Modern twist to classic drama in Old Globe West Coast Premiere

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Just as there are horses for courses, as they say in the racing game, there are actors for roles in the theatre game and Lauren Blumenfeld is the actor for the title role in The Old Globe’s West Coast Premiere of “Rich Girl” hands down.

Henry James’ novel

Washington Square, which became the stage and screen classic The Heiress, has now been smartly and sharply updated by Victoria Stewart into a modern-day, clever exploration of the mother-daughter, lovehate relationship, set against the backdrop of money – lots of it - dishing up a tasty feast for the actors called “Rich Girl” (and

no, we’re not talking Paris Hilton).

Solidly directly by James Vasquez, The Old Globe’s Sheila and Harvey White stage features four talented actors playing four interesting characters that draw one into the vortex of a play you thought you knew only to find yourself forgetting all about that dark old drama from the past.

FIFA: Blatter Resigns!

By Desert Star Staff Now ‘Sun King’ Blatter has taken the consequences. After 17 years at the head of the world football’s governing body the FIFA, he resigns. However, until a successor has been found, he remains in office.

At 6:30 pm Blatter appeared at the FIFA headquarters before the press and presented the breaking news bomb. Blatter exhibited signs of extreme tension and spoke in French.

Blatter: “I’ve been thinking seriously about my presidency, about the wonderful times at the FIFA. I love the FIFA more than anything else. I have decided to resign “He continued:” We need to initiate major reforms.

We have to start these reforms immediately. We do not have control over the other FIFA executive members, but we have a responsibility. I have fought hard for the changes, but I cannot do this alone. It needs new wind for these measures.” The Blatter resignation started at 6:30pm.

Blatter was 17 years FIFA president; his resignation speech lasted exactly two minutes.

Blatter: “I am so very connected to FIFA and its interests. I would like to thank all our supporters and companions.

We now need time to find the best possible candidate for this office. “Blatter has been with FIFA since1975, first as a technical director, from 1981

then as General secretary. In 1998, he became the successor of President Joao Havelange.

FIFA will convene an extraordinary congress to find a successor to Blatter. The next scheduled Congress was supposed to be held in Mexico City on 12 and 13 May 2016.

Much too late, the FIFA wants a new president as quickly as possible.

The Congress will take place from December 2015 and March 2016. Until then, the Italo-Swiss Domenico Scala (50) is intended to promote the reforms of the World Football Association.

But we’re now ensconced, for better or worse, in the 21st century and the events that capture the imagination of today’s audiences often reflect comedy and drama with a dash of the absurd all tossed into the mix in a single production.

PS Air Museum’s Memorial Day Flower Drop

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The 18th Annual Palm Springs Air Museum’s Memorial Day Flower Drop honored 27 local families who lost loved ones that sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom. Banners with their names lined the parking lot.

Their names were read in front of several thousand people that came for this annual event.

Veterans and families brought young children to witness this special day to honor all our veterans from WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. 3000 red and white carnations were dropped over the Palm Springs Air Museum.

The white carnations were for those lost during the earlier wars, and the red carnations were dropped in honor of the more recent conflicts like Desert Storm, The Persian Gulf and of course the conflicts that are still raging like Iraq and Afghanistan.

The day included a short program, Flight exhibitions

by P-38s, P-51 and P-63, a Spitfire Supermarine and the T-28 and a Stearman-P-17 plus the B-25 that dropped all the carnations. The Heatwave Jazz Band entertained guests and there were many children’s activities plus Harpo the Clown was present for photos with the kiddies. It was a nice day for the Flower Drop and there were refreshments, a beer tent and plenty of food vendors to feed the crowd.

A special honor was given to a 103-year-old flying Ace

from WWII. Fred Bell made the introduction.

A local veterans group and Loretta Siani sang a couple of patriotic songs while the Color Guard made its entrance.

Representative Raul Ruiz made the Congressional Gold Medal presentation to Gen. Fritz Payne, a local resident. 76 living Ace Pilots were awarded this medal in Washington D.C. on May 20th, but Gen. Payne was unable to attend that ceremony.

He was honored in front of the several thousand people, many B-25 and Pilots local residents, who witnessed this great honor.

