Villa Montezuma Museum

Zarzuela comes to San Diego!
A passionate beauty sways the hearts and political leanings of two men as Spain is torn between monarchy and revolution in Federico Moreno Torroba’s “Luisa Fernanda.”
This fiery yet romantic drama is a great example of Zarzuela, a unique Spanish art form incorporating classical singing as well as spoken words to tell stories of the people. “Luisa Fernanda” was written in 1932, and it has been one of the most beloved Zarzuelas ever since.
Cinballera Entertainment is honoring San Diego’s rich Hispanic history by performing this Zarzuela in concert at the beautiful Villa Montezuma. The production will be performed in costume and with as much staging as possible in the intimate setting of the Villa.
Cinballera’s Season 3 finale also honors its founders’ operatic history. Sisters Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan performed in this opera at ages 12 and 9, their first opera.

Light Box Theater

Where poetry, dance, music, and painted costumes come alive.
A San Diego mom and U.S. Navy service member is bringing her deeply personal story to the stage.
“Where the Heart Belongs” is a one-woman performance by Vietnamese artist Linh Tran, presented at the San Diego International Fringe Festival. Blending poetry, music, dance, and hand-painted visual art, the show transforms the stage into a living gallery--where every movement, costume, and object is an original artwork.
At its heart, the performance is a love letter to her first child, and a tribute to the child she lost--an emotional journey through motherhood, love, loss, and healing.
Some poems are sung live with melodies created on stage, while dance unfolds through improvisation--making each performance unique.
✨ What to expect: 
• Original poetry, music, and movement 
• Hand-painted costumes and immersive visuals 
• A deeply emotional and intimate experience

Our mission is to help clients maintain independence, dignity, and safety while receiving high-quality care tailored to their unique needs. Our experienced caregivers are carefully screened, background-checked, and trained to provide a wide range of non-medical home care services. We assist with personal care, bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility assistance, medication reminders, meal preparation, companionship, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and errands. We also specialize in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, fall prevention, post-hospital recovery support, respite care for family caregivers, and 24-hour or live-in care services for clients who need around-the-clock supervision. 24 Hour Caregivers proudly serves seniors and families throughout San Diego and surrounding communities, including La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Chula Vista, National City, Oceanside, Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Coronado, and nearby areas. Whether a client needs just a few hours of assistance each week or full-time, around-the-clock care, our flexible care plans are designed to meet each family’s schedule and level of support required. We understand that choosing the right home care provider is an important decision. Our team works closely with families, healthcare professionals, and discharge planners to ensure a smooth transition from hospital or rehabilitation back to the home environment. Our caregivers focus not only on physical assistance but also on meaningful companionship that improves quality of life. At 24 Hour Caregivers, we are committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and professional home care services across San Diego County. Our goal is to give families peace of mind while helping seniors live safely, comfortably.
