With humor, soaring energy, charm, and laser precise harmony, Sean Altman & Jack Skuller lead the audience on a concert journey through Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s teenage roots, their early success as a groovy folk act, their global dominance as hit-makers, and even some of Paul Simon’s solo career. This show features The Sound of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, I Am a Rock, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Cecilia, Hazy Shade of Winter, Feeling Groovy, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Kodachrome, and many more!

From Seinfeld writer Pat Hazell comes his newest one-man comedy about facing the past and forging the future. A permanent record holds your deepest secrets that could dramatically impact your life. Pat hilariously uncovers his own permanent record in this confessional night of humor, heart, and humanity. From his redacted baby book to a recorded "hit and run” where he was both the driver and the victim, Hazell opens the vault to all his faults, foibles and flaws for all to enjoy. Pat hired a professional opposition research company to look into him and is now forced to defend himself. He is not running for anything, but he seems to be running from something. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, we can laugh at him as he takes us on a high-speed chase down memory lane. This performance will kick off the new Onstage Comedy series at the Arts Center. For more information, please see the full-page description of our new comedy series.
