Every month Paul and Juliette Valente bring us Kate’s Cafe Open Mic. Kate’s brings together a loyal audience and a new monthly curated roster of performers in a laid-back celebration of local and broader Marin County talent. Named in honor of beloved folk musician Kate Wolf, the night welcomes musicians of all genres, writers, poets, comedians, and singer-songwriters to share their work. You’ll catch familiar favorites who return several times a year, but there’s always someone new to discover—a fresh voice, a surprising sound,a hilarious new comic or poi- gnant written work. It’s a welcoming space for creativity and connection, perfect for a small-town evening. Come early, grab a seat, and soak in the magic of local art. If you’re interested in playing at Kate’s contact Juliette Valente - j.valente@ comcast.net or 415-488-9074. Each month the show is curated and set before the show date, so get on the list to perform at a future Kate’s Cafe.
with such luminaries as the Jefferson Airplane, the Mamas and Papas, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar, Simon and Garfunkel, the Who and a relatively unknown guitarist named Jimi Hendrix. Next up was their iconic performance at Woodstock in 1969 and the rest, as they say, is history. We think it’s incredibly appropriate that they will be joining us this year as part of our PeaceFest. Tickets are $25.

Saturday October 18, Time TBD Parachute Days
Our final major event for the Fall season is a brand new collaboration for us!! On Saturday October 18, 2025 out in the meadow at the San Geronimo Park Commons we will host Parachute Days. Many of you probably remem- ber Parachute Days, a curated series of concerts and other art happenings that took place for many years prior to Covid out at Love Field in Pt. Reyes. We are thrilled to be working with Gabe Korty, founder of Parachute Days and Folk Yeah Presents to help produce this event. In its new reimagined form, Korty will be producing several Parachute Days at different venues with proceeds from each concert going to a local non profit. The Community Center is grateful to be designated as one of these organizations to benefit from this really cool event. The bands and other details are still being fine tuned, but if prior Parachute Days are evidence, we know whatever this team brings to the table will be super cool, unique and unforgettable!

Step into a theater experience where your voice becomes the script. In this one- of-a-kind evening of improvisational performance, real stories from the audience come to life on stage—spontaneously and powerfully. Through the transformative lens of Playback Theatre, a team of skilled actors and musicians will listen deeply, then bring your true experiences to life using movement, metaphor, music, and dialogue. The theme, “Overcoming Challenges” invites stories of resil- ience, humor in hard times, unexpected moments of light, and the small triumphs that keep us going. Whether it’s a quiet inner struggle or a dramatic life shift, this is a space to share and wit- ness how joy and hardship can coexist—and even transform one another. No two shows are alike. Come as you are. Tell your story—or simply watch it unfold. Real stories. Real connection. Real-time theater.
