We're kicking off the fall season by getting intimate with one of the world's most beloved bands! Portland legends and international sensations PINK MARTINI will be joining at the Alberta Rose Theatre on September 12th to celebrate their 30-year career. They'll reflect on three decades of traveling the globe, playing their signature genre-defying music to sold out crowds everywhere from the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House, before serenading our audience with a few of their greatest hits.

Then, we'll be turning our cultural junk food into an intellectual feast with the Pulitzer Prize-winning New Yorker writer and television critic EMILY NUSSBAUM. Her new book Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV, traces the origin, evolution, and impact of America’s most influential (and most divisive) artistic phenomenon. (As if that weren't enough, Emily, was also the original creator of New York magazine's "Approval Matrix"... earning her a spot in our personal "highbrow/brilliant" quadrant.)

Stand-up comedian SEAN JORDAN (who co-host the wildly popular All Fantasy Everything podcast with Ian Karmel) will give us a taste of his first full length stand up special, "Girl Dad," detailing his journey as a father, from IVF to vasectomy and everything in between. Paste Magazine calls the special "both genuine *and* genuinely hilarious." These are some dad jokes we can really get behind and will be well worth the cost of a babysitter.
