Marc Tschida, who recently left as Production Manager of Cardinal Stage Company to devote full time to his art of making and selling wonderful wooden puzzles, had an important item on his bucket list. Marc realized that his terrifying childhood experience of Jaws had left him with a phobia of open water, ocean or lake. He knew that he had to stand up to his fear, face to face, in the water, to put it all to rest (being no fool, in a diving cage of course).
To fund this therapy, Marc created a wonderful shark puzzle, and devoted all of his income from that puzzle, for one year, to pay for his trip. It took him to Guadalupe, an island 200 miles off the coast of Mexico. In the course of this adventure, Marc was in the water with not just one, but no less than 18 Great Whites.
On Tuesday, February 21th, beginning at 5:30p.m. at The Venue, you can see Marc’s presentation of his experience in photos and video, and hear his narrative. He will leave it to you to measure his success in burying his demons.

Katy Guillen and The Girls may have deep roots in the blues, thanks to leader Guillen’s considerable skills and long history as a blues guitarist, but this trio—Guillen (guitar, vocals), Claire Adams (bass, vocals), and Stephanie Williams (drums)—brings a wide range of talents and tastes to the band’s sound. Guillen’s searing and lively licks, William’s heavy, driving drums, and Adams’s rock-solid bass create a dense sonic background for Guillen’s honest and powerful lyrics, delivered with soul and verve and complemented by Adams’s intense harmonies.
