North Coast Rep presents "An Evening With C.S. Lewis" starring David Payne. The year is 1962 and C.S. Lewis, the famous British author, is hosting a group of American writers at his home near Oxford. They are about to experience a captivating evening with a man whose engaging conversation and spontaneous humor made him one of the great raconteurs of his day. Seated in his living room, he recalls the people and events that inspired his thoughts and shaped his life; of his friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien, why he nearly abandoned the Narnia Chronicles, how he came to embrace Christianity and of the American woman who turned his life upside down. David Payne’s "An Evening With C.S. Lewis" has proved to be an enthralling theatrical experience, one which has led many thousands to discover, or rediscover, the continuing impact of a man who died over 50 years ago and whose collected works made him one of the literary giants of the 20th Century. London born actor/playwright David Payne’s first encounter with C.S. Lewis was when, as a teenager, he was given a copy of Lewis’ best-selling book "Screwtape Letters." Little did he realize that some 40 years later he would be gaining a reputation for his portrayals of its famous author. He has played Lewis in a number of productions of "Shadowlands," in his self-penned "Weep for Joy," in more than 500 presentations of "An Evening with C.S. Lewis" (My Life’s Journey) and "St. Jack & The Dragon" a touching yet sometimes hilarious account about the relationship between Lewis and his adopted mother, Janie Moore. Payne’s latest self-penned Lewis based show is "Wardrobes & Rings," which focuses on the very last meeting between Lewis and his great friend, J.R.R. Tolkien.

In this webinar for Healthy Soils Program awardees featuring Dr. Craig Kolodge, we'll explore the multifaceted value of amending agricultural soils with compost. Join us to understand how this practice can enhance your land and community, and methods for utilizing its greatest potential. Compost application is the most commonly-funded practice within CDFA's Healthy Soils Incentives Program: during the 2020 solicitation, over 80% of the 300+ awardees included compost application in their project! Although the Healthy Soils Program (HSP) emphasizes the role of compost in sequestering soil carbon for climate change mitigation, compost application also offers a host of advantages for crop health and ecosystem resilience.