Well, over 100,000 veterans have been killed in the line of duty defending our freedoms since 1775. That’s a heavy price to pay so we must always honor those who are still fighting to protect our freedom and our way of life. The Palm Springs Air Museum continues to preserve, educate and honor these veterans with the many programs they provide each year.

The Museum houses many older airplanes and continues to restore and add to their collection. Many of the programs offered are for our younger children so the freedoms they enjoy will not be representative Raul Ruiz with Gen. Fritz Payne lost in time and those brave vets will never be forgotten.

By Desert Star Staff For couples planning a wedding, there is greater opportunity than ever to weave personal elements into every aspect of the big day. Many traditional “rules” of wedding planning have given way to let couples celebrate as they see fit – even including their four-legged family members and inviting guests to do the same.

Whether you’re a bride whose furry friend will play a leading role in the festivities, or a guest bringing your pooch along for the party, these tips from the pet experts at PetSmart will help ensure your canine companions join the celebration in comfort and style.

Put your pet to work. Think ahead about how your pet will participate in the fun: as a member of the wedding party, perhaps as ring bearer or flower girl? Give your pet a rehearsal run to be sure she’s up for the task.

Choose a fur kid-friendly venue. If pets are welcome, make sure they’ll also be safe. For instance, avoid freshly fertilized lawns and plants, as well as flowers that are toxic to pets.

Find out where your fur babies can go and where they need to be on a leash. If possible, give

your pet a few sneak peeks of the location.

Don’t make pets suffer for fashion. Skip the puppy couture version of a tight pair of shoes or an itchy shirt tag, and choose a stylish pup-friendly ensemble instead. Made of lightweight, breathable materials, each piece of the Martha Stewart Pets® wedding collection for dogs features timeless design elements, simple color palettes and complementary accessories such as collars and leashes to help ensure your pooch puts her best foot forward. The limitededition line of dapper, sweet and sophisticated wedding attire, including elegant tuxedos to bow-adorned dresses, is available at www.petsmart.com and PetSmart stores. Remember, a “dress rehearsal” can help you make sure your fur kids can sit and stay comfortably in their wedding day attire.

Pamper your pet. Now is not the time to skimp on pampering.

From lush, oxygen-infused baths to haircuts fit for a show dog, nail trims to non-toxic chalking and decorative stenciling, let a groomer take the lead on your pet’s look for the big day.

Keep everyone fed. Make sure your four-legged friends

have more than table scraps to nosh on during the reception.

Serve food in a portable bowl and bring treats, too. In case one of the guests can’t resist helping Fido sneak a snack, be sure the human menu doesn’t contain anything that’s harmful to pets.

Provide plenty of fresh water, and if the venue is outdoors, use a large block of ice to keep your canine’s water cool all day.

(Family Features) Make sure your fur kid is the party type. Before committing your pet to a vibrant celebration, be sure he’s comfortable with commotion, loud music, crowds and strangers. Consider signing up for a training class beforehand; brushing up on your pet’s best behavior can only enhance the day.

Assign a chaperone. If you have a leading role in the big day as the bride or a member of the wedding party, recruit a staff or family member to double as your pet’s dedicated chaperone. Arm them with a pooper scooper and pick up bags. Help create a quiet, safe space for the chaperone to guide your pet away from the excitement if it becomes overwhelming. wedding party pets remain follow PetSmart on Facebook, For more fashionable healthy, happy and stress-free, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. inspiration and tips to ensure visit www.PetSmart.com or Source PetSmart June 5, 2015

When Joan Crawford as Mildred Pierce utters the phrase, to Anne Blythe there were real dire consequences at stake. Mother love can be a two-edge sword.

The talented cast are a delight to watch as each actor gets his or her moment to shine, however, the bulb that burns brightest is turned on by the performance of Lauren Blumenfeld who grows from an introverted twenty something into a confident adult businesswoman. It’s an astonishing transformational

arc to watch unfold on a stage.

Her focus and in-the-moment performance is riveting in its nuances especially in the chilling denouement at the end. It’s great stuff.

