SUMMARY:At the Ocean’s Edge\, an Artist Asks Us to Look Closer
DESCRIPTION:In “On the Edge of the Pacific\,” Monica Loncola brings the life of the Monterey Bay tideline — chitons\, kelp holdfasts\, urchin shells and more — to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History\, Sept. 16 through Jan. 3 \nWhile meandering along the ocean’s edge\, people often step over mussel shells\, barnacles\, broken crustaceans\, bull kelp\, seaweed and dozens of formerly living creatures now sharing the tideline with those who walk alongside it. \nThese are exactly the things Monica Loncola stops to look at. \nOn Sept. 16\, the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History opens “On the Edge of the Pacific\,” a new body of work by Loncola that draws the eye down to the small\, easily missed lives at the water’s edge. Her images invite viewers to pause and take a closer look through her eyes. The exhibition is on view through Jan. 3\, 2027. \nLoncola is a lifelong artist and observer of the natural world whose work blends science\, art\, curiosity and memory. In her work\, she isolates a single subject — or several subjects linked by a common thread — rendering them as if floating in a quiet\, dreamlike state of recollection. \nThe result blends detailed illustration with Loncola’s stylized approach\, influenced by her lifelong attraction to the works of Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer. Scientific observation and a painterly approach come together in pieces intended to capture not simply what a subject looks like\, but what made Loncola stop and notice it in the first place. \n“I feel as if I’m stopped in my tracks by a subconscious familiarity with my subject\,” Loncola said. “I want to paint the essence of what made me stop and notice.” \nThat way of seeing was sharpened later in Loncola’s life when she returned to school and completed her Masters Certification in Science Illustration at CSU Monterey Bay — proof\, she says\, that it is never too late to pursue a passion. \n“It’s never too late to step it up and dive into your passion and share it with the world\,” Loncola said. \nHer science illustration training gave her the discipline to closely observe and accurately render the natural world while learning digital tools to combine with her fine-art background. The finished works blur the line between fine art and illustration. \nA pivotal chapter in the work traces back to the water itself. \nAfter completing an internship with the Western Flyer Foundation as a requirement for her graduate studies\, Loncola took part in an April 2025 journey to the Gulf of California commemorating the 85th anniversary of the historic 1940 expedition of author John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts. \nTheir voyage aboard the fishing vessel Western Flyer became the inspiration for the book Sea of Cortez. Working from field observations\, journal sketches and photographs\, Loncola developed pieces in her studio that became the inspiration for this ongoing body of work exploring the cycle of life and decay at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. \nLoncola followed a path that still runs directly through Cannery Row and the marine science of Monterey Bay. \nThe exhibition is deliberately grounded in traditional materials — pencil\, watercolor\, ink\, oil and\, in at least one case\, squid ink — echoing the tools a naturalist of Ricketts’ era might have carried. \nStandout works include “Primordial Jewel\,” which enlarges the hidden\, iridescent interior of a mossy chiton into something monumental; “Sea Palm\,” inspired by a holdfast spotted at Carmel River State Beach; “La Moule Bleue\,” featuring a large blue mussel from a negative low tide covered in tide-pool species; “Intertidal Relics\,” a detailed pencil study of fragments and shells gathered along the tideline; and “Ocean’s Eye\,” drawn from a moment when a whale surfaced close enough to meet Loncola’s gaze. \nLarger pieces are meant to be seen — and felt — from across the room. \nConservation runs through the show\, but it arrives the way Loncola intends it to: through what she describes as “the wonderful world of curiosity that can lead to action.” \nShe is especially fascinated by kelp — its scale\, strength\, movement and role as habitat — and by the holdfast\, the structure that anchors a kelp stipe against the current. \nFor Loncola\, “hold fast” is also a call to action: Hold fast to your curiosity\, your passion and your own way of seeing. \nVisitors curious to go further are pointed toward organizations working to restore California’s kelp forests\, including Reef Check and the Kelp Forest Alliance. \nThe invitation is simple and sequential: Look closer. Become curious. Understand more. Care more. And\, finally\, get involved. \nMeet the Artist \nVisitors will have two special opportunities to experience Loncola and her work during the exhibition. \nOn Saturday\, Oct. 10\, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, Loncola will draw coastal birds live on-site at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History in honor of Global Migratory Bird Day. \nLoncola will return to the museum on Thursday\, Nov. 12\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for Art on Tap\, featuring a panel discussion and an opportunity to explore the ideas\, inspiration\, art and science behind the exhibition. \n“On the Edge of the Pacific” is on view in the museum’s Bird Gallery from Sept. 16\, 2026\, through Jan. 3\, 2027. \nAbout the Artist \nMonica Loncola is a Northern California fine artist and natural science illustrator and a member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI). She holds a BFA in studio arts from Rosemont College in Pennsylvania and completed her Masters Certification in Science Illustration at CSU Monterey Bay. \n“On the Edge of the Pacific” is not Loncola’s first solo museum exhibition. An earlier body of work\, “Architectural Dreams\,” explored the architecture of the Hispanic Caribbean\, predominantly Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, and traveled for five years\, with exhibitions at Museo de la Historia and Museo Castillo Serrallés in Ponce\, as well as the offices of the governor of Puerto Rico in Washington\, D.C.\, and New York City. \nA portion of her current exhibition was previously shown at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center\, operated by NOAA\, in Santa Cruz in July and August 2025. \nHer illustration of a Pacific red salmon was published in a New York Times editorial\, and her oil painting of a purple sea urchin was exhibited at the de Young Museum. \nLoncola is based in Marin County\, California. \nLearn more at monicaloncola.com and follow @monicaloncola.

