First, an update on the ICE arrest near San Diego City College. Also, next summer La Mesa plans to host its first ever Pride event. Then, what impact does this extreme heat have on our power grid? And, San Diego City College is working to support its students that are parents.

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents a show with heartbreaking tragedy rescued by lovestruck buffoonery in this tragicomedy by William Shakespeare’s "The Winter’s Tale" as its next student production. As the wise-beyond-his-years 7-year-old Mamillius says, “A sad tale’s best for winter.” But fortunately for us, the story doesn’t end there. We begin with a tale of suspicion, jealousy, tyranny, and suffering. And that only gets us half-way through. After a ghost names an abandoned baby, a storm devours a ship full of mariners, and a bear dines on a gentleman’s flesh, we transition into a new season. It is in middle summer that we visit a different kingdom 16 years later to find the baby grown up to be the queen of the harvest festival, in love with the impetuous prince, surrounded by clowns and singing thieves, and on a course to reconcile two kings as a statue comes to life with celebrations of forgiveness. Director Benjamin Cole is moved to share this production of jealousy, strength, sacrifice, and love as our 11th annual outdoor touring summer student Shakespeare production. “We’re thrilled to continue the tradition of offering free Shakespeare performances to the cities of Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Encinitas,” Cole beams. “Some of our top students are featured in Shakespeare shows, and we’re proud to explore more challenging titles they might not have the opportunity to explore anywhere else,” he boasts. The show runs a daring 90 minutes with no intermission and aims to touch audiences’ heartstrings throughout. Additional production staff includes: Stage Manager, Benedict Heaps; Assistant Stage Manager, Liah Leon; Bear Puppetry Design, Bugz Baltzer; Intern Assistant Director, Kaia Podd; and Assistant Director Steve Smith.

Busalacchi Restaurants is proud to announce the debut of The Feast, a new annual community celebration that will bring together food, family and tradition in the heart of Little Italy for years to come. The inaugural event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., transforming India Street into a one-night-only open-air dining experience unlike anything previously held in the neighborhood. To launch this new tradition, the first-ever Feast will commemorate a milestone year for the Busalacchi family: 40 years of serving San Diego and helping shape the evolution of Little Italy into one of the city's most celebrated culinary and cultural destinations. For one evening, India Street will close from Fir Street to Grape Street, creating a communal gathering space where guests will dine at long banquet tables stretching through the center of Little Italy. Inspired by the Italian tradition of gathering around the table, The Feast will invite attendees to enjoy a family-style dining experience beneath the stars and the neighborhood's iconic string lights while celebrating the people, businesses and relationships that have helped define Little Italy for generations. Envisioned as an annual tradition, The Feast will serve as a celebration of the Busalacchi family, their restaurants and the community that continues to make Little Italy one of San Diego's most vibrant neighborhoods. While this inaugural event honors the restaurant group's 40th anniversary, future editions of The Feast will continue the tradition of bringing people together through food, hospitality and shared experiences. The Feast will offer three ticket experiences, with special early reservation pricing available through Sept. 1, 2026: General Admission — $295 Early Reservation | $350 Standard • Access to The Feast from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. • Reception hour with grazing stations, entertainment and activations • Reserved seating at the communal dining table • Four-course family-style dinner by Barbusa with wine service • Live entertainment and post-dinner celebration VIP Admission — $395 Early Reservation | $450 Standard • Includes all General Admission benefits • Priority check-in • Premium dining seating • Exclusive Aperol Spritz welcome reception • VIP wine tasting station and upgraded wine offerings • Complimentary affogato, keepsake gift and valet parking Founder's Table — $3,250 Early Reservation | $3,750 Standard • Includes all VIP benefits • Premium reserved table for eight guests • Recognition on the table menu As part of its commitment to giving back to the community, The Feast will benefit The Positive Movement Foundation, a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting underserved and at-risk children and youth. Through partnerships with seven local elementary and middle schools, as well as Juvenile Courts and Community Schools, the organization provides educational resources, scholarships, workshops, enrichment programs and student recognition initiatives at no cost to participating schools.
