Review: MAINLY MOZART WITH VIOLINIST JAMES EHNES at The Conrad In La Jolla
At roughly six minutes, the Memorium is an excellent introduction to the “tintinnabula” (bell) minimalist style created by the composer. A simple melodic line combines with a separate line of triads. Music majors have written theses describing the style in excruciating detail, but the effect Pä…
Review: ADULT STORYTIME: A CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO THE BLUES at OnWord Theatre
“Adult Storytime: A Caregiver's Guide to the Blues” isn't designed to make audiences cry (though you may). Instead, it celebrates resilience, connection, and the extraordinary care people extend to one another every day.…
Review: THE RISE & FALL OF LITTLE VOICE at Backyard Renaissance
Backyard Renaissance Theatre's San Diego premiere of Jim Cartwright's “The Rise and Fall of Little Voice” is a curious blend of broad comedy and intimate drama. Anthony Methvin's production is elevated by a remarkable cast that finds genuine humanity beneath the script's extremes.…

Review: LA JOLLA MUSIC SOCIETY BRINGS Jihye Lee's BIG BAND TO The JAI at The Conrad
Jihye Lee’s 13-piece big band opened its second of two sets at The JAI in La Jolla with an original she called “Why Is That.” She explained the title in a 2024 Jazz Times interview. “I started out writing a simple blues tune, but it didn’t go well. … Why Is That? Why can’t I do that?�…
Review: THE MOST HAPPY FELLA at North Coast Repertory Theatre
If you think lying on your dating profile is a modern invention, “The Most Happy Fella” is here to remind you that catfishing has existed for generations. Fortunately, North Coast Repertory Theatre's production has something even more timeless than romantic deception: a glorious score sung by an…
Review: THE MONSTERS at La Jolla Playhouse
“The Monsters” delivers thrilling fight sequences, but its greatest strength lies in the family story at its center. Whether you're an MMA fan or not, the play's emotional punches land with equal force. …
