Would you accept a last minute dinner invitation knowing you aren’t the first choice as a guest? Is a hand gun an appropriate item for a disaster preparedness kit? And what’s more important for a performer, earning a living or changing the world?
Learn the answers to these burning questions and more at our sixth annual Tapas New Short Play Festival, Sept 21 through Oct 21. The Tapas crew is cooking up eight smacking good new plays for you at Pegasus Theater Company in Rio Nido.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 4 pm. Opening night includes complimentary champagne and tapas. Admission is $15. The four Fridays after opening night are pay-what-you-can.

Pegasus Theater is finally moving out of New York and into the theater of the black box for Tapas: New Short Play Festival, opening on September 21! They have few things to do to get the theater ready for opening and would love it if you could join them on Saturday, August 25 from noon to 5 pm.
Here’s what’s needed:
- touching up the boxes
- painting the trim on the set walls
- painting the ceiling black (long standing todo)
- anyone who feels comfortable on a ladder to work with lights
- moving any remaining Sister Cities set pieces off the stage and into awaiting trucks
- a volunteer to bring lunch (reimbursement available)

Sister Cities, written by Colette Freedman and directed by Jacquelyn Wells, runs through August 19 at the Rio Nido Lodge.
In this smart “dark” comedy, the half sisters (same mother, but with different fathers) are named after the cities of their birth. Austin has summoned the others to return to their mother’s home after her mysterious death. You can share with a sister like no one else, but you can also fight her like you wouldn’t dare to with a friend. Sparks fly and surprises unfold as they unravel the last days of their mother’s life.
All Saturday and Sunday performances are $15 general admission. For more information or to buy tickets, check out Pegasus Theater’s website.
Join the the Rio Nido Roadhouse for their 5th annual Western Hoedown & BBQ Saturday. Buffalo Billy Mac Band keeps the rock and country music going from 6-10 pm. Show up before 6 pm to get a table and don’t forget to dress in your western gear. The pool will be open until 9 pm and there’ll be games for the kids. $10-$18 at the door.
Stop by the Rio Nido Arts and Crafts Festival August 5 from 10am-3pm. All arts and crafts including literary arts and music will be exhibited. And don’t miss the Rio Nido Homeowner’s Association breakfast from 9am-12pm. Activities take place in the Homeowner’s park on Canyon 7.
Pegasus Theater is looking for volunteers and ongoing support to finish up the year. They have three more shows this season: Sister Cities, Tapas: New Short Play Festival and Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol. They need a team for each production
Here’s how you can help:
- Cast: Come to auditions!
- Support: Be a sound or light technician, stage manager, props person or help build and paint sets at our Saturday work parties
- Front of House: At performances, serve as house manager or staff the box office or concessions stand
- Bakers: Provide cakes, brownies, cookies or other goodies for our concessions stand
Pegasus will provide training or orientation for most of these volunteer positions; and a complimentary ticket to a show.
It takes a village (and a lot of volunteers) to keep our theater going. We think it’s worth the effort.
If you want to help, please contact Nancy Hansen, Artistic Director at nancyhan (at) sonic.net or 707 865 0331.
There are still six more performances to catch Norman, Is That You? Fridays are Pay What You Can. This is a landmark play, one of the first Broadway shows to deal with gay issues openly and with humor. It takes place in the 1970s, a period of conflict and change, when the Stonewall riots had sparked the modern gay rights movement and a surge of gay pride. Norman runs Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm through June 10 at the Rio Nido Lodge.