Director James Vasquez has staged his production in the round with nice pacing and good traffic management. However, if I had to be picky about this splendid production it would be to ask the actors not to drop their voices when they’re just two or three words from the end of their speeches. I realize we’re no more than twenty feet from the stage, but we are watching a performance in the round.

Rather than interact with her daughter Eve assigns that chore to her personal assistant Maggie (Carolyn Michelle Smith) a savvy and empathetic friend of Claudine. Maggie acts as a surrogate therapist and business mentor to Claudine who is struggling to become a person of her own while working in the family business. Clever Maggie continues to enjoy the personal relationship she has with both Eve and Claudine, despite Eve’s maddening, at times, bad behavior concerning Claudine.

Into this triangle of women in business seeking more out of life comes JD Taylor as Henry, a young, theatrical director in search of funds for a project he has been trying to produce.

Red flags immediately spring up around Eve, but not for Claudine who is overwhelmed by all of Henry’s attention to her.

Maggie is waiting to see what develops between Claudine and the handsome hunk Henry before she makes up her mind as to what’s really happening. But Eve is already onto the opportunistic pseudo-suitor Henry.

T R AV E L Deaf West Theatre’s Production of “Spring Awakening”

BY BEVERLY COHN

The lobby of the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts was filled with excitement as hearing-impaired friends greeted each other with hugs and kisses, signing their enthusiasm that almost translated itself for those of us who are not hearing impaired.

This enthusiasm was only the beginning of what was an astounding evening of a rare, emotionally charged theatrical experience.

Before the imaginary curtain went up, the cast milled about a dimly lit stage, stretching and do a variety of warm-up exercises.

In the house, an usher held up a sign with a line through a cell phone signaling the direction to put away all electronic devices.

Soon, with the musicians in place high above the stage, this unique production of “Spring Awakening” came to life.

A Tony Award-winning rock musical, with book and lyrics

by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik, the play was originally performed on Broadway on December 10, 2006 and closed on January 18, 2009 after racking up 859 performances.

The story is based on the 1891 German play by Frank Wedekind, who described his play as “a tragedy of childhood.” It was an

indictment of parents, teachers, and the clergy who emotionally paralyzed children by keeping them in the darkness as they discovered their sexuality and the confusion that set in as their bodies became alive with new feelings.

The current production is masterfully directed by Michael Arden, who has elicited deep, compelling, sometimes wrenching performances from each of his actors. He also has made full use of every inch of the Wallis, including the orchestra pit, which symbolized a burial.

The action takes place in a provincial German town in the late 1800s and revolves around a group of adolescent school children who are trying to find answers to their questions precipitated by their emerging hormones. This is an innocent time for these children – an innocence that is challenged by the mystical, magical feelings being awakened in their teenage bodies. They ignore the adults in their lives and try to find answers amongst their peers.

Obviously, what is different about this production is that the cast is comprised of an incredibly talented ensemble of hearing and non-hearing actors who create their characters so thoroughly, that it almost takes your breath away. The principal non-hearing actors have a “twin” hearing actor. As one actor signs, the other actor speaks the lines or sings the ballad. They both have the same emotional content, whether signed or spoken, and act as one integrated person.

The actors use the American Sign Language, which, in and of itself, becomes a highly theatrical, balletic component in its beauty, grace, and deep, soulful emotions as expressed by

Daniel N. Durant, Andy Mientus, Miles Barbee, Alex Wyse and Alex Boniello in “Spring Awakening”

the actors’ bodies.

Wendla, beautifully played by Sandra Mae Frank, speaks and sings through her “twin,” a most talented Katie Boeck, who also plays the guitar. Wendla is an innocent and has no idea how babies are made and sings the lovely ballad “Mama Who Bore Me.” She insists she’s too old to believe in the stork and begs her mother for the truth, which her mother comically avoids by omitting some major details about the male/female babymaking procedure.

The lack of this basic knowledge causes great pain later on with devastating consequences for both Wendla and Melchior, played intensely by Austin McKenzie. Their confusion and mutual “forbidden” attraction is illuminated in a striking duet, “The Word of Your Body,” sung

by Melchior and Wendla (Katie Boeck.) The tender love scene between them is graphically, but

tastefully, acted out. A minister is giving a sermon as we watch these two young people grapple with their initial reluctance to surrender to their desires.

