Moonlight Amphitheatre – Live Theatre Under The Stars! We’re Giving Away Free Tickets! The Producers June 12-29 A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers out of millions of dollars. But something goes awry and the show is a hit. As they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show, hiring a director, raising the money and going to prison for their misdeeds, the antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom are a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. Winner of a record twelve Tony Awards. John Waite July 6, 7:30pm Rock icon John Waite and his band perform his catalogue of hits from his 40-year career as a solo artist and lead singer of the bands The Babys and Bad English. His talent for power ballads and driving arena rock occasionally touched on new wave-styled power pop, making him a fixture of the rock and roll scene. His repertoire includes the No. 1 worldwide hit “Missing You,” The Babys’ “Isn’t It Time,” and Bad English’s “When I See You Smile.” Matilda The Musical July 17-August 3 Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Matilda The Musical is a pro-

Pageant of the Masters Celebrates 86 Years of Real Life Paintings and Sculpture July 7–Aug. 31, 8:30pm The Pageant of the Masters, for 86 years, since 1933, has been fascinating sold-out audiences year after year with its extraordinary one-of-a-kind show that combines theater, performance art and art history. Each evening from July 7 to August 31, classic and contemporary works of art are re-created with theatrical illusion and real people posing as living pictures. A live narrator serves as a guide through the story of each re-creation accompanied by the music of a professional orchestra. The Pageant is an absolute not-to-be-missed experience of a lifetime. Check this one off your bucket list! Their 2019 show, “The Time Machine,” takes audiences around the globe and into the past, present, and future in search of stunning art and amazing stories. Taking its cues from science fiction fantasies, this year’s theme is a ticket to thrills, laughter, beautiful music and extraordinary living art, outdoor and under the stars. Tickets range from $15 to $230 and can be purchased by phone, online or in person at the ticket office. The event is located at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach. For more information, call (949) 494-1145 or visit www. pageanttickets.com.

duction from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the story of a girl who dreams of a better life. Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other’s lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however—the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. West Side Story August 14-31 Based on the book by Arthur Laurents and featuring a score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, the world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical. Romeo and Juliet are transported to New York City as two young, idealistic lovers who find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most

innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas. Victor/Victoria September 11-28 Victor/Victoria is a witty, comic romp examining questions of gender, identity and love in 1930s Paris. English soprano Victoria Grant finds herself at a nightclub, without work or money, where she meets Carroll Todd, or “Toddy,” a performer at the club who gets fired trying to help her. With Toddy’s help, Victoria becomes “Count Victor Grazinski,” a renowned female impersonator. The twist is that she is a woman, claiming to be a man, claiming to be a woman. Things get even crazier when sparks begin to fly between Victoria and a notorious Chicago businessman, King Marchan, and he sets out to uncover “the Count’s” secret. Enter to Win Tickets! We’re giving away pairs of free tickets to The Producers or Matilda The Musical. It’s easy to enter. Just visit www. NorthCountySun.com and fill in the easy entry form. Ticket winners will be randomly selected, contacted, and confirmed by phone and email. Only one email entry per person is allowed. Must be 18 years old to enter giveaway.

North Coast Repertory Theatre Wiesenthal June 10-11, 7:30pm While packing up his files on an April afternoon in 2003, Wiesenthal, affectionately called “The Jewish James Bond,” recounts how he solved his most sensational cases. New Works Reading: No Choice By Judge H. Lee Sarokin June 18, 7:30pm A young couple fights the government over legislation that prohibits an abortion because of certain information obtained through early testing of the fetus. The play is based upon an actual law enacted in Indiana and raises an issue likely to end up in the Supreme Court. Another Roll of the Dice July 10-August 4 The World Premiere of Another Roll of the Dice re-unites songwriter Frank Loesser and author Damon Runyon, the creators of the legendary Broadway musical Guys and Dolls. In “Dice,” three classic Runyon stories are intertwined with hits from the Frank Loesser songbook, including “Heart and Soul,” “Two Sleepy People,” and “Let’s Get Lost,” performed by iconic Runyonesque characters. Don’t gamble on losing out on this sure-fire winner destined for many future productions. The Peter Sprague Trio July 15, 7:30pm

