The film that put director Zhang Yimou and star Gong Li on the international cinema map follows beautiful young Ju Dou as she is married off to an egregiously cruel, and also impotent, owner of a dye mill in the Chinese countryside in the early 20th century. When the boss’ nephew arrives on the scene, he and Ju Dou fall for each other with lustful abandon. Their impassioned affair soon leads to a son. After the clandestine couple convinces the despotic husband that he is the father, the boy is raised as his long-awaited heir. However the myriad complications of infidelity lead to a visceral and psychological melee between the lovers and their ruler with explosively dramatic turns. With its stunning mise en scène and sumptuous use of color, "Ju Dou" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards® and has earned a reputation as one of the greatest Chinese films ever made.

Season passes are now available for the 2026 season of Songwriter Sanctuary, San Diego’s premier original music showcase hosted by SD Music Hall of Famer Jeff Berkley in partnership with Normal Heights United. Available in limited quantities through January 29, season passes offer patrons full access to every concert in the 2026 season, along with complimentary drink tickets and guest passes, while directly supporting fair pay for local artists and increased accessibility across the series. A San Diego Mainstay Opening with a 3rd anniversary celebration on Friday, January 30 featuring Eve Selis, Omo Cloud, and Lisa Sanders with Brown Sugar, the monthly series - known for its intimate listening room atmosphere and in-the-round format - continues to schedule an exciting and eclectic mix of homegrown talent. This includes three SD Music Hall of Fame inductees (Selis, Sanders, and Robin Henkel), Grammy winner Kevin Cooper, The Voice semifinalist Cedrice, multiple San Diego Music Award nominees and winners (including Whitney Shay, Riston Diggs, and Marie Haddad), and a strong lineup of rising San Diego artists such as Sumn Trop, The Dimes, and Jay Freed. It all takes place at Normal Heights United’s gorgeous and historic 125+ year old sanctuary – a space designed for sound and story to resonate. New in 2026 The 2026 season marks Songwriter Sanctuary’s first year operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since late 2023, the series has been curated and promoted by two-time San Diego Music Award winner Lindsay White, who views the transition as a critical step toward long-term sustainability for both artists and audiences. “Becoming a nonprofit allows us to build the infrastructure needed to fairly compensate musicians and remove barriers for our community,” said White. “Season pass support is one of the most direct ways people can help make that possible.” The impact of the transition is already visible. Since receiving its IRS determination letter, Songwriter Sanctuary has secured funding to provide ASL interpretation for multiple concerts throughout the 2026 season, including the January opener. Previously, ASL services were limited to a single Disability Pride showcase in 2025. “Our goal is to make accessibility and living wages the rule, not the exception,” White added. “Season passes and community partnerships help turn that goal into something tangible.” Collaboration is Key This year, collaboration will be a defining feature of the series. The 2026 season includes partner showcases with Raspberry Management for June’s LGBTQ+ Pride celebration, Listen Local Radio for an August Ramona road show, and Board Member and San Diego Music Award nominee Julia Sage for September’s Hispanic Heritage Month showcase. The season will conclude with a holiday extravaganza in collaboration with Writers Round San Diego, Songwriter Sanctuary’s sister organization. “One of the things that sets San Diego’s music scene apart is how deeply connected it is,” said White. “This season is all about co-creating meaningful live music experiences with people who are genuinely invested in lifting up local artists in tangible ways.” Season Passes and Single Day Tickets A limited number of season passes are available through January 29. Pass holders receive entry to all 2026 concerts, complimentary drink tickets, guest passes, and the opportunity to directly support local musicians and expanded accessibility efforts.
