In this hilarious, raucous, all-female "power-play,” contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. This madcap romp tackles modern American political extremism, feminism, James Madison, Shakespeare, and beauty queens, The three slightly insane women at its core just might be political geniuses. Here's lookin' at you, America. Dates | Friday, April 15 - Saturday, May 1 Location | Scripps Ranch Theatre Purchase tickets here! Initially inspired by Shakespeare’s The Taming of The Shrew, "THE TAMING" grew out of Gunderson’s desire to wrestle with potent elements inside the Bard’s playful and problematic battle of the sexes. Inside the heightened, cheerfully absurd world of "THE TAMING" the play spanks America’s insidious, sound bite politics with the switch of actual history and proves Shakespeare’s point that true debate is hot. "THE TAMING" is the third in Lauren Gunderson’s The Shakespeare Cycle and takes the sass, sex, and banter from Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and tags in modern American politics. Directed by Marti Gobel, the cast includes talented San Diego performers Katee Drysdale, Sutheshna Mani and Kylie Young.

Come one, come all, Escondido’s oldest and most famous event, the Grape Day Festival, returns on Saturday, September 10th, 2022 from 9a.m. to 3p.m.. The festival will take place in Grape Day Park, home to the original festivals in the heart of Escondido and next to our beautiful City Hall and the California Center for the Arts. The Festival will once again celebrate the early days of Escondido, when agriculture was “King” and festival goers traveled from all across the state to see why Escondido was hailed as a great place to grow sweet grapes and a central hub of citrus and other crops. From 1908 to 1950, it drew thousands of Southern Californians and rivaled Pasadena’s Festival of Roses in attendance. Revived by the Escondido History Center in 1990, it ran through 2018. This year, with the pandemic closures behind us, and a renewed sense of community, the History Center is once again bringing the Grape Day Festival to life, with a focus on celebrating the traditions of Escondido’s glorious past. The 2022 festival is a family-friendly event, featuring old time entertainment from Swing Jazz to Bluegrass and other talented musical acts from the early 1900’s throughout the event. Across Grape Day Park will be artisans and crafters, showing how things were made back in the day, with live demonstrations of such things as spinning, weaving, corn shelling and grinding and butter making. Kids can compete in old-fashioned children’s games, get their faces painted and balloons twisted. Antique farm and mining machinery as well as early-century vehicles will be on display for all to see. Take off your shoes and stomp some grapes, eat free table grapes, like they did back in the original festival, and let the kids enjoy the 4-H petting zoo and meet some exotic animals up close. Hollandia Dairy will be onsite with a cow milking display as well. Taste the local flavor and head over to the wine and beer garden to savor the area's finest local wines and craft beers, with wineries participating from all across San Diego. There will also be a food court, with tasty food offerings for everyone to enjoy, from Mexican food to Barbeque. Also, enjoy ice cream, hot popcorn, roasted peanuts, shaved ice, and cold drinks while you take in the festival. Local Native American, first responder, and other community organizations will be there to showcase their contributions to the community. For more information, please visit www.grapedayfest.org as well as the Escondido History Center Facebook and Instagram. The Grape Day Festival is produced by the Escondido History Center, in partnership with the Brothers of 6 Charities, a local organization dedicated to preserving history, honoring veterans, and enhancing the community.
