Museum Exhibit - Treasures in Gold & Jade: Masterworks from Taiwan
Museum temporarily closed during COVID 19 restrictions
Treasures in Gold & Jade: Masterworks from Taiwan features works of incredible beauty and complexity by two of Taiwan’s premier living artists. Twenty-seven luminescent carvings by Huang Fu-Shou show jade’s full range of color: from emerald green to an almost pearlescent white. Fish springing from water, insects weightlessly clinging to blades of grass, and stone bending with litheness of fabric each push the boundaries of what is possible with the rigid medium.

 South Coast Repertory presents: American Mariachi - San Juan Capistrano
July 15 - 31, 2021
Performances at 7:30 p.m.
Presented outdoors at the Mission San Juan Capistrano
In this big-hearted comedy with live music, Lucha spends her days caring for her mother and yearning for more. But it’s the 1970s and women can’t be mariachis…or can they? Defying tradition, Lucha and her spunky cousin hunt for bandmates and take up instruments. A loving gesture for a mother becomes much more as the young women dream big and embrace the transcendent power of music. “A tug at the heartstrings that will echo for days” (Denver Post).
Recommendation: Age 12 and above.

 South Coast Repertory presents: You're a Good Man Charlie Brown - San Juan Capistrano
July 16 - August 1, 2021
Performances at 7:30 p.m.
Presented outdoors at the Mission San Juan Capistrano
Good grief! The whole “Peanuts” gang is here—Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and of course, that wishy-washy blockhead, Charlie Brown. He’s never pitched a winning baseball game and he can’t muster the courage to talk to the Little-Red Haired Girl. But all his best qualities—and those of his clever friends—get celebrated in this delightful musical filled with such gleeful tunes as "My Blanket and Me," "Suppertime" and "Happiness."
Recommendation: 4+
