NATURE
The Chaparral, the tangled assort- ment of low-growing, drought-resis- tant, native shrubs covering most of San Diego County’s lower mountain slopes, has managed to remain fairly attractive this summer. Unlike many of the scrubby natives near the coast, chaparral plants tend to hang on to their leaves year-round. This month, the coppery, sun-burnished remnants of last spring’s flower clusters are still clinging to the tips of buckwheat and chamise plants. To enjoy the beauty of the chaparral landscape, explore the hillsides above Lake Morena and along Lyons Valley, Japatul, and Boul- der Creek roads in East County. Or head inland from Escondido toward Ramona or Valley Center. Most of these areas have been swept by one wildfire or another over the past sev- eral years, but the native vegetation is gradually returning.

Avenue Q This “adult musical” is a look at life in New York featuring a cast of both people and puppets. In its Broadway debut, Avenue Q scored the “triple crown” of Tony wins, grabbing honors for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book. While the show draws inspiration from a certain beloved children’s show, you’ll want to leave the kids at home for this one — there’s even “full puppet nudity.” The story is about a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and a purpose in life. Thursday, September 1, 8pm; Friday, Septem- ber 2, 8pm; Saturday, September 3, 8pm; Sunday, September 4, 1pm; $25.
