Celebrate folk-rock trailblazers Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro when Rubicon Theatre Company presents BACK TO THE GARDEN, the fifth offering in this season’s Janet and Mark L. Goldenson Broadway Musical Concert Series. Challenged by the traditional images of women in the music industry, these prolific singer-songwriters paved the way for women in music, art and life and bravely explored territory outside the accepted confines of popular music. This energetic and soul-stirring concert directed by Amy Jones with musical direction by Debra Barsha stars Melissa Hammans, Shaleah Adkisson, Maddy Wyatt and Sue Terwilliger on guitar. Playing to sold-out theatres across the country, Back to the Garden plays in Ventura for only 3 performances on Saturday, August 20 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, August 21 at 2 p.m.

Says Hammans, “Challenged by the traditional images of women in the music industry, these prolific singer-songwriters paved the way for women in music, art and life and bravely explored territory outside the accepted confines of popular music. We are thrilled to share their songs and stories.”
