Presenting a selection of artworks spanning two decades, the exhibition captures the evolution of González Palma’s work from formal portraiture and tableaux to his most recent explorations in abstraction, inviting viewers to experience a new way of seeing and feeling. 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays at SDSU Downtown Gallery, 725 West Broadway.

‘Going to a Place Where You Already Are’
Is there a heaven? Joe says no; it’s all a bunch of hokum. His wife, Roberta, has always claimed to agree. But lately she’s beginning to wonder, especially when they find themselves in church a lot, having reached the age when funerals are more frequent than weddings. Their granddaughter, Ellie, doesn’t have time in her own busy life to ponder the afterlife. But when mortality confronts them, her grandmother’s claim to have gone to heaven and back doesn’t sound so crazy after all. With thoughtful storytelling and quiet wit, Brunstetter looks at beginnings, endings — and an enigmatic angel. OnStage Playhouse’s latest production plays from Jan. 17-Feb. 16. Tickets start at $25. Written by Bekah Brunstetter; directed by Hannah Logan. 291 Third Ave., Chula Vista, 91910.
