Tonight, June 16, at 8 p.m., the English singer/songwriter who is best known as the lead singer of the popular British band Graham Parker and The Rumour - with all original members – will be in concert at The Ridgefield Playhouse in support of their newest album, Mystery Glue, due out May 18.

The transition has been inspired by Anderson's desire to pursue a variety of artistic and choreographic projects, performances and collaborations without being tied to specific seasonal dates, venues and their attendant requirements. Prior to the discussions of the Company's future direction, founding Executive Director Elizabeth Reed had announced her retirement to the Board effective June 30, 2014 in order to devote more time to her family, and has now made her retirement public. The Company's 2014 season runs January 30 through May 11 in San Francisco and Walnut Creek. For more information about Company C Contemporary Ballet, visitwww.companycballet.org .
