"Ripcord" By David Lindsay-Abaire Directed by Phil Johnson Starring Linda Libby, Eileen Bowman, John DeCarlo, Sam Ginn, Eddy Lukovic & Matthew Javier-Derek In "Ripcord," what begins as a simple roommate standoff quickly turns into an all-out war of wills!

As their standoff spins further out of control, the laughs get bigger, the risks get higher, and something unexpected begins to take shape beneath it all. "Ripcord" is a fast, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt comedy about unlikely friendship, stubborn pride, and what it takes to truly shake someone out of their shell.

Founded in 2020, Black Birders Week celebrates Black birders, naturalists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts while advocating for inclusion, safety, visibility, and environmental justice in outdoor spaces.

Together, we’ll explore the birds, native habitat, and natural beauty of one of San Diego’s important neighborhood outdoor spaces while building connection, community, and belonging in the outdoors. This walk is an opportunity for local residents, families, youth, and nature lovers of all experience levels to connect with nature close to home and celebrate the importance of caring for shared community spaces. Saturday, May 30, 2026 • 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. Free community event — everyone is welcome. No birding experience needed.
