8-19September 8, 2009 - January 19, 2009
There's a Mystery There: Sendak on Sendak,
Contemporary Jewish Museum, 736 Mission Street,
San Francisco, Admission
On the eve of the release of Spike Jonze's interpretation of Maurice
Sendak's classic, Where the Wild Things Are, The wonderful
Contemporary Jewish Museum is featuring an exhibit of Sendak's
works from the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia, the go-to
repository for Sendak's life work. Maurice Sendak has written or
illustrated more than 100 picture books over his 60-year career. A
number of those books, including Where the Wild Things Are, In
the Night Kitchen, and Chicken Soup with Rice, inspired
generations of children and changed the landscape of picture
books. Included in the exhibition are original watercolors,
preliminary sketches, drawings, and dummy books from more
than 40 of Sendak's books, all from the Rosenbach Museum and
Library in Philadelphia, the repository for Sendak's artwork and
working materials. This major retrospective sheds light on the
many mysteries of his life and art by exploring the intensely
personal undercurrents in his work; and it does so using Sendak's
own words, insights, and remarkable stories. The exhibition
explores a number of different aspects of Sendak's books
including his child characters, monsters, literary and artistic
influences, and the settings of his stories. Visitors will delve into
the hidden nuances and personal secrets within Sendak's work
through exclusive interviews with the artist on digital touch screens
throughout the exhibition. As Sendak himself said in one such
interview, "When you hide another story in a story, that's the story I
am telling the children." These hidden stories within Sendak's
work form the core experience of There's a Mystery There.
Come for the exhibit and stay for this beautiful space. Maybe check
out the Yerba Buena Garden's Festival in October during the Target
Family Day.

Tolay Lake Fall Festival, Tolay Lake Regional Park,
Sonoma, FREE with $6 parking fee (or FREE with
Parks Pass)
This is one of our favorite Fall festivals - fun, non commercial, lots
of cool stuff to explore, and a hay ride up to their pumpkin patch
(OK, so maybe the patch itself is a mown field with pumpkins
strewn around, but the ride is breathtaking and fun).
For many years, families used to come to the Cardoza Ranch at
this time of year to buy pumpkins. When they sold their enormous
ranch to the county, they decided to retain the tradition (thank
goodness). Better yet, Sonoma County has expanded on the
tradition and has created a wonderful event with a Native American
village with tule boat making demonstrations, a “Nighttime
Creatures”; barn, dioramas of local animals, and of course all the
things you come to expect at a fall festival: straw mazes, pumpkins
for sale, hands-on kids activities, hay rides, animals, games, For
details and a downloadable map, visit http://www.sonoma-county.

riding. It is like Cirque du Soleil minus the Vegas production
values plus a great deal of charm and the feeling that you are part
of the show. We love these shows. For details, visit http://www.
redwoodcity.org/events/zoppe.html. To find out more on the
Zoppe Family Circus, visit their website at http://zoppe.net/ (You

16Friday, October 16th
6:30p.m. Berkeley Repertory Theatre Presents a Teen
Council Teen Night: Tiny Kushner, Berkeley
Repertory Theater, 2071 Addison Street, Berkeley,
$10
For Kids grades 9-12, the Target Teen Night at the Berkeley Rep is
a wonderful treasure for High School Kids with any sort of interest
in theater –either as an audience member or as a participant.
Teen Night gives Bay Area teens the opportunity to attend the first
preview of a Berkeley Rep play for an extremely discounted price,
with dinner and a behind-the-scenes workshop before the show.
This month’s event is the world premiere of Tony Award winning
playwright, Tony Kushner's new series of short scripts by the
singular Tony Kushner. The legendary playwright returns to
Berkeley Rep to team up with Artistic Director Tony Taccone, who
also staged Angels in America, Brundibar, Homebody/Kabul and
Slavs! Travel to the moon—and to the afterlife—with Laura Bush,
Nixon’s analyst, the queen of Albania and a host of real-life tax
evaders, all adrift in an increasingly fragile world. Kushner brings
his brilliance and humor to bear in a sparkling string of one-act
plays—and his gilded language is guided, as always, by an
unwavering moral compass.
RSVPs Required teencouncil@berkeleyrep.org More info on this
event and other Teen Council events can be found here: http:

