We are very excited to welcome the Company debut of Mexican tenor Arturo Chacón-Cruz at the California Center for the Performing Arts, Escondido. Mr. Chacón-Cruz has established himself in recent years as a leading tenor with exciting appearances in renowned theaters and concert halls across the globe. He has sung over 60 roles in more than 30 countries. He is the 2005 winner of the Operalia Competition. Recently Chacón-Cruz was asked why people should listen to his an upcoming concert. He responded: "I think it’s a good way to allow yourself to be vulnerable and to allow yourself to process a lot of what we are feeling. I want it to be cathartic. I want it to be something that will encourage you if you have tears in you to let them out if you have despair to change it for hope. Music has this ability to find within you to look forward. It can make you also sad. but through the sadness and the tears it's how you take those feelings out and exchange them for something more positive.” Prepare yourself to be swept up in an exciting concert of opera favorites, zarzuela, mariachi, and Chacón-Cruz’s personal favorites.

Lamplighters Community Theatre is proud to bring 'The 1940s Radio Hour', a play written by Walton Jones, to you this holiday season! A look into yesteryear with this nostalgic view of a live radio broadcast of “The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade”, from the Hotel Astor’s Algonquin Room on December 21, 1942. Experience the spirit of that bygone era when the world was at war and pop music meant “Strike Up the Band” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Watch as the harassed station manager copes with a drunk lead singer, a delivery boy who wants a chance in front of the mike, the second banana cabbie who dreams of singing a ballad, and the trumpet player who chooses a fighter plane over Glenn Miller.
