We don't want anybody to think there's nothing to do here in Ventura County.

In tomorrow's Arts & Living section and in the Time Out section, we're full of places to go and things to do.

In Arts & Living, staff writer Brett Johnson tells the moving story of Christopher Fielder, who plays the lead in the Ventura College production of "Cabaret." Fielder is channeling a personal tragedy into his performance, which opens Friday. You'll want to read Brett's story.

That section will also have a review of the Thousand Oaks' production of "Forever Plaid" by our art critic Rita Moran. We also will tell you about a long list of other events from the American Big Band concert in Oxnard next week to the De Colores Art Show, also in Oxnard, to a poetry event wiht U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins down at UCLA.

Time Out features another story by Brett Johnson. This one is an interview with Phil Hendrie. He used to work for Ventura radio stations and has moved on with a career that has now taken him to NBC-TV where he is co-starring in their new comedy, "Teachers."
