SUMMARY:"Alice by Heart"
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory brings Alice by Heart to the stage. Alice by Heart is a touching musical which explores themes of grief\, loss\, and first love against the backdrop of World War II’s London Blitz. \nThe performance opens in the Coronado Performing Arts Center\, 650 D Avenue\, on Friday\, Oct. 17 at 7 pm\, with additional showtimes on Saturday\, Oct. 18 at 7 pm\, Sunday\, Oct. 19 at 2 pm\, Friday\, Oct. 24 at 7 pm\, and Saturday\, Oct. 25 at 7 pm. \nThe story follows Alice Spencer and her dying friend\, Alfred\, as they seek refuge in an underground tube station and use their love for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to escape the harsh realities of war. The musical celebrates the power of imagination and friendship to help people find the courage to move forward. While the original Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy\, Alice by Heart uses the story as a metaphor for growing up\, coping with death\, and navigating first love in a time of crisis. \nDirector Barbara Wolf shares\, “Alice By Heart is one of my new favorite musicals. My students introduced it to me two years ago\, and I fell in love with it immediately! It is written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater\, who wrote the musical “Spring Awakening\,” which is profound in its meaning and beautiful in its story and music. We are all very excited to be rehearsing this wonderful musical and then to share it.” \nAlice By Heart is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. \nTickets are available at cosafoundation.org. Advance ticket purchase is recommended.

SUMMARY:Locally-made "Serenity Now" movie screening
DESCRIPTION:Cast\, crew\, family\, friends and the public are invited to this complimentary screening. \n \nJoin the local cast and crew for the world premiere of “Serenity Now\,” a short film about a frantic dog mom who hits up the local pet wellness spa for some wacky cures…with the hope of taming her humping hound before love slips away. The special screening will take place on Sunday\, Oct. 26 from 2 to 3:30 pm in the Winn Room. \nThe movie was written and created by a class of novice filmmaking students and produced entirely in Coronado. The class met at the Coronado Library this past summer for once a week production instruction. \nAfter the classes concluded\, the dedicated new filmmakers continued their learning experience during four weeks of production and three weeks of editing\, post production and creation of the final cut of the movie. \nThe story revolves around an off-the-wall pet wellness spa and its owner Sage\, who is convinced she can cure every dog’s ailments through new age potions and remedies. \nBut things get a bit complicated when Lila and her dog Wilbur pay a visit to the SERENITY NOW wellness spa with the hope of curing the pup of his boyfriend-repelling and amorous antics. \nAfter repeated attempts\, Sage and her chief canine therapist\, Dr. Donatella\, simply cannot cure Wilbur. Lila is devastated. She loves her dog – but wants a boyfriend. \nIn a last ditch effort to ‘fix’ Wilbur\, Lila hatches a sure-fire plan which will not only help her and Wilbur\, but change the lives of Sage and Dr. Donatella forever. \n“Serenity Now” features incredible aerial views of Coronado\, beach and downtown scenes\, and talented local actors including some of your friends! For most of the cast and crew\, this was their first movie production and a true learning experience. \nThe production team is excited to share their finished film with you\, along with stories of their on-set experiences. Cast and crew will also answer questions and provide tips on how to make your own movie on your phone. Refreshments will be served. \nCast\, crew\, family\, friends and the public are invited to this complimentary screening.

