About the productions:
We are bringing back the Black Lady Showcase! Last year we had a wonderful time celebrating Black Lady Artists of San Diego. This year we're bringing it back bigger than ever and we're bringing the guys along too. We are welcoming local artists to share their art their way.

Barbeque centers around the O'Mallerys, a dysfunctional group of siblings who come together for a park barbeque in order to stage an emergency intervention for their sister Barbara, whose drug habit has gotten out of hand. However tehre are in fact two O'Mallery families, one white and one black. Each appear in different, yet similar scenes that juxtapose to create a dialogue about racial and family politics.
