New Village Arts partners with the Oceanside Theatre Company to co-produce Stephen Sondheim’s "Into The Woods," directed by Kristianne Kurner. Interwoven through fairy tales is the story of a baker and his wife, whose longing for a child is thwarted by a mischievous witch. Sondheim’s songs, seamlessly melded to James Lapine’s text, are perfect expressions of the complications of living in modern society and the difficult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives. "Into The Woods" will transform the Oceanside Theatre Company’s stage into a magic land where almost anything can (and does) happen.

Please join us for this important talk followed by Q&A with Dr. Chad Hanson, author of the book "Smokescreen: Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Our Climate". Natural fires are as essential as sun and rain in fire-adapted forests, but as humans encroach on wild spaces, fear, arrogance, and greed have shaped the way that people view these regenerative events and have given rise to misinformation. The peril that these myths pose to forests is profound—affecting whole habitats and the wildlife that depend on them. The exploitation of these carbon dioxide-absorbing ecosystems also threatens humanity's chance of overcoming the climate crisis. Dr. Chad Hanson will address these issues and suggest a better, science-based, and more hopeful path forward, as he discusses in his new book, Smokescreen: Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Our Climate. Dr. Hanson is a research ecologist and the director of the John Muir Project of Earth Island Institute, located in Big Bear City, California, and has a Ph.D. in ecology with a research focus on fire ecology in conifer forest ecosystems. He has published dozens of peer-reviewed studies on forest and fire ecology and is also the co-editor and co-author of the 2015 book, The Ecological Importance of Mixed-Severity Fires: Nature’s Phoenix.