SUMMARY:CIFF Classic Film "The Shining" (1980)
DESCRIPTION:Scary Movie Coming Your Way October 29 \n \nSo you say you want a really scary movie for Halloween? Well\, do we have the perfect one for you! Join Coronado Island Film Festival if you dare for the 1980 psychological horror/ thriller “The Shining” on Wednesday\, October 29\, at Coronado’s Village Theatre. The work of the always difficult but groundbreaking director Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999)\, the film stars Jack Nicholson\, Shelley Duvall\, Danny Lloyd and Scatman Crothers. Written by Kubrick and Diane Johnson\, it’s based on the 1977 novel by Stephen King and was largely unappreciated when it first came out. It was actually considered a “flop!” Since that time\, however\, “The Shining” has been reappraised by critics and audiences alike and is now considered to be a horror masterpiece and the second-best movie of 1980 (after “Raging Bull”). Doors open at 5 p.m. for complimentary wine\, followed by a vintage cartoon and the feature at 5:30. Tickets are $15 and are on sale now at coronadofilmfest.com. \nNicholson plays writer and recovering alcoholic Jack Torrence\, who travels with his wife (Duvall) and young son (Lloyd) to accept a caretaker position at the remote Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rocky Mountains while it’s closed for the winter. Upon arrival\, Jack is informed that a previous caretaker\, Charles Grady\, had killed his wife\, two young daughters\, and himself at the hotel a decade ago. Creepy enough for you? Well wait\, there’s more! Son Danny\, who it turns out is clairvoyant\, starts having disturbing visions\, Jack has writer’s block and violent outbursts and starts drinking again\, then descends into complete insanity (as only Jack Nicholson can do). \nAlert: THIS IS NOT A “FAMILY FILM”! But it IS a chilling\, majestic piece of cinematic fright for the ages\, brilliantly written\, directed\, shot and acted\, and the perfect scary movie you asked for! \nNext month: “Nobody’s Fool”\, the comedy drama starring Paul Newman\, Bruce Willis\, and Jessica Tandy on Wednesday\, November 26\, the day before Thanksgiving. This is considered the ultimate “Thanksgiving movie.” Bring the fam. Tickets are on sale now. \n  \nIn the meantime\, we invite you to celebrate Ten Incredible Years of the Coronado Island Film Festival\, November 5–9!\nExperience over 130 films\, from powerful documentaries to Oscar contenders\, along with Tribute Awards\, parties\, and free screenings at the Coronado Public Library.\nLearn more and get your tickets and passes at coronadofilmfest.com.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception & Lecture: Bitter Sweet with Kitty Morse
DESCRIPTION:CHA is proud to announce the opening of its newest WWII exhibit. In honor of this exhibit\, join us Thursday\, November 6\, for an exhibit opening reception and lecture featuring author Kitty Morse. Kitty will discuss her new book\, Bitter Sweet: A Wartime Journal and Heirloom Recipes from Occupied France. This book was written after she discovered her great-grandfather’s journal chronicling the advance of the Germans in Le Grand Est (Alsace-Lorraine) between April and December 1940\, and two notebooks filled with recipes written in her great-grandmother’s hand in a suitcase left to her by her mother. Bitter Sweet takes place in and around her mother’s birthplace\, Châlons-sur-Marne (now Châlons-en-Champagne). Blanche Lévy-Neymarck\, Morse’s maternal great-grandmother\, died at Auschwitz in 1944 along with one of her daughters and her son-in-law. Blanche’s husband Prosper\, an army surgeon in WWI\, was twice the recipient of the Légion d’Honneur. This book is not just the story of a family torn apart by war\, but it also features 70 unique recipes that show the rich history of a family. \nOn Thursday\, November 6\, a wine & cheese reception at 5:30 pm will be followed by the lecture from 6 to 7 pm. \nTickets are available now  \nMember ($15.00 each)\nNon-Member ($20.00 each) \nImportant Registration Information: Capacity is limited and reservations are required. No walk-ins will be admitted. \nIf you have any questions\, please email info@coronadohistory.org or call 619-435-7242. \n  \n \nAbout the Speaker: Award-winning author Kitty Morse was born in Casablanca\, Morocco\, to a French mother and a British father. She emigrated to the United States at the age of 17. While studying for her master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, Kitty catered Moroccan diffas\, or banquets\, and went on to teach the intricacies of Moroccan cuisine in cooking schools and department stores nationwide. In June 2002\, she conducted a Culinary Concert on Moroccan culture and cuisine hosted by Julia Child\, as a benefit for the Harry Bell Foundation of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Kitty’s books have been translated into French\, German\, Polish\, and Czech. In 1984 (and for the next 25 years) she initiated annual gastronomic tours to Morocco that included culinary demonstrations in her family home\, a Moorish riad south of Casablanca. Her monthly e-newsletter\, The Kasbah Chronicles\, in French and in English\, is now in its 12th year of circulation.

