Step into a world of color, movement, and imagination with "El Alebrije," A Step Beyond’s vibrant reimagining of "The Nutcracker" through dance, theater, music, and puppetry — taking place November 7 & 8 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. This original production features over 150 youth performers (ages 8–18), a student-run technical crew, guest parent performers, and breathtaking storytelling and puppetry in collaboration with the San Diego Guild of Puppetry and Bocón Youth Arts. The story follows María, a young girl celebrating her Quinceañera, who receives a mystical Alebrije and is whisked into a magical dream journey across Mexico. Along the way, she encounters imagery inspired by Día de los Muertos, Frida Kahlo, and mariachi traditions—discovering the power of connection, heritage, and love. "El Alebrije" is more than a performance; it’s a community celebration. Last year’s production drew over 1,000 attendees across three shows, uniting families, volunteers, and artists in a dazzling display of creativity and collaboration. Join us for this one-of-a-kind cultural experience that uplifts youth, honors Mexican heritage, and brings the magic of imagination to life for audiences of all ages.

Co-presented by The House of Ukraine. Keeping schools open in Ukraine is an attempt to recreate at least some of the normal life they had before the war — until February 24, 2022 (and in some regions even earlier, in 2014). Without interviews, narration and reenactments, "Timestamp" provides an insight into how the war is affecting the daily lives of students and teachers. The film has a mosaic-like structure: it explores how a school functions in-person and online in these terrible times, both on and off the frontline, how day-to-day life is intertwined with constant danger.

The San Diego History Center, in partnership with the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art, presents the exhibition "San Diego’s Lost Neighborhoods" at our Balboa Park museum. Using augmented reality, oral histories, and archival materials, the exhibition examines how discriminatory policies—including redlining, freeway construction, and gentrification—displaced communities and documents the human impact of that loss. Featured neighborhoods include Julian, City Heights, the Gaslamp Quarter, La Jolla, Chollas View, Southcrest, and MLK Way; the exhibition invites citywide reflection on this often overlooked chapter of our city’s past.
