{ AFTER }

Inside the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena hung a poster of Bruce Springsteen standing on stage in front of a packed house with the tagline, "The Dump that Jumps is Going Out in Style!" Demolition of the 56-year-old venue is scheduled for April 2016 to make way for a new soccer arena. The Boss bid farewell to a place where he performed an estimated 36 times by playing its last three shows, and I was fortunate enough to score tickets for my son and I. I first saw Springsteen at the Arena in 1984 and I’ve witnessed some amazing performances there since, including U2 in '87 and Nirvana opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in ‘91. As an iconic venue that’s provided many fond memories for legions of Southern Californians, my son and I now share the indelible moment of watching Bruce sing “Wrecking Ball”…the last song played at the L.A. Sports Arena's last show. Our annual Summer Camp Guide is back in this month's issue. Acting Academy for Kids, featured on our cover and in the camp section, is the perfect place to keep your child engaged and entertained all year long. This performing arts academy, for kids ages 4 to 17, offers classes in acting, voice, musical theater, and film while also hosting an array of fun summer camps. Learn more about Stephen and Maggie Zygo’s fullservice academy and the programs it offers on page 8. Thank you for reading The Local DISH Magazine!

COVER STORY

Acting Academy for Kids is fast becoming a hub for the arts in South Orange County, while still remaining an integral part of the local scene. The Academy has even added a professional recording department, Academy Voice, where sound engineer Kevin Spiro assists students in creating professionally produced music.

ACTING ACADEMY IT’S TIME TO WATCH YOUR

STAR SHINE!

As AA4K is in the midst of exciting new developments and opportunities, Stephen reiterates that his focus will always be on the kids. “Most of the fourth graders who started with me back in 2008 are now graduating from high school,” says Stephen. “It’s so awesome to watch alumni graduate and come back to the Academy either as employees or volunteers. That’s incredibly fulfilling. This Academy is about the joy we bring into their lives. At the end of the day, it really needs to be fun.” Whether kids have a passion for acting or are just testing the waters, Acting Academy for Kids creates a supportive, fun environment where students of all ages can gain confidence, build teamwork skills, and discover the joy of performing. For more information on Acting Academy for Kids’ summer camps, film academy, classes, satellite programs, and participation in the musical Alice in Wonderland, visit ActingAcademyForKids.com.

BY VERONICA BADZEY

When Stephen and Maggie Zygo opened Acting Academy for Kids in 2008 at the Camino Real Playhouse in San Juan Capistrano, they wanted to create a fun, positive environment for kids where they felt like part of a family. For Stephen, acting has always been a family business. He performed in his first musical, Peter Pan, with his brother, J. Michael Zygo, in elementary school. As the Zygo family grows, with the birth of their 2nd child, Jesse, on March 19th, so has the success and expanded offerings at the Academy. The Zygos both have Masters Degrees in education and use their substantial experience as educators to inform their teaching philosophy. Acting Academy for Kids (AA4K) only employs teachers who have spent significant time in a classroom setting, with professional credentials in the industry. According to Stephen, “Other schools will bring in high-profile performers from Broadway or West End musical theater gurus, but that does not necessarily translate into competency in the classroom.” Acting Academy for Kids is a full-service, performing arts academy for kids ages 4 to 17, with classes in acting, voice, musical theater, and its newest addition, film. This year’s Spring Film Project, the restaurant-themed Family Style Dinner, introduces students to “the vernacular of being on set,” complete with auditions, callbacks, and time on camera. Young actors

are supported by a Hollywood crew led by writer/director Brian Stevens, and receive professional Internet Movie Database (IMDB) credits, along with their own acting reel. The movie premieres at a red-carpet extravaganza at San Juan Capistrano’s Regency Theater on the silver screen. The film program extends into the summer with the launch of AA4K’s four-week Film Academy. Kids in each week-long camp will have a blast producing their own short film that will be showcased at a gala screening at the Regency Theater in front of family, friends and the SJC film community. In addition to the new film camp, every summer the Academy hosts its popular ten-week Musical Theater Camp, featuring weekly themes such as Be a Star War, Jungle Book Adventure and Minions. Students ages 4 to 13 take multiple classes in music, acting, and dance, culminating in a Friday afternoon performance on the Playhouse mainstage. The musical theater program continues throughout the school year and is currently taking registrations for a family-friendly version of Alice in Wonderland. AA4K presents four Broadway musicals a year, allowing students to perform in an authentic playhouse equipped with professional sets, lighting, and sound.

