Book by DUNCAN MACMILLAN With JONNY DONAHOE Directed by J. SCOTT LAPP You’re six years old. Mom’s in the hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. #1) Ice cream. #2) Kung Fu movies. #3) Burning things. #4) Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. #5) Construction cranes. #6) Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. This surprising and immersive theatrical experience speaks openly about depression, mental illness and suicide. With poignant humor and joy, Every Brilliant Thing takes us on a journey through grief, healing, falling in love, and rediscovering all that life has to give.

2024 Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. 8 homes in Encinitas and South Carlsbad The San Dieguito Art Guild, a non-profit group, hosts their 27th annual Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour. This is a self-guided, driving tour on Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, May 11 and 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are good for both days and homes may be re-visited. Take your mom or best friends on a leisurely tour of the 8 North San Diego County homes where you can peruse more than 30 unique exhibits of locally made art, and relax in each unique coastal or inland garden. Artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild will be positioned in the gardens — showing and selling their paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography, jewelry, and much more. Free refreshments will be served at every stop. The year’s tour includes an eclectic group of eight homes, gardens, and art studios including a mature forest with a variety of trees; a bocce ball court; a water feature using recycled parts; raised beds for vegetables; work barns where the home owner restores vintage cars and trucks; a stunning home with a 180 degree view to the ocean; outdoor kitchens; a sculpture garden where the homeowner creates with fused glass and metal; a Japanese themed garden with a bridge over a small stream and plants from Japan, including bonsai; a glass work studio, a native plants garden where over 1,000 seeds have been sown throughout; and an aviary for finches and budgies. This two-day event is the major fund-raiser of the year for the San Dieguito Art Guild. Without funds from this tour the Guild would operate at a loss. Tickets are $35 per person and may be purchased at the Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), at OffTrackGallery.com, or at each home both days of the tour. Ticket sales begin in early April. Children 17 and under are free. This is a favorite tour of many San Diegans — many of whom take this tour year after year. In keeping with their Mission Statement, “The San Dieguito Art Guild is an organization dedicated to furthering artistic understanding and fostering artistic growth of members and the community at large by promoting interest, education, knowledge and skills in the visual arts”, 10% of the net proceeds from the tour will be awarded to several promising art students. In addition, one of the homes will host T.E.R.i, an organization that helps people with special needs live fulfilling lives. Their clients produce charming art works, the sale of which help support their facility and teachers. For more information: SanDieguitoArtGuild.com, pr@sandieguitoartguild, 760-705-6589.
