From the theater: The extraordinary life of the champion Billie Jean King. "Love All" is the triumphant story of the rise of sports icon and social justice pioneer Billie Jean King. The trailblazer for equality faced tough competition on the court and adversity in the world, all against a backdrop of the massive social changes of the 1960s and 70s. With the support of Billie Jean King herself, this exciting world premiere comes from the pen of award-winning playwright, professor, actor and author Anna Deavere Smith (whose screen roles include The West Wing and Nurse Jackie). Deavere Smith’s artistry is evidenced by the groundbreaking work that she has created for more than four decades, including the Tony-Award nominated Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992. Under the skillful hand of director Marc Bruni (director of the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award winning Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), "Love All" evokes the highs and lows of Billie Jean’s extraordinary career, and asks not just what it takes to be a champion, but what it takes to change the course of history.

These little world travelers still amaze us in their annual migrations, but today we understand a lot more about how they do it (but not everything!). Join us for this fascinating exploration into bird behavior, and be entertained by the marvels of bird migration. This event is free and open to the public, and there is no need to pre-register.

Nathaly’s conceptual photography is inspired by her personal experiences, as well as her three favorite artists: the famous poet Edgar Allen Poe, the filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, and the actor Johnny Depp. Her beautifully tender images of self-worth, struggle and intimate suffering incorporate storytelling and a sense of surrealism, and can vary from bright and saturated to dark and moody. Come join Nathaly for a reception to celebrate her most recent exhibition at the Mission Valley Branch Library. Find regular visiting hours for the full exhibition here.
