The Old Maid and The Thief
The UUCCSM music program presents The Old Maid and the Thief by Gian Carlo Menotti - a 1939 comedic American opera in one act that tells a twisted tale of manipulation and deceit. It is one of the earliest operas composed specifically for performance over the air. Menotti is probably best known for his classic Christmas opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors". This production will be performed in live radio opera format in the sanctuary, featuring singers Babatunde Akinboboye, Jennifer Miller, VanNessa Hulme, and Gabriel Paredes, and special guest announcer Alex Chadwick, public radio personality and former NPR host. Foley and sound production will be provided by Richard Scher, Rima Snyder and Norb Gallery. Proceeds will go to the church music program. The suggested donation is $15, free parking is available at the UCLA lot on 16th below Arizona Ave. Please come enjoy this musical evening, and bring a friend! Contact Director of Music DeReau Farrar for more details.

Camp de Benneville Pines Weekend
Each year, UUCCSM members and friends flock to Camp deBenneville Pines, an idyllic rustic paradise two hours east of Santa Monica (if you leave at the right time on Friday) for a weekend of reveling in nature, ping pong tournaments, dam building, s'mores, tie-dying and sing-along versions of every ‘60s song you know (or don’t).
New this year, we have DeReau Farrar (UUSM music director) and our choir section leaders inspiring us with music and wine pairing!
You are invited to join us! Singles, couples and families young and old enjoy clean mountain air, lots of activities, great camp food and fellowship. Rustic heated cabins are clean and comfortable, with indoor plumbing and hot showers, for "roughing it, gently". And now we have paved roads!
To sign up, download our registration form. Prices start at $145/person for adults, $85/person for kids and $110 for teens, and that includes all food and activities for the weekend!
Also this year, we’re offering a limited number of financial aid "camperships" for those who need it. If that's your situation, your camp fee is just half-price (down to a slight $73 per adult), and FREE for kids/teens. Or alternately, if you're flush with cash, you could contribute to the campership pot, which'd help even more campers make it to deBenneville in September. A full camp is a happy camp and we aim to be very happy.
