The taking of photographs or use of recording devices is strictly prohibited. 7 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS 8 Walnut 605 Fwy Expect the unexpected with THE FLYING KARAMAZOV BROTHERS IN 4 PLAY. The selfproclaimed eccentric “lunatics” spice things up with a zany showcase filled with the astonishing juggling feats, laughout-loud comedy, and wild theatrics that have taken them to Broadway, television, and the big screen. What started as a street act in 1970s San Francisco has grown into a phenomenon that has toured to mass appeal throughout America and Europe. Members of The Flying Karamazov Brothers don’t actually fly in their routines, but everything else does – in sweeping, gravity-defying arcs: swords, apples, torches, fish, windy philosophies, theatrics, and jokes. “Imagine a quartet of master jugglers, multi-instrument musicians, circus clowns, improv comics, esoteric satirists, and playful techno-wizards who tap dance,” said the Los Angeles Times, and it all becomes “magically indescribable.” The juggling is “infectious,” hails The New York Times. “The flurry of pins that somehow never collide becomes more than a display of hard-earned skill and teamwork. In portraying a communal effort as sublime play, it evokes the utopian ideal of a group that has achieved a perfect understanding.” Known for consistently testing the laws of physics, The Flying Karamazov Brothers often invites members of the audience to contribute items for juggling. The group’s die-hard fans have been known to come prepared with odd items, including a baby carrier, cold cuts, pepperoni pizzas, and huge blocks of ice. Adept with a wide range of conventional instruments, The Flying Karamazov Brothers amps up the excitement by making its own music. The brothers use clubs that are adapted as percussion strikers to allow the troupe to play drums and marimba phones without breaking juggling patterns. The Flying Karamazov Brothers’ wild and physically demanding antics won the ensemble a 1981 Obie Award for “Outstanding Achievement in the Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway Theatre” and a 2004 “Award of Excellence” from the International Jugglers’ Association. The group has appeared on the television sitcoms Seinfeld and Ellen and in the film The Jewel of the Nile. n Bellflower BIOGRAPHY Cafe Camellia 91 Fwy CCPA SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS presents RUBEN STUDDARD and MORRIS DAY & THE TIME Saturday, February 4, 2012, 8:00 PM There will be one 20-minute intermission.

His 2004 chart-topping album I Need an Angel was selected the No. One “Gospel Album of the Year” by Billboard. The Return album sent the crooner back to the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Studdard, honored with the NAACP’s Image Award for “Best New Artist” in 2004, was nominated that same year for the American Music Award for “Favorite Male Soul/R&B Artist” and a Grammy for “Best Male R&B Performance.” A Minneapolis-based band that Prince propelled to prominence in the early 1980s, MORRIS DAY & THE TIME created a dance sensation with The Bird and kept the groove going with its funky R&B sound in hit singles such as Get It Up, Cool (Part 1), 777-9311, Wild and Loose, Gigolos Get Lonely Too, Jerk Out, and the all-time classic Jungle Love. Childhood friends and bandmates Morris Day and Prince attained cult-status stardom as rivals in the 1984 films Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge, which captured the exploding Minneapolis music scene at its peak. “The Time’s songs are loose in spirit and taut musically,” hails The New York Times. Called “the breezy, preening hipster who personifies the swagger and rollicking spirit of The Time’s funky R&B music” by the Los Angeles Times, Day has released several solo albums – The Color of Success, Daydreaming, and Guaranteed – which have collectively sold more than 10 million copies. n 9 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS presents LORRIE MORGAN & PAM TILLIS GRITS AND GLAMOUR TOUR Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 8:00 PM This performance will not include an intermission.

