The band will perform in the giant back lounge, which has a stage, lights and PA system. With plenty of tables, chairs and a large dance floor it’s a perfect venue for live music and dancing. There is also a pool table back there. Even better, there’s no cover and parking is free.

Mainstream serves dinner until 9:30 p.m., and appetizers until the band stops playing. There is a full bar with plenty of microbrews on tap, wines and spirits, and a separate restaurant/bar area.
SR Theatre presents ‘Outside Mullingar’
“Outside Mullingar” is a play involving four characters in the Irish countryside. Scripps Ranch Theatre is presenting this production on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Feb. 18.
“It involves two families: A father and son who live on a farm, and a mother and daughter who live on an adjacent farm,” explained director Kathy Brombacher.
Part of the story is about a land feud, but the biggest part of the story is the romantic attraction between one family’s daughter and the other family’s son.
“Outside Mullingar” runs on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Feb. 18 in the Legler Benbough Theatre on the Alliant International University campus, 9783 Avenue of Nations. Visit scrippsranchtheatre.org.
Celebrate Chinese New Year
Scripps Ranch residents Bill and Cynthia Collins, owners of Collins Family Jewelers, will host a Chinese New Year celebration at their store, 8220-A Mira Mesa Blvd. (near Marshalls), featuring lion dancing on Feb. 10. The public is invited to attend.
Part of this event includes a large, colorful costume lion running through their jewelry store. Up to three lions are expected. A troupe of high school-aged performers will be inside the costumes. Others will perform on drums and some will perform martial arts demonstrations.
Following the lion dancing through the store, and the fire crackers, the group will present the Collins family with a banner for the new year. Youngsters can also feed the lions. Red envelopes will be available for attendees who want to make monetary donations to the troupe. They can place a few dollars in the envelopes and place them in the mouth of a lion.
The Chinese New Year celebration at Collins Family Jewelers will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10.
