North Coast Rep presents "An Evening With C.S. Lewis" starring David Payne. The year is 1962 and C.S. Lewis, the famous British author, is hosting a group of American writers at his home near Oxford. They are about to experience a captivating evening with a man whose engaging conversation and spontaneous humor made him one of the great raconteurs of his day. Seated in his living room, he recalls the people and events that inspired his thoughts and shaped his life; of his friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien, why he nearly abandoned the Narnia Chronicles, how he came to embrace Christianity and of the American woman who turned his life upside down. David Payne’s "An Evening With C.S. Lewis" has proved to be an enthralling theatrical experience, one which has led many thousands to discover, or rediscover, the continuing impact of a man who died over 50 years ago and whose collected works made him one of the literary giants of the 20th Century. London born actor/playwright David Payne’s first encounter with C.S. Lewis was when, as a teenager, he was given a copy of Lewis’ best-selling book "Screwtape Letters." Little did he realize that some 40 years later he would be gaining a reputation for his portrayals of its famous author. He has played Lewis in a number of productions of "Shadowlands," in his self-penned "Weep for Joy," in more than 500 presentations of "An Evening with C.S. Lewis" (My Life’s Journey) and "St. Jack & The Dragon" a touching yet sometimes hilarious account about the relationship between Lewis and his adopted mother, Janie Moore. Payne’s latest self-penned Lewis based show is "Wardrobes & Rings," which focuses on the very last meeting between Lewis and his great friend, J.R.R. Tolkien. To learn more about David Payne, visit www.aneveningwithcslewis.com. "An Evening With C.S. Lewis" will be performed on April 25 and 26, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. at North Coast Repertory Theatre: 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach, CA 92075.

Arkansas' newly elected governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, drew a sharp contrast between Republicans and Democrats, especially with respect to what she called the "left-wing culture war."

Quintessential New Yorker, writer, social commentator and pop culture icon, Fran Lebowitz, who is the midst of an extensive world tour, is bringing her acerbic wit to the Balboa Theatre. Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an "important humorist in the classic tradition." Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker. Date | Monday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. Location | Balboa Theatre Get tickets here! Ticket prices ranging from $31 to $66.
