By Desert Star Staff Rancho Mirage, CA– Lots of exciting live theatre events are happening at The Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre (CVRep) all summer long including, Actress/playwright, Kres Mersky’s, The Life and Times of A. Einstein, a soloperformance play written and soon to be performed by Ms. Mersky at The Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre (CVRep) from July 21-23, 2017.

Directed by Paul Gersten, The Life and Times of A. Einstein is an off-beat comedy about a day in the life of the great scientist as seen through the eyes of his longtime “secretary/watchdog.” The

play features one character on stage, and that character is not Albert Einstein. It is rather Ellen Shoenhammer, his secretary, portrayed by playwright/ performer Kres Mersky. Ellen, is more than Mr. Einstein’s secretary. She is his chauffeur, his bodyguard, and a liaison to the media, protecting his public image from scandal, and generally managing all of his business affairs.

The play takes place on Albert Einstein’s birthday.

There’s a press conference for him, and he’s been unavoidably detained. Ellen, forced to address the reporters (who

The Power of Quantum Physics and Love

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic What are the odds of a play whose premise is underpinned with quantum physics, bees, and the seductive power of love that brings two disparate souls together turning the result into a riveting evening of intellectual theatre? Pretty slim, I’d say.

And then I saw the play.

“Constellations”, a poignant drama written by British playwright Nick Payne, is deftly staged by awardwinning director Giovanna Sardelli that validates the acting gifts of its two stars: pixie-like Ginnifer Goodwin and handsome leading man Allen Leech (best known for his six year run in the TV blockbuster series “Downton Abbey”, as the family chauffeur).

Two handers – plays that have just two characters are becoming more popular these days in the age of budget restrictions, except for musicals. These production caveats now place the burden of entertaining the audience squarely on the talent of playwrights, performers and directors, without the benefits of all the bells and whistles of money infused and promotiondriven productions. Most of the time bold, creative, artists pull off the delicate balance of engaging and entertaining the audience at the same time (last year I reviewed the winning two hander “Heisenberg”, in New York, which opened today with the original NY cast at the Mark Taper Forum).

“Constellations”, the play now on stage at the Geffen Playhouse, in LA is another good example of insightful writing in the hands of a stellar director and her two star performers. The compelling story of Marianne (Ginnifer Goodwin), a quirky, Cambridge University academic, who specializes in in Quantum Physics, and Roland (Allen Leech), a noncollege educated bee keeper, who meet at a Bar-B-Que party at the home of friends would seem implausible in a traditional play. In this dramedy of sorts, both are shy guests and tend to stay in the background to observe the other guests.

From the moment the stage lights come up, the opening dialogue is repeated

several times. The same words, only with different emphasis and timing leading one to think that a stage glitch had just occurred.

No. The repetitive dialogue in intentional. Marianne, we discover, lives in several alternate parallel universes.

If the play was meant to be read, not performed, the dialogue would come across as a classic quantum physics theoretical essay, except that it’s being performed by live actors on a stage. The obscure world of quantum physics is the world that Marianne inhabits. Roland is a creature of the outdoors and nature, and he is clueless as to quantum physics, but nevertheless, is strangely drawn into this odd coupling and its relationship. As Marianne and Roland are two lonely people, could love be in the air? You bet it is. Remember it’s the most powerful force on our planet.

The set design by Takeshi Kata envelops the actors in a way that lends credence to the parallel universe concept.

Goodwin and Leech perform in front of a huge ‘cyc’ that displays the cosmos with twinkling stars and planets, and their parallel universe moments are cued by the dialogue. With so many stars and planets, each possibly, with a story of their own to tell.

There are as many choices in life as there stars is in our universe is the message that playwright Payne is selling. Who knows? Our life journeys are all about making multiple choices. The “what if” factor is real constant that has to be considered.

Director Sardelli skillfully and seamlessly navigates some tricky waters in doing justice to playwright Payne’s murky, but compelling tale of love of among the mis-matched quirky set as viewed through the lens of quantum physics.

The real beauty to this intriguing and poignant production lies in the hands of its two stars, their onstage chemistry and in their stunning ‘in-themoment’ performances.

There are some spoiler alert moments, but you will not get them from me. You will just have to come to the Geffen Playhouse and see for yourself. Enough cannot

simply defined;… slow growth along with high inflation.

Stagflation is typically bad for the stock market. When lenders to the U.S. quit lending, governments most likely will first respond with spending cuts and higher tax rates (or taxing things that never were taxed before). In response, taxpayers will shelter income by doing less of the activity being taxed, moving funds offshore to lowertax jurisdictions, or searching for loopholes. Typically, the revenue raised will fall short of projections, so governments will turn to monetizing the debt by expanding the money supply--which can bring on higher inflation.

It appears that the coming period of stagflation, is a result of the overprinting of the money, our monetary policy, QE1, QE2.

QE3, & QE4, which is referred to as Quantitative easing (QE).

It is a monetary policy in which a central bank creates new electronic money in order to buy government bonds or other financial assets to stimulate the economy. It leads to increase private-sector spending and should return inflation to its target. This lending from the Central banks, has increased the U.S. debt to 23 Trillion dollars, Combine this with two oil supply shocks, along with dollar devaluation and deficit spending and this combination can bring on Stagflation. We are facing a new frontier for America’s economy. Labor markets could tighten, while home prices may get too

expensive for many to afford.

The Peak in our economic may be occurring now. The result of these conditions tell us that “recession risk” is rapidly rising.

Governments throughout the world have spent more than the tax revenues they collect, accumulating debt that has risen to levels much higher than their countries’ Gross Domestic Product (GDPs). Each 50% increase in a nation’s debt-toGDP ratio lowers economic growth by more than 1% per year. When debt levels are no longer affordable, lenders shut their wallets and they stop lending. Governments then must throw spending and taxation into a sudden reverse, (cutting spending and increasing taxes), which often can stifle a recovery or bring on a depression.

The end of the great bull market is looming.

One must scale back on “return expectations” and take less risk with investments. For those who are approaching retirement, they should turn from a growth focus to an income focus; not only due to their own needs, but also due to the realities of the new normal.

