ROCK OF AGES @ Tacoma Little Theatre
Mar 3 @ 7:30 pm

University of Washington-Tacoma and TLT join forces!

Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues in the 1980s. A place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri, and the gang save the strip, and themselves, before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and more hold the answer.

Mariachi Los Camperos @ Pantages Theater
Mar 5 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Two-Time Grammy award winner, Mariachi Los Camperos was founded in 1961 by Natividad “Nati” Cano. The Mariachi “giant” and visionary leader played a fundamental role in the development of mariachi music in the United States by training and mentoring new generations of musicians. He was the first to take the mariachi performances out of customary locations such as cantinas and into concert halls where celebrities performed.

Nati Cano passed away in 2014 and left Mariachi Los Camperos, passing the leadership baton to Jesus “Chuy” Guzman, who has served as the musical director since 1992 after serving as Cano’s right-hand man for nearly three decades. Under Guzman’s direction, Los Camperos released a 2015 Grammy-nominated musical tribute to Nati Cano called: Tradición, Arte, y Pasión, giving Mariachi Los Camperos their 4th Grammy nominations. In 2018, Mariachi Los Camperos became the featured Mariachi act in the First Mariachi Opera “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna”, making their first presentation in New York City.
