By The Teashore

Step out of the modern world and into the bleak December of 1845 at By the Teashore.
From October 17 through November 1, from 11am-3pm (4pm on weekends) our 1903 historic tea house surrenders its daylight to the shadows of Edgar Allan Poe. We invite you to ponder, weak and weary, over a dark and brooding experience. Our exclusive "Quoth the Raven Nevermore Terror Tea" service features an eerie array of midnight-hued bites, melancholy pastries and sandwiches, eerie desserts, and deeply aromatic loose-leaf botanicals. Beneath the weight of history and the watchful eye of the Raven, you’ll indulge in a feast designed for the brokenhearted, the literary eccentric, and the beautifully macabre. Reserve your seat before the final shadow lifts.Costumes highly encouraged!
Visit ByTheTeashore.com for reservations. Seating is limited. Located at 724 Main Street, Half Moon Bay.&nbsp;

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
The San Mateo County Community College District in California, responsible for the College of San Mateo Theatre, is committed to ensuring an inclusive and equitable environment for all, where programs and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