Boycotts Over ‘Religious Freedom’ Bills Could Cost Texas Billions

By Desert Star Staff AUSTIN, Texas -- The predicted economic backlash against Texas has begun in protest of the state’s new laws that allow discrimination in the name of religious freedom.

Last week, California banned official travel to Texas by state employees in response to a Texas state law allowing foster care and adoption agencies to disqualify LGBTQ families for “sincerely held religious beliefs.” Dozens of other states and groups say they’re also considering economic boycotts.

Dan Quinn, communications director with the Texas Freedom Network, said the sanctions should come as no surprise to the lawmakers who advocate for “religious freedom” bills that discriminate.

“It’s not like folks weren’t warning that this would happen before legislators gave this special protection to adoption and foster care

agencies that discriminate,” Quinn said. “But now they want to double down on all this in the special session with this ridiculous bathroom bill.”

He is referring to a controversial bill coming up in July to regulate which restrooms transgender people can use.

In the regular session, lawmakers passed an antisanctuary cities bill allowing police to ask people in custody about their immigration status.

Hispanic groups claim it will lead to racial profiling.

Quinn said he believes conservative Republicans are pushing such measures as a form of “political theater,” which he warned could have an unhappy ending for Texas.

“What they are proposing here solves no problem; there is no problem. So, the only reason they’re doing this is for political reasons,” he said. “What we’re really seeing here is this slow motion economic train wreck, and

Calif. Attorney General Xavier Becerra issued a ban on state employee travel to Texas, with Texas’ new state law legalizing discrimination against LGBTQ families in adoptions. (Angerer/GettyImages) the special session could turn that into a full-on disaster.”

Quinn said a study by business leaders found an organized boycott could cost Texas more than $8 billion and 35,000 jobs. The state also could lose business

from conventions, tourism and sports leagues like the NCAA, the NBA and the NFL. “Once you get beyond the moral problem with it, you have the economic problem with it,” Quinn said. “At that point, you do begin to wonder,

‘Will this register with them?

Do they see this as a big problem with leaders?’”

Other states - including Alabama, North Carolina and South Dakota - have seen economic hits from boycotts after passing similar legislation.

energy when possible, installing solar panels on municipal buildings, redesigning more walkable neighborhoods, and promoting mass transit.

Ortis says Pembroke Pines is focused on holding rising waters at bay.

“We’ve got to make sure that we have adequate drainage; we’ve got to get infrastructure needs for our aging sewers; we need to have LEED-certified buildings to make sure that we don’t have emissions,” he adds.

“All cities are doing that, and we need to do that.”

Mayors at the conference also discussed the importance of saving the Community Development Block Grants, a program that pumps about $3 billion a year into cities and towns. President Donald Trump has proposed zeroing out its funding.

billion tax cut for health insurers, drug companies and the wealthy,” he adds.

The BCRA faces an uphill battle, though, as multiple Republican Senators have already announced their opposition. At this point, the bill is set for a vote next Thursday. If it passes the Senate, House leaders have said they want to vote on it before the July 4 recess, when lawmakers go back to their districts.

FL Leaders Push for Climate Action at Mayors’ Conference in Miami Beach

By Desert Star Staff MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – If the federal government won’t take the lead on climate change - local cities will. That’s the message from the U.S. Conference

of Mayors, wrapping up today in Miami Beach.

Hundreds of mayors from across the U.S., including more than a dozen from Florida, swapped ideas on many topics, including how to reduce

their cities’ carbon footprint.

Mayor Frank Ortis of Pembroke Pines, which borders the Everglades, says Floridians see that the effects of climate change are very real, especially for low-lying

areas of south Florida.

“If the federal government doesn’t want to do it, we’re certainly going to do it,” he says. “Our residents need protection. In Miami Beach, they’ve done this huge project about raising the streets because of water intrusion, and having new sewers and pumps. I kind of believe that, in the years to come, the Florida peninsula may be underwater.”

President Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change last month.

A new Sierra Club study says if the 1,400 cities belonging to the U.S. Conference of Mayors were to reach 100-percent renewable energy targets by 2025, the U.S. would come close to meeting its goals under the Paris agreement.

Now, cities large and small are purchasing electric vehicles and buses, buying renewable

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Health advocates warn the Senate GOP bill to repeal and replace Obamacare would cause millions of Californians to lose their healthcare - by phasing out the Medicaid expansion and then capping the program altogether.

The Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) lifts the government mandate for people to have insurance, and lets states allow insurance policies that

exclude services like maternity and mental-health care.

Anthony Wright, executive director of the nonprofit group Health Access California, says the bill would harm many different groups.

“It still eliminates the Medicaid expansion that 4 million Californians depend on,” he says. “But it also has a harsher cap on the entire program, which 14 million Californians depend on - including a third of the state, half of all children,

and two-thirds of all nursing-home residents.”

The Senate bill also lets insurance companies charge Americans ages 50 to 64 five times what younger people pay, compared to the current limit of three times. And it lifts a ban on charging much higher premiums to people with preexisting conditions.

Supporters of the BCRA say it will reduce the federal deficit and give people access to lower-cost plans that cover fewer health benefits.

The Congressional Budget Office said the House version of the healthcare overhaul would cause 23 million Americans to lose their insurance over the next 10 years - its analysis of the new bill is expected on Monday.

Wright predicts the Senate version will decrease access to healthcare on a similar scale.

“From just a pure numbers point of view, this is an over $800 billion cut to Medicaid to fund a $900

GOP Health Plan: Devastating for Nebraska Women’s Health?

By Desert Star Staff LINCOLN, Neb. – After weeks of closed-door meetings, Senate Republicans released their legislation last week to repeal Obamacare.

GOP leaders claim the plan will stabilize insurance markets, remove mandates and provide flexibility for states.

But Janele George, director of federal reproductive health with the National Women’s Law Center, disagrees. She argues the plan drastically cuts Medicaid, defunds women’s health centers and denies abortion coverage to those who get their insurance through the health exchanges, or who receive tax subsidies.

“By devastating the Medicaid program, taking away the ability of folks to access services at Planned Parenthood, making the essential health benefits optional, it would put affordable health care out of reach for many individuals and families,” she says.

George adds that millions of Medicaid enrollees would not be able to access critical

services, including birth control, cancer screenings, and testing and treatment for sexually-transmitted diseases.

