“I Am My Own Wife” Acclaimed drama debuts at CV Rep Theatre, in Rancho Mirage, California through March 27, 2016 By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Personal stories are always powerful, inspirational and complex, as are we the humans upon which they’re based. We are not perfect, but we all strive, or should, for reaching our full potential as humans
and all that this implies. Movies and television have the director as auteur along with an army of technicians. The live stage, however, is the medium and province of the actor. Grand and significant ideas come alive when performed by live actors. The connection between actor and audience is instantaneous. It can be both breathtaking and mesmerizing; it is often
transformative on the part of the audience. Those are powerful components that make an evening spent in the theatre well worth the effort. CV REP Artistic Director and founder Ron Celona once again brings a potent and compelling production to Rancho Mirage audiences. This time it’s a production of playwright Doug Wright’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony
Story and Photos by Pat Krause The 6th Annual Warburton Celebrity Golf, Music, Run event was held at the JW Marriott Desert Springs & Classic Club golf course. They started with a 5K run over the weekend. This is a 4-day event that includes a party with Songwriters and a dinner on Thursday night the 10th. A pairings Party on Friday the 11th includes the pairings and another dinner. Later on Friday night, the 11th was the Celebrity Jam Session that is really a Jam Session. The Jam is an intimate setting where guests can get close to the stage to see all their favorite singers
and musicians. The party gets rocking early with the Sixwire Band starting off the JAM. This event has taken on a new mantle where participants can run, play golf, have several dinners, attend a songwriters party, a JAM session of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Musicians and attend a Gala with more celebrity entertainment and get up close and personal with the celebrities. And all this while supporting and benefitting a worthwhile charity like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Patrick Warburton and Clarke Rheney have made this a first class event in the Desert. Over a dozen board members
helped put this classy event on for 6 years that continues to grow each year. The entertainers at the JAM were singers, Dave Brock, Kim Carnes, Micky Dolenz-The Monkees, John Elefante-Kansas, Robin MeadTV host, Jesse Valenzuela and Robin Williams-Gin Blossoms accompanied by Sixwire thru the entire night.

Award-winning drama “I Am My Own Wife”, performed by gifted New York Citybased actor Vince Gatton. Gatton portrays a mindblowing 35 characters in a brilliant tour de force performance, speaking and translating as he goes in English, German, and French. It’s an astonishing accomplishment by an actor. Playwright Doug Wright,
when asked why he chose to craft his play about Germany’s famous transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, along with her memories, diaries and comments from others during the German Weimar days, says that it is only fitting for a single actor to play all 35 roles. His ‘raison d’etre’ reply was “Charlotte had to adopt Continues on Page 7

