It comes as no surprise that good fences make good neighbors. True from the time of Ben Franklin and probably more so today, playwright Karen Zacarias delivers with "Native Gardens." The show is smart and cheeky. It's an eye-opening look into our preconceived attitudes toward immigration, race and privilege. No doubt, the cure for today's culturally sensitive environment. Written with savvy politically correct insight wrapped in biting truths, the locale is none other than...

Lovingly known as the creator genius behind "The Phantom", it isn't until he writes the new music for "School of Rock" that his real diversity sparkles. And when partnering with Julian Fellows who could even guess how they can rock out! After all, Fellows is that same stuffy guy who created and hosted the award winning "Downton Abbey". I know, who would ever imagine he was this cool? As it turns out they (Webber and Fellows)... Full story
The Moliere Award is a literary prize based on a theatrical technique created during the 17th century by the French dramatist Jean-Baptiste Poquelin aka Moliere. He is recognized as the creator of the comedic technique incorporating double-vision. Seeing two things at once. A broad approach to comedy akin to commedia dell’arte. Not unlike the Yanny/Laurel internet phenomenon. As it turns out the words were broadcast on two different wave lengths and so your hearing determined... Full story
"Nathan Gunn Flying Solo" scores a perfect 10! His 90-minute, one-man show shares his family history two generations back from the Scottish Highlands to the corn belt of Illinois. Gunn is recognized internationally as one of the world's finest baritones. Applauded for his smooth honey-filled voice, be it "Figaro" or "Oklahoma", Nathan Gunn is eye candy. Adding to his manliness (no metro sexual dude here ladies, Nathan Gunn is 100 percent prime USDA male) he is deliciously hand... Full story

Unlike most art shows, the annual Reflections of Nature art show at Fallbrook Art Center is held for only one weekend – it was presented May 4-6 this year – and the artists themselves are a big part of the show. The opening reception was Friday night, May 4, but that was not the only time visitors could meet the artists as they were present for the whole weekend. The show is limited to 20 artists, for good reason. Each one had their own mini-gallery with as many pieces of art...
FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Art Association's annual Plein Air Competition and Show attracted 37 artists this year, from all over San Diego County and as far away as Idyllwild.

The painters turned in their paintings, 3 p.m., to be judged by l...

When the British playwright Michael Frayn wrote about a touring troupe of actors performing a standard bill of fare in the U.K., known as “British Bedroom Farce,” his intention was to mock the intensity of these endeavors by poking fun of everyone from the director to the backstage crew. Also known as lowbrow (as opposed to highbrow e.g. Shakespeare, as fulfilled by the other summer touring players) this silly whimsical form of tongue-in-cheek comedy is based on imp...

Tucked in the back of a parking lot on the East side of I-5 in Solana Beach sits a noteworthy house of theatre. North Coast Rep is wrapping up its 36th season featuring David Ellenstein as Artistic Director for the past 16. What that really means over these past years is he has developed a bit of clout in the make-believe world of play acting. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lure Geoffrey Sherman to direct in his little playhouse. Mr. Sherman's resume is exemplary... Full story
It would seem if you are reading this review, you too, if not a child of the 60's are at least aware of the flower-child movement. Which would align you with the creators of "Soul Doctor". It opened April 10 at the Lyceum Space in downtown San Diego. Reworked for the road, having debuted on Broadway in 2013, the journey of rock star Rabbi Schlomo will only be in San Diego for 24 total performances on its first stop of the world tour.

Harding, flee the watchful eyes of the President's secret service detail. While in the past these annual camping expeditions only included Edison and Ford, this particular July, Ford extended a personal invitation to Harding, the c... Full story
