Just a scant 10 years before Columbus discovered America, this story unfolds high above ground on the Ille de Cite. Lifted from the pages of Victor Hugo's acclaimed novel (ca 1831) about a deformed man and his love for a beautiful gypsy woman, the classic tale of bittersweet romance is brought to life by the players at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is riveting. Masterfully staged and passionately directed by Steven Glaudini, this is this se...
FALLBROOK – The Brandon Gallery's art show, "A Dog & Pony Show" which opened Aug. 4 at runs through Aug. 25, celebrates the animal companions that are a part of everyone's family.

"I was overwhelmed and thrilled by the number of entries to this Dog & Pony Show," judge and artist Hajime Ohno said. "At the same time, it pained me to...

The students will create a wildlife entry for the Junior Wildlife Art Show to be held at the Fallbrook Art Center in January....
La Jolla Playhouse has long established itself as the spring board for new works. After a successful run at LJP many shows land on Broadway. Just when I was beginning to feel like a fraud, since many of this season's plays have received high ratings, with several all the way to 10...I saw "The Squirrels", written by Robert Askins. A graduate of Baylor University in Waco, the one-time bartender, in a prior interview answered that he was accustomed to not feeling like he...
"What could be more important than love?" Finding it, keeping it, letting it go, or breathing life back into it? "Once" is a small Irish film out of Dublin that still resonates around the globe. Rewritten for the stage by Enda Walsh with music and lyrics by Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard, "Once" opened on Broadway garnering eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Making its West Coast premiere, "Once" is presented locally by Lamb's Players Theatre (L.P.T.) while each...
Tucked at the top of a staircase in University Heights lives a space set aside for imaginative live theatre. Housed in the Diversionary Theatre's Mainstage, Edward Albee's first play ("The Zoo Story") is brought to life by a new group of players under the banner of Backyard Renaissance Theatre Company. Established just three years ago, this intense group of players has been accepted under the umbrella of La Jolla Playhouse as its Resident Theatre for 2018-2019 season. Quite...
"Newsies" is a smash hit! This huge cast of talented performers delights and inspires! Perfect for the entire family!

After coming off the all-time hit, "Mamma Mia," Moonlight Stage Productions is bound to have a back to back success with "Newsies." It is every bit as wonderful as its predecessor and a lot more i...
It's a hit! "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is the funniest show of 2018! Wacky and absurd, this rib-tickling show wraps up the 36th season for North Coast Repertory Theatre with a bang! While the show is directed by David Ellenstein with subtlety, it is the dazzling choreography of Colleen Kollar Smith that gives it heart. Accompanied by musical director Ron Councell, opening night was a flawless performance. Remarkably, Ellenstein filled the wee stage with...

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...
Andrew Lloyd Webber is an icon in musical theatre. 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)...
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...
"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...

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. Artists painted all day and all around the 30-acre grounds of Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens, with seven waterfalls and endless gardens, making it very hard to decide where to paint with so many beautiful choices, according to the artists. The painters turned in their paintings, 3 p.m., to be judged by l...

Nature's diversity is evident in the art presented by professional artists working in oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, pastels, scratchboard, photography, wood, glass, stone and bronze in a wide variety of styles.

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...

FALLBROOK – The Green Art House, a nonprofit arts school and artist retreat, held its grand opening and ribbon cutting Saturday, April 7.

From several live demos by instructors to live music, classic cars and opportunity drawings, the afternoon had something for everyone. The G...
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. Next stop is Jerusalem, Israel. "Soul...
