Bella Lux, an adult dance group, will be taking the Belly Up stage on Sunday, April 17 at 8 p.m. to present Le Cirque du Lux, a unique and immersive dance theater performance. For one night only, audiences will get swept away into the dark underbelly of Le Cirque, as their story unfolds through dance, music, and mystique. Bella Lux – co-founded by Elease Sgarbossa and Beth Guerrette – was born from a fiery collective of dancers and performance artists in San Diego with talents ranging from burlesque, heels, hip hop, hoop, fire dancing, jazz, and more. “With a genuine love of music, dance, costumes, and nostalgia, we bring the creativity, personality and entertainment to all of our shows,” said Sgarbossa. “Whether channeling the 80s, Beyonce, or swinging back to the roaring 20s, our passion is to entertain, enchant, inspire, and mystify.” Bella Lux is made up of more than 30 women, who range in age from 20-60 years old. They are doctors, lawyers, scientists, moms, and more – all coming together for the passion of dance. They rehearse year-long out of MBDY +be in Encinitas. Bella Lux performs 2-4 times a year at Belly Up in Solana Beach. The all-women group incorporates dance, movement, theatrics, and props into their routine to provide countless entertainment to sold-out crowds. Tickets for Le Cirque du Lux are $20 (advance), $23 (day-of show) and $35 (reserved loft seating) and can be purchased at https://bellyupsolanabeach.frontgatetickets.com. This is a 21+ only event, with doors opening at 7 p.m. For more information, visit https://www.thebellalux.com + Facebook

North Coast Repertory Theatre presents Richard Dreyfuss in a benefit reading of "The Soap Myth" More than a half-century after WW II, a young investigative reporter finds herself caught between numerous versions of the same story as she befriends a Holocaust survivor (Richard Dreyfuss) on a crusade about the atrocity of ‘soap’ – did the Nazis make soap from the corpses of murdered Jews? Played out against the backdrop of deadline reporting and journalistic integrity, the critically acclaimed "The Soap Myth" by Jeff Cohen questions who has the right to write history—those people who have lived it and remember it, those who study and protect it, or those who would seek to distort its very existence? And finally, what is our responsibility once we know the truth? This is theatre of witness at its best – provocative and haunting. "The Soap Myth" will play January 24 and 25, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. at North Coast Repertory Theatre. 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solona Beach, CA 92075. To purchase tickets call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org There will be a talkback after each performance. The talkback on Monday, January 24 is with one of the leading experts in the world on the Holocaust, Dr. Michael Berenbaum, moderated by Richard Salomon, Co-Founder and longstanding Board member of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, the 2017 National Museum of the Year.
