In "The Actor's Nightmare", George Spelvin wanders on stage and is met by stage manager Meg, who says he is to fill in for an actor who has had an accident. George is confused as Ellen Terry, Sarah Siddons and Henry Irving arrive, all apparently about to perform. But what in? "Private Lives"? "Hamlet"? Or something by Beckett? As each starts playing his or her respective part, George tries valiantly to follow them but is apparently facing the Executioner as Thomas More in "A Man For All Seasons". In "Dentity Crisis", recovering from a nervous breakdown, Jane is nursed and nagged by her relentlessly cheerful mother, and confused by her oversexed brother—who keeps changing into her father, her grandfather and her mother’s French lover. Eventually, all (including Jane’s psychiatrist) change characters again and become Jane herself—leaving her with no identity at all and pointing up the near impossibility of self-identification in our uncertain times.

You know YOLA DÍA is serious about putting the spotlight on women when they give you a rare acoustic set from Courtney Love. That's right, the enfant terrible of '90s grunge is going unplugged for this day of music entirely by female artists. And it doesn't stop there -- YOLA DÍA's also got Cat Power's achingly vulnerable experimental rock, "and" the quirky, retro indie pop of festival organizer Lykke Li. And that's not even the whole story -- from the avant-garde pop of Kelsey Lu to the confident, sex-positive rap of Megan Thee Stallion -- the festival lineup shows off the enormous diversity of talent out there when it comes to women in music.

O.A.R. (short for "Of A Revolution") first gained success playing on college campuses, but it wasn't long before their roots-rock and reggae-tinged sound spread to music lovers everywhere. Lead singer and primary songwriter Marc Roberge, drummer Chris Culos, guitarist Richard On, bassist Benj Gershman and saxophonist/guitarist Jerry DePizzo have created and maintained a sort of a parallel universe in which individually they are able to hide in plain site without having to endure the downside of fame, while simultaneously filling arenas and amphitheaters who come to hear their relatable songs with big pop hooks. A band renowned for their epic live shows, O.A.R. is embarking on a spring/summer tour in support of their ninth studio album, "The Mighty", and they’re bringing it to Costa Mesa’s Pacific Amphitheater as part of the 2019 OC Fair. They’ll be joined by Brooklyn-based American Authors (best known for their hits “Believer” and “Best Day of My Life”) and Adam Levine’s protege Rozzi, who’s been compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse and Aretha Franklin. Your concert ticket includes same-day admission to the fair. [less-]