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: "Scrooge"
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday afternoon\, Dec. 7 at 1 pm\, in the Library’s Winn Room\, the Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) Student Classic Film Series presents a special Advent movie event for the entire family\, screening Scrooge\, the acclaimed 1951 British Renown Studios movie adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The screening will be followed by the first public announcement of the 2026 Student Classic Film Series “The Art of Adaptation” schedule of classic films. This Scrooge screening is a FREE event and open to the public of all ages. \nAttendees are asked to please bring an unwrapped toy to the screening as part of Downtown Lions Club toy giveaway to underserved children. \nCharles Dickens’ Christmas novella is\, arguably\, the single most adapted literary story in stage and cinematic history.  A great many film critics insist that Brian Desmond Hurst’s 1951 film version has never been equaled. The screenplay by Hurst and Noel Langley (a The Wizard of Oz screenwriter) Hurst’s adroit direction\, and C. M. Pennington-Richards’ haunting black and white cinematography\, completely convince audiences of Scrooge’s spiritual transformation from bitter\, friendless curmudgeon\, into a man so overcome by gratitude and joy\, simply to be alive on Christmas morning\, that he finds himself gleefully shouting\, “Merry Christmas!” to all within earshot; a man whose renovation of heart is so profound that many who knew\, feared\, or loathed him\, suspect he has gone mad. \nThe lion’s share of credit for the film’s enduring power belongs to the extraordinary performance of Alastair Sim. Sim “inhabits” the title role\, playing the miserly scenes with perfect notes of sarcastic humbug. Sim’s Scrooge is a man utterly alone and satisfied to be so; a man who has no use for other people. Sim never suggests Scrooge is an evil man\, but\, rather\, a man whose spirit has been gravely\, though not irreparably\, warped by the vagaries of a difficult life. It is the subtlety and restraint Sim brings to the role that make Scrooge’s redemption in the final act believable\, moving\, and memorable. The final scenes of Scrooge radiating humility\, warmth and delight reuniting with his family at his nephew’s Christmas party\, and finally\, walking the streets of London as Tiny Tim leaps into his arms are images to carry in your heart throughout the Christmas season. The entire community is invited to join us for the perfect “table setter” for Advent. As Tiny Tim reminded us\, “God bless us\, everyone!” \nThe screening will be followed by the first public announcement of the 2026 “The Art of Adaptation” schedule\, screening two Golden Age classics monthly from February through May 2026. The Student Classic Series is designed to expose High School and Middle School Students to the greatest motion pictures made by the masters of the craft during The Golden Age of Hollywood (mid-30s to early 1960s). It provides a unique opportunity for Coronado’s young people to learn about the history of Hollywood’s Studio Era and the cultural legacy it bequeathed to us all.

SUMMARY:Threads of Resilience: Celebrating human resilience through dance
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy CUSD\nThe Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Conservatory of Classical and Contemporary Dance invites audiences to Threads of Resilience\, a powerful showcase of original dance works that explore personal transformation and strength. The concert takes the stage Dec. 12 and 13 at 7pm at the Coronado Performing Arts Center at 650 D Avenue. Tickets are available at www.cosafoundation.org/events. \n“Adversity and resilience are innate to the human experience\,” said Caryn Ipapo-Glass\, COSA Dance Director. “In times of divisiveness and polarity it can be difficult to hold on to empathy\, or to remember that we collectively have lived experiences that unify us. Our journeys may be vastly different\, but joy\, fear\, love\, and loss are universal; and the opportunity for personal growth is always present. Cathartic connection is one of the most powerful aspects of dance\, and one of the things I love most about it. When artists are brave enough to share\, and audiences are brave enough to be present and to feel\, that is when powerful human connections are made.” \nThis remarkable concert features 10 original dance works\, choreographed by both faculty and student artists\, and will also include six innovative short dance films that push the boundaries of artistic expression; featuring “Resilience Poems” written by several of the COSA Dance students. \nEach dance piece represents a deeply personal narrative\, capturing moments of profound life experiences where individuals have confronted adversity and emerged transformed. The choreographers explore themes of resilience\, personal growth\, and the human spirit’s remarkable capacity to overcome challenges. \n \n“This concert marks my first artistic endeavor with my COSA Dance students and colleagues. Transition in and of itself can be adverse. With it comes a great deal of uncertainty\, vulnerability\, and required trust. It has been an absolute honor to work within this collective of students and colleagues and I am tremendously grateful for the opportunity we were given to come together to thread and weave our lived experiences\, and to witness the impact of our collective resilience\,” said Ipapo-Glass. \nFor more information about this compelling evening of dance\, visit CoSASanDiego.com. \nAbout CoSA\nCoronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is San Diego County’s premier public school arts conservatory\, home to 200 scholar artists grades 9 through 12\, who attend the nationally ranked Coronado High School.