Nebraska Republican Senators Ben Sasse and Deb Fischer have not commented on the legislation, which could be voted on this week.

Medicaid currently covers about half of all births and accounts for threequarters of all public dollars spent on family planning.

Adam Sanfield, the senior policy manager with the Guttmacher Institute, says family-planning services are critical for long-term health by helping women plan for children and avoid unintended pregnancies.

“We know that’s important from a health point of view because pregnancy spacing helps to avoid pre-term and low-birthweight births,” he says. “It helps people to prepare for their pregnancies, so that they can become healthy before they get pregnant and get chronic conditions under control.”

George notes she’s also concerned because the bill

Medical experts say family-planning services help women plan for children and avoid unintended pregnancy.

(Pixabay) allows what is known as “1332 waivers,” under which states could make changes to the essential health benefits insurers now must cover.

“Including maternity services and preventive services,” George adds. “Not only is this bill stripping that away for folks who are covered under Medicaid expansion, but

under the 1332 waivers, we could see other folks have their health care impacted as well.”

On the private insurance side, Sanfield adds there would be massive cuts to subsidies that make coverage affordable for some people who have to buy insurance on their own rather than through an employer.

“In ways that will make it a lot harder for particularly low-income people to be able to afford to buy that coverage, and then to be able to afford to use that coverage, because they’ll have plans that include really high deductibles and really high copayments,” Sanfield laments.

bill to repeal the ACA now being debated in the Senate.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito has said she intends to defend funding for substance abuse treatment, but has not said how she plans to vote on the legislation.

In the House bill, known as the American Health Care Act, Medicaid funding would be slashed by 25 percent over ten years. The Senate bill would take longer, but it uses a formula most expect would actually result in deeper cuts.

Unless a specific provision for substance abuse treatment is added, it’s likely those cuts would force states to end Medicaid support for Suboxone clinics like the one Bailey goes to.

“The Suboxone program saved my life. And if they take

this part of the healthcare out and I lose my treatment, there is a big uncertainty in my future,” she said.

Bailey said most people have no idea how hard it is to break an addiction. She said the difference between how she was before treatment and now is like night and day.

“Sitting in jail and having my 3-month-old at home was devastating for me,” Bailey said. “And it has completely changed my life.

I have my own vehicle, my own house. I have a lot of responsibility at work.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he wants to pass the repealand-replace legislation by the end of the month. Capito’s is one of the key votes he would need to do that.

“But let’s fix what’s truly broken with it, let’s don’t throw it in the ditch,” he adds. “Health care in the United States of America is a right. To me, it should be as natural as oxygen in the air.”

Prince adds whether it’s trying to raise the minimum wage or provide universal health coverage, he believes some conservatives are essentially opposed to policies aimed at helping people they see as lazy or who aren’t taking care of themselves.

“Anytime we’re trying to

help those in our society that have and always will need to be helped, the people on the conservative side don’t want to help them because they put them all into one box - ‘but they’re lazy’ - which is unfair and inaccurate,” Prince explains.

He notes proposed cuts to Medicaid will fall hardest on seniors, children and people with disabilities.

The Congressional Budget Office presents its analysis of the new Senate bill early this week, and a vote could come as early as Thursday.

Recovering WV Addicts Fear for Future If Healthcare Bill Passes

By Desert Star Staff CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- One of the big issues in the current healthcare debate is

what will happen to Medicaid support for substance abuse treatment. Some in West Virginia say they’re afraid

losing it could kill them.

Bailey Hendricks is a single mother from St. Albans, and a recovering opioid addict. She credits substance abuse treatment with saving her life. She said if Medicaid no longer covered the treatment, it would likely be a death sentence for many.

“Nobody knows what’s going to happen to all of us,” Hendricks said. “We’re all going to be turned out into the street. Most of us are probably going to die. I don’t even understand why it’s even a thought that they would take it way from us.”

Substance abuse treatment was added to the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. That expansion would be rolled back over time in the GOP

By Desert Star Staff DENVER – Resistance to efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is heating up after the U.S. Senate made public its Better Care Reconciliation Act. Rallies were held in Colorado on Friday and across the nation over the weekend, and members of the group “Patriotic Millionaires” are in Washington, D.C., this week to urge senators to vote against the bill.

Stephen Prince, vice chair of the group, says he and

others in the top ‘one percent’ don’t need tax cuts if they lead to 23 million Americans losing health coverage.

“The gap between us and the lower 10 or 20 percent of our society, the gap has gotten progressively wider,” he says.

“And it’s frightening, it’s crazy all in the name of greed - and that’s what this whole healthcare discussion is about.”

The GOP proposals to replace Obamacare would do away with taxes on top earners and health insurers that were created to fund

Medicaid expansion. In Colorado, the average tax break for a millionaire would be 40,000 dollars a year.

Supporters of the bills claim the insurance marketplaces created under the ACA are collapsing. They argue their new funding mechanism for Medicaid will help states be more flexible in providing care.

Prince isn’t convinced the overhaul being proposed in Congress is the best way forward, although he acknowledges the ACA has problems.

Some recovering opioid users in West Virginia say the treatment they get through Medicaid is all that’s keeping them from an addiction that could kill them. (3/Wikipedia)

Why Experts Say High-Speed Internet Access Matters to Families

High-speed Internet access is crucial for communities nationwide.

By Desert Star Staff In the same way the telephone brought new opportunities for business development and economic prosperity to America’s

heartland decades ago, experts say that today, expanding broadband to every part of the country will have positive impacts on all communities nationwide.

In short: no matter where you live it’s important that all Americans -- including those in more remote areas -- have broadband access, too.

“Broadband has replaced

Supreme Decision!

Continued from Page 1

Justice Clarence Thomas dissented in part, noting that he would grant the government’s request in its entirety and objecting to the court “keeping the injunctions in place with regard to an unidentified, unnamed group of foreign nationals abroad.”

The compromise will invite “a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits,” Thomas wrote. His dissent was joined by two of his fellow conservatives on the bench, Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, who was appointed by Trump

earlier this year.The justices will hear arguments about the second iteration of Trump’s travel ban, which was issued in early March, after the first, harsher version was put on hold by multiple courts. The second executive order, which Trump has complained was “watered down,” was set to go into effect on March 16 for a 90-day review period, but was halted before that could happen.

