Luca (PG)
6:00 PM
Animated. Francesca Fanti, Jacob Tremblay, Gino D’Acampo, Maya Rudolph, Jim Gaffigan; Directed by Enrico Casarosa
101 minutes; 2021
The 13-year-old boy Luca Paguro finds himself in the beautiful seaside town of Portorosso on the Italian Riviera for the summer. There, he meets Alberto Scorfano, a fellow teenage boy, and together, they spend their days eating pasta, downing gelato, riding scooters, and going on endless adventures. Their fun, however, is constantly threatened by their fear of the townspeople finding out about their little secret: that they came from the depths of the sea.

Shakespeare in the Park 2022
Much Ado About Nothing
FINAL WEEKEND
Saturday & Sunday, August 27-28, 2022
4:00 PM
Location: Red Morton Park, Valota Road side, 1455 Madison Ave, Redwood City- map
Free Shakespeare in the Park is celebrating 40 years of free, in-person outdoor theater performances in Redwood City, this year featuring Shakespeare’s delightful romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. San Francisco Shakespeare Festival brings its production for 3 weekends, from August 13th through August 28th, and offers 4:00pm shows on both Saturdays and Sundays. Our relaxing outdoor setting provides an opportunity to see high quality, professional theater, free of charge. Treat yourself to some Shakespeare this season, for a moment that is sure to please. This beloved classic features the intermingling of two different love stories - Hero and Claudio, whose love is challenged by jealousy, and Beatrice and Benedick who work through their past history with each other to find love again. The villainy of Don John and the malaprop-spouting Constable Dogberry add to the fun!

Art Kiosk Exhibit
Valerie Mendoza
The Destination Café
Curated by Lance M. Fung
Now-September 25, 2022
Café Hours: Every Thursday-Sunday, 12:00-2:00 PM
2208 Broadway, Redwood City
When experienced in isolation, lack of affordable housing may feel like a personal failure to those who face the challenge of securing a place to live. When considered on a global scale, it becomes clear that, far from an issue of personal success or failure, this is a world-wide phenomenon that should be attributed to other factors such as expanding neoliberalism, free market economy, gentrification, tourism, real estate speculation, and the absence of meaningful government oversight. Both large and small group discussions are encouraged in and around the café, through formal, planned events, and daily, casual conversation at seating provided inside and outside of the café. Light snacks are offered to foster a spirit of shared community.
