From the organizer: Patio Playhouse Community Theater proudly presents "Murder Ballad," with book and lyrics by Julia Jordan and music and lyrics by Juliana Nash Patio Playhouse Community Theater is proud to present this steamy musical about a love triangle gone awry with book and lyrics by Julia Jordan and music and lyrics by Juliana Nash, now running at Patio Playhouse’s Kalmia location through November 6. The story centers around Sara, a young woman whose relationship with wild bartender Tom is supplanted for a more reasonable and stable future with NYU scholar Michael. When Sara’s itch for passion returns, she finds herself enticed by a dangerous proposition and secretly diving into a sexy affair with Tom yet again, unbeknownst to her husband and daughter. How can it possibly last? There’s something chillingly perfect about presenting a murder ballad this time of year, and the skilled cast members capitalize on the danger of October, weaving the story together in a way that has audiences on the edge of their seats.The cast of four (Josalyn Johnson as the Narrator, Sarah LeClair as Sara, Jason Schlarmann as Tom, Robert Alegria as Michael, and Kylie Buckland as Sara/Narrator U/S) are accompanied by a live band led by Music Director Jerrica Ignacio that will have audiences rocking. And, now entering its second weekend, Murder Ballad has received positive acclaim from audiences, who rave in particular about the talent of the performers and the suspense inherent to a show that mashes together musical and murder.

You can help make our roadways safe from impaired drivers until there are #NoMoreVictims. Saturday, October 22 at 7 a.m. San Diego City College 1313 Park Boulevard, San Diego Parking available south of Russ Boulevard at 16th Street Register to join Ken Collier's Crew and His Public Safety Family here: https://www.walklikemadd.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=19251 The 5K walk/run honors the memory of Deputy Ken Collier and continues the work he started in 2010 to save lives. Our goal is to raise awareness on the impact impaired driving can have on families after a loved one is killed by a drunk or drugged driver. Why We Walk Twelve years ago, Deputy Ken Collier was killed while trying to stop a driver who was drunk and high on drugs going the wrong way on SR-52 in Santee. His life was cut short robbing his family of a son, brother and fiancé. We also lost a treasured colleague. Impaired driving impacts two out of three people in their lifetime. Every hour, someone is killed in a DUI crash. There are real people behind these numbers. Together, we can stop drunk and drugged driving, as well as prevent underage drinking by simply walking. All of the funds raised from the walk will help to educate youths and parents about the consequences of underage drinking and driving. Some of the money will be used to help victims or close loopholes in many existing laws.
