Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake live at Viejas Arena on Saturday, September 2. About the Artist: A contemporary singer/songwriter who makes passionate, faith-based rock music, Phil Wickham's name was already well known in Christian music circles by the time his fourth album, 2009's Heaven & Earth, found crossover success on Billboard's pop charts. A string of successful albums followed before Wickham's career was sidelined by a vocal injury in 2014. Overcoming his ailment, he achieved both a spiritual and commercial resurgence with his 2016 album Children of God. He scored two consecutive Billboard Top Christian Albums with 2018's Living Hope and 2021's Hymn of Heaven, as well as Top 30 Christian singles with 2022's "Worthy of My Song (Worthy of It All)" and 2023's "This Is Our God."

"Ripcord" By David Lindsay-Abaire A comedy of one-up-womanship Jan. 13 - Jan. 29, 2023 Thursday - Saturday @ 8 p.m., Sat-Sun Matinee @ 2 p.m. Directed by Kira Blaskovich It’s not every day you see a play based on two senior women in competition for sole access to the room of an assisted living facility. But that’s exactly what David Lindsay-Abaire, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of "Rabbit Hole," "Fuddy Meers," and "Good People," has put forth in the quirky comedy, "Ripcord." Full of hijinks and pranks, the fun doesn’t stop at the opposing personalities of Abby Binder and Marilyn Dunne. "Ripcord" pushes past the typical “Odd Couple” formula to present nuanced and interesting characters with the type of lived experiences that could only come from age. From sudoku to skydiving, the secrets among them will almost break these women while simultaneously solidifying their friendship. Coronado Playhouse on Facebook / Instagram
