Dedicated over 70 years ago in downtown Santa Cruz, the Civic Auditorium remains a major pillar of the Santa Cruz Community. On alternate occasions since opening day, the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium has been a concert hall, sports arena, theater, ice skating rink, town hall, convention center, exhibition hall, dance hall, sound stage, banquet room, ceremonial hall, movie theater, Red Cross shelter

, graduation hall and more. The Civics’ seventy-plus years of service have reflected the growth and change in our community and in the world at large. To unravel the thread of Auditorium history is to journey a civic and cultural timeline of the latter half of the twentieth century. The Civic has hosted Eleanor Rosevelt, H.H. Dalai Lama, Coretta Scott King, Gloria Steinem, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley & the Wailers, and Bonnie Raitt to name just a few. The building is home to the nationally recognized Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, the Santa Cruz County Symphony, and the Santa Cruz Follies benefiting senior programs.

As we’re forced to say goodbye to one of our most brilliant, hilarious and beloved shows, , I want to thank Stephen and his incredible team for the eleven years of astonishing gifts they’ve given us all. How insane that the number one show in that time slot is being booted off the air because some in power can’t take a joke or alternative points of view.

Here’s hoping that after a wee, well-deserved break, you’ll find a way to once again illuminate and delight us in an exciting new chapter. We need you more than ever.

Thanks also for your kindness in having us on your show and for showcasing the incredible talents of both and and their bands. What an honor for us all.

God bless and til next time, here’s to us all still speaking our truths to power ~
