"Threshold Encounter": A Guided Waking-Dream Lab "Threshold Encounter" is an after-dark guided arts experience using personal objects, lantern light, low sound, gentle movement, and the architecture of the room. Participants gather first by lantern light, then enter the larger space together. Through simple guided actions — listening, moving, arranging, noticing, and crossing — the group creates a shared threshold environment: a place where ordinary objects and spaces can begin to feel more charged, intimate, and alive than usual. This is not a performance, class, or therapy session. There is nothing to perform, explain, or get right. The experience is quiet, embodied, and participatory, designed for people curious about dreams, ritual, immersive art, symbolic encounter, personal transition, and the hidden life of ordinary things. Participants should bring 3–5 small objects or physical images from home — simple things that feel meaningful, curious, or charged when held. No art, theatre, meditation, or spiritual background is needed. Details: • 90 minutes, intentionally held after dark • 18+ • Limited capacity • Low light, ambient sound, gentle movement, and periods of silence • No performance required • Sharing afterward is optional • Please arrive 10 minutes early • Participants are asked not to take photos or videos during the lab This is the first in-person "Threshold Encounter" series at Expressive Arts @ 32nd & Thorn, with sessions on May 15, June 5, and June 19. May 15 is a pilot event and is pay-what-you-can, $25 suggested. June 5 and June 19 tickets are available at $20 (Community), $25 (Standard), $35 (Supporter). Tickets must be purchased online through Eventbrite. Capacity is limited. Geoffrey Schön | Depth Immersion Theatre on Instagram

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" takes us on a journey with an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents as they participate in the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. Content Disclaimer: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is not recommended for audiences under the age of 13. Content includes mature themes, adult language, sexual innuendos, and sensitive discussions about family, anxiety, puberty. Oceanside Theatre Company on Facebook / Instagram

In recognition of Foster Care Awareness Month, the free, community-centered event will bring together nonprofit organizations, community leaders, volunteers, and young people looking for a path to success for an afternoon of connection, celebration, and collaboration.

Attendees from the broader community will also have the opportunity to connect with organizations, explore volunteer opportunities, and learn how to get involved in supporting local youth. The event will feature approximately 40 participating organizations offering resources across a wide range of services, including housing, education, job training, mental health support, financial literacy, and health services. Participating organizations will engage directly with attendees, showcase their impact, and connect with other peer organizations to identify gaps they can address together, helping to build stronger, more collaborative partnerships. Attendees can expect a lively, family-friendly atmosphere with live entertainment, interactive experiences, and local food. The event will feature a performance by San Diego-based artist Divina Jasso, along with entertainment from magician The Amazing Dana. Guests can also participate in yoga sessions, enjoy an open-air glam booth, and hear directly from two JIT youth speakers sharing their personal stories. A lineup of local food trucks, including Dirty Birds, Born in Brooklyn, Dilly’s Ice Cream, and Juicy Shawarma, will be on-site throughout the event. More than just a one-day event, “Igniting Hope, Building CommUNITY” represents a broader shift toward collaboration in the nonprofit sector, bringing organizations together to better serve individuals who need a reliable, connected network of support. Participating organizations include: Promises2Kids Youth Assistance Coalition Urban Street Angels YMCA Doors of Change Home Start California Youth Connection Our Arts Community Resource Center Kitchens for Good United 4 Youth And more! The festival is made possible through the support of key sponsors including San Diego Foundation, SDG&E, U.S. Bank, Kiwanis Club of San Diego, and the Foster Youth Transitions Collaborative.
