WHAT: 89.3 The Current presents "Rogue Valley" with Chris Koza--a multi-layered theater production dedicated to Chris's muse--spring--with songs and stories of thawing landscapes, regeneration, and youthful abandon.

Chris will be joined by an ensemble cast of local luminaries, including Jeremy Messersmith and Joanna James. Members of the Electric Arc Radio collective and poet Alex Lemon will perform new and original works inspired by Chris's springtime story. 89.3 The Current's Mary Lucia will introduce the evening.

Producer Sanden Totten will join in with a field report on spring. Alicia Wiley, a Fitzgerald Theater Indie-Artist apprentice, will take on the Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Organ, and the Waconia High School drumline will make an appearance. The performance coincides with the release of "Crater Lake," Chris' first album in a series of four that will arrive with each season this year.
