One of the newer dance companies on the Peninsula, the group takes its name from Menlo Park, where it is based, and the last name of its founder and artistic director, Michael Lowe. Lowe, born and raised in the Bay Area, has danced with a number of companies in California, including Oakland Ballet, as well as the North Dakota Ballet and the Old Souls New Shoes Dance Company with Mark Morris. Menlowe Ballet performs in various styles — classical as well as contemporary ballet, and what Lowe refers to as “cultural ballets,” which are pieces that borrow storylines, music, costumes, and movement motifs from different cultural traditions.

The theater, a fixture on Solano since 1925, would be remodeled from a 1,000-seat venue (now divided into two 500-seat movie theaters) to a 500-seat theater, with a large stage able to support live performances. At this point, the project is in an exploratory stage. Other theater companies are involved in initial talks, but are not ready to talk publicly about participation, Capitelli said, adding that the city may get involved, but that it’s too early to say how. “It’s conceivable that the city might do something with a loan similar to what they did in the Elmwood, if they thought it was a strong enough business plan and had relative certainty that the loan would be paid back,” he said.

Several homes on tour this year belonging to Alamo residents have been transformed to reflect the season and are ready to welcome admirers. Sujatha Jamwal was looking forward to getting her home decorated after recently having it painted. “The views from my home and most homes from Round Hill North are incredible and inspiring. The inside-outside lifestyles throw a different spin on Christmas,” she said. Sharon Keeton has also gotten her home ready for the holidays and the AAUW tour. “Setting the scene for the holidays is a joyful endeavor, and it’s fun to create new tableaux to add to the favorites from seasons past. I don’t think I’m doing any more decorating then I usually do, which is a lot,” she stated.