History in Granite a Monumental Success
Arriving at the Museum of History in Granite in Felicity, CA. Image by Timmy Shulman Woods By Pam Price Visiting the Museum of History in Granite in the extraordinary town of Felicity,
CA in Imperial County, off Interstate 8 at Exit 164 just a few miles from Yuma, AZ is paradise for history fans.
Founded by Jacques - Andre and Felicia Istel, the museum was officially “created by law in March 1986.” There’s no front door and there are no galleries requiring security guards. This is a museum unlike any other in America, size and content wise. And it is worth the drive, no matter where you began your journey. Don’t look for neon lights; the museum is more a mirage rising from the sand dunes. Look up! A 25 foot high sculpture marks the entrance; you have arrived at a museum home to 467 granite “panels” , the rectangular shaped weigh 477 lbs., the triangular, 351 lbs. When you see one of the largest souvenirs of the Eiffel Tower, Mr. Istel explained it is actually part of a stairway from the original Eiffel Tower. This unique welcome to a museum celebrating world history with every footstep. And it starts when you enter a pyramid which Mr. Istel says symbolizes “The Center of the Universe”. A tour guide is on hand to explain the mystery. “ Mr. Istel presents his unconventional chronicle of history bigger than life,” said photographer Timmy
Shulman Woods as she captured the engraved and etched granite monuments. “This is the most monumental library I’ve ever seen, there’s nothing to compare it to,” she remarked as she carefully read monuments from conventional coverage such as “The Mayflower and the Plymouth Colony “ to “From the Annals of Crime in America” and “Coping with Terrorism”. The granite “pages” are impressive in diversity and dramatic in design. We met visitors from Ireland, France and China during our tour, our tour guide was from New Hampshire. “The educational value of The Museum of History in Granite leaves an impression on students,” remarked a high school history teacher during our informal tour. “This exhibit goes beyond a textbook. The dedication of the History of California opens on March 19th , Saturday with a full day of activities.” According to Mr. Istel a granite monument will presented to The State of California The Museum of History Granite has a “monumental” event planned for this special day starting at 10 AM with a “Service
of Remembrance” followed by a live demonstration , Pioneers of Parachuting, from 11 AM to 3 PM. The 4 PM dedication of the Granite Monument, History of California follows. History buffs will find the entire day, which concludes with The Great California Cake Fest benefitting the Imperial Valley and Yuma, AZ Food Banks follows at 4:30 PM a historical journey in itself. “The 100 foot granite monuments are designed to last 4,000 years,” said Mr. Istel adding the Museum is now an official candidate as a World Heritage Site. The eclectic monuments present a dramatic revue of history, created and curate with pages in granite. Mr. Istel refers to his latest eighteen monuments, Literacy for the Millennia, justifiably, with pride.

The guests were told to head to the Museum’s Annenberg Theatre to see a fun filled cabaret style performance with singers and violinists. Gary Hall and Gary Schahet said that their co-chairs were Barbara and Gene Berlanti, Jerry Green and Phyllis Schahet and it took a lot of donors, underwriters and volunteers to put on this Extravaganza Style Gala. John Barrowman took to the stage singing some of his favorite songs. He said he loved the Desert so much he bought 3 homes here, one for his parents that were in the audience. He does a lot of performing in the UK and is known here for Arrow and Torchwood shows. Barrowman brought Broadway star Sally
Ann Triplett on stage for a duet before she sang a few songs solo. The other performers were, Wellstrung, which is made up of 3 violinists and a cello player that sing and play in a unique style. The audience loved each and every performance. The guests were ushered upstairs into the main lobby area for an elegant dinner. The table decorations and the cloth draped ceiling and walls were beautifully done. The food was prepared so grand that you almost didn’t want to destroy the beauty by eating it. This fairytale evening is one to remember. A special Celebrity guest for the night was the famous Minnie Driver. Dancing followed this spectacular dinner for a magical night in Wonderland. They announced they had raised over $750,000 to support all the Museum’s programs.

E N T E RTA I N M E N T “BLOOD” - Japanese Tainted Blood Scandal - A Comedic Political Thril er With Music BY BEVERLY COHN
The ensemble as the Ministers of Japan. Photo by Ed Krieger After sitting through some unsatisfying evenings of theatre, every once in a while I see a production that leaves me emotionally moved, reminding me of why I love the potential magic of theatre. Last year it was the stunning production of “Spring Awakening” by Deaf West Theatre, which went on to New York. Right up there is the brilliant production of the world premiere of “BLOOD,” produced by the newly formed company, The Garage, and currently on stage at The Complex. Award-winning director extraordinaire Robert Allan Ackerman collaborated with a group of very talented young actors, work shopping the source material, which evolved into this riveting, highly stylized political thriller with fabulous original music and songs by Nick Ackerman and Chris Cester. The sound design by Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski often is a comedic counterbalance to the unfolding drama. The story, part fact
and part fiction, revolves around a scandal in Japan that most Americans never heard of. In the early 1980s an American pharmaceutical company knowingly sold HIV infected blood to Japan with instructions to heat the blood, which would supposedly destroy the virus. The Ministry of Health claimed that Japanese blood was immune to the virus and refused to issue orders to heat the blood. Subsequently, it was distributed to many hospitals, causing the deaths of 2,000 people, predominantly hemophiliacs, who contracted AIDS. The play begins in the tradition of Kubuki Theatre, where the rapid clapping of two hardwood sticks called clappers,(hyoshigi) played by Taishin Takibayashi, signals the start of the play. They were sounded again at the beginning of Act II. We are introduced to a Jewish-American free-lance journalist named Jules, well played by Alexa Hamilton, who has returned to Japan following the death of her nine-year-old
Toshi Toda as Dr. Kazama, head of the Ministry of Health with his wife, played by Mika Santoh. Photo by Ed Krieger

