Local playwright, Connie Terwilliger comes to The Lamplighters Community Theatre for the world premiere of her play, Silkworms. Three generations of strong women growing together in love and wisdom. Connie Terwilliger is known for her acting and voice over work in San Diego. She has performed several times at The Lamplighters Theatre, as well as many other community theatres in San Diego. She has written a play and we have the honor of being the first theatre to put it up on stage. Her story is of 3 generations of strong women whose struggles for love and the beauty of life play out in different ways. The grandmother, an immigrant with the wisdom of age. The daughter, driven to achieve perfection at the expense of love and happiness. The granddaughter, much like her mother, striving to find balance. This story is mostly true, the names have been changed to protect the innocent. It is clearly autobiographical, featuring a younger Connie, her mom and her grandmother. Much of her grandmother's dialog was taken from a two-hour cassette tape that her mother asked her to record. You will be able to relate, rejoice, share regret, and celebrate with the characters. You will leave with a warmth in your heart and a grin on your face, which we can all use a lot of these days. Gioia de vivere! It's time to live...to love!

Art Scene West Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of works by varied artists. Mediums include canvases, sculpture and wearable art. Joshua Rios is a featured artist at the Creative Artists Showcase. Balanced energy, colorful textures, and sporadic intention. These elements live within Joshua's oil paintings to present a bold display of contemporary artwork. Likened to the striking styles of Van Gogh, Picasso, and Jackson Pollock, each painting represents the experimental process that has defined Joshua's artistic journey since he started 13 years ago. From taking risks and never fearing to fail, Joshua's own art syle begins to emerge, beckoning his name with each brush stroke. This exhibition is representative of a fresh energy and excitement in the Solana Beach Design District, where Art Scene West Gallery is promoting local art creation and collaboration.
