IER New Play Student Showcase Tartuffe Arabian Nights October 23-25, 2015 By Molière Adapted by David Ball Directed by Terry Donovan Smith Barnes Theatre: Nov. 13 - 22, 2015 Palm Desert Campus: Dec. 5 & 6, 2015 STUDENT NEW PLAY SHOWCASE Oct. 23-25, 2015 The season kicks off with the Student New Play Showcase, a celebration of the creativity of new and aspiring student playwrights. Featuring never-before seen plays, these intimate stories are read by a talented cast of actors in the Black Box Theatre. The plays will be delivered in their rawest form: no costumes, props, or sets – just an emotional performance with a focus on the material. The Student New Play Showcase is a limited, 3-day only engagement with performances Oct. 23-25, 2015. TARTUFFE Weekend of Dec. 5 Following the new plays is a wickedly powerful and provocative take on an old tale, Tartuffe, by Molière. This comedic classic from 1664 was the center of great controversy and censorship upon its release, and has now been masterfully adapted by David Ball, making it just as relevant and poignant as the day it first debuted. When a seemingly pious Tartuffe assimilates himself into the wealthy Orgon family, he gains access to the family’s home, throwing everyone into turmoil. As Orgon falls for the scoundrel’s ruse, Tartuffe’s deceit takes a dangerous turn. Tartuffe will be directed by theatre department chair Terry Donovan Smith. As it happens, it was in 1990 that Ron Barnes, for whom the theatre was named in 2004, directed the same play. Barnes was a founding faculty member when the college opened in 1965 and founded the Theatre Arts Department 43 years ago in 1972. Tartuffe opens Nov. 13, 2015, running for nine performances through Nov. 22, when the show will pick up and move to the Palm Desert Campus for three additional performances the weekend of Dec. 5.

Deana Carter October 24 Drenched in sun-kissed natural beauty both inside and out, Deana Carter didn’t take a seemingly easy route to stardom, but instead chose to defy the conventional expectations of the typical Nashville artist blueprint and make her own mark. And she did, undeniably taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi-platinum international debut “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” more than a decade ago. Anchored by the dreamy super hit “Strawberry Wine,” Carter showcased her own blend of country and retro-rock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered Deana Carter well-deserved respect and wild acclaim. Today, as she readies her latest bundle of uniquely crafted tunes for upcoming release on Southern Way of Life, Carter explores many subjects commonly shared over a quaint dinner, afternoon coffee or a sunny day hike with a good friend. The songs weave through the sometimes rocky terrain of adulthood, including loss of love, relationships on many different levels, trials, tribulations and simply put – life. Instinctively autobiographical, the subject matter mimics the interesting ride of Carter’s own life – so far. IER Deana Carter performs at The Cave on Oct. 24. Continued from page 20 THE ARABIAN NIGHTS April 8-10 In winter 2016, the Theatre Arts Department presents The Arabian Nights, by Mary Zimmerman.

Will her tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams prove enough to stay her cruel husband’s blade? With the recurring theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people, this adaptation offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights, with a final scene taking the audience on a journey to modern-day Baghdad and the dangers threatening the culture’s vibrant history. The Arabian Nights, directed by Professor Kathryn Ervin, opens March 11, 2016, and runs for nine performances in the Barnes Theatre at CSUSB before landing at the Indian Wells Theater on the Palm Desert Campus for an additional three performances, April 8-10.

IER Theater & Arts CATS Presents Its Original Adaptation Of ‘A Christmas Carol’ The Big Bear Production Features Dickens Himself T he Community Arts Theater Society of Big Bear Valley (CATS) announced that it will present its original stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol, beginning Friday, November 13th at the Big Bear Lake Performing Arts Center. The show plays a total of 11 performances with 7:30pm shows on Nov. 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27 and 28 and 1:30pm matinees on Nov. 15, 22 and 29. All performances are reserved seating and prices range from $17 to $29 for Adults, $16 to $27 for Seniors and $11 to $20 for Students/ Children, depending on date and location of seats. Tickets are now on sale through the CATS website at www.bigbeartheater. org or at the PAC Box office at 909866-4970. This new adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic was specially adapted for CATS by its director, Karen Sargent Rachels, and was originally presented in 2009. Rachels was inspired by a chance remark from an Antiques Roadshow appraiser of a letter written by Charles Dickens, telling a member of Royalty that he, himself, was unable to procure tickets to one of his sold-out concert readings for her. The Roadshow appraiser mentioned that tickets to a Dickens reading was like trying to get tickets to a Bruce Springsteen concert today. Further research indicated that Dickens made two trips to America, also doing a series of concert readings of his works. From this premise, this CATS adaptation of A Christmas Carol, featuring the on-stage character of Charles Dickens, was born. The CATS adaptation also features a real-life encounter of Dickens and a young Mark Twain in 1868 at Steinway Hall in New York. Because of Dickens’ on-stage narration, much of his original booknarrative is retained in this version, and is brought to life on the PAC revolving stage by a cast of over 60 actors of all ages. It promises to be a special delight to tried-and-true Dickens fans. Another CATS innovation for this stage production is the involvement of the Clock Sprites, a group of mischievous sprites who live in The Clock and help the spirits redeem Mr. Scrooge. CATS is well known for the quality of its productions and will feature original sets designed by Joanne McMaster and re-built by Bob Perry and his crew. Karen Sargent Rachels is DirectorProducer, with Karen Bergmann as Associate Producer. Costumes are designed by Priscilla Anderson with Lighting Design by Joanne McMaster and Melinda Garcia. Garcia is also Assistant To The Producer and Adam McDonald is Production Coordinator. This CATS production of A Christmas Carol is “back by popular demand,” after an overwhelming reaction to its production four years ago. This year Robin Field, who played Scrooge for CATS in the last production, will star as Dickens. Director Rachels says: “We realized that the timeless and inspiring story of A Christmas Carol could be presented traditionally every few years or so. This original play with music is faithful to Dickens, and we wanted to make sure the show would hold some surprises for our repeat patrons and newcomers as well. It is a very special play with music, filled with holiday magic for the whole family. I think this original adaptation and new production will bring its own special magic to our holiday season this year.” IER October, 2015 Inland Entertainment Review 23 Theater & Arts THEATRE & ARTS EVENT GUIDE Send your events to ier@inlandreview.com or go online to www.inlandreview.com.

Photo by Zachary Sokol T he Chaffey College Theater Department presents the story of Helen Keller in the production of The Miracle Worker by William Gibson, directed by Christa El-Said. The story of Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, is a gripping and emotional story brought to the stage. Helen is spoiled and violent. Assigned to be her teacher, Annie sees the potential in Helen and sets out to rescue her from her world of darkness and misunderstanding. The show is emotionally and physically dynamic which especially proves true when Annie succeeds in breaking through to Helen. One simple, yet glorious, word, “water,” opens the flood gates to language and communication. Helen’s silence is broken. The original Broadway production won a Tony Award for Best Play in 1960, along with Tony Awards including Best Direction, Scenic Design, and Best Actress (Anne Bancroft). “I am so lucky to be working with such a talented cast as well as talented children,” said cast member Jordan Romero. “And a dog too!” “This show will inspire anyone going through any sort of darkness,” said stage technician Christa McGowan. “I know it inspired me.” Word Mill FULL SERVICE GRAPHIC DESIGN g Ads Eye-Catchin rint imedia, & P Digital, Mult s & Magazine Newsletters t Programs Special Even tes Smart Websi sters Flyers, & Po , s re u h c ro B ore! rheads, & M e tt e L , s o g o L IF YOU CAN VIEW IT, WE CAN DO IT!
