Famed Chicano performance troupe Culture Clash, featuring Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza, proudly returns to San Diego for one special performance celebrating the group’s 40th Anniversary. “Culture Clash’s 40th Anniversary Desmadre” is an all-new show in honor of 40 years of comedy that will serve up an explosive cocktail of humor and satirical outrage. Through residencies across the city in the 1990s and 2000s, this eclectic group of California natives became a favorite for many San Diego theatre and comedy fans, developing a large diverse loyal fan base. “Their comedy can be rude, crude, witty, refined, pointed and highbrow, often within the same sketch. Their shows are driven with broad strokes of sweeping yet topical satire penetrating their targets every moment they take the stage” writes The San Jose Mercury News. They will be joined by longtime friend collaborator Kirk Ward and hilarious standup comedian Mala Muñoz. Pianist Michael Roth will accompany Culture Clash throughout the evening. Get ready to celebrate four decades of humor, satire, and desmadre (that's chaos!) with Culture Clash! Tickets are available via San Diego Theatres and Ticketmaster.

This concert promises to be an uplifting and inspiring event, providing a much-needed message of hope, love, light, and unity during a time when many feel the weight of division in our society. Under the artistic direction of Kathleen Hansen, "Hope for the Holidays" will feature a thoughtful mix of winter and holiday songs that represent the joy and love of the season. The selected repertoire reflects SDWC’s mission to unite people of all backgrounds through music. Audience members will be treated to an afternoon of beautiful harmonies that transcend the hustle and bustle of the season, offering a moment of peace and togetherness. "This year, we've seen a lot of ups and downs, socially, politically, and emotionally," said Artistic Director Kathleen Hansen. “Through our music, we want to offer the community a sense of unity and hope as we begin the winter season.” The performance will feature a variety of songs, many written or arranged by female and minority composers, including music from Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson, Alexandra Olsavsky of Artemesia, Sia, Joan Szymko, Erica Phare-Bergh, Danielle Jagelski, Claire F. Miley, and Linda Hirschhorn. The musical styles represented include traditional Scots, Gaelic and British songs, a current pop hit holiday song, a medieval Spanish carol, Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, a folk anthem for love and activism, Chanukah Solstice, and more. SDWC invites everyone to come and enjoy this diverse and empowering concert, filled with the spirit of the holidays and messages of resilience and peace. "Hope for the Holidays" offers a brief yet meaningful escape from the stress of the holiday season, encouraging the community to come together and find hope in music.

Dejamos nuestro último episodio preguntándonos sobre los costos de construir una casa con derivados de la arcilla. ¡Resulta que es barato! Entonces, si es barato, ¿más personas han aprovechado la oportunidad de construir de esta manera? y ¿por qué no se ha popularizado en entornos urbanos? Para responder a estas preguntas, continuamos la conversación con Miguel Ángel Pérez, un bioconstructor de Baja, y hablamos sobre los costos de la construcción con arcilla. Tambien charlamos con Rachel Formanek, una neoyorquina que se mudó de California a Baja para encontrar condiciones de vida mejores y más asequibles. Por último, nos sentamos con Alex Ruiz, director de planificación urbana en Tecate y nos dió una nueva perspectiva sobre la viabilidad de la construcción con tierra en entornos urbanos. Foto de portada: Carlos Jaime and Cuahtémoc Herrera Sobre la temporada 6 Port of Entry tiene una nueva temporada con más historias de nuestra región fronteriza.