In mid-June, the 9th Circuit US Court of Appeals upheld the majority of an injunction issued by US District Court Judge Derrick Watson in March. His injunction blocked

the Trump administration from enforcing two sections of their revised travel ban. However, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit later concluded that the injunction was too broad.

The court granted the government’s application to stay the lower courts’ injunctions that prevent enforcement “with respect to foreign nationals who lack any bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”

“We leave the injunctions entered by the lower courts in place with respect to respondents and those similarly situated, as specified in this

the telephone, and represents the infrastructure opportunity of the 21st century,” says Shirley Bloomfield, chief executive officer of NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association.

In 2015, the rural broadband industry supported nearly 70,000 jobs, over $100 billion in e-commerce, and rural broadband companies contributed $24.1 billion to the U.S. economy through investments and operations, with 66 percent of that economic activity benefitting urban, rather than rural, communities.

While small, hometown broadband providers are leading the way in building advanced networks that support the Internet’s fastest speeds across large portions of rural America, a digital divide of availability and affordability still exists between the urban and rural parts of the country.

“To not have access to high-speed Internet today should be unimaginable -- as it is needed for education, commerce, health care and government services. Yet millions of rural Americans have limited or even no access to robust broadband,” says Bloomfield. “It is critical to deliver this service affordably to the unserved, and to ensure those already receiving broadband remain served.”

Advocates at NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association say that the future economic health of the country depends on broadband, and it should be included in any broader infrastructure initiatives, with an emphasis on programs that have worked in the past and a focus on addressing obstacles that can cause delays on projects moving forward. StatePoint

opinion,” the court wrote.The 9th circuit’s decision to stay the suspension of refugee admissions was also partly overturned, and narrowed to apply only to those who have a “bona fide relationship” to an American individual or entity.

“But when it comes to refugees who lack any such connection to the United States, for the reasons we have set out, the balance tips in favor of the Government’s compelling need to provide for the Nation’s security,” the court said.

Trump called the Supreme Court’s announcement a “clear victory for national security.”

“Today’s ruling allows me to use an important tool for protecting our Nation’s homeland,” the president said in a statement. “I am also particularly gratified that the Supreme Court’s decision was 9-0.”Two days after the 9th Circuit upheld much of the injunction, Trump had issued a memo to his secretary of state, attorney general, secretary of homeland security and director of national intelligence, instructing their agencies to begin internal vetting reviews and to activate the travel and refugee bans 72 hours after the injunctions are lifted.

25 Hours, Dozens of KY Voices for Accessible Health Care

By Desert Star Staff FRANKFORT, Ky. – Folks from around Kentucky say they want their voices to be heard when it comes to health care reform.

A 25-hour online hearing wrapped up Monday afternoon featuring more than 100 Kentuckians who say Sens.

Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul are not listening to their concerns about the Republican plan to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Jeanie Smith, a mother and teacher from Bowling Green who spoke as part of a mom’s panel, says it was great to hear from regular folks about how affordable health care is transforming and in some cases saving lives.

“When we have good health care, we’re able to have good, healthy families and strong communities,” she states. “These stories that

are coming out are just really powerful because these are your neighbors, these are the people that you go to church with, the families that you’re teaching their kids in school.”

One panelist described how health insurance allowed her to have blood work done that uncovered a rare form of cancer that is now being treated.

Another spoke of how the Affordable Care Act has improved access to addiction treatment that was not available before, and others raised concerns about jobs that could be lost under the GOP bill.

More than 1,000 people tuned in to watch the People’s Emergency Health Care Hearing. Stories and videos are available online at hearourhealth.org.

“They won’t be able to afford prescriptions that they need. We’re going to see really negative impacts

McConnell has said he would like a vote on the bill before the July 4 recess, and is speaking with senators about possible modifications to the current draft. www.desertstarweekly.com

Doctor’s Orders: How to Protect Your Skin this Summer

By Desert Star Staff The summer can really take a toll on skin, when more of it is exposed to sun, bugs and poisonous plants.

To keep skin cool, comfortable and irritation-free no matter what conditions you encounter, use these tips from NYC-based dermatologist, Dr. Angela Lamb of Mt. Sinai hospital.

Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is crucial when you’re busy and active outdoors. It’s also essential for skin health.

So be sure to drink plenty of water and eat hydrating

fruits and vegetables.

Treat the Itch: The itch, hives, rash, redness and irritation associated with insect bites, poison ivy, oak and sumac, and sunburns can be agonizing. However, it’s important not to scratch the affected area and create an open wound susceptible to infection, even though it does provide temporary relief.

Dr. Lamb suggests treating discomfort right away with a dermatologist-recommended solution that stops the itch and heals the skin. One easy to apply steroid-free treatment

to consider is The Itch Eraser, which contains soothing aloe, vitamin E and tea tree oil to calm, nourish and moisturize the skin while reducing redness and inflammation. Available as a gel, spray or cream, it can be used to treat every kind of skin itch, (formulas vary). Find a retailer near you at TheItchEraser.com.

Dress for Success: Whether it’s your blanket on the beach or your sundress, fabrics should be well-chosen for the warm weather. For maximum comfort, stick with cotton, linen and other breathable choices.

Working out? Look for moisture wicking materials that will dry quickly. Also, be sure to protect your scalp from sunburn with a wide-brimmed hat.

Keep it Cool: Hot water is never great for skin, but after too much sun exposure, it can be particularly irritating.

Luckily, it’s easy to turn down the heat on your shower in summer. Use the hot weather as an opportunity to give skin a break and refresh with cooler water in the shower or bath.

Use Common Sense: Avoid burns and itches to begin with by applying plenty of sunscreen and bug spray, and by taking precautions in wooded areas to avoid poison ivy, oak and sumac. While preparation may not always be top of mind when you’re headed outdoors for a day of fun and adventure, being sidelined by these issues is even more of a downer.

Additional tips on how to protect and treat your skin this summer can be found at TheItchEraser.com.

