This year, 2023, Julian salutes July Fourth with the Theme, “Century of Commitment.” This theme is inspired by the 2023 Grand Marshal, the Julian Woman’s Club and their philanthropic commitment to the Julian community. We’re celebrating their 100 years of community service, support and camaraderie. The Julian Woman’s Club has shaped and preserved Julian’s history in many ways: Their C Street property was purchased for $350 in 1941. The Julian Pioneer Museum was establish in 1953 (which is located at Washington & Fourth Streets). They organized the Julian Back Country Quilt Trail in 2014. Since 1951, the Julian Woman’s Club has provided scholarships for deserving high school graduates and adults to further purse their educational goals. Annual philanthropic events include the annual Wildflower Show (since 1926), the Heritage Quilt Show, the December Holiday Gift Boutique and their lovely Afternoon Touring Teas. Visit their website for more details about their wonderful organization and how you can support them.

In "AS THE SUN WOUNDS THE SHADOWS," Nathan Storey presents various bodies of work, such as "Traces and Stains," that propose printed matter as a facilitator, witness, and residue of gay desire. Storey's artistic practice explores the intricate relationship between printed materials and queer memory, collectivity, liberation, and loss. Words and images are printed, photographed, re-printed, re-photographed, collaged, and so on, recontextualizing gay and queer materials from collective and personal archives, blurring but not erasing the seams.–Dillon Chapman Reception: April 5 from 5 - 7 p.m. Performance: April 12 at 5 p.m. On Display: April 5 - April 12, 2024 Visit: https://visarts.ucsd.edu/people/grad-students/nathan-storey.html https://www.nathanstoreyarchive.com/

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the heartbreaking romance, "Failure: A Love Story" as its next student production! By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead — expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures. Director Benjamin Cole is eager to share the talents of his student cast. “The show offers some unique challenges for creative staging with characters like Front Door, Moses the ball python, December and Mae the feral monk parakeets, and even Cuckoo Clock,” Cole reveals. “We’re exploring storytelling in a way not often seen in youth theatre,” he insists. Assistant Director Steve Smith adds, “This incredibly emotional script is both tragic and beautiful. It is a treat to work on with our students!” The show runs a sweet 90 minutes with no intermission and hopes to be the perfect date night for Valentine’s week. Additional production staff includes Sound Designer, Caleb Foley; Stage Manager, Paul Smith; and Lighting and Projections Designer, Liam Sullivan.
