The Navy SEAL Museum San Diego is set to open on October 4. It marks an expansion of the National UDT-Navy SEAL Museum into a region where Navy SEALs are a unique part of the character, yet lacked a dedicated museum until now. Once open, the Museum aims to inspire visitors to serve a cause higher than themselves. Through one-on-one engagement with NSMSD’s docent corps of retired NSW operators, visitors will gain an appreciation for the sacrifice shared by all military personnel and take aboard the timeless values of teamwork, dedication, innovation, perseverance to employ in their own lives.

Two brothers set out to write the world’s first musical in this hilarious mash-up of sixteenth-century Shakespeare and twenty-first-century Broadway. Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, "Something Rotten." Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, "Something Rotten" was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years". Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
