– Gieson Cacho. Ballet San Jose: The company’s star-studded gala in November felt like a coronation for new artistic director José Manuel Carreño, the dawning of a brighter era for a troupe that has seen its share of turbulence in recent years. But now it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty; that comes next month when Ballet San Jose presents its first new program under Carreño’s stewardship. The wide-ranging lineup includes the company premiere of Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin’s famed improvisational “Minus 16,” as well as reprisals of Jorma Elo’s “Glow-Stop” (a big hit for the company last year) and Balanchine’s revered neoclassical work “Serenade.” Details: Feb. 14-16; San Jose Center for the Performing Arts; $20-$105; 408-288-2800, www.balletsj.org.

“A casting executive from ‘Saturday Night Live’ brought me into their offices in L.A. and it went amazing,” Reed recalls. “And so she set up a night at the Improv in Los Angeles for the top guys. She said, ‘I’m only bringing guys that I want Lorne to OK.’ So it was me and David Spade and Rob Schneider at the Improv.”. It didn’t pan out. “I had a manager who was working with Lorne Michaels at Broadway Video on releasing those ‘Best of Saturday Night Live’ sets.
