Bolinas Bay Performing Arts Presents ” The Little Mermaid”
This film tells the story of Dolores Huerta, among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history.
An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century.

Kids age 3 and up are invited to learn fresh hip-hop choreography with the Alphabet Rockers’ dance instructor! We will be dancing to hip hop beats that keep us moving and grooving all summer!

The Bolinas Community Center Presents
Will Durst’s BOOMERAGING: FROM LSD TO OMG.
Door 6:30 pm Show 7:00 pm Tickets $12 Click here to purchase tickets
Cash Bar
The man the New York Times calls “quite possibly, the best political comedian working in the country today,” Will Durst, proudly takes to the road with his acclaimed show that has been running since 2013 in the Bay Area. “BoomeRaging: From LSD to OMG”, is an uproarious tribute to the joys, achievements, frustrations, and looming doom of the Baby Boom Generation. In this rollicking 85- minute monologue, Durst explains why his chronologically gifted brothers and sisters should continue to refuse to grow old in the face of gravity no matter how many times they forget their password retrieval question. It’s what happens when acid flashbacks meet dementia. A celebration of the maturation of the Boomer Nation: culminating in an extra, added special treat- the Meaning of Life.
Ably assisted by his genially acerbic wit and trusty overhead projector, Durst explores the Boomer revolutions, evolutions and still vibrant role in today’s youth obsessed society (which we invented, for crum’s sake). He shamelessly strokes egos and pats hands, encouraging the Flower Power Generation to persevere through segments entitled The Psychedelic Colonoscopy, Still Doing Drugs, Only Now There’s a Co- Pay & From the Summer of Love to the Winter of Our Incontinence. It’s funny. It’s smart. Clean and uplifting, even. A unique theatrical event delivered with stand- up timing and not less than a modicum of poetry.
Special Note: Due to the use of startlingly archaic technology, children under the age of 40 will not be admitted unless accompanied by a guardian or if they bring a note. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It is with great excitement we invite you to join us at the Community Center in Bolinas California for an evening of potent music to Celebrate Mariee Sioux’s album release and start calling in summer. This is open to the public and kid friendly! 🎶🦋
As people arrive we are inviting attendees (and performers) to take part a simple community alter building, bringing a flower/flowers and or small item (that you can take home with you after) that represents your ancestors or anything your are going through at this time be is lovely or difficult. Much of this evening will be about honoring our present moment in life, our ancestors and remembrance of who and where we come from.
To start this evening off we will have Southern California duo Parting Lines opening ✌🏾. This new project comprised of Tim Ramsey and Trevor Beld Jimenez is full of beautiful melodic twists n turns to get lost in and groove to! They are longtime members of the bygone Los Angeles folk-rock outfit, Tall Tales and the Silver Lining, and sidemen to bands Vetiver, Little Wings, and DIOS. Their debut LP, See You On The Other Side, was released on August 31, 2018 on Night Bloom Records and has upbeat and moving melodies that sometimes gives nods to Petty and Springsteen 🎶🎶.
Closing out the evening Mariee SiouxSioux will be performing her new record Grief in Exile in it’s entirety from start to finish with her backing ensemble, father Gary Sobonya on mandolin and fellow songwriters/producers, Kacey Johansing and Tim Ramsey who helped record the album, much of it actually in Bolinas spring of 2018. This will be a very special event to release this body of work in a place that has great significance to them all ♥. A few songs from the album even were written in Bolinas where Mariee spent much of her time over the past decade.
We would love for you to join us in the magic of this evening!
Thank you so much to all who that came out to support the Community Center! It was a beautiful day filled with community, dancing and BBQ.
Thank you to all our volunteers.
We couldn’t have done it without your hard work!

How to Improve Your Overall Well-Being in 2018
Photo via Pixabay
With the end of another year comes reflection, and for many, there’s always the question of whether we’re living our best lives or not. That means different things for different people, but in general, it comes down to your overall well-being. Are you stressed often, or do you suffer from anxiety? Do you find yourself exhausted much of the time and unable to find joy in the small things because you’re so tired?
It’s easy to fall into habits that leave you feeling this way, especially if you have work, school, a family, and other responsibilities to worry about. Some of those habits are otherwise harmless, such as keeping a full schedule, but when combined with other stressors, they can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to perform to the best of your ability. It’s time to think about the best ways you can eliminate bad habits and figure out how to successfully stay on track with your goals for the new year, as well as how to sustain them. Read on to find out how.
