Join us at the Neil Morgan Auditorium, San Diego Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common to celebrate the launch of an explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies. "With No More Tears," award-winning investigative journalist Gardiner Harris lays out over 20 years of reporting insight into the company’s inner workings. Harris offers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions: corporate cover-ups, safety concerns for products ranging from Baby Powder to Tylenol, and deceptive drug marketing that has risked the lives of patients and deepened the opioid crisis. The story of public health safety and corporate greed in the United States is the story of "No More Tears." “Gardiner Harris has done a great service, giving us a page-turning drama that raises life-or-death questions”–Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "King: A Life" Gardiner Harris on X

North Coast Rep presents "Some Dark Valley: The Testimony of Reverend Brand" written and performed by Robert Bailey. One moonlit night, Reverend Brand, a fiery 19th century circuit preacher, emerges from the shadowy mountains of Appalachia, and our collective history, to weave a tale of religious fervor set against a landscape scarred by war, poverty and disease – a story that also shines a light on rare moments of tender and resilient redemption. Robert Bailey’s solo performance grapples with the inevitable clash between an unyielding vision of moral rectitude and the tragic personal destruction it leaves in its wake. Embodying multiple characters while also singing gorgeous traditional songs handed down through generations of Southerners, Bailey transports the audience to a land and era that is haunting and illuminating in its relevance to today. "Some Dark Valley' at North Coast Rep Variety Nights" will run March 17, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. and March 18, 2025 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.
