Bringing you all the news and reviews from Riverside California's concert and nightlife scene

Some pairings just make sense.

Peanut butter and jelly. Dice and dragons. IPA and barbecue.

We stopped by Carbon Nation Brewing and made a very good decision: a fresh, juicy IPA paired with Big G’s BBQ. One bite of that Mac Daddy sandwich and suddenly any plans you had for eating light today are gone.

Carlos from Big G’s is serving up smoky, messy, glorious barbecue, and Carbon Nation is pouring the perfect beers to go with it. Grab some friends, claim a table, order something that requires extra napkins, and make an evening of it.

It’s Friday! Throw caution to the wind and come down, have a couple beers and put Carlos’ delicious meat in your mouth.

Political satire rarely worries about subtlety, and Damian Alejandro Arteaga’s Super Duper Happy Immigrant Funtime Land has no interest in being subtle. Presented as part of Full Circle Players’ Emerging Voices Festival and directed by Steve Llamas, the play embraces absurdity, dark humor, and biting social commentary to examine immigration, assimilation, and the ways marginalized communities are often reduced to stereotypes for commodification and public consumption.

En el Fox Performing Arts Center, las luces se encendieron sobre un escenario que no necesitaba espectáculo para sentirse completo. Cuando José María Napoleón apareció, la reacción fue inmediata y sostenida, un aplauso que no espera a la primera nota para comenzar. Desde ese momento, quedó claro que la noche no se construiría a partir de la producción, sino de la presencia, la memoria y el peso silencioso de una carrera que ha acompañado a varias generaciones.

There’s a special kind of energy that comes with a youth production, and The Little Mermaid Jr. leans fully into it. This production embraces the enthusiasm and commitment of its young cast, creating a performance that is both lively and thoughtfully put together.

There’s always a question hanging over any adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream that removes its language: what happens when you take away the very thing the play is most known for? At the Lewis Family Playhouse, Inland Pacific Ballet answers that question by refusing to treat the absence of dialogue as a limitation. Instead, this production reassigns Shakespeare’s poetry to the body, transforming verse into movement with striking clarity.

Into the Breeches! at Riverside Community Players is not just a wartime comedy about putting on a show. Under the direction of Phillip Gabriel, the production centers on what happens when a group of women take on roles they were never expected to hold and discover they do not need permission to keep them.

There is no subtle way to stage Legally Blonde: The Musical. It lives in bright pinks, heightened emotion, and a world where characters move just a little faster, feel just a little bigger, and express themselves through choreography as much as dialogue. Riverside City College’s production, directed by Jodi Julian, understands that fully, leaning into the show’s stylized energy while still grounding it in performances that feel intentional rather than exaggerated. The result is a production that is, in the best sense of the word, cute, but never shallow.

Legally Blonde runs this weekend so don’t miss out, get your tickets today.
