Step into a world of color, movement, and imagination with "El Alebrije," A Step Beyond’s vibrant reimagining of "The Nutcracker" through dance, theater, music, and puppetry — taking place November 7 & 8 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. This original production features over 150 youth performers (ages 8–18), a student-run technical crew, guest parent performers, and breathtaking storytelling and puppetry in collaboration with the San Diego Guild of Puppetry and Bocón Youth Arts. The story follows María, a young girl celebrating her Quinceañera, who receives a mystical Alebrije and is whisked into a magical dream journey across Mexico. Along the way, she encounters imagery inspired by Día de los Muertos, Frida Kahlo, and mariachi traditions—discovering the power of connection, heritage, and love. "El Alebrije" is more than a performance; it’s a community celebration. Last year’s production drew over 1,000 attendees across three shows, uniting families, volunteers, and artists in a dazzling display of creativity and collaboration. Join us for this one-of-a-kind cultural experience that uplifts youth, honors Mexican heritage, and brings the magic of imagination to life for audiences of all ages.

Experience an unforgettable evening with Elijah Rock as he brings his newly acclaimed album "Memories Unleashed – Impulse 1" to life on stage. Inspired by his father’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease, the album is both a celebration of timeless music and a deeply personal reflection on memory, love, and legacy. Having spent weeks in the Top 40 on the national jazz charts, "Memories Unleashed" is a soulful journey through The Great American Songbook, blending the elegance of classic jazz with intimate storytelling rooted in lived experience. Each performance invites audiences into a space where music becomes a vessel for remembrance, connection, and hope. Backed by a stunning roster of world-class musicians who have performed with legends including Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Nancy Wilson, and Natalie Cole, Memories Unleashed captures the sophistication and soul of a golden era, brought vividly into the present through arrangements critics have called “timeless, swinging, and deeply human.” Through song, Elijah Rock reminds us that while memories may fade, the feelings they carry—and the people we love—remain forever within us. Join Elijah Rock for an evening of refined swing, rich storytelling, and musical excellence that honors the past while inspiring the future. “It takes a certain kind of artist these days to carry on the torch passed on from the likes of Nat ‘King’ Cole, Freddie Cole, Billy Eckstine and Joe Williams.” — Jazz Weekly "Memories Unleashed" runs June 8 and 9, 2026 at 7:30pm at North Coast Repertory Theatre- 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach, CA 92075.
