Many dance organizations in San Diego are feeling the pressure from funding cuts and other changes to the arts landscape.
On Midday Edition on Thursday, we hear from two leaders in the local dance community who are navigating these challenges, and what it could all mean for San Diego’s dance scene.
Plus, Oceanside Theatre Company is putting on its production of "Latin History for Morons." Originally a one-man show by actor John Leguizamo, the play recaps 3,000 years of Latin history with a comedic twist. KPBS arts reporter Beth Accomando previews the play.
And finally, the Tony Award-winning play "Jaja's African Hair Braiding" is currently on stage at the La Jolla Playhouse. KPBS arts reporter Julia Dixon Evans chats with the playwright about the West African hair braiding shops in Harlem that inspired her, and bringing the production out of New York.