For a happier summer, treat your skin right from head to toe. StatePoint

‘Elevator’—An Insightful Comedy Drama

Photo credit: Max Feldman

Photo credit: Max Feldman Writer/director/filmmaker Michael Leoni has crafted a compelling comedy drama involving seven strangers trapped behind closed doors in his hit play “ELEVATOR” at the Coast Playhouse.

If you are claustrophobic, the experience would be daunting. It was for Michael, who was once trapped in an elevator with total strangers.

Being claustrophobic himself, he admits he now would rather walk up 26 flights of stairs before ever taking another elevator, but he does admit his experience served as his inspiration for

www.desertstarweekly.com

this very insightful play.

You start getting into the mood for your “ELEVATOR” experience when you enter the Coast Playhouse. You are told to watch your step as you pass through a hallway shrouded in plastic on the way to your seat, which faces an elevator. It is obvious that you are in a building under reconstruction and as the play begins to feel as if you are a part to the story as seven individuals enter the lobby area. You learn a bit about the characters as your hear the thoughts into their heads as they wait until the

elevator doors to open. It is a diverse group. David Abed is a businessman who seems loud and self-absorbed.

William Stanford Davis plays the African American maintenance man for the building who comes on board with a bucket and mop and the third man in the group is Devon Werkheiser, a young musician with a guitar and a very positive attitude. Erica Katzin is the temp with a very large purse, filled it turns out, with lots and lots of food because she plans to eat her heart out over the weekend and begin a diet on Monday.

Deborah Vancelette portrays a CEO who works in the building, and as it turns out during the play, she is tired of her job and her life. Karsen Rigby, the very hot looking woman with a figure to die for catches the eye of the men in the elevator, but is her life as exciting as they all surmise?

And last, but not least there

June 28, 2017

is a very strange young teen described as Goth Girl, played

by Kristina St. Peter, who clutches a medium-sized box close to her heart.

The elevator begins going up, but suddenly comes to a lurching stop. This shakes up everyone on board but they all assume it will be quickly repaired, but this is not the case. Soon they realize they are trapped together until the Otis Elevator people can rectify the problem. But how long will that take?

At first, they all yell out and try to alert the building management about their distress. Soon a voice assures them that help will be on its way. As minutes turn into hours, the diverse group starts to open up to one another, and they discover that people are often far more complex than they ever imagined. Eventually, seven strangers trapped behind closed doors gradually open

up to one another. As they get beyond anger, hostility, and fear they begin to reveal their true selves, warts and all.

What is so beautiful about Leoni’s play is the realization that we often see stereotypes, not the true person behind the outer image. According to the author the play is an 11:11 experience which represents a moment in time when you’re connected to all, focused on the connection and the experience, knowing we are one. If you find yourself seeing 11:11 frequently, it is simply the universe tapping you on the shoulder, letting you know that you’re in the right place at the right time.

“ELEVATOR,” at the Coast Playhouse, has been extended through July 30. For more information and tickets visit www. elevatortheplay.com or www. plays411.com/elevator

Studio Returns, Live Sets and Retrospectives Shine

Eagerly-awaited returns from Styx, Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Robert Lamm and Richard X. Heyman add additional depth to the career of each of the legendary artists.

Artist: Styx Title: The Mission (UMe) You might like if you enjoy: Styx, Rush, Queen Tell me more: Just half way through 2017, the year has already been marked by a number of long-awaited returns including Fastball, Little Steven, Chuck Berry and Ride.

Count Styx as the latest rock act to return with a powerful new album that equals some of the band’s best work. “The Mission” is the first new Styx studio album since 2003; the new LP is a compelling concept album centered around the technological challenges and human costs of an ambitious interplanetary journey. Several of the songs equal standouts on the band’s best albums (“Crystal Ball,” “The Grand Illusion,” “Pieces of Eight”).

The gorgeous “Locomotive” explores the complex relationship between father and son; the progressive rockstyled “The Greater Good” is an

eloquently-detailed exchange between two astronauts as they hope their actions will advance their mission even if their lives are lost. The songs may be built around a trip into the cosmos, but the emotions and marvelous music making will connect firmly with listeners here on Terra Firma.

Styx will perform at Agua Caliente in Rancho Mirage at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 15.

Information: StyxWorld.com.

Artist: Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow Title: Live In Birmingham 2016 (Eagle Rock) You might like if you enjoy: Rainbow, Deep Purple Tell me more: Ritchie Blackmore’s exceptional guitar work during his years with Deep Purple and Rainbow has long established him as one of the best and most influential lead guitarists in the history of rock. Since the late 1990s, Blackmore has focused mostly on performing traditional British folk music. However, in June 2016, Blackmore revisited his illustrious past when he teamed with singer Ronnie Romero, keyboardist Jens Johansson, drummer David

Keith and bassist Bob Nouveau for a trio of live showcases; the two German shows at Loreley and Bietigheim were used to compile the concert film “Memories In Rock” released by Eagle Vision in November 2016. Now, the full audio recording from Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow’s “Live In Birmingham 2016” performance in Great Britain is out on on a two-CD set.

The performance delivers bona fide live versions of Blackmore’s best known rock material including classics from Deep Purple (“Highway Star,” Perfect Strangers,” “Soldier of Fortune,” “Smoke on the Water”) and Rainbow (“Man on the Silver Mountain,” Since You Been Gone”) that fully deliver on the power of the original studio versions.

Information: Eagle-Rock.com.

Artist: Robert Lamm Title: Time Chill: A Retrospective (Omnivore Recordings) You might like if you enjoy: Chicago, Bill Champlin Tell me more: Even casual fans of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist Chicago’s ‘70s work will enjoy immersing

themselves in Robert Lamm’s “Time Chill: A Retrospective.”

Lamm is a founding member of Chicago and songwriter of “Saturday in the Park,” “Beginnings” and “25 or 6 to 4.” Collecting highlights from his solo career spanning 1999 to 2012 (including four previously-unreleased tracks), “Time Chill: A Retrospective” highlights the jazz, pop, chill and other styles he has explored over the past two decades. The breezy “Angels Fly,” which recalls the Euro pop of the 1960s, the Bossa novaflavored “Sing To Me Lady” and techno-funk “Sleeping In the Middle of the Bed” are early nuggets on the 15-song collection, while the jazzy “Send Rain,” potent 9/11-inspired jazz-meets-blues “Everyday, It’s Always Something” and affecting ballad “Standing At Your Door” impress later.

