  • Sweet Strings: Scottish Fish to bring Celtic flavor to Ventura on April 18

    2 weeks ago | vcreporter.com | Tim Pompey

    When you’ve grown up playing Celtic music, and your band is driven by its joyful energy, how can your life not be exuberant and fun-filled? Welcome to the world of Scottish Fish, the all-women’s string band that keeps wowing audiences with its brilliant interpretations of Scottish and Cape Breton fiddle music. Of course, you’ll ask: What are Scottish Fish? Let me be the first to say it’s got nothing to do with Pisces or fish in general.

  • ‘Crazy Mama’: Family ties, mental illness poignantly portrayed at the Rubicon

    2 weeks ago | vcreporter.com | Tim Pompey

    This is not a happy story. I say this not to deter you from attending but to let you know that “Crazy Mama,” a play by Ojai resident Sharon Scott Williams currently onstage at the Rubicon Theatre, is a serious portrayal of mental illness. And while it may have some elements of humor to it, it’s not intended to be comical, facetious or sly. It’s painful. Good Lord, is it painful, especially if you’ve dealt with this in your own family. For children, it’s particularly devastating.

  • From Russia With Love: Conejo Players Theatre presents ‘Anastasia’

    4 weeks ago | vcreporter.com | Tim Pompey

    When you’re dealing with Russia and its stories, you can count on several things — drama, royalty, class distinctions, revolution, war and romance. Think of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Pasternak and Nabokov.

  • Eye of the beholder: “What Is Beauty?” at the Museum of Ventura County

    1 month ago | vcreporter.com | Tim Pompey

    Welcome to the profound question: What is beauty? An exhibition currently on display at the Museum of Ventura County (MVC) probes this provocative query and invites us to explore diverse perspectives on beauty through 14 portraits by Ventura County artists from the museum’s permanent collection. Carlos Ortega, the museum’s chief curator, sat down for a conversation regarding this exhibit. Ortega is from Spain and, most recently, from the Rancho Los Cerritos Museum in Long Beach.

  • American tale: Actors’ Repertory Theatre of Simi presents ‘Ragtime’

    1 month ago | vcreporter.com | Tim Pompey

    Wow. What a production. A full-sized cast of dozens plus their orchestra jammed into the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center. There wasn’t an inch of spare space anywhere on or around the stage. This was the musical “Ragtime,” the four-time Tony award-winning production whose foot-stomping music and extensive cast and crew threatened to raise the roof off the moderate-sized theater. It’s summer in New York City at the turn of the 20th century.

Hello, Mr. Wohlleben. I'm sharing a link: https://t.co/JroCWya0KE Do you think it's a scientific possibility in forest management to strip forests of their "mothers" and leave the "children" without understanding of their own defenses? Or perhaps weakened against insects?
