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

Aspiring artist and UCSD visual art student Heather Rosati is hosting an art event, showcasing local San Diego artists. This art show is a public event being put on in partnership with The San Diego Made Factory. Alongside the work being showcased by the gathered artists, The San Diego Made Factory will host their open studio day for their tenants. There will be a bar, live music, and food! The theme “Letters to You” was created to explore the text’s role in art. Not only must we consider who the viewer, or reader is, with such pieces, but we must also question the intention, the “why?”. Valentine’s day is a day of love and expressing that to one another. This is a day filled with much letter writing and much vulnerability. Around this holiday is the time I began exploring the theme of letter-writing, and the intimacy behind it. I found it to be an interesting fit for a body of work, circling back to the questions of whom/what is one creating/writing for, and why. Date | Saturday, April 30 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Location | San Diego Made Factory This event is free and open to the public.
