August 10 through August 18, 2024 at the beautiful and historic Portuguese Hall in Point Loma. Catch a Star Theater Company is thrilled to announce it’s upcoming production of Love, Loss and What I Wore from the acclaimed writers of when Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle. A heart warming play based on Iileen Beckermans memoir. Love, Loss and What I Wore promises an evening filled with laughter, tears, and relatable moments. This play is a unique, theatrical experience, blending the wit and wisdom of the Efron sisters with Beckman‘s poignant storytelling. This is a story with a chorus of women’s voices that speak of bittersweet stories about everything from motherhood, wardrobe malfunctions, experiences in the dressing room, divorce, grief, cancer, and other matters of the heart using clothing as a metaphor for women’s experiences. If there is one thing, the female species has in common is a deep and abiding love/hate relationship with their wardrobe. This wonderfully witty show illustrates what one wears to the party is sometimes more memorable than the party itself. Our cast brings these stories to life with such authenticity and warmth. Audiences will feel like they’re having a heart-to-heart with their best friend over coffee,”said Dena Mattox, the Director. “It’s a celebration of women’s stories and the strength found in shared experiences.” Cast: Dena Mattox, Catherine DeBrule, Milena (Sellers) Phillips, Donnalee Brayman, Bowles and Dr. Victoria Meyers. Staged at the beautiful, historic Portuguese Hall for a limited engagement.

Stained glass is unusual among the arts because of its direct relationship with light. When light passes through colored glass, different values, textures, and densities combine to form an extraordinary palette. Explore this magic by creating your own unique leaded stained-glass panel. In this 7-week course, you will learn from stained glass professional Lisa Maywood as you complete one or more 2-dimensional panels that will transform any room or space. The enrollment fee covers the cost of basic drawing materials, lead, solder, cement, and the use of the tools and machinery. Glass will be procured by each student on their own outside of class. Blue Dolphin Glass is a great local source in San Diego. If you prefer your own supplies, please bring your own colored pencils and paper that is larger than 12″x12″ to the first class as you plan your project(s).
