Temple of the Dad to rock out, aid local schools Temple of the Dad, the rocking band of fathers which frequently play gigs to aid fund-strapped school music programs around the Peninsula area will again be center stage for another fundraiser. The band, whose children attend school in Ocean Beach and Point Loma, will play at Humphrey’s Backstage Lounge from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on April 9 to raise money for music programs at Correia and Dana middle schools. Band member Kerry McKay said Temple of the Dad, which was formed four years ago, hopes to raise $2,000 during the latest fundraiser. Last year, the band raised about $1,500 during a Music4Music fundraising event for Correia. This year, organizers are asking for a voluntary $10 donation at the door and the event will feature music, happy-hour prices with drinks and food half-off that night. Humphrey’s is located at 2241 Shelter Island Drive. For more information, call (619) 993-8397 or visit the band on Facebook at Facebook/Temple of the Dad. Westminster Theatre sets two one-act plays Westminster Theatre’s Vanguard Ministries will soon be performing a politically-based production “Two for Tonight” — two one-act plays: The plays are “The Atom and Eve” by Point Loma author Robert Landis, directed by Rob Hoadley, and “Bury The Dead,” by Irwin Shaw, directed by Tom Haine. In “The Atom and Eve,” the year is 2021. The world is an increasingly dangerous and explosive one. The U.S. Senate has, under consideration, a revolutionary initiative, which would transform international relationships forever. Sen. Eve Baldwin faces the most important vote of a lifetime and struggles through a titanic battle of pros and cons. “Bury the Dead,” written in 1936, was Shaw’s first play. It turns upside down the rules of the life-and-death game. Through surprising dialogue, visitors will learn some of the most personal and intimate thoughts of the un-dead. The dates of the production are March 25-27 and April 1-3, followed by April 8-10. The performances take place at Westminster Theater, 3598 Talbot St. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, military and students.
