SUMMARY:'Advanced Persistent Teenagers' - A Play by Deepak Kumar
DESCRIPTION:Chalk Circle Collective presents a brand new play in an experimental workshop production to Cygnet Theatre’s Joan Performing Arts Center. “Advanced Persistent Teenagers” by Deepak Kumar (House of India at the Old Globe) follows 2 teenage hackers\, Axyz and Lapras\, who only know each other through online voice chat. When their hacker collective\, dark w0rld\, abruptly disbands\, the boys find themselves adrift. Searching for purpose—and still craving the rush—the two launch a plan that may just change the hacker world forever. This “workshop production” is a novel concept rarely seen in the landscape of professional theatre. The 2-person play will be fully staged and produced – but because this workshop process is an opportunity for playwright Deepak Kumar to revise and explore\, the actors will have new rewrites for every performance. With new script pages in hand\, our two incredible actors will navigate a different and unique version of the play each night. There will even be 2 alternate endings on the 2 weekends at the Joan so you can come back and see just how much has changed! Becks Redman\, artistic producer at the Old Globe\, directs this production starring Devyn Wade and Giancarlo Lugo. Chalk Circle Collective is the avant garde theatre company behind last year’s “The Strangers” at the Old Town theatre and the award-winning productions of “Constellations” and “The Turn of the Screw” Chalk Circle Collective on Facebook / Instagram

SUMMARY:'Arsenic and Old Lace'
DESCRIPTION:Arsenic and Old Lace \n\n\nBy Joseph Kesselring\n\n\n\nMurder\, manners\, and mayhem \n\n\n\n\nAugust 14 – September 6\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\nFriday-Saturday @ 7pm\nSaturday-Sunday @ 2pm \n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by Kira Blaskovich \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbby and Martha Brewster\, two sweet\, silver-haired spinster aunts\, practice the kindest form of charity: elderberry wine laced with arsenic for lonely old gentlemen. Their fast-talking theater-critic nephew Mortimer uncovers the macabre family secret amid his whirlwind engagement. Add a brother channeling Teddy Roosevelt and a Boris Karloff-lookalike criminal\, and the farce bursts into pandemonium—as the cellar stacks up with bodies. A timeless hit\, Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic dark comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

SUMMARY:San Diego's annual Asian American Dance Festival
DESCRIPTION:Last year’s inaugural festival and 5-month residency program were optimistic gambles that proved to be a huge success. With the help of over 30 community volunteers\, we presented 34 choreographic works\, served 191 artists from Southern California and around the globe\, and reached over 500 local audience members here in San Diego. Building on this amazing momentum\, AADF2026: Becoming Asian American is aiming even higher and hoping to increase the number of artists and audiences served. \nIn order to accomplish our lofty goals for 2026\, we need everyone’s support—local dance artists\, students\, teachers\, studio owners\, volunteers\, sponsors\, business owners—from hands on help to fundraising and more. Team AADF is a small group of passionate volunteers\, but we can’t do this alone. We’re counting on community to join us again and help get AADF2026 on stage!