There's a Mystery There: Sendak on Sendak,
Contemporary Jewish Museum, 736 Mission Street,
San Francisco, Admission
On the eve of the release of Spike Jonze's interpretation of Maurice
Sendak's classic, Where the Wild Things Are, The wonderful
Contemporary Jewish Museum is featuring an exhibit of Sendak's
works from the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia, the go-to
repository for Sendak's life work. Maurice Sendak has written or
illustrated more than 100 picture books over his 60-year career. A
number of those books, including Where the Wild Things Are, In
the Night Kitchen, and Chicken Soup with Rice, inspired
generations of children and changed the landscape of picture
books. Included in the exhibition are original watercolors,
preliminary sketches, drawings, and dummy books from more
than 40 of Sendak's books, all from the Rosenbach Museum and
Library in Philadelphia, the repository for Sendak's artwork and
working materials. This major retrospective sheds light on the
many mysteries of his life and art by exploring the intensely
personal undercurrents in his work; and it does so using Sendak's
own words, insights, and remarkable stories. The exhibition
explores a number of different aspects of Sendak's books
including his child characters, monsters, literary and artistic
influences, and the settings of his stories. Visitors will delve into
the hidden nuances and personal secrets within Sendak's work
through exclusive interviews with the artist on digital touch screens
throughout the exhibition. As Sendak himself said in one such
interview, "When you hide another story in a story, that's the story I
am telling the children." These hidden stories within Sendak's
work form the core experience of There's a Mystery There.
Come for the exhibit and stay for this beautiful space. Maybe check
out the Yerba Buena Garden's Festival in October during the Target
Family Day.

Tolay Lake Fall Festival, Tolay Lake Regional Park,
Sonoma, FREE with $6 parking fee (or FREE with
Parks Pass)
This is one of our favorite Fall festivals - fun, non commercial, lots
of cool stuff to explore, and a hay ride up to their pumpkin patch
(OK, so maybe the patch itself is a mown field with pumpkins
strewn around, but the ride is breathtaking and fun).
For many years, families used to come to the Cardoza Ranch at
this time of year to buy pumpkins. When they sold their enormous
ranch to the county, they decided to retain the tradition (thank
goodness). Better yet, Sonoma County has expanded on the
tradition and has created a wonderful event with a Native American
village with tule boat making demonstrations, a “Nighttime
Creatures”; barn, dioramas of local animals, and of course all the
things you come to expect at a fall festival: straw mazes, pumpkins
for sale, hands-on kids activities, hay rides, animals, games, For

values plus a great deal of charm and the feeling that you are part
of the show. We love these shows. For details, visit http://www.

Zoppe Family Circus, visit their website at http://zoppe.net/ (You

6:30p.m. Berkeley Repertory Theatre Presents a Teen
Council Teen Night: Tiny Kushner, Berkeley
Repertory Theater, 2071 Addison Street, Berkeley,
$10
For Kids grades 9-12, the Target Teen Night at the Berkeley Rep is
a wonderful treasure for High School Kids with any sort of interest
in theater –either as an audience member or as a participant.
Teen Night gives Bay Area teens the opportunity to attend the first
preview of a Berkeley Rep play for an extremely discounted price,
with dinner and a behind-the-scenes workshop before the show.
This month’s event is the world premiere of Tony Award winning
playwright, Tony Kushner's new series of short scripts by the
singular Tony Kushner. The legendary playwright returns to
Berkeley Rep to team up with Artistic Director Tony Taccone, who
also staged Angels in America, Brundibar, Homebody/Kabul and
Slavs! Travel to the moon—and to the afterlife—with Laura Bush,
Nixon’s analyst, the queen of Albania and a host of real-life tax
evaders, all adrift in an increasingly fragile world. Kushner brings
his brilliance and humor to bear in a sparkling string of one-act
plays—and his gilded language is guided, as always, by an
unwavering moral compass.
RSVPs Required teencouncil@berkeleyrep.org More info on this
event and other Teen Council events can be found here: http:
