Join us on the performance lawn at Sensorio Paso for Jazz and Soul with Sunny Wright, Pat Kelley, David Keif, and Darrell Voss.

Hand-picked to perform the music of The Eagles by Mark Cuban & Ryan Seacrest’s network AXS-TV, their 90-minute live concert for the hit TV show “The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” was broadcast to millions of viewers over five countries.

Marked by lush vocal harmonies and exceptional musical accuracy, every TLR performance delivers a reverence for the beloved, Eagles recordings blended with The Long Run’s own live-concert personality.

A little magic can take you a long way. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends- Miss Spider, Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and Earthworm. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!

This exhibition showcases historic Broadway posters from collector Richard C. Norton, a comprehensive selection of musical theater posters 1972 to the present ranging from the famous to the obscure, from the celebrated to the damned. These posters offer insight into the evolution of American musical theater, graphic design, marketing, image branding and audience engagement. Far more than advertisements, they reflect the artistic, social and commercial contexts of their time—revealing how productions were first introduced, how stars were celebrated, and how visual trends paralleled theatrical innovation.

Exhibition runs from October 6 to December 5.

Siji Krishnan’s paintings invite viewers into a world where memory, myth, and daily life intertwine. Working primarily on delicate rice paper, she builds up translucent layers of watercolor and oil to reveal figures, landscapes, and hidden details. Her images often feel dreamlike—ponds shimmering with light, grasses bending in the rain, or figures dissolving into their surroundings—suggesting the ways that identity, home, and belonging are shaped by both what we see and what lies beneath the surface.

The exhibition The Secret Place brings together recent works from Krishnan’s Los Angeles debut, alongside five new large paintings created in her studio in Kerala, India. In these new works, Krishnan replaces her more figurative elements with water, plants, and sky. The natural world of her home—backwaters, monsoon rains, and village ponds—becomes a central motif, a site of both refuge and transformation. Themes of fertility and motherhood, community, and renewal flow through her practice, informed by her experiences of raising a child and the shifting boundaries between self and environment.

Krishnan’s art asks us to look slowly and closely. Small details emerge—an animal, a flower petal, a shadow of a figure—like secrets discovered over time. Both intimate and expansive, her paintings transcend cultural and geographic boundaries, embodying the Upanishadic (ancient Indian sacred philosophical texts) philosophy vasudhaiva kutumbakam: “the world is one family.”

Exhibition runs from October 11 to February 22.

The SLO Elks Lodge Haunted House and Carnival is back this year on October 24th and 25th, 5–9 pm, and it’s more spine-chilling than ever! Brave souls will wander through haunted halls, encounter eerie surprises, and test their courage…if you have the guts. Not ready to face the frights? No worries! We’ve got a Kids Maze, carnival games, candy, and treats for the little goblins and ghouls. Gather your courage, bring your friends, and come experience the thrills.

Get ready for a fast-paced, door-slamming, laugh-out-loud comedy! In a seedy motel room, two rookie cops set up a sting operation to catch a corrupt mayor. But when the mayor’s nervous accountant arrives, mistaken identities, double-crosses, and a mysterious Scottish hit man throw everything hilariously off-course. With eight doors, nonstop confusion, and a steady stream of outrageous twists, this award-winning farce delivers a night of side-splitting fun. Buckle up—it’s going to be a wild (and very funny) ride!

Every Brilliant Thing returns to Santa Barbara for the second time with the show’s original co-creator and star, Jonny Donahoe.

This unique and critically acclaimed play has become a global stage phenomenon, playing more than six hundred times over four continents, including five months off-Broadway and currently being performed in London’s West End.

Every Brilliant Thing follows a child who, to lift his mother’s spirits, begins a heartfelt list of life’s small joys—a list that grows over the years and comes to shape their own journey. Both poignant and funny, the play explores the extraordinary ways we care for the people we love.
