SUMMARY:Follies
DESCRIPTION:Haunting Broadway Classic — “Follies” at Cygnet Theatre Begins September 10. Stephen Sondheim’s “Follies” is a dazzling and bittersweet exploration of love\, loss\, and the passage of time. Set in a crumbling theatre\, former showgirls reunite one last time\, reliving their heyday and confronting the choices that shaped their lives. With iconic songs like “Broadway Baby” and “Losing My Mind\,” this Tony Award-winning masterpiece blends haunting nostalgia with show-stopping spectacle in a moving celebration of dreams and regrets.\nSeptember 10\, 2025 – October 5\, 2025\nJoseph Clayes III Stage\, The Joan\n2880 Roosevelt Rd\nSan Diego\, CA 92106

SUMMARY:Blues For An Alabama Sky
DESCRIPTION:Set against the vibrant backdrop of Harlem in 1930\, the play brings together a rich cast of characters who reflect the conflicting currents of the time through their overlapping personalities and politics. As the Harlem Renaissance starts to feel the bite of the Great Depression\, Angel and her friends battle to keep their artistic dreams alive while invoking the image of African-American expatriate extraordinaire\, Josephine Baker\, as both muse and myth. And when you are a Black woman living through one of the hardest times in American history and filling the silence of social invisibility with laughter\, friendship becomes the only way to keep reaching for your dreams.\nOct. 2 – Oct. 26\, 2025\nBlues For An Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage\nDirected by Desireé Clarke Miller\nOpening Night: Friday\, Oct. 3\, 2025\nMOXIE Theatre\n6663 El Cajon Blvd Ste N\nSan Diego\, CA 92115

SUMMARY:Rex v. Plantagenet: A Shakespeare Mock Trial and Talkback

Although the new administration of King Henry VII has a variety of offenses to choose from\, Richard Plantagenet will be prosecuted only for the six most heinous acts of murder: those of the Lords Hastings\, Rivers\, Grey\, and Vaughan\, and\, most horribly\, of his two minor nephews\, King Edward V\, aged 12\, and Richard\, Duke of York\, aged 9.\nCharacters from the play will be called as witnesses. At the end\, the audience will serve as jury and decides the defendant’s fate.\nOctober 4 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nMission Valley Branch Library
