 1960s she left her husband and began traveling and performing at music festivals and clubs throughout the United States. Nanci Griffith chronicled this aspect of Rosalie's life with her song "Ford Econoline." Currently "retired," she still performs in select concerts and festivals. Her career of social activism, storytelling, teaching, learning, songwriting, collecting folk songs, performing, and recording has spanned six decades.
Poet Wendy Brown-Barry has lived in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in the Gold Rush-era town of Mariposa, CA since 1971. Her works have been published in newspapers and magazines, and she has helped organize the Cannonball Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Mariposa, CA since 1999.
Mick Vernon pens poems about his time spent in the saddle working cattle with the Dobbas outfit in the Sierras near Auburn, CA, and about other reflections of western life. He is the author of "The Lyrical Lawman Rides," a book of original cowboy poetry (and CD by the same title).
John Silveira lives in Hilmar, CA with his wife and family. He has been writing cowboy poetry for several years. He says, "I was told it was good for the soul, and found that to be true."
Note: Seating is cabaret style (table and chairs). About six chairs per table.
Events will typically have a two-tied ticketing scheme: Reserved Seating and General Admission.
RESERVED SEATING
This higher priced ticket guarantees a seat in the rows closer to the stage. Additionally, the seat is held (reserved) until the ticket holder arrives. As orders are placed, we manually assign best available seating on a first come, first saved basis. Adjusting for singles, couples, larger parties as necessary. About six people can sit comfortably at a table. Specific table or area seating requests will be considered and accommodated as best as possible. For better service, requests such as this should be relayed to us well in advance of the show. Please write us at seating@westsidetheatre.org.
GENERAL ADMISSION
