"Big Fish"
2022-11-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Coronado Playhouse, 1835 Strand Way, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Book by JOHN AUGUST
Music and Lyrics by ANDREW LIPPA
Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Motion Picture written by John August

Dream, Love, Live Bigger.
Directed by Hunter Brown

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales.
The story shifts between two timelines. In the present-day real world, sixty-year-old Edward Bloom faces his mortality while his son prepares to become a father himself. In the storybook past, Edward ages from a teenager, encountering a Witch, a Giant, a Mermaid, and the love of his life, Sandra. The stories meet as Will discovers the secret his father never revealed.
Overflowing with heart and humor, Big Fish is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.

Marina Khudobina demonstrates Ikebana, a Japanese style of flower arranging, for the holidays.
Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arrangement. It can be done by anyone, any time, anywhere.
Ikebana requires living flowers. Everything is devoted to creating beauty in the moment, giving artistic life to transient flowers through the repeated act of arranging them.
Marina Khudobina was born in Armenia and grew up in Ukraine. She learned Ikebana from a Japanese teacher in Belgium. Khudobina came to San Diego about 30 years ago and happily calls it her hometown! She further studied Ikebana in San Diego with Hiroko Fukuhara, learning Sogetsu Ikebana, one of the most recent and innovative movements within this art form. Khudobina has done exhibitions in Waterloo, Belgium; as well as with Ikebana International at Balboa Park. She also participated in an event at the Oceanside Museum of Art, and has been a part of Art Alive through the San Diego Museum of Art for many years.

Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm
Location: Coronado Historical Association,
1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA 92118
Admission: Adults $20 | Children (12 & under) $5