secretly help them tell the truth about all the deaths. As time goes by, Koyo Ninomiya, a nine-year-old boy played by a female (Miho Ando) contracts AIDS and thinking that his illness is a death sentence, he just wants an apology from the government for what it did to him. The performance of this young woman as an AIDS victim is quite stirring.* After years of stonewalling by Dr. Kazama, head of the Ministry of Health, played by a fascinating Toshi Toda, he finally humbles himself and gives the young man the apology he has been seeking. Lest you think this is a “heavy” play, the creative staging by Ackerman results in an entertaining interpretation son Noah who was killed in a of a difficult subject. For freak car accident. She is good example, in between the friends with a former student straight serious narrative, named Ken (Takuma Anzai) there are superb production who becomes ill following numbers, incorporating various a series of transfusions and styles of theatre, which are
are most amusing. Some of the songs performed by the ensemble include, “Japan/ America,” “We Ain’t Got AIDS in Japan,” “We’re the Ministers of Nippon,” and “Caught With Fingers in the Jar.” In keeping with his vision and staying within a very limited budget, Ackerman’s technical team, working within the confines of a small space, put together more than adequate visual elements. Three red screens are moved around the stage to create a different location and also service the haunting projection design by Hana S. Kim, including some powerful special effects. Wendell C. Carmichael clothed some of the actors in fabulous authentic Kabuki costumes, while Donny Jackson blanketed the stage with glorious colors. Special kudos to design consultant Dona Granata and vocal coach Bob Garrett, whose musical work with

The hospital, which has assigned numbers instead of names to their HIV patients, refuses to do an autopsy, which sets in motion her pursuit of the truth of what killed her young friend. Even as more and more people begin to die from AIDS, none of the victims’ families come forward. They are ashamed and don’t want to cause any trouble. There is also the inherent respect for authorities, which further impacts on their reluctance to confront the government’s decision to not purify the blood. Deaths are spreading throughout the country and hospitals are involved in the cover-up. Eventually, Yoji Kurosawa a young Korean attorney, nicely portrayed by Sohee Park, reluctantly begins to work with Jules. They enlist the assistance of Eiko Asami, sensitively portrayed by Kazumi Aihara. She is a nurse in one of the hospitals and although her safety is at risk, agrees to March 18, 2016
perfectly executed by this gifted ensemble. There are musical jokes with some lyrics spoken in rhyme. The director’s comprehensive understanding of theatricality equipped him to incorporate different genres from Rap and Kabuki, to the frenetic movements of the Keystone Cops, the Marx Brothers, and moments straight out of Gilbert & Sullivan. In the hands of a less skilled director, it could have resulted in a series of disconnected scenes, but instead, the varieties of styles seamlessly blend between harsh reality and satire. The rest of this amazing ensemble includes Mika Santoh, who, wearing a traditional kimono, plays the devoted, caring wife of Dr. Kazama. Other members, each of who play multiple roles, including the zany singing and dancing ministers, are Michael Joseph, Anthony Gros, Takaaki Hirakawa, Andrew Nakajima, and Daryl L. Padilla whose rubber facial expressions
the actors achieved a highly professional performance. This profound subject matter in the hands of a less skilled director and ensemble could be in danger of becoming diatribe, which is not theatrically interesting. Instead, Ackerman and his company have created an evening of unforgettable theatre and in my opinion, this production should be Broadway bound. *This character is based on a real person who actually survived AIDS and is now a minister in the Japanese Parliament.

