We are pleased to share that Isabel is expected to make a full recovery, and we wish her all the best as she focuses on her health. Her film, On A String, will be presented as scheduled on Wednesday, July 15 at 2:00 PM at the Palm Theater, with no changes to that event. The Stand-Up Comedy evening originally featuring Isabel Hagen will also take place as planned, on Wednesday, July 15 at 7:30 PM at the Palm Theater, with an exciting new lineup of performers that celebrates the unique blend of music and comedy that makes Festival Mozaic so special. We are delighted to welcome Trent Babb, one of San Luis Obispo County's favorite comedians, to open the evening. A shameless goofball with more than a decade of experience, Trent has entertained audiences throughout the Central Coast with his quick wit and infectious energy. Next, Festival Mozaic favorite Alexander Hersh will take the stage, combining exceptional cello playing with hilarious stories and personal anecdotes in a performance that is equal parts virtuosity and comedy. The evening concludes with acclaimed flutist Alice Dade, who was originally scheduled to open for Isabel Hagen. Alice's sharp comic timing, engaging storytelling, and extraordinary musicianship promise to end the night on a high note. Presented in collaboration with the SLO International Film Festival.
