On Saturday February 23, at 8pm, the Open Gate Theatre will be celebrating it's 25th anniversary with a special concert performance at its base of ops, the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts.
Open Gate is a collective that has created a unique style and approach to the joining of the arts through the joining of creative artists: instrumentalists, clowns, singers, puppet/mask makers, dancers, and actors; writers, composers, choreographers, and visual artists. In their twenty-five years, OGT has produced over 280 concerts, premiered and created three Operas, three musical dramas, two Biblical Masques, and seven evening long dance dramas. OG has presented shows in Tokyo, New York City and Berlin.
The anniversary concert will feature work by the following artists: Pip Abrigo, Bill Casale, Alex Cline, Brad Dutz, Vinny Golia, Luke Hatanaka, Tuba Heatherton, Tobar Mayo, Christina Linhardt, George McMullen, Gloria Newton, Rika Ohara, William Roper, Mitsu Salmon and Will Salmon.
