With traditional stories, music and dance, and performances by Danza Azteca Tonantzin Arroyo Grande, Ballet Folklórico Corazón de la Costa, Ballet Folklórico de Sacramento and Mariachi Mexicanismo, this special Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) event celebrates and honors our ancestors through the exploration of Latin American culture and traditions.

Latin American culture is a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of pre-Columbian civilizations, European colonization, and the struggle for independence. Indigenous cultures, like the Aztecs, flourished before European arrival. The Spanish and Portuguese conquered the region, leading to the establishment of vast colonial empires and the mixing of indigenous, European, and African cultures. In the early 19th century, revolutions swept through Latin America, establishing independent nations. Stories, music and dance reflect this history, the blend of diverse cultures, and the spirit of the people, our ancestors, remembered and honored by this event.

This event benefits the work of the Promotores Collaborative of San Luis Obispo’s whose mission is to build, foster, and support a network of “Promotores” – trained community health workers. A program of the Center for Family Strengthening, Promotores envisions sustainable, comprehensive access to healthcare and services among all members of the community.

Get ready for a fast-paced, door-slamming, laugh-out-loud comedy! In a seedy motel room, two rookie cops set up a sting operation to catch a corrupt mayor. But when the mayor’s nervous accountant arrives, mistaken identities, double-crosses, and a mysterious Scottish hit man throw everything hilariously off-course. With eight doors, nonstop confusion, and a steady stream of outrageous twists, this award-winning farce delivers a night of side-splitting fun. Buckle up—it’s going to be a wild (and very funny) ride!

These interactive, welcoming workshops use the tools of improvisational theater—like play, spontaneity, and "yes, and"—to build real-life skills for communication, confidence, and connection. No acting or comedy experience is needed. Through guided games and group activities, participants explore how improv principles can help them listen more fully, respond more flexibly, and thrive in daily life, even when things don’t go as planned.

Whether you're looking to speak up more, connect with others, or simply have fun in a judgment-free space, these workshops offer something for everyone.

1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, 9/21-12/7.

An introduction for beginners to the basics, and a refresher class for more advanced students, to practice the challenge of painting watercolors from a logical approach. Each student will work at his or her own pace and personal style will be encouraged. We’ll explore how to get your ideas onto paper, whether you have never used watercolor before, just find watercolor too frustrating (you’re not alone), or just want to loosen up. We’ll explore basic techniques that will form your own library of approaches to different effects that you want to explore and combine. Our emphasis will be on your own direction, color choices, subject matter and style preferences.

Classes limited to 8 students. Some drawing skill is helpful but not mandatory. Mondays in November (11/3 to 11/24).
