✨ COMMUNITY EVENT ✨
Bonitafest Melodrama!!
Exciting event ahead! Join us for several evenings of great entertainment at the 47th Annual Melodrama “Thin Skins and Hayseeds,” happening September 25-28 at 7:30 pm. Spread the word and help support local arts and community events!
The Bonitafest Melodrama, San Diego County’s longest-running theatrical production, began in 1978 as a community-focused performance. It was co-created by journalism student Max Branscomb and drama teacher Loren Lindsey and originally staged in a rented circus tent with minimal production values. Despite its humble beginnings, the show became a beloved annual tradition, celebrating South Bay’s history through music and storytelling. Over the years, the script has been updated, most recently with the help of young talent Ella Aldridge. Honored for its cultural impact, the melodrama continues to promote community, history, and diversity.
