One of the offbeat ways to measure a town is to look at the variety, ambition and success of its live theater. Davis has been home to different theater startups this decade. Some endure and some have shut, but the creative impulse to bring more theater to Davis – and the belief that Davis will support the interest – continues. Today we talk with two people from the not-quite-2-year-old Bike City Theatre Company: J.R. Yancher, the producing artistic director, and Sarah Marsh-Krauter, the literary manager and dramaturg. They talk about the company’s Davis roots, what they want to achieve, the performances they’d like to bring to town, and their plans to engage UC Davis students – and to expand local audiences by attracting people who think live theater has nothing to offer them.

Cedar Cady spent the hour with us. Cedar is a Davis native and at a young age fell in love with the violin. Cedar talks about his life with music and his passion for playing. Currently he plays in and around the Sacramento area either by himself or with several groups that he adds his musical touch to. Listen in as he explains the difference between a violin and a fiddle. Cedar also played two live numbers for us. The playlist below lists the selections we played. Music that Cedar enjoys and inspired him.