Additionally, Chicago fans will likely appreciate the chillstyled JVE remix of “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” Information: OmnivoreRecordings.com.

The 5x platinum album, including her already massive global hits - “La Bicicleta,” “Chantaje,” “Me Enamoré,” and “Déjà vu”- currently holds the top spot on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums, marking her 6th #1 album on this chart.

In a better world, the title track “Incognito,” “A Fool’s Errand” and “Her Garden Path” would be all over the radio. Heyman can conjure up firepower to spare, as evidenced by the driving “Chalk It Up” and soulful “Terry Two Timer.” And Heyman’s skills to create and craft wistful songs bolstered by melodic rock are as strong as any artist in memory (just listen to the yearning Americana-tinged “And Then” and “Gleam”).

By Desert Star Staff LOS ANGELES, -- Carrot Top is known the world over as one of the most famous comedians on the planet. In fact, Reader’s Digest recently honored him with their cover.

The comedian, who has been one of the staples on the Las Vegas Strip with his continuous sold-out concerts at the Luxor, is entering a new realm: Movies.

Carrot Top and singer Brian Evans (“At Fenway” and “Creature at The Bates Motel,” where the two became the first ever to film a music video at the famous lot for the movie “Psycho,” which was fully approved by the Alfred Hitchcock Estate), will executive produce, with Dan O’Leary, a film adaptation of Brian’s brainchild, “The Funny Robbers,” which he co-wrote with O’Leary, Carrot Top’s manager.

Evans is no stranger to show business. He has recorded numerous albums, his music is used on the hit Netflix animated series “BoJack Horseman,” began his career on “Full House,” and wrote three other novels currently in the works to be major motion pictures including “Horrorscope,” “Savannah,”

says of the book-to-be-movie, “I couldn’t put it down.”

Comedian Carrot Top to Produce Movie ‘The Funny Robbers’

(co-written with Ted Hamby), and several other books including “Bad Decision,” and “Horrorscope III,” along with a book about his mother that he has been working on, as well as researching.

He is also a partial patentholder in Point Motion, which allows the hearing impaired to be provided a voice using infrared technology. He is also working on a new album. He also has been producing The Maui Celebrity Series, and is partnering on a wine vineyard in Bordeaux, France with a wellknown friend. He has been the opening act for Joan Rivers, Jay Leno, Erasure, Social Distortion, and the list goes on. He’s performed thousands of shows in Las Vegas.

Carrot Top, however, doesn’t require as much of an introduction. His legend speaks for itself.

The novel is about four comedians who, spoiled with fame, take on a string of standup comedy club dates. This is in far contrast to the stadiums for which they are accustomed to performing in. However, during the trip, they meet up with a sinister bank executive who manipulates Carrot Top into helping the corrupt bank executive in his effort to retrieve

stolen TARP funds that the Lifestyles of The Rich & executive has been stealing.

Famous star Robin Leach This sets off a hilarious story in which the comedians must rob his bank chain in each state the comics are set to tour (states that the bank has a branch in), or they risk going to prison.

“Never did I dream that a book I wrote would get this type of attention, and I am honored to know that a book I wrote will hit the big screen, and it won’t be the first,” says Evans.

Carrot Top is also thrilled with the developments.

“A freewheeling romp featuring crooks, comedians, con men, and colorful characters that will keep you turning the pages until the climactic conclusions. On the screen, it will be amazing,” says the comedian.

“It will take a big crew to put this together, but we are ready for the task and people are lining up to make this happen. I couldn’t be happier,” says Evans.

Other producers will also be coming on board, with Evan LaRochelle, Mark Biltz, and Cameron Walker taking on the roles of associate producers.

“The talent in this will blow your mind, and we’re on the look-out for more,” says Evans.

Sounding Alarms for Women’s Health in GOP Health-Care Plan

By Desert Star Staff COLUMBUS, Ohio – After weeks of closed-door meetings, Senate Republicans released their legislation last week to repeal Obamacare.

GOP leaders claim the plan will stabilize insurance markets, remove mandates and provide flexibility for states.

But Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio disagrees, saying the bill drastically cuts Medicaid and defunds Planned Parenthood, which would reduce access to health care for many women.

“It’s devastating,” she says. “Some people don’t have anywhere else to turn.

And what happens when you don’t get the cancer screenings when you don’t get the breast exams, when you are unable to prevent an unintended pregnancy? The impact is just alarming.”

Copeland adds the plan also denies abortion coverage to those who get their insurance through the health exchanges, or who

receive tax subsidies.

Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman has said he’s reviewing the bill, which could be voted on this week.

Medicaid currently covers about half of all births and accounts for threequarters of all public dollars spent on family planning.

Adam Sanfield, the senior policy manager with the Guttmacher Institute, says family-planning services are critical for long-term health by helping women plan for children and avoid unintended pregnancies.

“We know that’s important from a health point of view because pregnancy spacing helps to avoid pre-term and low-birthweight births,” he says. “It helps people to prepare for their pregnancies, so that they can become healthy before they get pregnant and get chronic conditions under control.”

The concern of Janele George, director of federal reproductive health with the National Women’s Law

By Desert Star Staff NEW YORK – An annual gathering of mayors from around the country is calling on Congress to reverse course by moving funding out of the military budget and into human and environmental needs.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors on Monday unanimously passed three resolutions opposing deep cuts in social and environmental programs to increase funding for the military.

David Swanson, director of World Beyond War, notes President Donald Trump has proposed increasing military spending by $54 billion.

“These resolutions say, “No,’” he states. “’Take money

out of the military budget – and, in particular, take money out of nuclear weapons – and put that money into increasing the budgets of things that actually serve humanity and the environment.”

The mayors of Ithaca, N.Y., and New Haven, Conn. introduced two of the resolutions, numbered 59 and 60. Both call for a reversal of priorities in the federal budget and, Swanson adds, resolution 60 issues a nationwide call for action.

