The 17th Annual Susan G. Komen Inland
Empire Race For The Cure
Takes Place Oct. 18
R
egister Today for the 17th Annual Susan G.
Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure
Sunday, Oct. 18, at The Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium! “The theme for the Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure is There’s A Hero
In All Of Us and we know this is certainly true for
everyone fighting this disease on all fronts,” stated
Katie Parker, Executive Director.
Changes are coming. Check the website for
details, but here are some of the updates: New
for 2015 are the 10K Run, Suzy’s Tulip Garden
(honor and celebration garden), Doctors for the
Cure, and a food court Race day. The Survivor
Ceremony has been moved to 10am (after all the
run/walks) so more participants can witness this
awesome celebration of life and pick the run/walk
they want to enjoy with family and friends.
Your support is crucial for the Komen Inland
Empire Affiliate to continue their mission work
throughout the Inland Empire. Where does
the money go? Seventy-five percent of the net
proceeds from the Race and other year round
donations stay in the Inland Empire for mission
programs and grants to nonprofits for education,
outreach and vital programs and services for those
in need in our communities while 25 percent
supports research. “We, at Susan G. Komen
Inland Empire, are so grateful for your passion
and dedication for our Promise: to save lives and
end breast cancer forever, by empowering people,
ensuring quality care for all and energizing science
to find the cures”!

hen night falls at the Big
Bear Alpine Zoo, scents
linger longer in the still air
and the zoo becomes alive with the
sights and sounds of the nocturnal
cycle of the creatures of the night.
Nocturnal animals have highly developed senses of hearing, sight and
smell, which are specially adapted to
make the most of night-illumination.
Some daytime animals share the best
of both worlds and remain active,
even after dusk.
Each Friday and Saturday during
the month of October (weather permitting), Big Bear Alpine Zoo will
host its Flashlight Safaris, a unique
tour which explores the more active
side of their animals during twilight
and dusk.
Gates open at 6:30pm and the
tour starts at 7pm; no one will be admitted after 7pm. Exploring the zoo
after dark is an experience of its own.

‘The Just So Stories’
R
iverside Community Players
presents The Just So Stories by
the well-loved author Rudyard
Kipling. This is the first show in the
RCP’s 2015-2016 Family Series.
Ever wonder how the armadillo
came to be or how the elephant got his
trunk? The Just So Stories answer these
questions and more, in five of Rudyard Kipling’s “How the animal came
to be...” tales. These delightful narratives come to life as Kipling’s daughter
and seven of her friends act them out, embodying each character.
Imagination and creativity run wild as the audience is taken through
several locations and adventures of a Parsee with a rhinoceros, a Djinn in his
cloud of dust, and a jaguar who cannot catch his dinner. These wistful kids
transform into camels, kangaroos, birds, snakes, rhinos, and even water!
Audiences of all ages will get caught up in this highly energized and
engaging show.
The Just So Stories runs the weekend of October 9th – 11th. Evening
performances at 8pm and Sunday matinee at 2pm. Call the box office for
tickets and reservations at (951) 686-4030. RCP is located at 4026 Fourteenth St. in Riverside. IER

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.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS
April 8-10
In winter 2016, the Theatre Arts Department
presents The Arabian Nights, by Mary Zimmerman. For 1,001 nights the young maiden
Scheherazade weaves spellbinding tales in an
attempt to prevent her husband, the ruler Shahryar, from executing her. 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.

York City. She is determined to find her parents
who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep
of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel,
22
Annie Jr.!
City of Fontana

Sandy.

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

Chaffey’s ‘The Miracle Worker’ Tells The Story Of Helen Keller
Kaylee Lowrey as Kate and
Brookly Vizcarra as Helen.
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.”
