February: The month of love.
Bah, you say if you're feeling unlucky in the land of hearts and flowers.
February isn't just about Valentine's Day of course. Nowadays it's about the Super Bowl too, whether you're in it for the football, the party, the mega-commercials or some combination thereof.
There are so many events this month, right here in Coronado, for you to enjoy, from restaurant specials to 10K races and, in the coming week, a solid opportunity to support the arts. Both local theater companies have musicals ready to go, along with another production by the community's School of the Arts.
So ready for a busy February? Here's a sampling of what you can look forward to, with links to the event details:

: Lamb's Players opens its season Friday with previews of another Broadway classic, inspired by the street patois fashioned by Damon Runyon. The formal opening is Feb. 10.
