What's Happening Around Town for June 30, 2013
What Am I Hearing? The Aural Life of the TheatreJoin LA Stage Alliance and the Geffen Playhouse this Monday July 1st for What Am I Hearing? The Aural Life of the Theatre, the latest in the series of industry events. Composers. Music Directors. Arrangers. Sound Designers. Sound Engineers. So many different artists and technicians are intimately involved in what you HEAR when you attend the theatre. But what do they all do and how do they work together? How can you tell who created that particular bit of auditory magic that worked so well to tell the story? In this interactive session, including samples of music and sound from a variety of LA artists and productions, sound-based artists will shine a light into the inner workings of how they collaborate every day. Speakers include Darryl Archibald, John Ballinger and Drew Dalzell. Moderated by Terence McFarland, CEO of LA StageAlliance. Click Here to RSVP for this FREE event.
The Troubies will go Walkin’ in a One-Hit Winter Warlock Wonderland this holiday season as they return to the Falcon Theatre with a brand new musical.

The show runs Dec. 4 – Jan. 19, 2014, with opening night set for Friday, Dec. 13.
Garry Marshall has also announced the rest of the season, which celebrates both new and classic comedy. Impro Theatre’s Twilight Zone Unscripted kicks off the season with an homage to Rod Serling’s sci-fi series The Twilight Zone by creating new never-before-seen and never-to-be-seen again episodes with every performance. Next, you’ll enter a haunted estate on a dark and stormy spoof-filled night in the side-splitting satire The Mystery of Irma Vep, complete with werewolves, vampires and damsels in distress. In the New Year, get ready to have your heart stolen during Bunny Bunny – Gilda Radner: A Sort of Romantic Comedy, a hilarious and personal story of the playwright’s friendship with one of America’s most beloved comediennes. And finally, The Last Act of Lilka Kadison closes the season with a humorous journey about grace in the face of loss as we spend an afternoon with Lilka Kadison while she wrestles with the ghosts of her past and present seventy years after she fled Poland on the eve of World War II.

Performance Riverside Concludes Season with CHICAGO
Kander & Ebb’s CHICAGO is Performance Riverside’s grand finale to its 2011-2012 season and is playing now through June 10th. Bob Fosse choreographed the original production and also co-wrote the book with Fred Ebb. Producing Artistic Director Matt Neves directs the production, with choreography by Valerie Rachelle and Rhett Guter and musical direction by Scott Smith.
Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the story lampoons corruption in the administration of criminal justice, and the concept of the "celebrity criminal". The musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins about actual criminals and crimes she reported on. In this razor sharp satire set in roaring twenties Chicago, chorus girl Roxie Hart murders her faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal.
Performance Riverside’s cast has Chelsea Franko in the role of Roxie Hart, Ayelet Firstenberg as Velma Kelly, Jason Webb as Billy Flynn, Jamie Snyder as Amos Hart, Kami Crump as Momma Morton, Chris Sands as Mary Sunshine, and an ensemble including Dominique Araiza, Erica Beck, Heather Biede, Tyler Burk, David St. Pierre, Bryan Martinez, Alyx Michele, Robert Parkison, Clifford Plummer, Cesare G. Quintero, Kirklyn Robinson, Salisha Thomas and Matt Wiley.
Performances are at Landis Performing Arts Center, 4800 Magnolia Avenue in Riverside. For more information and to purchase tickets contact the box office at 951-222-8100 or visit www.performanceriverside.org.