Back by popular demand, the Peter Sprague jazz trio explores songs that resonate with baby boomers. They start with The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor and Cream, and then they add some Cole Porter for balance. New Works Reading: Ideation by Aaron Loeb July 22, 7:30pm Aaron Loeb brings a dark comic edge to this psychological suspense thriller, in which a group of corporate consultants work together on a mysterious and ethically ambiguous project. As the lines between right and wrong are blurred, the characters must navigate the cognitive dissonances and moral dilemmas to decide for themselves if everything is as it really seems. Tuesday Night Comics July 23, 7:30pm Hosted by Mark Christopher Lawrence, Tuesday Night Comics is arguably the funniest night of comedy in San Diego. Lawrence taps into his extensive list of talented comedian friends and shares the stage with them. The show is comprised of talent from all over the country with late night television credits as well as credits from Comedy Central, HBO and Showtime. This show is rated R.

New Village Arts Theatre presents: Little Shop of Horrors June 1 – Aug. 4 Little Shop of Horrors, the classic horror comedy rock musical, tells the story of down-on-his-luck Seymour Krelborn, who finds a strange and unusual plant during an eclipse and believes it to be his opportunity to escape his unhappy life in rundown Skid Row. His coworker Audrey is also dealing with her own problems, and dreams of going “somewhere that’s green.” What neither of them realize, however, is that this strange and

unusual plant is actually an animated, smooth-talking, man-eating monster bent on world domination. As one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, Little Shop of Horrors has won the Drama Critics Circle Award and Drama Desk Award for Best Musical. New Village Arts Theatre is located at 2787 State St., Carlsbad. For more information, call (760) 433-3245 or visit www.newvillagearts.org.

Comic-Con International: San Diego July 18-21 San Diego’s highly anticipated summer event, Comic-Con International, returns to San Diego Convention Center with a plethora of activities for comic book lovers and pop culture fans alike. Originally showcasing comic books, science fiction, fantasy, film, and television, the show has expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture elements, such as horror, animation, anime, manga, cartoons, movies, TV Shows, toys, collectible card games, video games, web comics and fantasy novels. The convention is one of the largest pop culture events in the world. Comic-Con International: San Diego began in 1970 when a group of comics, movie and science fiction fans banded together to put on the first comic book convention in southern California. It started as a one-day event, called San Diego’s Golden State ComicMinicon, and was first held at the U.S. Grant Hotel. It has become very difficult to secure tickets to Comic-Con. With attendance topping 130,000 in recent years, the event has grown to include satellite locations, such as local hotels

Bring your family and enjoy a real Chicago-style meal indoors, or dine on their spacious patio. Make your Father’s Day reservations early. If you’re a pizza lover or are from Chicago or the mid-west, then you most likely know about Rosati’s Pizza. Their delicious, cheese dripping Chicago-style deep dish Italian pizza created by Ferdinand Rosati was originated when he opened his first restaurant on Taylor Street in Chicago in 1906, a hundred and twelve years ago. Back then, the pizza was old-world with tomato sauce served on crispy bread. In 1927 Ferdinand’s son, Saverio, opened a Rosati’s on Pulaski Street. Skip ahead to 1964 when Saverio’s sons took over and proceeded to open ten locations, and now have 200 restaurants nationwide. Authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza has two main ingredients:

Italian tomato sauce and Mozzarella cheese. This delicious combo is baked inside a deep-dish crust. You can order yours this authentic way; or you can add an assortment of toppings. Rosati’s deep-dish crust is light and crispy. We don’t know how they do this; but it’s a special craft to make deep-dish with a crispy crust. Their deep-dish pizza is mouth watering with mounds of gooey Mozzarella and topped with Pomodoro tomatoes. It’s something you must add to your bucket list. Caution: It takes about 30-45 minutes to bake this pie perfectly. They also serve Chicagostyle thin crust pizza, as well as gluten-free thin crust pizza! Rosati’s offers build-your-own pasta, specialty pastas, calzone, salads, and desserts. Clip their Wing Wednesdays Coupon from our coupon pages or download from http://northcountysun.com/category/coupons/. Not valid with other offers or specials. Must present coupon.

