  • T. Jefferson Parker's newest thriller series is home in Fallbrook

    Updated Aug 30, 2019

    K.B. Gressitt Special to the Village News T. Jefferson Parker settled in Fallbrook in 2000, and what better place for a New York Times bestselling author and three-time Edgar Award winner to burrow into the quietude needed for the complex plots and deeply human characters he creates. In exchange for the space to write, Parker has honored the town and surrounding region by making them settings in his mystery thrillers ever since he landed here. Even one vaguely familiar...

  • 'Tenderly' hurts

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Aug 27, 2019

    The best part about "Tenderly, the Rosemary Clooney Musical" is intermission. A long-time fan of Ms. Clooney's musical accomplishments, I was disappointed to watch her personal and professional life torn to shreds. The too long, over-dramatized history of Ms. Clooney's singing career was written by the acclaimed writing team of Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Freidman. No doubt, they were paid by the word - otherwise this show would have been a single-90-minute-one-act play.... Full story

  • Mission accomplished with Styx concert at Pala

    Joe Naiman, Village News Correspondent|Updated Aug 19, 2019

    In 2017 Styx released their album The Mission, which is the band's most recent album and their first since 2005. The theme of The Mission is a mission to outer space, but Styx also had a mission July 26 when the band played at Pala Casino's Palomar Starlight Theater. That mission was to satisfy the audience, and Styx accomplished its mission. Styx performed 15 songs during their 90 minutes onstage, not including the snippet from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" keyboardist Lawrence Gowan played and sang after his keyboard solo...

    Elizabeth Youngman Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Aug 16, 2019

    San Diego Repertory has a hot musical running until the 25th of August called "33 1/3 House of Dreams." It's rock and roll at its very best and performed primarily by students. Gold Star Recording Studio was successful for 33 1/3 years. A long run for any business. With over 100 Top 40 hits between 1950 and 1984, partners Stan Ross as the chief engineer and Dave Gold lived and breathed their work and made their dreams come true.

  • 'The Underpants' has its ups and downs

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Aug 12, 2019

    Name recognition is the draw for this current production at The Old Globe's Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre in Balboa Park. Steve Martin debuted on The Smothers Brothers TV show which ran 1967-1969. His quirky physical humor coupled with a perverse manifestation of everyday occurrences, reeked of irreverence and an unmitigated disrespect for societal mores became his comedic niche. Some might say genius. Case in point, in Martin's first film "The Jerk" he plays an... Full story

    Jeff Pack, Writer|Updated Aug 5, 2019

    As a return to normalcy looms with the impending first day of school right around the corner, it is easy to forget that there’s still fun to be had here in San Diego County. Our long summer season means live music festivals continue to take place well into November – and there are few things better than a good live music fest in Southern California.

  • 'The Million Dollar Quartet' is not to be missed

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Jul 30, 2019

    It could have been a tent revival where men and women set aside their walkers and canes. They were standing and shaking without assistance. All of the women followed along as they were told to "shake it, baby shake it," while the men bobbed their heads and snapped their fingers. The years faded back to Dec. 4, 1956. Sixty-three years, four months and 10 days ago, in Memphis, Tennessee. Excitement was high as Sam Phillips was waiting for Johnny Cash to stop by to sign his next...

    The creative spirit is alive and well in Dionne Warwick. It is alive and well in her family members too. So when she performs on stage, the audience often gets a surprise performance.
