As we come to the beginning of March, a number of our California Central Coast theatre and live entertainment venues have recently closed or will soon be closing their current performance runs.

As we come to the end of February, our California Central Coast theatre and live performance venues have a wide variety of offerings for your entertainment and viewing pleasure - ranging from Shakespeare to Dr Seuss to Old Blue Eyes!
More than the passage of time has turned country singer/musician Ricky Skaggs into one of the elder statesmen of bluegrass. The die was cast from the minute he stepped onto a stage at age five to pick his mandolin with the legendary Bill Monroe. And, while his long locks may have almost completely faded to gray, there's still a fire for producing the authentic sounds of country music that burns within him.