“The mayors of all the cities need to hold public hearings, make public the trade offs involved here, send notification to their members of Congress and request

The GOP health-care plan cuts funding for Planned Parenthood, which could reduce access to health-care services for many women. (Pixabay) Center, is that the bill allows what is known as “13-32 waivers,” under which states could make changes to the essential health benefits insurers now must cover.

“Including maternity services and preventive services,” George says. “Not only is this bill stripping that away for folks who are covered

under Medicaid expansion, but under the 1332 waivers, we could see other folks have their health care impacted as well.”

Sanfield adds there would be massive cuts to private insurance subsidies that make coverage affordable for some people who have to buy insurance on their own, rather than through an employer.

“In ways that will make it a lot harder for particularly low-income people to be able to afford to buy that coverage, and then to be able to afford to use that coverage, because they’ll have plans that include really high deductibles and really high copayments,” Sanfield laments.

responses back,” he stresses.

The mayors of 19 cities sponsored the third resolution, number 79.

According to Swanson, it calls on Congress to cut off funding for new nuclear weapons and to join other

nations in drafting a United Nations treaty to ban all nuclear weapons.

“Nothing could be more important while the United States and Russia are in a more hostile relationship than they’ve been in decades,” he states.

The Trump administration budget proposes an 11 percent increase in spending on nuclear weapons, while slashing federal programs for diplomacy and foreign aid.

Heart Assn. Staffer “Knows Why LGBTQ Outreach is Important”

The American Heart Association is ramping up its health outreach to the LGBTQ community, which included a booth at the Hampton Roads Pride event. (MeShall Hills/American Heart Assn.)

By Desert Star Staff RICHMOND, Va. -- The American Heart Association is beginning health outreach to members of the LGBTQ community, a group with higher

rates of stress and smoking.

One AHA staffer in Virginia knows all too well how important that can be. Teri Arnold, director of marketing and communications at the the

By Desert Star Staff TUCSON, Ariz. – In a victory for conservation groups, a federal judge in Tucson has approved a settlement that forces the federal government to figure out how to avoid accidentally killing endangered ocelots.

Wildlife Services, a program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, regularly lays metal traps that snap shut on an animal’s leg to deter predators that feed on farm animals.

Collette Adkins, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, says her group, alongside the Animal Welfare Institute, sued last year to try to limit these traps’ use in sensitive areas.

“The devices are primarily set to benefit the agricultural interests like livestock ranchers, so they’d be targeting

predators like coyotes,” she explains. “But unfortunately, non-targets like bobcats and foxes have been killed by these methods, and we’re just trying to make sure that no endangered ocelots are killed.”

So far, no reports have surfaced of ocelots being killed this way, but there’s not much room for error.

Experts estimate that there are fewer than 100 ocelots left in the U.S., mostly along the border in the desert Southwest. The elusive cats have expanded their territory in recent years, with sightings in Arizona’s Huachuca and Santa Rita Mountains.

Adkins says she’d like Wildlife Services to simply stop using traps, snares and poisons in ocelot territory.

“We want to make sure that predator-killing methods like

Heart Association in Hampton Roads, is a lesbian. She survived a totally unexpected heart attack at age 42, she said, because working with the group taught her the

symptoms, and convinced her to take them seriously.

“I was a vegan, I worked out daily. But I had the ‘elephant on the chest,’ the dizziness, the nausea,” Arnold said. “I immediately said to my wife, ‘You need to call 911.’”

She said for the first time, the AHA took part in the Hampton Roads Pride event, teaching CPR and giving free blood pressure screenings.

And they have committed to take part in other pride events nationally this year. Arnold said these demographic groups are less likely to have healthcare access and may even face discrimination when they go to the doctor.

June is National LGBT Pride Month.

Arnold, who is a former smoker, said one issue the AHA will focus on is the high smoking rates in the LGBTQ community - just as it targets high blood pressure

among African Americans, or specific health issues for women or Latinos.

“Now, we’re focusing on the LGBT community. For the first time, we had an American Heart Association/American Stroke Association booth,” she said. “We felt that it was a huge success, and we were embraced at this event.”

Arnold said what she had was a coronary artery spasm, a bit different than most heart attacks - with different causes, but maybe just as deadly. She is getting the treatment she needs and said things look good.

“Over time, this disease is going to get better for me.

And I know with the research from the AHA, new procedures and new things coming out, there’s a lot of hope for me in the future,” Arnold said.

About 220,000 Virginians identify as LGBTQ.

Feds Agree to Study Ways to Protect Endangered Ocelot Along AZ Border

Endangered ocelots have expanded their territory in Arizona, so advocates sued to get federal agencies to study ways to avoid accidentally killing them when targeting coyotes.(Tom Smylie/USFWS) using snares or leg-hold traps are not used in areas where ocelots occur because nontarget animals can be killed with these cruel and indiscriminate

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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000047-17-1.

Nearly 1 in 4 Has No Emergency Savings

By Desert Star Staff NEW YORK, -- Nearly a quarter of Americans have no emergency savings, according to a new report from Bankrate. com. However, the percentage of those without an emergency fund currently sits at a six-year low, down to 24% this year from 28% last year. Additionally, Americans with an adequate savings cushion – enough to cover six months’ expenses or more – jumped to 31% (from 22% in 2015 and 28% last year), a new high during the seven years Bankrate.com has been polling on this subject. Overall, Americans are doing a better job at saving. Those with some savings, but not enough to cover three months’ expenses, increased from 18% to 20%.

Americans with enough savings to cover 3-5 months’ expenses nosed higher from 16% to 17%.

Bankrate.com chief financial

analyst Greg McBride, CFA commented, “With all the spending that is not happening in the economy, something else apparently is – Americans are putting money in savings! We’re still not out of the woods yet – everyone should strive to have at least six months’ expenses socked away for the unexpected – but it’s encouraging to see progress being made.”

The tendency to have no emergency savings is highest among those ages 53-62, who seem to be all-or-nothing, as they have an equal propensity to have no emergency savings and enough to cover six months’ expenses (32% for each). After that, the likelihood of having zero emergency savings declines substantially; the oldest Americans (63+) report the lowest likelihood of having nothing set aside for a rainy day (17%) and the

highest probability of at least a six-month reserve (44%).

