Attention fellow San Diegans! Don't miss this staged reading of a new play at North Coast Rep in Solana Beach on June 15. It's a compelling court room drama based on a pivotal 1903 voting rights case that believe me will resonate in today's political environment!

In response, Mr. Trump wrote on social media that Mr. Springsteen “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT” and called for a “major investigation” into the artist. You know you're in trouble when you have to go up against the Boss. Thank you Bruce Springsteen for your courage!
