Saving The Foothills

Join us for a powerful afternoon of live music and storytelling at The Marjorie Luke Theatre. Enjoy an original musical performance by acclaimed local composer and filmmaker Cody Westheimer and friends, followed by a screening of his inspiring documentary.

This captivating film tells the true story of a passionate, community-led movement that successfully protected 100 acres of the West Mesa of the San Marcos Foothills from development. Witness how ordinary citizens came together to defend a cherished natural space—and won.

This film is part of our 2025 Green Film Series.
