Kuumbwa Jazz and Santa Cruz Shakespeare Presents A WINTER'S TALE REMIX

A co-presentation by Kuumbwa Jazz and Santa Cruz Shakespeare, A Winter's Tale Remix is a melding of theatre and jazz. In this production, Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale receives a reimagining by Santa Cruz Shakespeare actor Tommy Gomez and the Le Boeuf Brothers, an acclaimed jazz ensemble with local roots. This co-presentation supports the nonprofit education programs of both Santa Cruz Shakespeare and Kuumbwa Jazz.

Kuumbwa Jazz provides opportunities for residents and visitors in the Santa Cruz area to enjoy and appreciate the full spectrum of jazz music through live performance and education - presenting extraordinary regional, national and international musicians and providing educational programs for people of all ages.
