Learn to Weave! Sunday, September 28, from 2-6 p.m. Join us for an afternoon of fiber friendship and camaraderie. Weaving is an ancient craft; it shelters and clothes as well as adorns our spaces, adding texture, color, design and inspiration to our lives. And it is the actual process of weaving, along with selecting fibers, natural objects; guiding weft through the vertical foundation of warp strings; creating pattern/texture as the process unfolds…these steps continue to connect us with the past, and more importantly, with ourselves. Join in this weaving workshop as we weave intuitively and work together in a space of creativity and openness. Instructor Jeanine Ertl will provide guidance in a variety of weaving techniques and will surround you with warped looms to work on, tools to learn with, natural fibers, and foraged and gathered natural objects to incorporate into your weavings. Feel free to bring your own items to weave into your piece, especially if there are any fibers/yarns, stones/crystals, shells, leaves/grasses, etc. that you’d like to experiment with. Each weaver will complete a one-of-a-kind woven textile. We’ll have rods on hand for those who would like to adapt their pieces into wall hangings. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! Materials included. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified.

Scripps Ranch Theatre kicks off their Season 46 with "Kimberly Akimbo," written by David Lindsay-Abaire. Directed by Ted Leib. The prospect of dying by age 16 hardly seems like obvious fodder for comedy. This play, which inspired the musical that took Broadway by storm in 2022, is a haunting and hilarious dark comedy that offers theatre at its most wacky and original. "Kimberly Akimbo" tells the story of a girl with a genetic disorder that accelerates her aging process – she’s going on 16, but has the body of someone four times older. "Kimberly Akimbo" manages to ask the big questions about family and mortality in a funny, zany and heartfelt tone. The New York Times called it “the comedy of the year.” The production runs September 26 - October 19 on the campus of Alliant International University. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There is a preview performance on Friday September 26 at 7:30 p.m.

One person was killed and six more were wounded in a shooting Saturday night at Pennsylvania's Lincoln University.

Enter through a vibrant display of hay bales and pumpkins and dive into fall fun featuring ocean science and hands-on exploration. New this year — trick-or-treat in Adam R. Scripps Living Seas Gallery as it transforms from day-to-night with special lighting and glowing surprises around every corner. Plus don’t miss the science of slime as you embrace your inner scientist! “The ocean is filled with unique, alien-like — but most importantly, slimy — creatures!” said Matthew Arrollado, Public Programs Coordinator. “In the Boo and Goo Lab, young scientists will get a chance to play in some sensory slime, explore the science of Oobleck and touch some slimy ocean animals.” Don’t miss the chance to show off your Halloween costume during the parade through the aquarium or watch as Birch Aquarium divers demonstrate their underwater pumpkin carving skills! Other activities include live music from Billy Lee and The Swamp Critters, pop-up science stations, classic arcade games and more!
