New play will seek joy, healing and the elusive ‘Black-billed Cuckoo’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The seed of what would become playwright Mat Smart’s new play “A Black-billed Cuckoo” was a birding class through the Brooklyn Botanical Garden that he joined during the COVID years. He discovered beneath the trees of Prospect Park “the wonder of the natural world, even when you’re in a big city like New York.” The 2024 graduate of UC San Diego’s playwriting MFA program also found birding to be “a balm for modern life. You can’t help but be present in the moment when you’re birding. You’re just
Cygnet plans an honest story on teen mental health with ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world of teenagers has changed in the 10 years since the musical “Dear Evan Hansen” opened on Broadway. The popular social media platforms of the time were Facebook and Twitter. Each plays a key role in propelling a false narrative about a high school boy’s suicide and a friendship that didn’t exist. No TikTok or Instagram Reels were part of the show.

It will also be a day to honor not only those we miss but also the heroes of all kinds who sacrificed. This includes the workers at Ground Zero in Manhattan, at the Pentagon and aboard United Flight 93. But it also includes those who supported the shocked and stricken with kindness and love. Notable among the latter are the citizens of
San Diego arts roundup: Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney bringing back the ’90s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Wayback Machine will be parked on Main Street in El Cajon Sunday night, between Magnolia and Avocado, or perhaps more precisely between Guyville and Sleater Kinney Road. It’s 2026, but it might feel like 1994. The “Flannel and the Fury Tour” is bringing Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney to the Magnolia Theatre. As to those wayback references, singer-songwriter Phair announced her presence back in ’93 with the release of her indie-rock album “Exile in Guyville.” Written, Phair said, as a response