Another outstanding performance was given by Daniel N. Durant as Moritz, with his songs sung by his “twin,” a very talented Alex Boniello, who also played the guitar. Moritz’s failure at school meets with strong parental disapproval resulting in an unexpected outcome.

Other teen-age topics, which were explored, included; wet dreams, child abuse, incest, homosexuality, rape, suicide, and teenage pregnancy. A particularly amusing scene was the masturbation sequence, which was staged in a fun, stylized manner. Some of these subjects are as relevant today as they were in the 1800s.

The balance of this highlytrained, versatile ensemble is comprised of Sean Barna (drums) (could lighten up a bit,) Joshua Castille (Ernst,) Kathryn Gallagher (voice of Martha/guitar,) Sean Grandillo (voice of Otto/bass,) Amelia Hensley (Thea,) Lauren M. Luiz (Heidi, voice of Thea,) Andy Mientus (Hanschen,) Daniel David Stewart (voice of Ernst/piano,) Ali Stroker (Anna,) Alexandra Winter (harp,) and Alex Wyse (Georg.) Also outstanding were Hillary Baack, Daniel Marmion, and Natacha Roi who were quite convincing in creating distinctly different adult characters.

In a profusion of color, sounds, and dramatic lighting effects, the story is told through a strong narrative and haunting songs. While every number is outstanding, some of them include; “The Bitch of Living,” (Moritz and voice of Moritz,) “Touch Me,” (Company,) the rousing “Totally Fucked,” (sung

by Melchior and Company,) “The Mirror-Blue Night, (Melchior and the boys,)” “I Believe,” (Company,) “And Then There Were None,”(Moritz

and voice of Moritz and the boys,)“Whispering” (Wendla, and Katie Boeck,) and the closing number “The Song of Purple Summer,” (Company.) Vocal arrangements are by Annmarie Milazzo, and the band consists of Christian Hebel (violin,) Diana Wade (viola,) and Tim Loo (cello.)

This outstanding production, wonderfully choreographed

by Spencer Liff, is framed by Dane Laffrey’s excellent, highly functional set design with movable set pieces that help drive the action forward. He also designed the period costumes.

Ben Stanton’s light design drenches the stage with glorious rich colors, using a variety of lighting devices, bridging the past with the present. Finally, there’s Lucy Mackinnon’s imaginative projection design. She created beautiful backdrops of sparkling stars, snow, and assortment of patterns reflecting the current dramatic moment.

One last observation: Obviously, the hearing-impaired actors cannot hear the applause.

So, how the audience showed its standing ovation approval was by raising their arms high into the air and twirling their fingers. You owe it to yourself to see this rare production, as evenings of theatre like this don’t come around that often. You will probably leave the theatre smiling, but with a little lump in your throat.

FILM PBS DVDs for Dad’s Special Day

BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN

Sunday June 21st is just around the corner, a day to honor Dad in a unique way.

One gift idea that will keep on giving throughout the year is a Blu-ray or DVD on a subject he is especially interested in. Here are a few suggestions from the PBS catalogue of fine programs.

If dad is a history buff, there is the excellent Ken Burns film “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History.” Another history title is “The Sixties: The Decade That Changed the World” from executive producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman or the 2015 Academy Award nominee for the best documentary feature “Last Days in Vietnam.” You can also go further back in time to the court of Henry VIII and learn about the history of his reign, which was filled with danger, treason and intrigue. There are two titles on that subject: “Wolf.

For the first time, their individual stories have been interwoven into a single narrative. It begins with Theodore’s birth in 1858 and ends with Eleanor’s death in 1962. The seven-part, fourteenhour film spans more than a century. Theodore becomes the 26th president of the United States, and his beloved niece Eleanor marries his fifth cousin, Franklin, who goes on to become our 32nd president.

The series details the history the Roosevelts helped to shape from the creation of National Parks and the digging of the Panama Canal to the passage of innovative New Deal programs, the defeat of Hitler and the postwar struggle for civil rights at home and human rights abroad.

The narrator is Peter Coyote, with Paul Giamatti as Theodore Roosevelt, Edward Herrmann as FDR and Meryl Streep giving voice to Eleanor.

