JAY SI PROOF
Part time serious, full time funky. Jeff Chilton is Jay Si and the Proof is in the pudding.
Jay Si Proof is an explosion of funk with unhinged, audacious, and joyous energy! There are no walls between performer and audience at a Jay Si Proof show, there are no boundaries between acquaintances, friends and strangers. Teetering between funk anthems, entirely improvised disco bangers, and sentimental lo-fi grooves, Jay Si Proof is as much an experience as it is a concert.
At the bright eyed and naive age of 22, Jeff Chilton road an Amtrak train from Ithaca, NY to Portland, OR with naught but a trombone at his side, an acoustic guitar on his back and a dream in his heart: to figure out the FUNK of it! Since then, Chilton has become a veteran of the music industry touring the world aboard Royal Caribbean ships, performing with Broken Social Scene’s Pickathon performance, and adding his horn to Motown legends The Diamonds and The Platters. Chilton has toured the nation with psychedelic rockers Super Secret Band, written and recorded on countless PNW records (Family Worship Center, Family Mystic, Bodhi Mojo) and performed countless weddings, block parties, and festivals.

Fridays & Saturdays at 7pm | Sundays at 2pm | May 8–23
In the heart of a small Missouri town, Ruth Hoch has landed the role of a lifetime: Joan of Arc in the local community theater’s production of Saint Joan. But when her employer, the powerful owner of the town’s cheese factory, is killed in what everyone calls a hunting accident, Ruth can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong.

As she digs deeper, she finds a community more comfortable with comfortable lies than with dangerous truth. Neighbors close ranks. Secrets multiply. And Ruth, like the saint she’s been cast to play, must decide how far she’s willing to go for what she knows is right.

Winner of the American Theater Critics Association Award for Best New Play, Book of Days is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson at the height of his powers. a razor-sharp, deeply American thriller that weaves murder mystery, community drama, and moral reckoning into a single unforgettable evening.

“Wilson sees the world clearly and represents it without grudge-bearing or edulcoration, and keeps the play moving forward with unflagging vivacity in plot and subplots alike.” — John Simon, New York Magazine

“A wonderfully executed black comedy that burrows slowly beneath the cherry surface of contemporary American small-town life, and down into the darker impulses that underpin it. You don’t know whether to laugh or be appalled by much of what you see, so you laugh and are appalled.” — Alistair Highet, Hartford Advocate

“A significant addition to the Lanford Wilson canon… combines Wilson’s signature character-based whimsy with an atypically strong narrative and politically charged underpinnings.” — Chris Jones, Variety

“Lively storytelling by one of our best playwrights.” — Lawrence DeVine, Detroit Free Press
