"Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the world. Since its opening in May 1960 at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York, "The Fantasticks" remains the longest-running production of any kind in the history of American theatre and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. Directed by Kelly Ford-Kaminski Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com $20.00 (+$3.18) General Reserved Seating $10.00 (+$0.00) Student Reserved Seating Wheelchair seating available -- contact info@eastcountyarts.org for details.

A Professor of History at UCSD, Rebecca Jo Plant will explore the topic of underage soldiers who fought in the American Civil by focusing on the political, military, and legal debates over young enlistees in both the Union and Confederacy. The problem of youth enlistment intersected with larger issues, including the relationship between parental rights and children’s obligations, the appropriate balance of power between state and federal governments, and the degree to which the military should be answerable to local communities. Collaborating with Professor Frances M. Clarke of the University of Sydney, their extensive research on this topic has been published in their book “Of Age: Boy Soldiers and Military Power in the Civil War Era,” which won the 2024 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize.
