Greig Coetzee in
The Actors Co-Operative Production of
White Men with Weapons and
The Blue Period of Milton Van der Spuy
Acclaimed at Lincoln Center and the Edinburg Fringe, South African actor/writer Greig Coetzee brings two of his sensational, award-winning one-person shows to Carnival Center's intimate Studio Theater. Whether bitterly funny in as a military draftee during the fall of Apartheid in White Men with Weapons or bittersweet as Milton van der Spuy, a would-be genius with more ambition than talent and with murder on his mind, Coetzee is a theatrical tour de force and not to be missed!

Arturo Sandoval
The Trumpet's Journey Through Cuban Rhythms
A part of the Carnival Center – Chivas Regal Jazz Series
A brilliant trumpeter and bandleader, "Arturo Sandoval is the sort of virtuoso artist who comes along only once or twice in a generation (The Guardian)." Sandoval's playing is spectacular, whether in an Afro-Cuban groove or tearing up a bebop tune. This Miami native's explosive mixture of jazz, classical, rock and traditional Cuban music is simply sensational.

Christmas Time Is Here
A part of the Carnival Center – Chivas Regal Jazz Series

In The End of Cinematics actors and images merge and collide to a Beatles-influenced- hip-hop-flavored -electronica- popping soundtrack.

"In this piece I pay homage to the excess parts of me that have been there for such a long time."
