DESCRIPTION:Captain Sandaker and First Lieutenant Wallace\, two-man crew of a remote missile silo\, hold the literal keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

SUMMARY:Tribeca—New Art City Theatre: Festival 25—A “New Works” playwright’s festival
DESCRIPTION:Set against the cut-throat but well-heeled world of New York City’s private preschool admissions\, Tribeca is a satire that follows one couple as they vie to get their toddler into the most exclusive preschool in Manhattan.

SUMMARY:Squatters\, Scandals\, and Surfing: A History of Rincon
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum of Ventura County for a discussion with authors Stephen Bates and Vincent Burns. Their book\, Images of America: Rincon Point\, uncovers the history of this famous and storied surf spot. Admission is free. Copies of Images of America: Rincon Point by Stephen Bates and Vincent Burns will be available for purchase. \nRincon Point is renowned as the Queen of the Coast\, one of the premier surfing spots in the world\, but that is only a fragment of its rich history. Before the arrival of Europeans\, it was a Chumash village called Shuku. In the 19th century\, it was part of Rancho El Rincon\, whose owners included a rich but illiterate Californio rancher\, an English physician who made house calls by bicycle\, and a Chilean pharmacist who dispensed drugs out of an old ship’s cabin. It was the site of a scandalous love-triangle murder in the 1870s\, a rickety highway on stilts in the 1910s\, and a raunchy honky-tonk in the 1920s. Banditos\, nudists\, movie stars\, long-boarders–they have all shaped Rincon Point\, a place immortalized by novelists\, poets\, painters\, photographers\, and the Beach Boys.
