"Hands on a Hardbody"
2022-09-02 20:00 - 22:00, 2022-09-04 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Playhouse, 1835 Strand Way, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
“Hands on a Hardbody” runs September 2nd through 25th, Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm.
Coronado Playhouse is driving off into the summer sunset with the unique and fun musical, Hands on a Hardbody! Bringing a little bit of the Lone Star State to the West Coast, this country and soulful production will have the audience clapping their hands, even if the contestants – actors – can’t.
For ten hard-luck Texans, a new lease on life is so close they can touch it. Under a scorching sun for days on end, armed with nothing but hope, humor and ambition, contestants fight to keep at least one hand on a brand-new truck in order to win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest, only one winner can drive away with the American Dream. Inspired by the true events of the acclaimed 1997 documentary which was adapted into a musical commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse.
Community Spotlight Partner
Coronado Playhouse is committed to giving back to the local community beyond quality entertainment and using its public platform to help those in need. During the run, the Playhouse’s community spotlight partner is the San Diego chapter of Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL). SOSL reaches out to and supports people who have lost a loved one to suicide. It is devastating and confusing to lose a spouse, a child, a sibling, a relative, a friend to suicide, and they are here to help people cope with the aftermath of such a loss. They provide support services that offer hope, comfort, and healing to those in grief from suicide loss and we promote suicide awareness and prevention.

Author Elena Armas in Conversation with Author Lauren Billings
2022-09-08 19:00 - 20:00 | Coronado Library Winn Room, 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Public Library, in partnership with Warwick’s bookstore, welcomes Elena Armas, author of The American Roommate Experience, in conversation with Lauren Billings, who co-writes young-adult and adult novels with a friend under the pseudonym Christina Lauren. Armas is kicking off her international tour with this event.
This event is free and first-come, first-served. A limited number of premium-view reserved seats are available for those who pre-order a copy of the book by contacting Warwick’s via https://www.warwicks.com/armas-2022-reserved-seat or calling the store at 858-454-0347. One reserved seat per book.
About The American Roommate Experience:
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well-paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn’t told her family and now has terrible writer’s block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking – for lack of a better word – on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control – but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30, 2022-03-31 11:00 - 12:30 | 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

FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Floating Weeds"
2022-09-07 18:00 - 20:30 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 pm in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
September 7: Floating Weeds (1959, 118 min) Japanese with English subtitles
A Technicolor masterwork of profound humanity, filled with striking compositions, buoyant humor and sublime poetry. Yasujiro Ozu creates a dreamy, quietly simmering atmosphere of emotional tension in his tale of the master of a traveling troupe of actors who reunites with an old flame and their son, enraging his current mistress.