Dining, Sipping, and Drinking Patron–Tortilleria and Carniceria

We want everyone in San Marcos and nearby communities to know where to find the best authentic Mexican fresh-made-daily tacos ($.99); hot, fresh, handmade daily tortillas (10 for $2.99); and Carne Asada combo plates for $6.99. On a hot summer day try their fresh-made-daily Aguas Frescas! Aguas Frescas is really popular in Southern California. Aguas Frescas is fresh squeezed and blended fresh fruit mixed with water and ice. Patron serves very large 32 oz. cups for only $2.99. It’s a large serving, and an amazing deal. It comes in many delicious fresh fruit combinations, like pineapple and orange, watermelon, papaya, and kiwi. Our favorite has all kinds of mixed fruit in it, including apples. You can see lots of freshly chopped fruit chunks mixed with blended juice. It’s really delicious. Locals go to Patron and get freshly made, piping hot tortillas every day around 4-6pm. Why buy department store tortillas when you can get fresh, hot tortillas? And, why pay more for tacos when you can get authentic street tacos (custom made) for under a dollar? All tacos are made to order!

If you’re staying at the Marriott Fairfield Inn on San Marcos Blvd, or if you’re a student at Palomar College or CSUSM, or if you live in San Elijo Hills or nearby, and you want authentic Mexican food, try eating and shopping where Mexican-Americans go. Patron has an assortment of guacamole and salsa that is made fresh daily; Mexican cheeses and canned goods; fresh fruits and vegetables, including locally-grown tomatoes, avocados, lemons and papayas; and their own butcher shop, with chicken, beef, goat, and pork. This is the place to buy Carne Asada for your summertime BBQ party! Every morning, Patron customers pick up delicious, hot tamales, and in the afternoon—piping hot, hand-made tortillas. Patron custom-makes their tacos. For your taco meat, we recommend Birria, a flavorful beef or goat stewed meat, or their chicken mole. Top off your taco with red or green salsa, Mexican avocado sauce, cheese, onions, and fresh sliced lime. They often sell-out of tamales and tortillas; so get there early! Patron is located at 204 W. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos 92078. Call (760) 736-0086.

Tony’s Jacal is one of the most exciting and lively places to be throughout summer and especially during horse racing season. Days and evenings are sure to be lively, especially the bar, so get there early to avoid waiting for a table. Tony’s is one of the most famous and historic Mexican restaurants and cantinas in San Diego. You never know who you might see there; including celebrities, horse owners, and jockeys. According to Zagat, “Tony’s Jacal is one of the most authentic north of the border Mexican restaurants.” Taste the flavors of old Mexico and enjoy the history of one of the first Mexican restaurants in San Diego. Tony’s Jacal (pronounced hakal) is one of San Diego’s oldest and most treasured Mexican restaurants. Located in Solana Beach, Tony’s Jacal is a historic San Diego landmark which opened its doors in 1946 as a small neighborhood house where neighbors would stop by for a delicious meal. Its reputation increased over the years because their cuisine is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere and service are equally outstanding. For three generations, Tony’s Jacal has been serving family specialties, like their famous chile relleno, turkey tacos,

turkey enchiladas, flautas and shrimp burritos. We recommend their very special turkey tamales with a wonderful mole sauce made with black Pasilla Chiles, which you can order off the menu all-year-round. Tony’s Jacal has a beautiful floral outdoor garden patio and live Mariachi music on weekend evenings. Their classic cantina has new lighting, a new granite bar top, and comfortable bar stools.

There’s nothing better than eating piping hot bagels right out of the oven. Try a Bruegger’s Turkey Sandwich on a hotfrom-the-oven Jalapeno and cheese or onion bagel. Or start your day with one of their classic breakfast sandwiches with a poached egg and your choice of peppered bacon, ham, sausage or turkey sausage on a hot fresh bagel. We recommend their Western Bagel sandwich with egg, bacon, cheddar, chipotle sauce, green pepper, red pepper, and red onion on a fresh hot bagel. Of course, our all-time favorite is their classic Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese, stacked high on a fresh bagel with sliced tomato, red onions and capers. During the summer try one of their delicious French toast bagels, with cream cheese. In addition to their famous bagels, breakfast sandwiches and

bagel sandwiches, Bruegger’s also offers a healthier “Under 500 Calorie” menu. If you are a calorie counter, try one of their Skinny Bagels. Guests can now order any of Bruegger’s 15-plus varieties “skinny,” due to Bruegger’s unique slicing process. Instead of changing the recipe of its time-tested, New York-style bagel, Bruegger’s slices the bagels thinner using a process that removes approximately one-third of the bagel’s center but preserves its unique eggshell crust and delicious toppings. The result is a lower calorie bagel without sacrificing variety or taste. Bruegger’s operates 300 bakeries in North America with 8 bakeries in San Diego. You can find a Bruegger’s Bagels in North County at 7680 El Camino Real, Carlsbad 92009, or at 10625 Scripps Poway Parkway in Poway.

