A Matter of Time is an award-winning short documentary shot in St. Louis over the course of 18 months that focuses on the journey of two senior citizens. Exploring the issues of housing, loneliness, ageism, and senior living, the film celebrates the everyday senior for the warrior that they are, and makes the viewer question what they will do when aging comes for them. It's only a matter of time...
The film running time is 30 minutes, followed by a Q&A session with the film's director Brendan Brandt and composer Joel Vanderheyden.
Alan Ferber Nonet with The Jefferson College Jazz Ensemble

$5 General Admission • $2 Students/Seniors
Multiple Grammy-nominated trombonist and composer Alan Ferber, hailed as "one of the jazz world's premier composers and arrangers for larger groups" (All About Jazz-NY), was named 2022's Rising Star trombonist by DownBeat magazine. He has released nine albums as a bandleader, most recently Up High, Down Low with his celebrated Alan Ferber Nonet on Sunnyside Records. For this show, Ferber will perform music from that album with an all-star group featuring top players from St. Louis and both coasts.
From 2020-2022, Ferber lived in St. Louis's Compton Heights neighborhood, where he deepened local musical ties while the pandemic halted touring. That period inspired new work with area musicians including Bob Deboo (bass), Adam Maness (piano), Vince Varvel (guitar), and saxophonists Joel Vanderheyden, Chris Cheek, and Bennett Wood - all of whom will join him at Jefferson College. Though Ferber and Cheek have since returned east, this reunion is made even more speical by the addition of Ferber's identical twin, L.A.-based drummer Mark Ferber. They'll perform music created during Ferber's St. Louis years, along with new material.
"The Producers"
June 19-21 & 26-22, 2026
$10 General Admission • $5 Students/Seniors/Matinees
The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
