Manual Cinema’s The 4th Witch
Thur Nov. 20, 7:30pm; Doors open 7:00pm
Laxson Auditorium
400 W. First St.
Manuel Cinema is an Emmy-winning performance collective and film/video company that takes a unique approach to film and live theatre. Their signature style blends handmade shadow puppetry, vintage overhead projectors, live-feed cameras and cinematic techniques with the actors in silhouette. And, it’s all witnessed without dialog or narration, instead, unfolding the story with live music. This latest creation is a fantastic tale that follows a young girl orphaned by the warlord Macbeth, escaping into a dark forest, rescued and then raised by one from a 3-pack of witches. The title, The 4th Witch, implies the outcome. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Tickets $49-$59, with discounts for Chico State students and youth. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
Meredith Edgar Trio + Sean Biggar + Max Minardi
Fri Nov. 21, 8:00pm
Winchester Goose
800 Broadway St.
Meredith Edgar (shown here) describes her music as “sad sultry songs with sweet smoky vox”. With strong jazz/vocal influences, it’s no surprise her day job is as a voice coach. And performing with her Trio completes the sultry, nightclub vibe. Joining the show is singer/songwriter Sean Biggar from the Bay Area. With guitar in tow, Sam delivers his melancholic blues and soulful country/western songs with folk & Americana flavors. Completing the solid night is Chico’s own Max Minardi, a singer-songwriter whose music leans into Americana/folk-pop/folk-rock. Tickets are $10 at the door. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.

Now this multi-instrumentalist (guitar, banjo, piano, drums) recording artist is planted in Nashville, epicenter for country talent. He knows his honky tonk and classic country, balancing it with a modern edge. Opening the show is Oregon’s Harlan (as in Harlan Rivers), performing his style of Americana with roots in country and classic rock. The show is Tackle Box’s annual kick-off for Thanksgiving week. Tickets, must be 21+ to attend. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
