Join us at Sew Loka in Barrio Logan for Sew Rebellious — a full day of creativity, connection, and collective action. We're bringing together makers, artists, and community members for a hands-on experience where every stitch supports immigrant rights. Tote Bag Making Workshop $40 Learn to sew your very own custom tote bag from scratch in our guided workshop. Each participant will receive an exclusive "Sew Rebellious" patch to sew onto their bag — a wearable reminder that creativity and resistance go hand in hand. Also, enjoy a free cup of coffee on us! Spots are limited to 40, so grab yours before they're gone. Embroidery Kits $20 Want to take it at your own pace? Pick up an Embroidery Kit and spend the day stitching from a variety of designs, including our exclusive Sew Rebellious embroidery pattern. No experience needed — just pull up, grab a hoop, and create something meaningful. Embroidery kits are $20 each. This isn't just a workshop — it's a gathering. Expect coffee, beats, poetry, and good energy all day long. Whether you're a seasoned maker or picking up a needle for the first time, this is your space to slow down, get creative, and be part of something bigger. 100% of proceeds from both the tote bag workshop and embroidery kits will be donated directly to the ACLU to support immigrant communities and civil liberties. Our goal is to raise $3,000 in a single day — and we need you to help us get there. Come through. Create something beautiful. Stand for something that matters. Sew Rebellious. Sew Loka. One day. One cause. Sew Loka: Website / Facebook / Instagram

Music and Lyrics by Mark Hollmann Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotis Directed and Choreographed by Katie Banville & Melissa Glasgow Music Direction by Michelle Grey "Urinetown, The Musical" is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! In a city not unlike our own, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Tickets are available at www.StagehouseTheatre.com or by calling 619-644-7234.
