Read a review of Valentine Pelka's performance in The Archbishop's Ceiling.
Mr. Pelka has regretfully informed us that he won't be able to make our event this year due to a personal commitment. He is very disappointed that he won't be able to see friends and fans in LA. He hopes to reschedule with us for a future event.
