For the first play, I saw two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage voice her great-grandmother’s life in “Intimate Apparel.” It takes place in Lower Manhattan in 1905. Esther is still single and a virgin at 35. At just 17 years old, Esther walked north working odd jobs, sleeping in barns, while surviving on handouts. Along the way someone taught her to sew, more specifically, to sew ladies’ undergarments. Esther lives in the same rooming house with her sewing...

TORONTO - Eddie Murphy is very fond of his couch. He talks about it a lot. It's where, according to Murphy, he's spent much of his last few years, in a happy retreat from the public eye. He's a natural homebody, content to stick close to his Los Angeles home with his family (he has 10 kids) around him. One of the funniest, most electric comedians ever - the leather-suited dynamo of "Delirious," the street-wise rebel of "Beverly Hills Cop" - just lounging. But after a decade... Full story
LOS ANGELES (AP) - There may be no such thing as bad publicity, but the spotlight on "Joker" is testing the limits of that old cliche. The origin story about the classic Batman villain has inspired pieces both in defense of and against the movie. It's been hailed as the thing that's going to finally get Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar and also decried for being "dangerous," ''irresponsible" and even "incel-friendly." Last week, some parents of victims of the 2012 Aurora movie... Full story
NEW YORK (AP) - The DreamWorks animated adventure "Abominable" has topped the box office with an estimated $20.9 million, while the Renee Zellweger-led Judy Garland tale "Judy" got off to a sonorous start. "Abominable" was the weekend's sole new wide release. It's a U.S.-China co-production between Universal's DreamWorks and China's Pearl Studios, so its performance in China will be vital to its success. A handful of holdovers stayed strong. Last week's No. 1 film, "Downton... Full story
A jewel box of a theater resides in the tidy neighborhood known as University Heights. Entering its 34th season, Diversionary Theater is upstairs above the lobby; guests can just ascend the pink staircase to find it. The fact this theater still survives is a testament to capitalism. The founding premise was to "celebrate the identity and diversity of our LGBT community." It took a brave group of thespians to stand front and center and play to a different reality. All the more...

The Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University presents “Gifted: Collecting the art of California at Gardena High School 1919-1956,” a collection of California artworks collected over a 37-year period by then-students at Gardena High School.

It continued for nearly 40 years, with the works being displayed around the school. After the tradition stopped, many of the pieces were sto...
FALLBROOK – The first Encore Club coffee meeting of the new season was like a family reunion while also welcoming many new members to the Encore family.

Hunter died Monday at his Northern California home with his wife, Maureen, at his side, former Grateful Dead publicist Dennis McNally told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The family did not release a cause of death. "We loved Bob Hunter and will miss him unimaginably," Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart said, adding the lyricist was... Full story
Moonlight Amphitheater brings out the stars, overhead and onstage. Their newest production, "Victor/Victoria," is the gender-bending tale of a woman, dressed as a man, pretending to be a woman. Even though it sounds loopy, the play works brilliantly. It's a fabulous retelling of Blake Edwards' film by the same name from 1982. The film starred his talented wife, Julie Andrews, as Victoria and Robert Preston as Toddy, with James Garner as King Marchan. Those are big shoes to...
BONSALL – Neill Ketchum will say “Sayonara” with her last show at the Z Café and Art Gallery, which is open Sept. 9 to Dec. 2. Ketchum lives in Fallbrook and draws and paints the oak trees which surround her home. The entire oak forest, parts of the willow or sycamore groves, whatever exists in and around them, has occupied her paper or canvas for the last three decades. Sometimes the painting is close to what the viewer might see in real life. Sometimes the image focuse...

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The 71st annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be presented Sunday in a ceremony likely to become a going-away party for HBO's "Game of Thrones,'' a heavy favorite to continue stuffing its already crowded trophy case. The celebrated fantasy drama, which debuted in 2011 and ended its 73-episode run on May 19, already holds the record for scripted series with 57 Emmy wins -- including the 10 it collected last weekend during the Creative Arts Emmy Award...

After comedian Taylor Tomlinson performs on the Humor Me stage at KAABOO Del Mar Sunday, Sept. 15, the Temecula Valley High School graduate isn't likely to jump off the stage and rock out with the rest of the crowd for the rest of the day. "I tend not to be, like, a festival person," Tomlinson said in a phone interview. "Like, I wouldn't like go to one myself because I'm not like, uh, I'm not super fun. I think people who go to festivals tend to be really like fun, and I like...
