The Winters Theatre Company will present a podcast featuring eight 10-minute plays with the theme of fathers and suns, starting on Sunday, June 20 Father’s Day and the first day of summer.
Each of the eight plays features a story about fathers, summer experiences or a combination of the two. Some of the stories may make audiences laugh, others may make them cry or sigh, but all of them feature thoughtful stories and voices to help celebrate the season.
Learn more about each of the featured plays on the Winters Theatre Company website at http://www.winterstheatre.org/2021-10-minute-play-festival/.

The Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre announces the online release of this year’s Davis Dance Project: “Stronger, Together … A Celebration of Our Community.”
This 24-minute video, set to music by Hank Lawson, is a series of 30-second shorts that “move” all around Davis and include not only dancers from the PTDT, but many people from the community including the Light Ballet Company, iDance Group, Acme Theatre Company, volunteers from STEAC, staff members from the Davis Senior Center, Bob Dunning and many more.
The first Davis Dance Project was held in 1997 and funded by an arts contract from the Davis Civic Arts Commission. It became an annual event produced by the PTDT that, for over two decades has both explored multiple facets of the art form while creating collaborative events for local dancers, choreographers, musicians, poets and more.

If you’re meandering around the UC Riverside campus and see a cockroach, it might have a connection to UC Davis distinguished professor Bruce Hammock.
This is a story of what might have been that never was and never will be and it all has to do with Hammock’s cockroaches.
Hammock, who holds a joint appointment with the UC Davis department of entomology and nematology and the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, remembers the scenario well.
While on the UC Riverside faculty, he worked on two cultures of very large roaches. One was the wingless Madagascar hissing cockroach, Gromphadorhina portentosa, and the other, the South American cave cockroach, Blaberus giganteus with “lovely translucent wings.”