The Celebration begins with the opening Samoan Church Choir Service at the Melba Bishop Recreation Center on Sunday, June 30, from 3 to 5pm, followed by various youth sports clinics such as rugby, basketball, volleyball, and Cupstack. There will be music and cultural arts on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, July 1-3, from 5pm to 8:30pm, also at the Melba Bishop Rec Center. The Recreation Center is located at 5306 North River Road in Oceanside. The celebration features traditional dancing, live music

and performances, cultural competitions, food and local vendors on July 6, from 12 to 8pm, at its new location at 300 Coast Highway and Pierview Way, near the Oceanside Library. This is where spectators will enjoy watching Polynesian performances including traditional singing and dancing, fire knife, Samoan sivas and indulge in island cuisine. Cultural performances begin at 2:30pm. There is open seating on a first-come basis. The festival has arts and craft booths, island themed clothing, lava lava, and refreshments. The event is free and open to the public. A very special feature and new addition to this year’s celebration is the “Stack To The Future” Cupstack challenge and celebration, in the Junior Seau Beach Community Center, Saturday and Sunday, 11-3 on Saturday, and Sunday 12-4pm. Oceanside is the birthplace of Cupstack, invented by Wayne Godinet. Oceanside’s world record holder Matt “Attack” Adame (90’s) and others will challenge today’s fastest stackers from around the world, including Australian Champion, Molly Hallam, 19, the most traveled stacker in the world. The Samoan Cultural Celebration is presented by the Oceanside Samoan Cultural Committee, an organized group of volunteers dedicated to highlighting the best of American and Samoan culture.

Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten, Pre-Kindergarten Parents of four and five year old children are faced with important decisions in the coming months about Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten, and Pre-Kindergarten. It can be confusing about age requirements and purpose. Transitional Kindergarten programs are offered by a limited number of public and private schools for children not yet eligible for Kindergarten. The purpose of Transitional Early Entry Kindergarten is to provide students with an academic foundation and the social skills necessary for success in Kindergarten. Typically, children must be five years of age by December 1. Pre-Kindergarten or (Kindergarten Preparatory) programs are designed for four and five year old children. Programs and curriculum vary widely. For children not yet ready for a comprehensive academic Kindergarten program, look for a Pre-Kindergarten pro-

gram with an engaging early literacy based curriculum to foster and enhance learning and social skills. For children ready for a more academic approach, consider a comprehensive Transitional Early Entry Kindergarten program. La Costa Valley Preschool & Kindergarten, has been successfully offering Nationally Accredited Pre-Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten, and Kindergarten programs since 1991. Their State Department of Education private school’s Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten enrollment eligibility is based upon a student’s demonstrated developmental and academic readiness skills. Now is the time to begin exploring programs and options. If you begin the process now, you may find it is a good adventure and you won’t feel pressed when making this important decision for your child’s social and academic success. For more information, contact La Costa Valley Preschool and Kindergarten at 760-436-2797, or visit www. lacostavalleypreschool.com.

Home Seller Advisory #2 Home Seller Advisory #2: Beware of the “Universal Phone Call” that goes something like this; “Hello, I have a buyer interested in buying your home, are you interested in selling?” Truth is very few of these solicitation calls have a specific buyer. If you answer yes to their question, then simply ask them to put their buyer’s name on a “single party” listing agreement, so your obligation is only to pay a reduced commission if that specific buyer buys your home, with no other contractual obligations. Buyer’s broker commission is normally 2.5% . . . or if you find a buyer for your unlisted home, I can handle all the paperwork for 1% of sales price. This advisory to sellers is provided as a courtesy by David Boe, owner and broker of Boe Real Estate, offering 35 years broker experience and selling over 1,000 homes. David Boe offers 1% listing commissions to sellers and 1% rebates to buyers. Call David Boe at 760.846.0486 or visit, DavidBoe.com. CA DRE 00672393.

