In April and May, the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library will present an exhibition of paintings created by longtime local teacher and Pacific Beach resident Nona Perrin. She will be showing 30 of her color-soaked works (many of them featuring wild animals) in an exhibit she has named, "Let's Get Wild!" Nona loves art and has spent her life immersed in creating, learning about or teaching art. She has evolved her own style while teaching art to thousands of young students in local public and private schools for over 25 years. She also taught art at most of the branches of the San Diego public libraries during that time. In addition to painting (using various media), she continues to study and create work in stained glass, ceramics, mosaics and sculpture. Nona loves to learn, and describes herself as, "Sometimes a teacher, but always a student." Pacific Beach Library on Facebook

Caught in the one second between life and death, a man must reconcile his life choices while navigating the ridiculous characters in his head including a Shakespearean Baseball Coach, a disgruntled Buca di Beppo server, and an acid-induced gargoyle. "Frankly, My Frank" blends characters and storytelling for an evening of humor and heart. Written and Performed by Second City Alumnus Frank Caeti (MADtv, Modern Family, Upright Citizens Brigade, Jimmy Kimmel Live) www.frankcaeti.com Directed by Ithamar Enriquez Press Reviews “Frank’s characters are as sublime as they are joyfully ridiculous and his unwavering commitment to them truly makes them burn bright”. – The Comedy Bureau LA “It brought tears to my eyes from being both belly-achingly funny and earth-shatteringly truthful. Frank Caeti plays multiple facets of himself with ease, shifting into fully-fledged characters in the blink of an eye and showcasing their depth and their humor to the audience’s delight. He has crafted one of the most unique one-man shows I’ve seen that will stay with me for a long time. Go see it!” – Dramaworks Audience Reviews “'Frankly my Frank, I Don’t Give a Frank' is a masterclass in solo performance. The show is simultaneously hilarious, heartfelt, insightful, impressive, and inspiring. This is not an easy task, but Frank makes it look effortless.” Kevin McGeehan – (10-Time Moth Winner, 2019 New York Moth GrandSLAM Champion) “Frank’s mesmeric performance is sheer proof of the unfortunate narrative that show business does not necessarily reward truly exceptional talent. A breathlessly hystericaland chokingly poignant examination of passionate aspirations and the shifting perspective of priorities. Frankly, you should give a Frank. I truly loved the show.” – Lance Barber (The Comeback, Young Sheldon) “Frank Caeti is a powerhouse performer. He captivates the audience from minute one and never takes his foot off the gas. And amidst all the silliness he had me crying like a baby at his honesty and vulnerability.” – Amanda Blake Davis (Second City, Hey Day) “A vulnerable, hilarious, wonderfully layered solo show. Frank gives a stellar performance.” – Stephnie Weir – (Second City and MADtv alum) “This show is fantastic! I laughed, I cried, I loved every minute of it. Frank expertly weaves deep emotion, serious questions, and joyful silliness into a dazzling tapestry of love and hope.” – Erin Z. “Frank possesses the uncanny ability to be both hysterical and vulnerable. Structurally, the show is a masterclass in story and character, all taking place in a brief moment in time. But I left the theater really moved, reflecting upon and appreciating the nuances in my own life.” – Bryan K “A heartwarming, hilarious, memorable show that will move you and keep you giggling all hour long.” – Monette M Frank Caeti on Instagram