While one quarter of Millennials and Generation Xers lack any emergency savings, younger Millennials (ages 1826) seem to be well on their way; they have the highest propensity to have enough to cover 3-5 months’ expenses (31%). Generation X is most likely to have some savings, but not enough to cover three months’ expenses (28%).

Not surprisingly, those with enough emergency savings to cover at least six months’ expenses tend to be higher income and more highly educated, while those with no emergency savings are more likely to be lower income and have lesser levels of education.

Lower-middle income households ($30K-$49.9K per year) are more likely to have enough savings to cover six

How to Properly Display the American Flag

By Desert Star Staff WASHINGTON -- This Fourth of July all across the country, people will show their love for America by displaying flags along streets, hanging them from porches, and proudly carrying them in parades and festivals. Old Glory will be everywhere.

But did you know there are official rules on properly displaying the U.S. flag?

This guide and infographic from USAGov, based on the Federal Flag Code, can help you show respect for the flag as you celebrate America’s 241st birthday: • When: You can display the flag outside from sunrise to sunset. If you want to fly it after dark, it will need to be lit. Don’t fly the flag during inclement weather, unless it’s an all-weather flag.

• On the porch: The union of the flag--the blue

section with white stars-should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When the flag is suspended from a rope on a pole extending from a house, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.

• On the wall or the window: When the flag is displayed on a flat surface like a wall, the union should be at the top left.

• On the street: The flag should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, so make sure it’s hoisted at the proper height.

• At the office: Suspend the flag vertically with the union to the observer’s left upon entering. If the building has more than one main entrance, the flag should be

suspended vertically near the center of the corridor or lobby with the union to the north when entrances are to the east and west, or to the east when entrances are to the north and south. If there are entrances in more than two directions, the union should be to the east.

• On a vehicle: The staff should be fixed firmly on the right side of the vehicle.

Do not drape the flag over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or a boat.

• Half-staff: During periods of mourning, it’s common to see the flag flying at half-staff. Only presidents can proclaim such periods for a national remembrance.

Governors can also declare mourning periods at a local level. In some cases, heads of federal agencies can order the flag flown at halfstaff on grounds under their

supervision. Traditionally, states and local governments follow the president’s proclamation during a period of national mourning.

Take care of your flag.

Many dry cleaners will clean U.S. flags for free during the months of June and July.

Store your flag in a wellventilated area. If it gets wet, make sure it’s completely dry before storing it. If the flag is damaged or worn out, it should be burned and disposed of with dignity.

Learn more about the flag, its history, protocol, and ways to pay your respects, including the proper way to fold it.

This Independence Day, show us your patriotism by proudly displaying the old Red, White, and Blue while celebrating the nation’s 241st birthday.

And share your pictures on USAGov’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram of you and your family celebrating with Old Glory.

2nd Annual Joshua Tree Improv/Comedy Festival Runs July 7-8-9 at HDCC

Melanie Chartoff

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic If you love ‘IMPROV’ theatre, especially comedy/ improv theatre, then the High Desert Cultural Center (HDCC), in Joshua Tree, CA is definitely the place to be on opening night Friday, July 7 at 6:30 PM. A Gala will kick off the three-day Improv/Comedy Festival with Cabaret star and actress Francesca Amari, presenting her tribute to Gilda Radner in a performance of “You make Me Laugh: A Love Song to Gilda Radner”. The lovely and talented actress/ singer has long been a desert favorite with a large following.

Festival Director Jeanette T. Knight promises to deliver an even larger line up of performers than last year’s highly successful event. This year’s format will be the same as last year and features seventy-nine acts and groups from as far away as New Zealand; consisting of Improv teams, sketch comedy groups, and stand-up comics, along with special appearances by Hollywood TV and stage star

Ryan Stadler Melanie Chartoff. Ms. Chartoff will present the world premiere of her new one-woman show, “Odd Woman Out” the stories and songs about her life; with musical accompaniment

by Doug Katsarous, on Saturday, July 8, at 7:30 PM. Ms. Chartoff is an improviser and inventor of stories and characters for the written page, stage, and screen, including many roles she created on ABC’s late night comedy show “Fridays”, alongside comedy star, writer and producer Larry David and “Seinfeld’s comedy actor Michael Richards. She has also worked as a performer on such TV shows as: ‘The Newhart Show’, ‘Married With Children’, ‘Ally McBeal’, ‘Touched by an Angel’, and ‘Seinfeld’ among others. She can be heard daily on the children’s TV show “Nickelodeon” as the voices of Didi and Minka, and Ms. Chartoff is also a columnist for the Huffington Post. Talk about being indefatigable…

I’m exhausted just listing her many gifts. This is not a lady to miss in her one-

woman show on July 9th.

Also performing is the sketch comedy team of Zach Fairless and Nick Luciano, creators of the ‘The Very Nick and Zach Show’. These two talented lads were voted an audience favorite at last year’s festival. This year, Director Knight makes sure that the 2nd annual festival is again chockfull of wild and wacky comedy improv acts and laugh-outloud stand-ups and comedy groups that entertain the voting audience while giving the talent an opportunity to go all-out while strutting their best stuff.

On Saturday and Sunday the festival will conduct panels and workshops in the art of comedy improv from 11 AM to 1 PM. Instructors include

stand-up comic Richard Weiss, ‘Second City’ alumni Chelsea Coleman, Viola Spolin, Andy Harmon, and American Academy of Dramatic Arts instructors Mark McCracken and Brandon Gibson.

At 2:30 PM on Saturday, July 9th, and on Sunday, July 10th, the professional competitions begin. This competition includes the top fourteen acts out of the seventy-nine performers who committed to the festival. The audience voters determine the overall festival winner, who will be offered a paid return engagement to become part of the Hi-Desert Cultural Playhouse 2017/2018 season of productions.

If you’re a comedy or

improve fan you will want to be here to see and enjoy the changing face of comedy. I believe it’s safe to say, that the type of comedy being performed today is not your grandfather’s type of comedy. So, come to the cabaret Meine Damen und Herren, and join the fun.

Tickets for the Festival and its events are open to the public. However, it should be noted that some material may be R-rated and may not be suitable for children, so leave the kiddies at home with grandma.

Tickets start at only $ 8.00. For additional festival information go to: www. jtimprovfestival.org.