The Stepsisters drag Father from the room. Cinderella begins sweeping as ordered and takes a picture of her deceased mother from its hiding place and gazes at it longingly. Her Father returns and is overcome with remorse when he sees the resemblance between Cinderella and his first wife. His daughter lovingly tries to console him, but they are dragged apart by the Stepsisters and the picture is taken from them. Suddenly, the door opens and an old woman enters begging. The Stepmother hands her the picture of Cinderella’s mother to get rid of it, but the woman sees the resemblance to Cinderella and hands it to her. Cinderella offers the woman some bread, which she accepts and then departs. A dressmaker and wigmaker arrive to adorn the Stepsisters for the Ball, followed by a dancing master who attempts the impossible task of teaching the Stepsisters the rudiments of dancing. The family leaves for the Ball without Cinderella. She tries to assuage her loneliness by pretending that the kitchen broom is her partner at the Ball, but the pretense is too much for her and she bursts into tears. At this moment, the old woman returns and changes into a beautiful Fairy Godmother. She transforms the kitchen into a forest, complete with dragonflies swooping among the trees. The Fairy Godmother gives Cinderella a pair of glass slippers and the Fairies of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter perform for her; changing the seasons as they dance. Cinderella’s rags become a beautiful gown. The Fairy Godmother shows her a clock and warns her that at midnight, the magic gown will change back into rags. She then transforms a pumpkin and four lizards into a coach and horses, and Cinderella is driven to the Ball like a princess. ACT II The Palace At the Palace, a Jester welcomes the arriving guests, who are all somewhat taken aback by the Stepsisters. The Prince enters and greets the assembly, then gallantly invites each of the Stepsisters in turn to dance with him, much to the amusement of the guests. At this moment, the Ball is interrupted by the arrival of Cinderella in her coach, and the Prince immediately falls in love with her. The guests are offered oranges – the rarest food to be had – and when one of the Stepsisters is left without one, Cinderella gives up her own, without the Stepsister realizing her identity. While the Prince and Cinderella are dancing together, the clock strikes midnight. Cinderella’s clothes turn to rags and she rushes from the ballroom. The Prince cannot restrain her. He finds one of the glass slippers, which she has lost in her haste. 18 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS INTERMISSION ACT III Cinderella’s House Back in the kitchen, Cinderella remembers the Ball as if it was a beautiful dream, but finds the remaining glass slipper in one of her pockets. She quickly hides it as the Stepsisters return, proudly displaying the oranges the Prince gave them. The Stepmother announces the arrival of the Prince with his Jester and courtiers in search of the owner of the glass slipper. Each of the Stepsisters in turn vainly tries to squeeze an oversized foot into the tiny slipper. When the Prince notices Cinderella sitting shyly by the fire, he asks her father if she may try it on. As she moves to do so, the second slipper falls from her pocket. In spite of Cinderella’s ragged appearance, the Prince is overjoyed and asks her to marry him. Cinderella forgives her Stepmother and Stepsisters for their cruelty. As the Prince returns the glass slipper to the Fairy Godmother, the kitchen is transformed into a magic glade where Cinderella and her Prince dance a romantic pas de deux. The guests return to celebrate their new Princess at her betrothal. BIOGRAPHIES MOSCOW FESTIVAL BALLET was founded in 1989 by the legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Radchenko. He brought together the highest Classical elements of the Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian Classical Ballet. Under Radchenko’s direction, leading dancers from across Russia have forged an exciting new company staging new productions of timeless classics such as Giselle, Don Quixote, Paquita, and Carmen. Since its inception, the Moscow Festival Ballet has completed two tours of Europe with receptions in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands. Two tours of the United Kingdom, including capacity audiences at London’s Coliseum, have resulted in re-engagements during seasons 1995 through 2000. The company has performed at the Istanbul Festival (Turkey) and Athens Festival (Greece), and completed a two-month tour of Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In addition to commissioning new works from within Russia and abroad, the company specialized in 20th-century full-length Ballets such as Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, Leg- end of Love, Stone Flower, and The Golden Age. Radchenko has researched the original choreography and stage productions of several of Marius Petipa’s classic Ballets, including new productions in 2000 of Don Quixote and Paquita, and a re-creation of Jules Perrot’s and Jean Coralli’s Giselle. The Moscow Festival Ballet has toured extensively throughout the United States, beginning with a coast-tocoast tour in 1997 and returning in 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010. SERGEI RADCHENKO (Artistic Director) graduated from the Moscow School of Dance in 1964 and then joined the Bolshoi Ballet, where he worked for 25 years. He danced the entire repertoire at the Bolshoi, but enjoyed a special reputation for Spanish dance, particularly the role of the bullfighter in Carmen Suite. He is the founder and artistic director of the Moscow Festival Ballet and has achieved a remarkable feat in the establishment and development of this young, but great, Russian Ballet company. Radchenko presents a large number of master classes, inviting leading teachers from the Bolshoi and Mariinsky theaters to ensure the continuation of the rich traditions of the Russian Classical school. n 19 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS presents THE ASSADS SÉRGIO AND ODAIR ASSAD GUITARISTS Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 7:30 PM There will be one 20-minute intermission.

