OTC at the Brooks presents the world premiere of "Dead Moose"! "Dead Moose" tells the story of Job, an eighteen-year-old who miraculously survives a car accident with a moose. Returning home from the hospital, he begins to reassess his life in a series of non-linear vignettes — grappling with questions of death, fate, and religion. All the while, the nagging voice of the dead moose lingers in his head, pushing and provoking him at every turn. Originally conceived by writer/composer Tyler Tafolla while attending AMDA Los Angeles, "Dead Moose" first introduced audiences to its songs in 2018 at Republic of Pie in Los Angeles. A concert reading was later staged in January 2025 at the City Heights Performance Annex in San Diego, directed by Tafolla and produced by Kevin “Blax” Burroughs. Content Disclaimer: "Dead Moose" is not recommended for audiences under the age of 14. Content includes themes of suicide, abuse, death, religious trauma, body shaming, homophobia and racism. This production contains flashing lights and projections, haze and loud music. Oceanside Theatre Company on Facebook / Instagram

A timeless act of defiance takes center stage as ANTIGONE closes the season at Grossmont College. In ANTIGONE, one woman’s courage ignites a battle between personal conviction and political power. When Antigone dares to bury her brother—branded a traitor by the state—she defies King Creon’s decree and risks everything to honor the dead. What follows is a gripping clash of wills where justice, morality, and loyalty collide, and the cost of pride and power becomes devastatingly clear. “For 2500 years, people have been telling the story of Antigone,” says director Shana Wride. “She is the original rebel.” This ancient tale still resonates today—don’t miss this powerful, haunting drama that asks: when the law is unjust, what is your duty?
