Residents can enjoy a performance by the Pacifica Spindrift Players, the local community theatre group. If they fancy themselves as thespians, apartment renters might even want to try out for a performance - adults and young people alike are welcome to audition. The group performs revivals of traditional plays and musicals while also offering a sampling of contemporary productions.
