“In 2019 Lamb’s had terrific response to our production of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ at the Avo Playhouse in Vista, so I added it to our 2020 Season in Coronado,” explained Producing Artistic Director Robert Smyth.
“But then Covid jumbled everything. We finally had a six month run of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ in 2022. In the meantime I wanted to follow that story of men who changed American music in the ‘50s, with something to feature some of the great women singers Lamb’s has worked with. So I asked Kerry Meads and Vanda Eggington, who had done such a great job developing the hits ‘Boomers” and ‘American Rhythm’ for Lamb’s, to tackle a production about the amazing women singers & songwriters of the ‘60s. And, now finally, the premiere of R-E-S-P-E-C-T!”

Emmy and Edgar winning "Law and Order" writer discusses new novel Primary tabs
2023-02-23 19:00 - 20:30 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Edward Zuckerman will discuss and sign his new novel, Wealth Management. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come, first-served, subject to availability. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Registration is not required but sign up here to receive e-mail reminders for this event.
About the Author, Edward Zuckerman:
Edward Zuckerman began his career as a journalist, writing about zombies, killer bees, talking apes and other subjects for Rolling Stone, Spy, the New Yorker, Harper’s, Esquire, and many other magazines. He wrote two well-reviewed nonfiction books, The Day After World War III and Small Fortunes, and then moved into writing for television dramas, including “Law & Order” (50+ episodes), “Blue Bloods,” and “Law & Order: SVU.” He has won two Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America and an Emmy for his work on “Law & Order.” He lives in Manhattan, NY and Manhattan Beach, California. Wealth Management is his first novel.
About the Book, Wealth Management:
For fans of Jess Walter and Gary Shteyngart, this is a financial thriller featuring three Ivy League MBAs who must put their lopsided love triangle aside to snare international terrorists.
In the lush world-banking capital of Geneva, Switzerland, three young wealth managers (Catherine, Majid, and Rafe) are handling investments for clients with dubious pedigrees. When problems with troubled investments are “fixed” by murders and bombs, they come to suspect that their clients are Mafiosi and terrorists, but by then they are accomplices, are under threat, and have no easy way to back out.
Their efforts to save themselves — and innocent lives — are complicated by their being in a love triangle, by one of them secretly working with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence to investigate the other two, and by the unexpected appearance of a detective from Nigeria who may or may not be in league with terrorists himself.
