ON! The Beginnings of the Electric Sound Generation focuses on the period between 1900 and 1965 when innovative thinkers such as Thaddeus Cahill, Leon Theremin, Lloyd Loar, Adolph Rickenbacker, George Beauchamp, Laurens Hammond, Alvino Rey, Leo Fender, Les Paul, and Paul Bigsby, worked to harness electrical energy to produce sounds and tones in a variety of electric and electro-acoustic musical instruments. Inspired by the advances in science and technology of the late 19th century, these innovators could see that electric sound production opened up vast array of new sound possibilities which could easily combine with the traditions of counterpoint, harmony, and rhythm. Ultimately, through the work of these and many others, the world witnessed the birth of new sounds and tones. And musicians, in addition to gaining a new sound palette, also gained the tools to carefully control their volume, to define their own sound and tone, and to achieve their own musical voice.

Back to the Eisenhower years of the 1950's with the Pazinski family. This warm and funny play is filled with the humanity of real people with real problems. As the four teenage kids question family values, coming of age, and the Roman Catholic Church, the parents try to guide and encourage while navigating their own issues. As we literally observe life, Over the Tavern, the play engages us because it portrays life with accuracy, affection and a resistance to overdoing sentimentality. A wonderfully affirming way to end our season. San Diego Premiere!
