Come support our children’s theatre group led by Diva Works Entertainment for their contemporary reproduction of The Wiz. An adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical — itself a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s classic 1900 children’s fantasy “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” About "The Wiz": Over forty years after its original release, no film has uniquely defined black culture and shaped the framework of a musical genre quite like "The Wiz." For a generation of black Americans, this was the first time they saw people who spoke, and moved the way they did in a Broadway production and, later, a big-screen musical, and it has become a kind of rite of passage for the black community. "The Wiz," weaved together gospel, blues, soul and R&B — genres that are unequivocally black creations — and were narratives of the black experience. Date | Saturday, February 12 at 7 p.m. Location | WorldBeat Cultural Center Get tickets here! General admission is $15. For more information, please visit worldbeatcenter.org/event/the-wiz-play or call WorldBeat Cultural Center at (619) 230-1190.

We’re kicking off 2022 with stories about The GOAT! (That’s the “Greatest of All Time,” as the kids say) We've wrung our hands, fretted, and worn down our fidget spinners over the fact that many people missed out on the gorgeous, hilarious, poignant stories that talented people shared during the shelter-in-place/ lockdown/ quarantine days. So we decided to take a different direction with January's theme, by featuring some of these "Greats Of Ailment Time!" Come watch these Greats from those 16 months during which we were all busy "learning French and taking online cooking classes" (yeah, right). Date: Jan. 27, 2022 Time: 8:00pm Location: Whistle Stop Bar Cost: $5 suggested donation For more information on this event and other donations please visit HERE!
