By Desert Star Staff Palm Desert, CA. The McCallum Theatre presents Cabaret for seven performances, Wednesday, March 28, through Sunday, April 1. The Saturday March 31 performance at 2:00pm is presented through the generosity of Robert and Sharlene Britz.

Based on Roundabout Theatre Company’s Tony Award-winning production,

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The 8th Annual Warburton Golf Tournament and galas, Four Days of Fun, was held on March 1st thru March 4th.

The Warburton as everyone calls it is one of the best ways to spend four days of golf and parties and help a great cause. The event raises money for St. Judes children’s hospital. They have raised over 7 million dollars since it started and they raised over 2.2 Million dollars last year.

The hope was to increase even more this year, and they accomplished that goal.

The event starts with a Songwriters night where top songwriters play the songs they have written that are the songs everyone knows. This is one

night where guests get to know the men that have written the songs they know and love. The next day is golf on two courses as the event has grown where two sessions are needed for all the people playing. The classes are performed at the Marriott Desert Springs course and the Classic Club course. The golfers play both courses on Sat. and Sun. There is an awards ceremony on Sunday after play at the Classic Club Golf Course.

Each foursome has one celebrity playing with them.

Before long he had three shows on Broadway bearing his name: The Warm Peninsula starring Julie Harris, and two musicals She Loves Me and Cabaret, for which he was the book writer.

‘I, Tonya’--A Dark Comedy About A Sports Scandal Ice skating events are always an Olympic highlight. They represent the embodiment of skill, athletic prowess and grace under pressure. In Universal Pictures “I, Tonya,” nominated for three Academy Awards, we go behind the scenes of one of the most sensational sports scandals that involved figure skaters Tonya Harding and her skating rival, Nancy Kerrigan.

On Jan. 6, 1994 Nancy Kerrigan suffered an attack by an assailant hired by Harding’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan, ”Captain America” franchise). Eventually the public held Tonya in contempt as well, believing she too was an accomplice in the sordid attack on Kerrigan.

She denied the accusations, but the public’s ire ended her blossoming career. This was unfortunate because Tonya was very talented and was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, but her legacy was forever tarnished following the assault on Nancy Kerrigan.

The film begins when Tonya is very small. Her mother LaVona decides to have her learn how to ice skate and from the very beginning she warns Tonya not to befriend any of the other little girls in her class, telling her they are her rivals.

Her mother (Allison Janney, who won a 2018 Golden Globe for her performance) also warns Tonya to focus only on her skating because she’s paying good money for her lessons--this is not play time.

Her father is more supportive. The two of them go for walks and he teaches her how to shoot a gun and treats her to ice cream. When he eventually leaves home little Tonya cries, begging him to stay. As he reluctantly drives away she realizes she is now alone with her mother.

Margot Robbie,who stars as Tonya, is a contender in the Best Actress category and Janney is a nominee for Best Supporting Actress. The film’s third Oscar nomination is for Best Film Editing.

“I, Tonya” was directed

by Craig Gillespie (“Lars and the Real Girl.”) and is now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Bonus features on the Blu-ray, DVD and digital include: Deleted Scenes, Behind the Scenes, Feature Commentary with Director Craig Gillespie and trailers.

“I, Tonya” is rated R for pervasive language, violence, some sexual

content/nudity. Running time 2 hours, 1 minute.

For the younger set, check out the DVD “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” based on the bestselling children’s book of the same name by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury. In the story a group of siblings and their dog Rufus wake up one

day and decide to go off on an adventure and look for bears.

But when Rosie and the dog Rufus get separated from the rest of the family their search for bears becomes much more than they expected.

The DVD also has several Special Features--”Painting the Bear Hunt” and “The Making of The Bear Hunt.”

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $655,945.02 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 061886CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 CLEAR RECON CORP 4375 Jutland Drive San Diego, California 92117.

On The Beach With Film Independent Spirit Awards

L-R: Nick Kroll and John Mulaney co-host the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards held in a big tent on the beach in Santa Monica Photo by: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images SHOT 2 CAPTION: L-R: Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon receive the Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay - “The Big Sick.” Photo by: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images What threatened to be a rainy, windy day turned out to be quite the opposite as the god of sunshine beamed his light down on the still damp, but beautiful Santa Monica Beach, once again home to Film Independent Spirit Awards. Now in its 33rd year, Film Independent is a nonprofit arts organization that encourages independent visual storytelling and supports a community of artists who embody diversity, innovation, and unique vision. Journalists from around the world gather to cover this annual celebration honoring the filmmakers who obtain financing outside of the studio system, and therefore are not constricted by studio demands. This allows them to make films that are true to their artistic vision and the Film Independent Spirit Awards honors their achievements.

With Nick Kroll and John Mulaney presiding over this entertaining non-black tie ceremony, celebrity guests and honorees showed up for the pre-show lunch in the

familiar Big Tent more dressed than the usual torn jeans with knees poking through. With no language restrictions, the co-hosts took full comic advantage in both delivering prepared jokes and off-the-cuff remarks, including comments on the epidemic of sexual misconduct with some mention of yes, Harvey Weinstein. The “anything goes” is at the heart of the Film Independent Spirit Awards and is what makes it unique, relaxed, and fun.

Among some of the presenters were, Fred Armisen, Chadwick Boseman, Alison Brie, Timothée Chalamet, Ava DuVernay, Joseph GordonLevitt, Danai Gurira, Jon Hamm, Ethan Hawke, Spike Lee, Ben Mendelsohn, Janelle Monáe, Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Olsen, Robert Pattinson, Salma Hayek Pinault, Margot Robbie, Amanda Seyfried, Molly Shannon, Sarah Silverman, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Lena Waithe. Sunflower Bean was the house band.

So once again, thousands of dishes were cleared away and the tents were folded up until next year when Film Independent Spirit Awards would once again return to the little city by the sea to bring its own special brand of celebrating the world of outstanding independent filmmakers. As far as the weather, it held up just about until the end of the day when the skies suddenly darkened, the temperature dipped, the wind began to blow, and tiny droplets sprinkled on the departing guests.

Following is a complete list of the winners: Best Feature: Get Out (Universal Pictures) Producers: Jason Blum, Edward H. Hamm Jr., Sean McKittrick, Jordan Peele Best Director: Jordan Peele, Get Out (Universal Pictures)

L-R: Greta Gerwig who won the Best Screenplay Spirit Award for “Lady Bird’ with fellow director Jordan Peele who scored both Best Director and Best Features awards for “Get Out.”
