The Cottage at North Coast Repertory Theatre

The Cottage at North Coast Repertory Theatre

Love, lies, and laughter collide behind closed doors. North Coast Repertory Theatre presents The Cottage, Sandy Rustin’s wickedly funny feminist farce that made its Broadway debut at the Helen Hayes Theater in 2023. Set in the English countryside in 1923, this side-splitting romp finds passion colliding with propriety as one woman’s decision to expose her own affair sends secrets, scandal, and screwball chaos spilling out of every room. As love, marriage, loyalty, and desire are called into question, The Cottage proves that betrayal has never been this much fun.

Ted Talks and Talks at North Coast Repertory Theatre

An intimate evening with Ted Leitner, the legendary broadcasting voice of the San Diego Padres, Aztecs, Channel 8 Sports, KFMB-AM Radio and more: up-close, un-filtered, and un-scripted – just like he’s always been. “Uncle Teddy” shares hilarious and moving stories about SD sports legends including Tony Gwynn, Jerry Coleman, Junior Seau, Trevor Hoffman, Bill Walton and Ted Williams as he reflects on a 4-decades long career. Controversial, outrageous and hilarious, share the evening with a master-storyteller Ca-Rushing stories from his own life and career from PS 105 in the Bronx to becoming the most riveting sports voice San Diego has ever known. This time, there’s no game clock, no commercial break and apparently no one telling him to wrap it up. Ted pulls back the curtain on a lifetime behind the microphone, sharing stories, experiences, opinions and assorted observations that, for better or worse, could only come from Uncle Teddy. Co-producer Andy Stradberg states “for San Diego sports fans who could never get enough of Ted Leitner—and even for those who occasionally thought they’d had enough—Uncle Teddy is back!”

Clue at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents a show based on a movie based on a board game in this cleverly adapted stage play by Sandy Rustin with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price adapted from the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn as its next student production.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

 

Director Benjamin Cole is delighted to share this production of silly wordplay and physical foolery. “We’re having a blast playing with these iconic characters,” Cole offers. Assistant Director Benedict Heaps adds, “The most fun staging the chaotic transitions across the vast murder mansion.” The show runs a daring 90 minutes with no intermission and aims to excite audiences throughout. Additional production staff includes Sound Designer, Melanie Chen Cole; Stage Manager, Victoria Hua; and Lighting Designer, Joshua Kelly.

King of the Wild Frontier Reading at North Coast Repertory Theatre

A special benefit staged reading at North Coast Rep of King of the Wild Frontier, a compelling new one-act, one-person play written by John Romano (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) and read by Emmy Award winner Joe Spano, is set against the world of a New Jersey country club in the 1960s. Through the memories of a young man coming of age, it interweaves the stories of a gifted golfer driven by desperation and a Catholic school student whose faith is transformed by an encounter with authority. As their paths converge, this funny, suspenseful, and deeply moving play becomes a haunting meditation on family, faith, power, and the moral choices that shape a life. Directed by Jenny Sullivan.

 

All proceeds of the reading benefit North Coast Rep. There will be a post-show discussion with actor Joe Spano, playwright John Romano and director Jenny Sullivan.

 

KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER will occur on October 5, 2026 at 7:30pm. North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Tickets are $65. Call 858-481-1055, or visit www.northcoastrep.org to purchase tickets.

EXTENSION- Good Night, Oscar at North Coast Repertory Theatre

He was the funniest man in the room. And the most unfiltered. North Coast Repertory Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of Good Night, Oscar, Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright’s compassionate and wickedly funny portrait of Oscar Levant — pianist, actor, composer, and legendary wit whose sharp tongue was matched only by his profound musical genius. Set during a fateful 1958 appearance on The Jack Paar Show, this electrifying play captures one unforgettable night in the life of Hollywood’s most neurotic and uncensored personality: a tortured artist wrestling with mental illness, addiction, and the price of fame, yet never losing his capacity for devastating honesty and breathtaking artistry. On Broadway, Sean Hayes won the 2023 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance as Levant. Equal parts comedy and tragedy, Good Night, Oscar is a love letter to the golden age of television and a showcase for theatrical virtuosity — the story of a man performing himself for an audience, decades before the internet made everyone do it.

“A play that is as funny as it is tragic.” — Jack The Lad Magazine

“Perennially relevant… provides a deeply thoughtful take on how social hypocrisies drive popular culture.” — Chicago Sun-Times

“Blisteringly funny, razor-sharp and deeply moving.” – NY Times

 

“A waspish, compulsive, meticulously well-crafted piece of theatre”  – WhatsOnStage

Teeing Up Care for Senior – Golf Community Event

The Teeing Up Care for Seniors event is open to both golfers and non-golfers.

 It’s a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon where everyone is welcome to take part and help support FCI Caring. Instead of playing all 18 holes, attendees will try various golf challenges, meet other members of the community, and see the real difference your support makes.

Golf Contests

Driving Range Challenge

  • Step up to the tee and see how far and how accurately you can hit the ball. Whether you want to go for the longest drive or hit special targets, this contest is great for golfers of all skill levels.

Putting Challenge

  • Are you capable of keeping a steady hand? Here’s a set of putting challenges designed to test your touch, accuracy, and confidence on the green. With each putt, you get an opportunity to claim bragging rights.

Chipping Challenge

  • Show off your short game by trying to land chip shots as close to the pin as you can. Accuracy matters most in this popular contest, which is fun for both beginners and experienced golfers.

Grenade Challenge

  • Want to try something new? The Grenade Challenge offers a fresh idea during the afternoon: a golf competition that puts your creativity, strategy, and ability to make shots to the test. This will be one of the most unforgettable aspects of the event.

More Than Golf

The event is not just about friendly competition; it is an opportunity to get together and show our support for FCI Caring. Throughout the afternoon, you will have the chance to meet local leaders, enjoy good food and drinks, win prizes, and see the positive difference your participation makes.

No matter how often you play golf, or whether you only play from time to time, or whether your aim is simply to have a pleasant way of giving your time to others, you’ll find something that suits you here.

We invite you to take part in a day filled with fun, friendly competition, and a positive impact on the community; each swing has the power to change people’s lives.
