Lee Blessing’s self-described 1991 “metaphysical farce” is a comic interplay of wry literary criticism and contemporary wit which takes up where William Shakespeare’s Hamlet left off. Fortinbras gives us the chance to laugh at just how ridiculous life, truth, authority and leadership can be.

A staged reading is a form of theatre without sets or complete costumes and props. The actors read from scripts, sometimes using music stands. They may be seated, stand in fixed positions, or incorporate minimal stage movement.

Performances: Friday at 7 pm. Saturday at 2 pm or 7 pm.

A tribute to three legends in one show. Tina Turner (Always Tina), Rod Stewart (Never a Dull Moment), and The Rolling Stones (Start Me Up). All the hits performed by the top tributes to their respective bands. You will be amazed by the authenticity, the moves, and the voices that were the backdrop of our lives. This is one show you won't want to miss.

Join us at the Madonna Inn Superchargers for our annual EV Ride & Drive and Showcase. Test drive an electric vehicle from a variety of manufacturers and talk to owners about the electric driving experience. We’ll have e-bikes to test drive, too.

The show will feature dealers selling a fantastic array of gems, minerals, fossils, carvings, jewelry, beads, jade, crystals, meteorites, lapidary and metaphysical items. There will be demonstrations of jewelry-making and lapidary crafts.

September 27th and 28th. 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Supporting local education with grants for SLO county teachers.

Breaking Cycles, Building Community: Vanessa Morrow’s Debut Exhibition is a powerful collection of bold paintings and poetry exploring liberation, self-discovery, and breaking generational cycles. Each piece is paired with an original poem in a hand-designed brochure, guiding viewers through Morrow’s deeply personal journey.

“Break the Cycle is about acknowledging what no longer serves us and choosing the lifelong work of healing,” said Morrow. “I want people to feel seen in that process, to know they are not alone.”

Break the Cycle is showing now at MYLR Gallery through September 30th. Original works and limited-edition merchandise are available.
