"Disney's Beauty and the Beast, The Musical" opened to a packed house Wednesday night, July 21, at the Moonlight Amphitheatre, Vista. The first thing a critic looks for in a performance is a mistake. A weakness in a performance or a flaw in the costumes, or sets, or lighting, or sound, or music, or any number of microscopic issues little known to an audience.

Gamini Ratnavira with Lisa A. Ratnavira At the age of 19, I became a self-taught wildlife artist in my native country of Sri Lanka. I was inspired by the beautiful rainforest country I grew up in and wanted to share the beauty and wonder of nature with those around me. I was fortunate to have raised a baby elephant named Maya, enjoyed my father Sardha's pet leopard and macaw, and a litany of wildlife around our home. At one of my first art shows in 1979, President JR Jayewarde... Full story