SUMMARY:Dracula A Comedy Of Terrors
DESCRIPTION:Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a lightning-fast\, laugh-out-loud re-imagining of the classic gothic tale that turns horror on its head. \nThis madcap comedy delivers a fresh\, wildly theatrical twist on Bram Stoker’s classic novel\, packed with quick changes\, clever wordplay\, and nonstop hilarity.\nWhen the mysterious Count Dracula arrives from Transylvania\, his dark intentions are no match for a cast of eccentric characters\, including the determined Jonathan Harker\, the delightfully unhinged Renfield\, and a host of others\, each brought to life in a whirlwind of comedic chaos. With actors dashing between roles and genders\, this story is a high-energy romp full of outrageous surprises and inventive staging. \nPerfect for fans of spooky season fun and over-the-top comedy\, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a theatrical experience equal parts campy\, clever\, and completely unforgettable. Whether you’re here for the thrills or the laughs\, you’re in for a fang-tastic night at the theatre!

SUMMARY:MARTHA SPENCER WITH OTTER OPRY AT MONTEREY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
DESCRIPTION:A beautiful testimonial from Rolling Stone Country kicks us off: “Appalachian music\, through and through\, with all the dynamism of a string band and the longing of a lovelorn country song.” Who could this be? Well\, it’s Martha Spencer – a singer/songwriter\, mountain musician and dancer from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia – and she is the real thing! Once again\, Otter Opry has booked an incredible band to entertain you on Wednesday\, September 23rd\, and it’s guaranteed to be an amazing show.\nMartha grew up in the musical Spencer Family\, and she learned to play several instruments (guitar\, fiddle\, banjo\, bass\, dulcimer\, mandolin) and flatfoot/clog at a young age. The Spencer Family is worth a special mention\, because their music is so well known and highly regarded back in Appalachia. Martha will be traveling to California as part of the Martha Spencer Duo\, a high-energy team that includes Lucas Pasley (fiddle\, banjo\, and vocals) to deliver a toe-tapping\, heartwarming performance you won’t want to miss.\nA final note from The Austin Chronicle: “Rolling from the mountains of Virginia\, Spencer provides an update on the high lonesome sound\, blending equal parts country and bluegrass with a high-flying sensibility.” This will be a very special evening\, and a delicious smoked chicken dinner beforehand ($15 in advance\, $20 after September 19th) will make it even more so. Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance. Tickets will be available at the door.\n7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). www.otteropry.org

SUMMARY:Polly’s Army of One — September 25 & 26
DESCRIPTION:What if the thing you spent your whole life trying to hide turned out to be your greatest superpower? \nGrowing up gay in the 1960s and ’70s\, Polly survived by imagining a world where she could belong. In this funny\, moving and deeply personal solo performance\, award-winning performer and TEDx speaker Patti Dobrowolski transforms into a cast of unforgettable characters—parents\, teachers\, first loves\, unlikely heroes\, and one remarkable wolf—to tell the story of a kid finding the courage to become herself. \nPresented as part of the Central Coast Solo Festival\, Polly’s Army of One is filled with laughter\, tenderness and theatrical magic—and a reminder that sometimes the hardest person to become is the person you were all along.\nAnd after the show? Stay for pie and conversation with Patti in the lobby. \nSeptember 25 & 26\, 7PM at Stanton Theatre in Monterey.