BIOGRAPHy Since their 1979 win at the Young Artists Competition in Bratislava, THE ASSADS have garnered worldwide acclaim for their diverse repertoire. Their innovative arrangements have mesmerized fans and won critics, prompting The New York Times to rave: “A kind of wizardry lies within the playing,” yielding a “supple, flawlessly unified sound.” Their works – which encompass Latin music of almost every kind and Sérgio Assad’s original pieces as well as his reworkings of Folk and Jazz music – are a compelling blend of styles, periods, and cultures. The duo’s Sérgio and Odair Assad Play Piazzolla won a Latin Grammy for “Best Tango Album.” The Jardim Abandonado record was nominated for “Best Classical Album” and showcased Sérgio Assad’s Latin Grammy-winning composition Tahhiyya li Ossoulina. In 2009, the Assads were featured on Yo-Yo Ma’s chart-topping release, Songs of Joy & Peace, which topped both the Classical and the mainstream Billboard charts and claimed a Grammy for “Best Classical Crossover.” n 21 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS presents HARMONY 3 Featuring RONNIE LAWS STANLEY JORDAN TOM BROWNE Friday, February 17, 2012, 8:00 PM There will be one 20-minute intermission. The taking of photographs or use of recording devices is strictly prohibited. 22 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS BIOGRAPHIES Three’s a charm in HARMONY 3, an exciting showcase of Jazz in action from one of the most successful trios in the genre. Sax legend Ronnie Laws is the man behind the hits Always There and All for You. Band mate Stanley Jordan earned a Grammy nomination for the Gold-selling album Magic Touch. Tom Browne has garnered prestigious Billboard honors for his Gold-status Jazz albums. A member of the popular Soul group Earth Wind & Fire, RONNIE LAWS has worked with Jazz luminaries such as pianist Walter Bishop Jr., organist Doug Cann, and Donald Byrd. Laws secured a place for himself in Jazz history with his debut album, Pressure Sensitive, which Billboard magazine called an “infectious” and “solid” debut. Laws followed up with the equally impressive albums Fever and Friends and Strangers. All three records were certified Gold. Laws’ non-traditional style of Jazz paved the way for his successful crossover into R&B, Soul, and Pop, scoring multiple awards for originality in the process. His repertoire includes the timeless hits Always There, Grace, Karmen, and Just Love. The Los Angeles Times hails, “‘Genius’ is a word too often tossed around in musical circles, but it has been applied rightfully to STANLEY JORDAN.” From the moment he made his debut with Magic Touch, the guitar guru has proven himself to be a forward-thinking innovator, with critics worldwide lauding his originality and creativity. Nominated for a “Best New Artist” Grammy in 1985, Jordan was also considered for a “Best Pop Single” Grammy for the title track to his edgy 1990 album, Cornucopia. Jordan’s solo guitar album, Standards Volume 1; Flying Home; and his latest, the groundbreaking State of Nature, have all garnered critical acclaim worldwide. A regular on the New York Jazz scene early on in his career, trumpet master TOM BROWNE has worked with the genre’s best and brightest, including Jimmy Nottingham, Richard Williams, Woody Shaw, and Freddie Hubbard. His performances as sideman to Jazz greats Weldon Irvine and Sonny Fortune earned Browne domestic and international recognition. Browne has dominated Jazz charts with a succession of hits, including Browne Sugar and the No. One R&B single Funkin’ for Jamaica, Thighs High, and Secret Fantasy from the Gold-albums Love Approach and Magic. Billboard honored Browne with awards for “Best Instrumentalist,” “Best Jazz Cross-Over,” and “Best Jazz Artist – Trumpet.” n Coming Soon to the CCPA Monica Mancini and Arturo Sandoval in Concert Kevin Johnson NETworks Presents Beauty and the Beast MozART Group The Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley Call (562) 916-8500 or visit us at www.cerritoscenter.com Bill Medley Your Favorite Entertainers, Your Favorite Theater 23 SEASON 24 CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS 25 SEASON CERRITOS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS TICKET BROKERS Tickets to all performances at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) are available exclusively through the theater’s Ticket Office and official website www.cerritoscenter.com. The CCPA does not work in conjunction with any other ticketing organizations or websites. Purchasing from a ticket broker, scalper, or unauthorized website is never a good idea because: • • • • • • You will always pay more than face value for each ticket. In many cases, the tickets you purchase from a broker are not as good as what is available directly through the CCPA Ticket Office. We cannot guarantee the authenticity of the tickets. In the event that there is an issue with your tickets or if they are found to be inauthentic, we cannot help you because you did not purchase the tickets from the theater; you will be asked to purchase new tickets to watch the performance or leave the premises. The face value on the tickets you are holding cannot be applied towards the purchase of new tickets. Ticket brokers often purchase wheelchair locations and sell them as regular seats. Not only does this practice prevent you from attending the performance, it also prevents us from selling these seats to patrons that do need wheelchair accessibility. We cannot replace any lost or stolen tickets. We cannot contact you with any information regarding show cancellations, performer lineup changes, or rescheduled events. All correspondence will be made to the original ticket purchaser who may not notify you of changes made to the performance. • Instead of supporting the performers and organizations that work hard to put on the events that you enjoy, you are rewarding people and businesses that only make it difficult for real fans like yourself from seeing your favorite performers without being charged a premium.