RCMC WEIGHT LOSS OC

HCG • LIPO INJECTIONS • NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING • TESTOSTERONE

Imagine your ideal self. Would you weigh less? Have more energy? No longer struggle with chronic fatigue? The wellness team at RCMC Weight Loss is there to guide you so you can take control of your life and get healthy. Whether you need assistance with medical weight loss, nutritional counseling, or increasing stamina, they can help. For many years, the clinic has aided many patients to successfully lose weight, regain energy and keep the weight off. The clinic’s approach to wellness is truly transformative and the doctors and staff are excited to share their approach with you. “Being overweight is a medical condition, and we treat it as one,” say Dr. Richard Mantell, owner and operator of RCMC Weight Loss OC in San Juan Capistrano. “Our patients’ chances of losing weight will be significantly higher using the program at RCMC Weight Loss rather than doing it on their own.” “Losing weight is much more than just diet and exercise. It is simply overwhelming without guidance and direction,” adds Jennifer Mantell, co-operator in the business. “Our program provides a private nutritional counselor to help keep our clients ac-

countable for achieving their weight loss goals. Many patients have failed numerous times in their past dieting attempts, but are amazed when they find real success at RCMC Weight Loss.” Dr. Mantell and his team can help you lose one pound a day for up to 45 days, and more importantly, keep it off. They start with determining the underlying problem for your weight gain. For many patients, eating healthy and exercising is not enough to take off the pounds. RCMC’s cutting-edge medical weight loss treatments include integrating HCG injections, lipo injections, appetite control medication and nutritional counseling. The medically prescribed injections protect your lean muscle mass while turning your body into a fat-burning machine. HCG is part of a fast track medical weight loss program which helps patients drop pounds fast and feel more energetic than they have in years. Most notably, nutrition counseling and lifestyle advice helps patients correct negative habits that may have led to their weight gain in the first place, so the pounds stay off for good.

Richard Mantell, MD & his wife Jennifer

RCMC’s wellness team provides nutritional counseling and lifestyle advice. Their patient-proven results show that their programs deliver positive results. Obviously RCMC points out that results may vary by individuals, but they firmly believe that by proactively addressing and correcting unhealthy eating habits in combination with their medically supervised programs, they can help patients down the path to permanent weight loss. RCMC’s wellness team is committed to helping every patient embrace a healthy, positive lifestyle.

Call (949) 267-3885 today to schedule your complimentary consultation and diagnostic appointment.

TESTOSTERONE

START UP SPECIAL Testosterone, a hormone produced by your testes, starts decreasing by the time you’re in your early 30’s. Some men have no ill effects of decreased levels while others seem to experience every known symptom and then some. Do any of these problems sound familiar? Low Energy | Lost Muscle Tone | Low Sex-Drive | Erectile Dysfunction Mood Fluctuations | Depression | Inability To Concentrate A simple blood test is essential for Dr. Mantell to know where your hormone levels stand in relation to other men your age. He will also consider your current lifestyle, unrelated health concerns, and several other factors before deciding if testosterone hormone replacement will be beneficial for you. Call today for a FREE consultation!

Testimonials from parents tell the story: Tamar Hauptman shared, “All four of our kids have been attending Nellie Gail’s camp over the past 10 years and absolutely love it!” Kim Villanueva adds, “When I picked up my daughter on the first day she pulled me aside and said, ‘Mom this was the best camp I have ever been too.’” (see p. 23)

BY VERONICA BADZEY

El Adobe de Capistrano invites you to stay awhile. Relax, let the attentive staff take care of you, and enjoy a break from the daily grind with a classic margarita, glass of wine, or your favorite beverage. Wood paneled ceilings, iron railings, and tall, airy windows create a warm, gracious ambience that captures the essence of old world hospitality. Those familiar with the local area need no introduction to the restaurant’s rich history. El Adobe was a favorite spot of former President Richard Nixon during his administration. It’s said that the Mexican dishes prepared exclusively for him by the chef inspired the restaurant’s transition from continental to Mexican cuisine. Located in the heart of San Juan Capistrano, one block from the Mission and Los Rios Historic District, El Adobe has been recognized as a California State Historical Landmark. The walls forming its cocktail lounge were once part of the original Miguel Yorba Adobe. Chef Carlos Gutierrez sources only fresh, top quality ingredients, which is evident in his dishes. We started our lunch with light and crispy chips and El Adobe’s irresistible salsa and addictive guacamole. The house guacamole was prepared tableside with whole avocadoes spiced to our liking - mild, medium, or hot – then swirled with a fork and topped with queso fresco. We also sampled the Ceviche, beautifully seasoned to allow its natural ocean flavors to shine through. Main course portions are generous and come with tortillas, rice, and either pinto, black, or charro beans, a delicious vegetarian option made with fresh tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. The Fajitas are a customer favorite, served sizzling on a cast iron skillet in a savory marinade that highlights the meat’s flavor and tenderness. The tasty Carne Asada, 8 ounces of mesquite grilled Top Sirloin, came drizzled with zesty Argentinian chimichurri sauce, a colorful assortment of crisp, steamed vegetables, and fluffy Mexican rice. For dessert, the Sweet Plantains in bourbon caramel sauce was the height of decadence. The Caramel Churros, always a big hit with kids, were a sweet, crunchy treat filled with creamy caramel, coated in cinnamon sugar and served with a scoop of ice cream. Along with its extensive menu, El Adobe features catering and banquet options that can be customized to meet your individual needs. Multiple private dining rooms and an inviting covered courtyard make it a preferred venue for special events and weddings.
