San Diego Shakespeare Society Staged Reading: Henry VIII, Part 2
2022-12-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
About the play: King Henry VIII listens to Cardinal Wolsey too much and gives him power, which the Cardinal uses to convict a duke of treason. Henry meets Anne Boleyn, divorces his wife Katharine, and marries Anne. Then Anne gives birth to Princess Elizabeth, who the Archbishop prophesies will become great.
About the director: Charlie Riendeau has participated in three Old Globe Shakespeare Festivals, several years of their winter seasons, and the first two Old Globe Educational Tours. He has acted in over 100 full productions, directed 25, and participated in numerous readings for various theaters around the County. He has performed in London and New York and holds a degree in Theatre from SDSU.
FAQ:
Q: Do I have to read?
A: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect, however, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read.
Q: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene?
A: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees, but if the scene is being done that night, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read, so usually, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role.
Q: Who can participate?
A: Everyone! They are free and open to the public.

Holiday Sing-A-Long
2022-12-21 11:00 - 12:00 | Coronado Library Winn Room, 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Get into the holiday spirit with a Holiday Sing-a-Long with Marilyn Rees, Rob Taylor and Mary Taylor! Bring your singing voice or simply enjoy the music with hot cocoa and cookies.

Performer Biographies:
Born in New York City, Marilyn Rees’s father was in the Navy and her family moved several times. They landed in Coronado in 1955, and she graduated from Coronado High School in ‘57 and went off to Stanford University. She spent several years traveling to Mexico City, Vienna, and after graduation, Maracaibo, Venezuela. Eventually, she ended up back in Northern California, got married, had two children, and worked in the Gifted Program and started up the computer program in the Lafayette School District. She moved back to Coronado and has lived here full-time since 2000. Marilyn played every Monday night at Vigilucci’s and now plays weekly at Emerald C Gallery on Saturdays.
Mary Munger Taylor has traveled throughout the United States and Europe, acting and singing in venues ranging from opera to summer stock to Broadway. Personal favorites include starring on Broadway as Sally Bowles opposite Joel Grey in Hal Prince’s 20th anniversary revival of Cabaret. Since that time Mary’s appearances have included the creation of the role of Eve in the late AJ Antoon’s Genesis at Joe Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival. She can be heard as Mae Jones on the London Records release of Kurt Weill’s Street Scene, and acted as Drama Coach on that company’s recording of Marc Blitztein’s Regina. Since moving to Coronado with her husband of 28 years (Robert Taylor, CHS ’62), Mary has appeared nightly at San Diego’s premiere theatrical institution, The Old Globe, as House Manager.
Robert Taylor grew up in Coronado before heading off to MIT in the 1960s. After more than five decades away, he returned to his beloved hometown after retiring from his most recent position as Vice President of Systems at Morgan Stanley in New York City. Coming home brought him back to his roots and all-time passion — music. In 2014, Rob performed in the La Jolla Playhouse’s much-acclaimed The Hunchback of Notre Dame. San Diego appearances with the San Diego Master Chorale include the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience (2018), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2019), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2018) and Star Wars: A New Hope (2018). He sings with the San Diego Master Chorale, the Christ Church Choir and occasionally with Sacra Profana, San Diego’s premiere professional a capella chorale. As current President of Coronado Rotary (2021-22), Rob relishes “giving back” to the vibrant Coronado community. When he can find time, he also enjoys tutoring local middle and high school students in math, as well as his ongoing vocal studies with San Diego Opera’s Michael Sokol.

Citizen Science: Solstice Sea Star Search
2022-12-21 13:00 - 15:00 | Coronado Central Beach, 600 Ocean Boulevard, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Take part in a citizen science opportunity to search for sea stars! The California Academy of Sciences and the Nature Conservancy are requesting your help finding and reporting sea stars along the California coast during December 20-23. Join our environmental librarian as we search for sea stars in the tide pools and upload our observations into iNaturalist to share our data with researchers. Library staff can assist you with setting up and using iNaturalist throughout the event.
Where? We will be at the tidepools in the rocks behind/in front of the Hotel del Coronado.
What were looking for? Sea stars, also known as starfish or bat stars. Any sea star observations are important for researchers, but they are particularly looking for observations of Sunflower Stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides). If you find any of these species, please additionally email your iNaturalist sighting to solsticeseastarsearch@gmail.com.
Why the solstice? The best time to observe tide pools is during low tide. The winter and summer solstices typically coincide with some of the lowest tides in the year, which can make them a great time for tide pooling!
How do we report observations? We will be using iNaturalist, a free citizen science app used to connect people to nature and advance biodiversity science and conservation. Library staff can assist you with setting up and using iNaturalist throughout the event. Please bring your smart device.
Teen volunteers can get community service credit for participating in this event. Contact tdavies@coronado.ca.us for verification.