66th Annual World Championship OverThe-Line Tournament July 13-14 and 20-21 This summer, the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club celebrates 66 years of hosting the Over-The-Line (OTL) Tournament. The tournament attracts an international crowd of participants and spectators to Mission Bay Park’s Fiesta Island. It takes place over two weekends from July 13 to 14 and July 20 to 21. Tournament play begins at 7:30am each day and continues until sunset. Over-The-Line participants compete in a softball-like bat and ball sport. Three-player teams are encouraged to create unique and unusual names for their teams and many participate while wearing wild costumes. The court is made of a rope triangle in the sand. Hits are made when a ball is hit into fair territory on the fly without being caught by fielders, when any ball is touched and dropped by fielders, or when fielders cross “the line” or any of its extensions when attempting to catch a ball. Three hits in an inning scores one run, while each additional hit in that same inning scores one more run, and a home run “clears the bases.” On the first weekend of play, teams compete in three-inning games. On the second weekend of play, teams participate in four-inning games. The Over-The-Line Tournament is a free public event, but it is not appropriate for children, due to language. There are several stands to purchase hot food and cold non-alcoholic drinks. Parking is available adjacent to the playing area and at the northeast corner of Sea World Drive and Pacific Highway. Free shuttle buses are provided for convenience. Fiesta Island is located at 1590 East Mission Bay Drive, San Diego. For more information, visit www.ombac.org.

Switchfoot Bro-Am and Rob Machado Bro-Junior Beach Fest at Moonlight Beach June 29, 7am-5pm Switchfoot Bro-Am Beach Fest once again brings summer vibes and an empowering community movement to Moonlight Beach on June 29. It’s hard to believe, but more than 17,000 people of all ages squeeze onto Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. Switchfoot BroAm is hosted by Grammy Awardwinning rock band Switchfoot and Rob Machado, and features surfing, food, and live music throughout the day. The Bro-Am Surf Contest is a major part of Beach Fest. It features pro teams, juniors, surf jousting, and the Junior Seau Foundation Adaptive Surf Program, presented by Challenged Athletes Foundation athletes. The competitions kick off the day at 7am and run until 2:30pm. From noon to 5pm, beach goers can rock out to live performances by Switchfoot and special guests. Past performers have included Rob Machado, Jason Mraz, Needtobreathe, Echosmith, Lifehouse, American Authors,

Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) and John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls). In 2005, Switchfoot dreamed up an idea to give back to the hometown that supported them as surfers and musicians, rallying the community and investing in kids who might need a hand up. Funds are raised through an online Bro-Am Auction from June 12 to 26, a pre-event Benefit Party on June 27, and sales from vendors during Beach Fest. Since its inception, Bro-Am has raised more than $1.5 million for local youth beneficiaries. Some of this year’s beneficiaries include A Step Beyond, Challenged Athletes Foundation, Feeding San Diego, Rob Machado Foundation, Stand Up for Kids and Save the Music Foundation. Beach Fest activities are free and open to the public, but there is an option to purchase VIP tickets for the afternoon concert. Moonlight Beach is located at 400 B St., Encinitas.

The Crossings at Carlsbad Nestled in a natural habitat on more than 400 acres of Carlsbad’s coastal terrain, The Crossings at Carlsbad opened in 2007 and remains one of the priciest municipal golf courses ever built with a price tag of more than $70 million. Built on a hilly terrain with gorges and multiple bridge crossings — hence the name “The Crossings” — this 18-hole championship municipal golf course and event facility offers visitors a magnificent setting in a relaxed California coastal environment. The course’s five bridges were designed to meet existing environmental and topographic conditions. This is not a beginner’s par-3, but a challenging 18-hole championship golf

course, designed by Greg Nash and featuring stunning panoramic views. The clubhouse is completely equipped with a starters desk, apparel and golf equipment boutique. There is also an adjoining bar with HD TVs, an outdoor patio with golf course and ocean views, and a restaurant called The Canyons. The Canyons hosts Friday Unwind, from 5:30 to 7:30pm on Fridays, featuring live music on the patio. There is also a Sunday brunch buffet with bottomless mimosas and a lively happy hour with food and drink specials, including $5 well cocktails, draft beer and wine. Happy hour is from 3 to 6pm Sunday through Thursday. The Crossings at Carlsbad is located at 5800 The Crossings Drive, Carlsbad.
