From the theater: Four (very) well-intentioned theatre people walk into an elementary school. The work at hand: a Thanksgiving pageant that won’t ruffle any feathers. What could possibly go wrong? In MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s skewering and satirical comedy, well, just about everything. Rambunctious, thorny and not altogether politically correct, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY serves up the hypocrisies of woke America on a big, family-style platter. Featuring some of San Diego’s finest theatrical comedians: Kenny Bordieri, Samantha Ginn, AJ Knox, and Erica Marie Weisz. In producing this show, we are honored to welcome our first Native American playwright to the Ray Charles Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre at the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center. THE THANKSGIVING PLAY will run October 12th through November 3rd. Previews will happen on October 4-11th, with an Opening Night Reception on October 12th, 2024.

This free educator training organized by Outside the Lens is part of a series of fall workshops for teachers with a focus on Arts Integration in K-12 schools. The September 25 session connects Social Science and Media Arts and covers the essential question: How can photography be used to capture and communicate the essence of daily life in a way that helps future generations understand our present? Participants will utilize photography to investigate historical documentation and to connect with their present-day experiences. Are you an educator seeking innovative ways to engage your students and integrate media arts into your classroom? Our hands-on, two-hour participatory workshops are designed to provide elementary educators with the tools and strategies you need to seamlessly integrate media arts into your core curriculum (English Language Arts, Math, Social Science and Math). Note: If you do not have cameras at your site, it is okay! Students can use any device with a camera such as a Chromebook, tablet, or phone to take pictures. Reserve your spot today!
