• TICKET INFORMATION

FULL RELEASE – Reg Lenna Center for The Arts invites the community to take a fun look back a few decades with a live comedy performance on their stage and a retro art show in 3rd on 3rd Gallery.

Headlining on Saturday, March 4 will be former Seinfeld and Tonight Show with Jay Leno writer, Pat Hazell performing his one-man show The Wonder Bread Years at 8pm in The Reg theater. Blurring the line between stand-up comedy and theater, Hazell’s performance is a funny look back at growing up in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Preceding the performance at 6pm will be Retr-O: A 1960’s Art Show in 3rd on 3rd Gallery. Artists Gary Peters Jr., Riko Chandra and Katherine Stuart feature their contemporary art that nods to modernists in the past, including some familiar people, places and things recognizable to many generations.

Reg Marketing Director, Len Barry says, “The Greater Jamestown community loves to look back on the past, share stories and memories and remember the way things were. These events are a special thank-you to the public for keeping the good times alive and well.”

The Wonder Bread Years, created and performed by Hazell, was written as a salute to Americana and to restore a sense of wonder that can be lost at times. The show evokes many memories for Baby Boomers including sitting at the kids table at family get-togethers, riding in the way back of the family station wagon, holiday traditions and popular commercial brands like Twister and Wonder Bread. Pat Hazell was one of the original writers of NBC’s hit comedy, Seinfeld and is a stand-up veteran of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He is also a contributing commentator to National Public Radio.

Pat Hazell’s The Wonder Bread Years is performed live on March 4 at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $8 for children under 12 and $18 for adults.
