Curated by Beth Smith, Oceanside Museum of Art's latest exhibition, "Storyteller," showcases the work of San Diego sculptor James E. Watts. Watts' work is immensely character-driven and inspired by beloved and monstrous characters in literature and pop culture. His figurative sculptures are eye-stopping and abstract, and his panel or flat works — generally constructed from reclaimed wood and tin — are jam packed with intricate details. Opens Apr. 2 and is on view through Jul. 17, 2022. About the artist: James E. Watts thinks of his studio as a sanctuary. He named it The James Watts Institute for Artistic Behavior. Located at street level in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, he welcomes people who walk by and pause to look in the window. Watts’s sculpture is often inspired by classic literature such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Don Quixote. Characters from books are transformed as Watts carves, hammers, fastens, and bolts pieces of salvage and scrap metal. He is known for repurposing metal lunch boxes, cookie tins, and assorted metal ephemera. Curated by Beth Smith, this exhibition sees Watts’s personality in every figure, a light-hearted mix of humor and social commentary. Read more at the OMA website here.

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.
