California Western School of Law (CWSL) is excited to honor our commitment to our community and further fulfill our mission by hosting "The Bias Inside Us" – an exhibition and community engagement project from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES). "The Bias Inside Us" is an exploration of the social science, psychology, and consequences of implicit bias. Bias is an innate human trait; we all have it. Being aware of our bias can help us recognize their influence and impact on our behaviors and worldview. "The Bias Inside Us" offers an opportunity to learn how to challenge bias in the world through awareness of one’s own bias. Credit: "The Bias Inside Us" is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. Major support is provided by The Otto Bremer Trust. Local support is provided by San Diego Foundation and the Law, Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity (LEID) Fund. For more information visit: cwsl.edu Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram

This Christmas take a mysterious train journey across Europe from Venice, Italy to Zurich, Switzerland during the waning days of World War I (1916). Based on historical events, “Passage Into Fear” is written and directed by master storyteller Charles Carr (Eldridge, Dramatic, Heartland). The show, which has been produced across the country, comes to the Center for the first time. “Passage Into Fear” tells the story of an English dowager, Mrs. Lillian Merriweather, who boards the train insisting she knows of a sinister plot with vast international repercussions. And is then promptly done in. An American socialite, Kate Hedley, on a final fling before returning home to be unhappily married and Ida, a pugnacious 9-year-old Ukrainian war orphan, join forces with others to uncover the truth behind Mrs. Merriweather’s disappearance, which has its roots in the causes and history of the Great War itself. While primarily a thriller, the show has many humorous and touching moments as it explores the meanings of home, family, and Christmas. “Passage Into Fear” stars Ashley Birtwell, Lena Palke, Alaina Fiechtner, Betsy Toker, John Aviles, Marsi Carr, Neha Ford Curtiss, Charlie DeNatale, Jeff Makey, Laura Makey, and Kadijah Pointer. Shows take place in the Center’s intimate Studio 1 Theater, a roughly 100-seat venue that has the intimate feel of an off-Broadway show complete with professional lighting, sets, costumes, sound and music. Note that because seating is limited, past North County Players shows have sold out quickly. It is suggested you get tickets as soon as possible. Tickets are now on sale now on the CA Center for the Arts website: www.artcenter.org. General seating is $19. Student, military, senior, child discount tickets are $16.

This collection of works on its own can’t possibly answer these questions, but may pose some of its own… Program to include: Haydn – Quartet No. 39 in F♯ minor, Op. 50, No. 4 (1787) Ravel – Quartet (1903) Ned Rorem – Quartet No. 4 (1995)
