Unseen
by Mona Mansour
Directed by Benjamin T. Ismail

May 7 – June 8, 2025
Sacramento Premiere

Conflict photographer Mia wakes up in the Istanbul apartment of her on-again, off-again girlfriend after being found unconscious at the scene of a massacre she was photographing. Mia can’t even remember being there, but she wired photos of the site hours before she was found. The two women resume their volatile push-pull when Mia’s well-meaning Californian mother arrives from the US, trying to help unravel what happened to her daughter.

“Thought-provoking, challenging and complex. Those attributes alone make Unseen worth seeing, but it’s all that and more.” –ASHLAND NEWS

California Insurance Crisis panel & discussion

Posted to Special Interests May 14th, 2025

Join Capitol Weekly and the University of California Student and Policy Center for: California Insurance Crisis, Wednesday, May 14, 2025 in Sacramento. Attend in person or on Zoom.

Wildfire disasters are now a fact of life in California; seven of the ten most destructive fires in California history have occurred in the past decade. Climate Change, an aging electrical grid and expansion of the wildland-urban interface have made catastrophic fire events almost commonplace. The state faces a mounting crisis as insurers leave California, stop issuing new policies or otherwise limit their exposure. What can be done to stabilize California’s insurance industry?

More than a dozen experts and elected officials, including Asm. Pilar Schiavo; Rex Frazier, Personal Insurance Federation of California; Amy Bach, United Policyholders; Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore; and Nancy Wallace, UC Berkeley, will discuss California’s Insurance Crisis.

Featured panels on:

The State of the Insurance Industry
The Los Angeles Fires

theatre of the Absurd presents: Madness – C’Est La Vie

“The lights go down on some dark theatre in London / For the cruellest comedy…”

Read the headlines and it’s hard not to conclude that the world has gone mad. Mad enough, in fact, to give North London’s finest twelve-legged quorum of Nutty Boys a run for their money. According to keyboard-wrangler Mike ‘Barso’ Barson, the title track to Madness’s lucky thirteenth full-length C’Est La Vie is “about these crazy times we’re living in, and how I just want to stay on my boat and not be a part of all this madness. But of course, I’m a member of a group called Madness. Perhaps we should have called ourselves ‘Sanity’…”

If this latest opus is any indication, when the going gets mad, the Mad only get sharper, wilder and more succinct. more here
