The Skylarks, a quartet singing pop hits from the Girl Group era of the 50s through the 70s, will perform an intimate concert on Saturday, March 23 at 7 p.m. at Point Loma Assembly Hall. The Skylarks were founded by Julie Chan in 2018. “I had always wanted to form a group to perform iconic girl group songs,” said Chan. “We have a great set list that includes hits from the Ronettes, the Chiffons, the Chordettes—and even some Beach Boys and the Mammas and the Pappas thrown in.” The Skylarks members are altos Susan Elden and Vicki Moore, and sopranos Julie Chan and Kerri De Rosier. The Skylarks have been performing for private groups and events around town, and are excited to bring their unique show to the public at the Point Loma Assembly. Skylarks Live at the Assembly will feature music through the decades, with fifties hits such as Why do Fools Fall in Love by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and Lollipop by the Chordettes; sixties hits like My Boyfriend’s Back by The Angels and Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-Las; and hits from as early as the forties and as late as the eighties. “We have something for everyone,” said Chan. “It will be a fun night for all.” Stay Connected on Social Media!

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and Murals of La Jolla present Michael Mercil as he gives attendees an inside look on his career, process, recent projects, and 2023 mural ART IS GOOD FOR YOU, commissioned by Murals of La Jolla. The Ohio-based artist explores the realms of “the near, the low, the common” and incorporates an expansive number of mediums (drawing, painting, needlepoint, sculpture, landscape architecture, film, performance, teaching, and farming) in his art. Painted directly on-site, with a complementary color palette that pops, the text becomes a lively imperative to embrace art as a crucial and ubiquitous aspect of daily life. Mercil received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and an MFA from the University of Chicago. His work has been featured in many prominent institutions, including The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia; the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; The Living Culture Initiative in collaboration with Ann Hamilton at OSU; The Beanfield, The Virtual Pasture, and Site set-aside projects at Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus; and the Art Market™, an ongoing, Columbus-based studio project.

Nancy Savoca’s star-studded indie gem is a chronicle of a spirited Italian-American New York family that perfectly balances humor, tragedy, and pathos. Joseph Santangelo (Vincent D’Onofrio) is a butcher with a wicked sense of humor who “wins” his wife Catherine (a stellar Tracey Ullman) in a pinochle game. Over the protests of his mother (Judith Malina) who talks to ghosts and makes deals with saints, Joseph marries Catherine. When the old lady dies, her spirit is channeled into her granddaughter Teresa who overtakes the film with her yearning to serve God. Perfectly embodying a modern-day Bernadette, Lili Taylor imbues Teresa with a mix of dedicated innocence and naïveté. Executive produced by Jonathan Demme, with memorable performances from Michael Imperioli, Michael Rispoli and Victor Argo, Household Saints showcases a unique voice in 1990s independent filmmaking. Household Saints has been digitally restored and remastered by Lightbox Film Center at University of the Arts (Philadelphia) in collaboration with Milestone Films with support from Ron and Suzanne Naples. Restoration Supervisor: Ross Lipman, Corpus Fluxus. Picture Restoration: Illuminate Hollywood. Sound Restoration: Audio Mechanics.

The success of Dario Argento’s "The Bird with The Crystal Plumage" ushered in a wave of new, modern takes on the giallo thriller. Some rose above the crowd thanks to skillful execution and stylistic experimentation. Case in point: "The Fifth Cord", which, in the hands of director Luigi Bazzoni (Le Orme, the Possessed), turns a conventional premise into a visually stunning exploration of alienation and isolation. When a man barely survives a brutal assault en route home from a New Year’s party, washed-up, whisky-swilling journalist Franco Nero (DJANGO) is assigned to the case. Before long, the maniac strikes again, this time with fatal results. As the body count rises, Nero is under suspicion himself, making it even more imperative that he crack the case. His only clue: black gloves found at the location of every attack, each with a finger cut off… “Remember that classic scene in "Crystal Plumage" where a victim-to-be ascends a dark staircase, lit only by a flickering candle in her hand? Ever want to see an entire movie shot so beautifully? Thanks to Vittorio Storaro (1900, Apocalypse Now), the same cinematographer, this fascinating giallo has enough visual style to fuel a dozen other thrillers.” — Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital Stay Updated with Digital Gym Cinema!
