As a general assignment reporter, I report on a wide range of different issues that affect the diverse neighborhoods of San Diego County including business, health, arts & culture and politics.

Picasso was the first rock-star artist—a ferocious pacifist, obsessive art maker, flamboyantly opinionated philosopher, and self-proclaimed clown—who relished his passionate views about love, death, war, beauty, eternity, and creativity. Herbert Siguenza creates a joyful and mesmerizing portrait of the maestro as he dances, sculpts, shares secrets, clowns, draws and impersonates a matador while extensively quoting the father of modern art. With a skill that will amaze you, the actor draws and paints in real time during his performance! Having wowed audiences in San Diego, L.A., the Bay Area, Houston, Denver, and more, Siguenza’s one-man tour de force returns for a limited time on film, stronger than a bull in a china shop! Date | Available for streaming until Sunday, February 6 at midnight Location | Online Get tickets here! Access to the play goes from $15 to $250. This show is brought to you by San Diego Repertory Theatre. For more information, please visit sdrep.org/show-detail.php?id=634 or call (619) 544-1000.
