The Seeds of Sound Music and Arts Festival returned for its third year on Sat., Dec. 7, setting up at the Bakery near Adair Park and Oakland City for a one-day affair.

This year’s lineup, boasts performances by a dozen or so acts including Pure Colors, Partials, Regnault Monday, and more. The goal with this year’s festival, as it is every year, is to bridge the city’s creative communities. As such, there will be various styles of music, dance, painting, sculpting, food, comedy, and more to delve into throughout the day.

The festival's co-founders Anthony Prince and Jennifer Edouard stopped by CL's Short Notice Studio to talk to host Chad Radford about how this year's festival is shaping up, and everything they have in store.

Poets, actors, dancers, enchanted Celtic spirits, the L5P Rockastra and Krampus himself weave spells, confront taboos, play hife & seek and raise a ruckus in a mind-bending immersive theatrical labyrinth moving in and out of every corner of an historic L5P theater.

Director Jennifer Acker and Producing Director Paul Conroy share the inside dish on Out Front Theatre's production of Christmas With The Crawfords. This riotous theatrical spoof is based on the actual Christmas Eve live radio broadcast Holly legend Joan Crawford made from her Brentwood mansion on December 24, 1949. Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gloria Swanson, Hedda Hopper, Ethel Merman, and the Andrews Sisters all make grand entrances, belt out holiday songs and spit out over-the-top one liners.
