Broadway San Diego presents '1776': What will it take to get two dozen powerfully passionate, exceedingly complicated, and all-too-human individuals to settle their differences, while they hold the very future of a nation in their hands? The Tony Award-winning Best Musical 1776 catapults to blazing new life in a thrillingly new production from directors Jeffrey L. Page (Violet) and Diane Paulus (Waitress). New York Magazine/Vulture says, “it’s an absolute blast!” Suddenly, the songs, humor, and passion of this musical masterpiece soar as never before. A glorious multiracial cast of female, transgender, and nonbinary actors portrays the fiery founders of this country, putting history in the hands of the humans who were left out the first time around—and the result is an epic show of passion, debate, and roof-raising musical fireworks. Experience “a 1776 worth celebrating!” (Variety) “It pulsates with energy and snaps with attitude.” You may never think about our country—who we are and why—the same way again.

Everything Must Go Sept. 10 - Oct. 15, 2022 Opening Reception 5-8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. From the gallery: BEST PRACTICE is pleased to announce the opening of Everything Must Go, an exhibition of an ongoing body of paintings by Keaton Macon. In these works, the artist has rendered in oil on canvas one to one scale images of album covers from his personal record collection. The paintings in Everything Must Go continue Keaton’s interest in tactile media. Each record derives from an impression of a master copy; the grooves deepen and often are ruined by use and misuse. Despite their delicate surface the records’ robust bodies allows for them to be circulated and recirculated over decades entering and exiting the lives and spaces of many people. These paintings, each composed with the signs of use and recirculation (price tags) of the objects they depict serve as a document of that process. The eclectic nature of the artist’s record collection, amassed over the last two decades by rifling through dollar bins and as gifts from friends and family, speaks to the wide range of his musical interests. The selection of records as subjects for paintings is nuanced and is made based on a personal and intuitive relationship to form and text. About the artist: Keaton Macon is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator working in drawing, painting, and installation. He uses images, objects, and sound to allude to historical events and collective memory, and the gaps in knowledge and experience that they produce. These arrangements often skirt attempts of piecing back together events, in favor of producing sensory experiences that ground the viewer in the now. His work has been exhibited at 356 Mission, Queens Los Angeles, Laurel Doody, PØST, RAFFMA at California State University San Bernardino, Shosanna Wayne Gallery, and was part of the KChungproject series at The Hammer. Recently, Macon was included in the MexiCaliBiennial and The Other Places Art Fair. Related links: Best Practice on Instagram Best Practice visiting information
