There are three fantastic venues all within walking dis- tance: Sunset Center, the Forest Theatre and the Golden Bough. I think the community can be very proud of what’s been done here.” To benefit the artistic programs of PacRep Theatre, original Beach Boys member and Big Sur resident Al Jardine will perform two concerts (December 17 and 18) with his Endless Summer Band on the Golden Bough Theatre’s Founders Stage. On December 17, special VIP packages— which include a meet and greet with Jardine and more—are available. For more information, visit www.pacrep.org or call 831/622-0100. The inaugural production in the newly renovated and renamed Founders Theatre was “Jersey Boys.” After being dark for several years, the incredible new theater is now open for the enjoyment of Carmel theatergoers.
