On Honolulu's famous Waikiki Beach stand four large stones that represent a Hawaiian tradition of healing and gender diversity that is all but unknown to the millions of locals and tourists passing by.

The rhythmic clicking of machinery turned off and on. The cold and clinical air and the faint scent of disinfectant. A small, plastic cup of freshly cubed watermelons. In September and October of the year 2020, fires, carried by the Santa Ana winds, swept over and ravaged the California hillsides during record breaking heatwaves. Meanwhile, a global pandemic kept millions of citizens around the world locked in their homes. Alongside this, Andrew Alcasid sat in his own kind of isolation in the Bone Marrow Transplant unit at the Jacobs Medical Center at the University of California, San Diego.

From the KPBS weekend arts preview: The world premiere of Kimber Lee's play will finally open at the La Jolla Playhouse — after postponing its anticipated spring 2020 opening. "To the yellow house" is set during a two year period in Vincent Van Gogh's life, which Lee became fascinated with after reading Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith's comprehensive biography, "Van Gogh: The Life." She noticed there were some years largely missing in what we know about the great painter's life, and looked to fill in those details. It's set mostly in Paris and the southern city of Arles (the location of the actual yellow house), at a time when Van Gogh was particularly struggling with his work. Keep an eye out for my feature on The Playhouse's production of "to the yellow house" later this week. Details: Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. Performances continue, Tuesdays through Sundays, through Dec. 12. The La Jolla Playhouse Mandell Weiss Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Dr., La Jolla. $39-75. Military discounts available. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the Playhouse: November 16 – December 12, 2021 at the La Jolla Playhouse Mandell Weiss Theatre "to the yellow house" by Kimber Lee Directed by Neel Keller February 1886. Vincent van Gogh is broke again. Trailing past-due notices and annoyed innkeepers, he arrives unexpectedly at his brother’s doorstep in Montmartre determined to make another fresh start. Caught in the colorful whirl of the Parisian art scene, he drinks too much, falls in love with the wrong woman, argues with everyone – and paints. Night and day he works to translate what he feels onto the canvas, relentlessly chasing a new form of expression that seems to be always around the next corner. But at what point in an endless cycle of failures do faith and persistence become delusion and foolishness? A meditation on love, art and not being popular.

Join guest chef Michelle McKenzie, most recently the author of “The Modern Larder: From Anchovies to Yuzu, a Guide to Artful and Attainable Home Cooking” for a class that strategically uses pantry and fridge staples to elevate vegetarian dishes to main-course status. Michelle’s new book features dozen of pantry items, but we’ll highlight just a few, like chickpea flour, labneh, beans, curry leaves, turmeric and kombu. Having these humble ingredients on hand makes it easy to transform vegetables into something special In this class we will: • Make Chickpea Flour Pancakes, topped with a spoonful of creamy labneh or topped with a soft-cooked egg. • Learn to make White Beans with Tomato and Curry Leaf. As we cook, you’ll get a glimpse into Michelle’s cooking philosophy, which depends on a well-stocked larder that equips you to add flavor without adding time to your cooking.
