Laughter, Learning, and Music: A Trio of Events at Chico State University
Chico State University is set to host a unique trio of events, featuring laughter, thought-provoking discussions, and a musical journey. From the hilarious 'Menopause The Musical 2' to Héctor Tobar's insightful lecture on 'Our Migrant Souls,' and the vibrant stand-up show 'Good Medicine,' there's something for everyone. These events promise to offer a diverse blend of entertainment, education, and cultural enrichment, making it a must-visit destination this season.
All aboard, sisters! The hysterical sequel to the smash-hit Menopause The Musical® is finally here! Five years after their chance encounter in a department store, we set sail with our beloved ladies for more high jinks on the high seas. Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’® is a hilarious and heartfelt look at the joys of menopause and friendship — plus hot flashes, mood swings, and memory lapses! Join us on a trip of self-discovery, backed by a new soundtrack of toe-tapping parodied hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. For these four ladies, menopause was not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful friendship where love conquers all, and friendships never fail.
The Book in Common is a shared, community read, designed to promote discussion and understanding of important issues facing the broader community. The Book in Common is chosen each year by a group of Chico State University and Butte College faculty, staff, students and community members.
We are excited to announce that the Book in Common for 2024-2025 is Our Migrant Souls: A Meditation on Race and the Meanings and Myths of ‘Latino’ by Héctor Tobar"
After selling out venues throughout the country, the smash-hit, all-Native comedy show, Good Medicine, comes to the Chico Performances for a one-night-stand of stand-up! Hosted and produced by comedian Jackie Keliiaa (Netflix) the showcase features the best and brightest Native comedians across North America. Founded in 2020, Good Medicine was first launched as a virtual comedy show raising funds for tribes impacted by covid-19. Since the show’s humble beginnings on Keliiaa’s kitchen table, Good Medicine has sold-out shows across the country and featured comedians hailing from over 30 tribal Nations who have been seen on Comedy Central, Netflix, ABC, NBC, FX and more!
Chico State University's upcoming events offer a delightful fusion of humor, music, and intellectual discourse. 'Menopause The Musical 2' promises laughter and friendship, Héctor Tobar's lecture invites reflection on race and identity, and 'Good Medicine' delivers laughs while celebrating Native culture. These events showcase the diversity and vibrancy of Chico Performances, making them an unmissable part of this season's cultural calendar. Join us for an unforgettable experience that promises to entertain, educate, and enrich.