Stephen Louis Grush and Rebecca Pidgeon. Photo by Michael Lamont. “Sex With Strangers,” written by Laura Eason, is set in a bed and breakfast in rural Michigan in Act I, and in Olivia’s Chicago apartment in Act II. As the play opens Olivia (Rebecca Pidgeon) is curled up on the couch reading proof sheets of her latest manuscript. This marks her second book, which may never be published because she is still shell shocked from the critical reception for her first novel She is totally snowed-in; in the now deserted B & B. Suddenly, her silent world is jarred by the sounds of a car pulling up in the driveway, followed by a loud knock at the front door. At this point Ethan (Stephen Louis Grush) enters the scene. He is a brash young writer who, it turns out, is doing very well writing about his constant sexual exploits with women he picks up in bars each and every week. He then graphically details his brief, steamy encounters on the Internet. Classy, no, but successful-yes. In fact his book, based on his sexual prowess, is being made into a movie.
He is younger and far less polished than the educated, somewhat prim Olivia, but, it turns out, he has something to offer her besides his body. It turns out that Ethan. A fan of Olivia’s failed first novel, wants her to publish it again, using a new name and a new book jacket. He is certain, with his help; she will gain the literary following and fame her unique, elegant style deserves. As Act I progresses he also tries to convince her to let him read her newest manuscript. He is certain he can restart her career using his digital age skills and his agent Act one, like a romance novel, has plenty of sexual forays (tastefully done) and many trips to the bedroom. This coupling is coupled with conversations about writing, marketing and the importance of reaching out to the world with one‘s writing talents. But who is Ethan anyway? Is there more to him than his sexual blogs? And will Olivia face rejection yet again due to his seductive persuasion? What is most interesting about Eason’s play is the
Venus Williams Story and Photos by Pat Krause BNP Paribas Tennis Championship waited 15 years for the return of Venus and Serena Williams together. Serena Williams returned last year to a very welcoming crowd that made her feel like coming back again this year. Serena had to quit early last year because of an injury but came back this year to try to get another win here. Venus came back because of the welcome Serena got last year. I am sure she was also apprehensive about the return after so many years. Venus was welcomed with cheers and clapping and she looked like she was so happy as she put her hands on her heart in response to the cheers and waved to www.desertstarweekly.com
chance to learn more about who each character really is in their own mind. Is Olivia more than a timid writer unable to face rejection? Would she rather face obscurity rather than possible failure. And is the brash sensual Ethan capable of writing a novel of substance? Is he more than the lowbrow lover he projects on line in his crass, but successful blog? And is there is a future for this odd couple? The first act seems overly long and the set changes could use more innovation as we shift from the B & B in Michigan to Olivia‘s Chicago digs. The couch, for example, would have looked different with a colorful spread and pillows as well as different floor lamp. The set changes, as of now, are kind of like déjà vu all over again.. “Sex With Strangers,: at the Geffen Playhouse, 10866Le Conte Ave, Los Angeles (Westwood). Ends April 10.

The rain wasn’t very heavy but it took almost an hour to dry the court for play. This probably took the momentum away from the match. Friday Night was the Salute to our troops and starts before

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000004891719.

The playwright’s message or personal point of view it’s also meant to get the audience to think introspectively. The beauty
of theatre is that it allows for ‘what if’ scenarios for audiences, playwrights, and actors alike. This production is a true ensemble effort mirroring the name of the acting company – Desert Ensemble Theatre. “Endangered Species, directed Tony Padilla performs at the Pearl McManus Theatre, in the Palm Springs Woman’s Club located at 314 S.
