A true story of laughter, love and a little cheek. A Yorkshire women’s club decides to take an unconventional route with their coming year’s fundraising calendar – rather than their typical photos of spectacular views of local landscapes or churches, it’s going to be photos of spectacular views of their own members wearing next to nothing! Their reasoning for the risqué move is honorable but it takes much convincing and plenty of liquid courage to capture each calendar girl pose month-by-month. This play blends humor, heart, and empowerment, telling the true-inspired story of ordinary women discovering courage, friendship, and self-acceptance along the way. "Calendar Girls" contains adult themes and language. There are scenes with hidden partial nudity. This production is best suited for those over the age of 13 and is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. Please note: The Saturday performances on Aug. 29 and Sept. 12 are at 7:30 p.m. The Lamplighters Community Theatre on Facebook / Instagram

One of NPR's most gifted storytellers, his soft voice and vivid writing helped define the network's sound for a generation of Americans.

This concert celebrates American music in honor of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. For generations, the United States has inspired composers from both within and beyond its borders, shaping works that reflect America’s landscapes, cultures, and evolving identity. This program highlights that influence, beginning with Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” a work shaped by his impressions of America’s musical traditions. We continue with Edward MacDowell’s Suite No. 2, “Indian Suite,” one of the earliest major orchestral works by an American composer. The evening concludes with a world premiere of an original piece written by MiraCosta College Symphony Orchestra’s composer‑in‑residence, Christoph Rayburn—to commemorate this historic anniversary. We hope you’ll join us for this special celebration of American music.

"Becoming Heirlooms": A Craft Desert exhibition curated by Kerianne Quick and Adam John Manley in conjunction with Handwork 2026, a Craft in America initiative. Opening Reception: Friday, September 11, 2026 | 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. On view August 24, 2026 - November 7, 2026 "Becoming Heirlooms" examines the extra functional power of craft and art objects, not merely as artifacts, but as tools for gathering, witnessing, and remembrance. Expanding the notion of “family” beyond bloodline or inheritance, the exhibition embraces broader forms of collectivity—chosen families, cultural lineages, ideological kinships, and experiences—that serve as touchstones for our shared existence. At its core, "Becoming Heirlooms" considers the moment when a crafted object transcends authorship and utility to become a site of collective feeling—when an artist’s intention resonates beyond the individual viewer and ignites a shared emotional consciousness. These works become gathering points for empathy, reflection, and recognition, binding communities through the realities of the world they inhabit together. Featuring new works by: Diana Benavidez, Matt Hebert, Michael Hernandez, Soyeon Kim, Christine Lee, Anna Mayer, Kaiya Rainbolt, Phil Rowland, India Thompson, and Georgina Treviño.
