The annual Josephson-Spindler Gala Dinner & Silent Auction aims to expand awareness about food insecurity and its growing impact on our community. This year, the gala is on April 8, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the San Diego Natural History Museum in the historic Balboa Park. Each year this memorable event has garnered national recognition from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. All proceeds from this year's event will support Brightside Produce, Kids Eat Right, and the Student Nutrition Organization at San Diego State University (SDSU). Each ticket to the gala comes with a full dinner buffet with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options as well as 2 drink tickets. CEU's will be available for this event! For over 40 years, the Student Nutrition Organization (SNO) has served our community through volunteering, advocacy, and philanthropy. We strive for our members to develop strong professional and community relationships, and this gala is how we give back to our community locally and nationally. As the prevalence of food insecurity increases, SNO wants to bring attention to the Kids Eat Right campaign. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics developed this national campaign to educate families, communities, and policymakers about the importance of quality nutrition to promote optimal health for kids and their families. Additionally, we want to shine a light on a local non-profit, Brightside Produce, which is a nonprofit "committed to increasing access to healthy food options in underserved communities through produce deliveries, while reducing food waste and strengthening the local food system in San Diego County.” Brightside produce also offers the students of SDSU the opportunities to volunteer and give back to our local community, helping to fight food insecurity. Brightside helps the around 500,000 people in San Diego County are food insecure, with almost 165,000 of those being children and around 7,000 being students at San Diego State University. Join us for a night under the stars with keynote speaker Dr. Guadalupe Xochitl Ayala, and additional speakers, co-founder of Brightside Produce, Dr. Iana A. Castro, and Sam Pantazopoulos, co-founder of Vizer. If you are unable to attend this year’s gala, but would still like to donate and help us reach our goal, we will happily take any donations. Please venmo all donations to SNO_Paige_Sullivan. Thank you! Any businesses interested in purchasing a table (seats ten people) should email sdsu.sno.galacoordinator@gmail.com.

Join Alex Steed and Woody Shticks for a funny evening of stories about lovable (and sometimes not-so-lovable) losers. In a world full of redemption arcs and revised narratives, we remain heartened by all of the resonant losers and bad-luckers that history has forgotten. With some slides and a lot of good humor, we are eager to share some of our favorites with a live audience. Alex will tell Woody about a bad-lucker from his profession, Woody will tell Alex about a bad-lucker from his. Think live podcast, minus the podcast, plus the PowerPoint. Alex is a writer, a producer and podcast host (You Are Good). Woody is a comic, a stripper and a queer archivist and historian. There will be plenty of slides and a whole lot of jokes.

A WORLD PREMIERE Written by Charles Borkhuis Directed by James P. Darvas On stage: July 15-Aug. 7, 2022 Pablo Picasso lived quite a life. During his childhood, his father taught him the techniques of the art of painting. His father supplied him all the tools and practical knowledge to succeed. It wasn’t very long before young Pablo surpassed his father in talent and success. At the turn of the century, in a land full of sights, sounds, and people who Pablo had never experienced before, Pablo’s personal and artistic lives would undergo a drastic metamorphosis. Pablo and his best friend Casagemas traveled to Paris and their eyes and hearts were opened to things they had never imagined. The few months they spent together in Paris put their lives on a trajectory that neither of them saw coming. For Pablo, success on an unimaginable level. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Casagemas. Related links: OnStage Playhouse on Instagram OnStage Playhouse on Twitter OnStage Playhouse on Facebook OnStage Playhouse's 2022-2023 season
