This inspiring and edgy recount of the infamous John Paul Getty, and his grandson, is spun masterfully – combining precious family moments with heartless ones. Christopher Plummer and Michelle Williams ('Manchester by the Sea') mesmerize the audience with cat and mouse-like performances (or should I say lion and seemingly far weaker prey) – the audience feeling the claw marks and scratches of desperation from one side, while witnessing the clever roar and thunder of power from the opposition, it being subtly wielded with “ap...
In the past when I didn't enjoy a performance I talked about the good things I saw. In the case of the highly lauded "Hamilton", and might I add intensely expensive by the way, currently playing at the Civic Theater in downtown San Diego through Jan. 28, there is more to say. I didn't like it. There. I said it. I have wrestled with this (along with an intense bout of influenza) for close to a week now. The real question is would you pay $999 for a ticket to sit in the...
Hundreds flock to Old Town Temecula every Dec. 31 for a fun and unique tradition where a series of balls made to look like a cluster of grapes are dropped outside city hall twice: Once at 9 p.m. to sync with the New Year's Eve countdown on the East Coast and once again at midnight. But, Temecula is not the only place with a unique way of ringing in the New Year. Across the country, cities have come up with themed and unique New Year's events. Here's a sampling of some of...

FALLBROOK – Three artists will be spotlighted at Z Cafe and Art Gallery during the first two months of the new year – first-timer Leslie Sweetland, second-timer Linda Thorne and old-timer Neill Ketchum. Sweetland said she has always loved art, working for the last 40 years to translate into art what she sees in her "mind's eye." At 11, she began taking art classes and won her first awards of many. Sweetland's life took off in another direction and she worked in the information...
“Ladybird” details the latter part of a girl’s high school years and all the awkward, complicated and emotional elements such a scenario entails. The two main stars, Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf, render nothing short of epic, raw and deeply sensitive and prickly performances. The supporting cast was equally impressive, leaving significant emotional marks on the audience. About half of this film contained some of the most brilliant moments I have ever seen in any story, while the other part was fumbled so badly, it was h...

FALLBROOK – A Country Christmas was the theme for the Fallbrook Encore Club's holiday luncheon held at The Golf Club of California. The festive table decorations reflected a country motif, and one lucky guest at each table took that table's decorations home. Many guests wore their best western attire adding color and fun to the party. After the delicious buffet was enjoyed by all, master of ceremonies Trudy Cunningham introduced this year's entertainment, The Fallbrook S...
FALLBROOK – The Avocado Belles Chapter of the Red Hat Ladies Society held their annual Christmas Party Luncheon at the Reche Schoolhouse Dec. 13. Led by Queen Mum Beverly Griffith, the chapter has 19 members, each queens in their own right as each is queen of something – usually relating to a hobby, pet, or collection, etc. Marianne Dickey, Queen of Witches, was hostess for the party and selected the Reche Schoolhouse as the venue to showcase this incredible historic tre...
In a perfect world, we would all be able to do what we love. And this past year I have. It has been a source of joy to visit the theaters in San Diego County and write about the experiences. Last year I attended more than 65 theatrical performances from Fallbrook to Coronado to Los Angeles, five symphonies (three in San Diego, plus Fallbrook and Temecula), multiple museums – The Broad, The Gene Autry, The Huntington, The Norton Simon, The L.A. County Museum, The Getty, The Get...

For the past 40 years, Broadway San Diego has featured quality productions, and now as a part of an international company, San Diego will reap the rewards by having some of the best touring shows out of New York perform locally. The season for 2017-2018 started with a bang this fall with "An American in Paris," followed by "The Little Mermaid" and most recently, "Cinderella," which offered a "contemporary take on a classic tale... with jaw dropping transformations – the pumpki...
"Wonder", starring Jacob Tremblay, Owen Wilson, and Julia Roberts tells one of the most important stories in our world today: one that reflects the ability of people – in this case, primarily children, and young adults – to have open minds and understanding. This film’s message is critically important and needs to be heard by everyone. Often, films of this nature can be so “hokey” and mushy that an important lesson is lost. Such was not the case here, as this story was beautifully delivered on all fronts. The interacti...
Yeah, just when you think "Oh no, not another version of 'A Christmas Carole'" along comes Cygnet Theatre doing a change up on a classic Dicken's tale. It is fresh and fun-tastic! Hurray for them. And lucky us! 'Cause for one thing, it is a musical. And second, there is a piano player on stage. Musical director Patrick Marion is visible throughout. In addition to his masterful musicology, he inserts a bit of whimsy along the way to London on Christmas Eve, 1843. Don't we all...
FALLBROOK – Hosting family and friends for special occasions requires a lot of hosts, who must prepare their homes for guests or find establishments capable of catering to large parties. For hosts inviting people into their homes, the task of preparing homemade meals adds to their list of responsibilities. Cooking for a crowd can be rewarding.
