"Café con Pam," the San Diego podcast that has spent ten years telling the stories of Latine, BIPOC founders and first generation leaders, is throwing a slumber party for its tenth birthday. Pajamas required. The night opens with "Future Tuesday," a live workshop on guided journaling and practical nervous system tools built around one question: what if your future is something you can remember instead of something you have to chase? Every guest takes home the first edition of the "Future Tuesday" journal. Then host Pam Covarrubias records a live episode called "The Unmuted Room." The audience brings the real questions and gets coached on the record. Also in the room: chef prepared pajama food including popcorn with olive oil and gluten free artisanal corn dogs, a goodie bag stocked by local and national businesses, and a virtual debrief session a few weeks after the event, included with every ticket. Tickets are pay what you can, starting at $10, because "Café con Pam" is turning ten and also because accessibility is important. Doors at 6 p.m. Pam Covarrubias on Instagram

"Oh, Mary!" is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola). Declared “one of the best comedies in years” by The New York Times, "Oh, Mary!" received two Tony Awards® including Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton), Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play, as well as a special citation from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle. It was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize® for Drama. San Diego Civic Theatre on Facebook / Instagram

Saturday, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, 2 p.m. Matthias Pintscher, conductor Blake Pouliot, violin PINTSCHER: "Assonanza" for Violin and Chamber Orchestra RAVEL: Tzigane, "rapsodie de concert" for Violin and Orchestra COPLAND: Symphony No. 3 German-born conductor and composer Matthias Pintscher returns to the San Diego Symphony with a program of striking contrasts – opening with his own shimmering "Assonanza" and closing with Aaron Copland’s monumental Symphony No. 3, the most iconic American symphony ever written. Pintscher, who has lived in the United States for nearly two decades, is celebrated for music of luminous texture and refined color. Assonanza – the Italian term for assonance – plays with echoes and patterns of sound, much as poets shape rhymes and rhythms that linger on the ear. Originally written for solo violin, the piece evolved into a miniature concerto in which the orchestra serves as an echo chamber, reflecting and transforming the violin’s phrases. Canadian soloist Blake Pouliot brings its intricate brilliance to life. Ravel’s sparkling Tzigane, inspired by the Hungarian Jewish violinist Jelly d’Arányi, follows – a virtuosic homage to the Romani violin tradition that enchanted European audiences in the 1920s. The program concludes with Copland’s Symphony No. 3, written at the close of World War II. Majestic, optimistic, and quintessentially American, it weaves noble lyricism with the triumphant “Fanfare for the Common Man,” affirming a nation’s spirit at peace.