“Inside the Court of Henry VIII” will be available June 16, still in time for Fathers Day. Journey back in time to visit the castles where Henry lived and learn more about the vicious rivalries and conspiracies that characterized his court.

Steven Schuknecht smashed a clutch RBI single. Cody Finley, the runner on second, got thrown out trying to score and the Aztecs walked off the field with the 2-0 lead.

In just his sophomore year, Estrada has turned into a stud ace for the Aztecs. In 13 appearances, the UCLA commit went 10-2 and had three complete games. Additionally, the phenom ended the year with a 0.31 ERA, 76 strikeouts and 68 innings pitched. Despite all his achievements, the stage might have been a bit too big for the young man.

Estrada started the game but he did not last until the end. In the bottom frame of the same inning, the Sea Hawks came roaring back in a big way. Redondo Union scored four runs, knocking Estrada out of the game.

“It wasn’t like they were hitting him,” Aztecs head coach Darol Salazar said in a post-game intrview. “It was too many bases on balls, and then a key hit. It hurts.”

Bash came in to pitch to try to keep the Aztecs in the game, and with no outs, did a solid job in a tough situation. The senior gave up one walk, however, and the deficit extended to 5-2.

After giving up another run in the bottom of the fourth, the Aztecs tried to muster up one last comeback. Palm Desert added another run in the top of the when a Beau Berryhill double scored Johnny Cuevas to bring the DVL champs to within three.

The Aztecs had the heart of the order batting in the top of the seventh but went quietly.

“One of our strengths all year has been our pitching, and we June 5, 2015

just couldn’t throw strikes today,” Coach Salazar said after the game. “It’s hard to come back in the playoffs when you get four runs behind, but they battled all the way, and I’m proud of them for that.”

The Aztecs did battle, and they battled all season. They might not have reached the

championship, which in the eyes of the Aztecs is a lost season, but it was still successful overall.

Palm Desert won league for the seventh consecutive year, lost only on game and won over 25 – it was a great year.

rom “just-because” gatherings to birthday blowouts and major holidays, you’ll have everything you need to personalize your party with these quick party tricks.

Follow easy drop-by-drop QuickCount flavor recipes to make unique flavor-infused desserts, like Horchata Cupcakes and Coconut Creme Brulee Cookies and 30 more unique recipes.

Decorate with Color

Color adds a pop of personality to any party.

Kick it up a notch with a customized color palette that matches your unique party theme.

Use the new Wilton Color Right Color System to take the guesswork out of coloring icing, fondant, cake batter and other treats. You can easily mix the colors you need to coordinate sweet treats to match your party decor.

Unlike traditional food coloring, the Wilton Color Right performance color system includes eight bottles of ultra-concentrated base color and precise QuickCount color formulas to make mixing and matching color a piece of cake.

QuickCount color formulas show you drop by drop how to whip up precise shades of color to match unique party decor, logos and themed character cakes. Plus, new color formulas are added to www.Wilton.com and you can create custom colors.

Another impressive, yet easy, decorating trick is a three color icing swirl, which is easy to achieve using the new Color Swirl Tri-Color Coupler. It’s quick, easy and looks professional.

Now that your treats are personalized for the party, it’s time to show them off. The Display Your Way Cupcake Stand is fit for any occasion. The fillable core is perfect for incorporating fun party details like ribbon, candy and even matching napkins. The adjustable treat tower serves five to 25 cupcakes, so you can display the perfect number of treats for your guests.

Similarly, the Display Your Way cake stand has a customizable center compartment that makes it fun and easy to match your party from top to bottom. Fill the center compartment with unique details like graduation tassels, photographs or other unique party elements. Use the clear side sleeve to fit a ribbon or craft paper around the side.

Simple Swirls

For an easy way to make impressive cupcakes topped with a two- or three-color swirl, there’s a new tool to help make less mess and create more consistent results.

Wilton’s Color Swirl Tri-Color Coupler joins two or three decorating bags using flat-sided coupler pieces that connect, creating a flush seam with a snug fit, allowing you to use up to three colors to create cleaner, more defined multi-color icing swirls.
