Purple Room Books TV Icons Shirley Jones & Patrick Cassidy VIRGIN AMERICA LETS MODERNISM FLY Airline Known for its Stylish Flights Teams Up with Modernism Week to Launch Unique Mid-Century Modern Exhibit at Its Palm Springs Airport Gate Travelers Can Also Enter for a Chance to Win a Getaway to Palm Springs and VIP Access to Modernism Week Festivities* Motion picture, stage and television icon, Shirley Jones will appear with her son, Patrick Cassidy at the famed Purple Room Palm Springs in four very special performances presented by Dick Taylor on February 11th, 12th and 13th at 7 PM, and, again on February 14th at 1 PM. The intimate setting of this legendary nightclub offers guests an up-close and personal musical and historic experience with these great performers. At her first audition in New York, Ms. Jones sang for composer Richard Rogers, who asked her to stay in the theatre so his partner, Oscar Hammerstein, could also see and hear her. It was a life-changing experience for Jones, as she was immediately signed to the only personal contract anyone had ever had with the famous team, and as a result, her career skyrocketed. Virgin America, the California-based airline known for bringing the fun and style back to flying, and Modernism Week, an annual festival in Palm Springs that highlights the mid-century modern design that Palm Springs is known for, are partnering to create an interactive vintage modern exhibit at the airline’s gate at Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) during the festival from February 11-21, <strong>2016</strong>. In a nod to the golden age of flying and Virgin America’s own stylish flight experience, the partners have teamed up to design a chic, mid-century take on the traditional airport gate <strong>through</strong> a unique realworld exhibit that will include late 1960s era lounge chairs with matching ottomans, tables and Lucite lamps – all set atop a chic mod rug at the airline’s PSP gate. Designed by Marc Joseph of the Wonderama vintage furniture and art boutique in Palm Springs – which launched during Modernism Week 2015 – flyers traveling to Palm Springs during this year’s Modernism Week on Virgin America will be stepping back in time. The gate exhibit will also include a custom-made backdrop by Los Angeles artist, Nat Reed, who is renowned internationally for his interpretations of the “Familiar Modern.” Reed’s last show, “Post-Fabricated, Reimagining the Already,” was a highlight of Modernism Week last year. “The City of Palm Springs is thrilled Virgin America and Modernism Week, two globally famous brands known for incredible style and sophistication, have partnered to celebrate the magic of ultra-cool Palm Springs and all that our legendary resort destination has to offer,” said Mayor Robert Moon. “It’s just more proof Palm Springs truly is like no place else.” Virgin America first launched its service to Palm Springs in 2011. The airline has since expanded its seasonal PSP service to daily nonstop service six days a week from SFO-PSP as well as nonstop flight service from PSP-JFK. Virgin America is known for its signature mood-lit aircraft and stylish design with three custom-designed classes of service, touch-screen personal entertainment and an on-demand food and cocktail menu on every flight. Virgin America has been named the “Best Domestic Airline” in both Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards for the past eight consecutive years. Jones was cast in the film Oklahoma in the role of Laurie, followed by starring roles in Carousel, The Music Man and April Love. In a departure from movie musicals, she created the dramatic role of prostitute Lulu Baines, playing opposite Burt Lancaster in the film Elmer Gantry, winning her first Oscar. Jones then was cast in the role that made her a household name, as the harried head of The Partridge Family in the popular television series that ran for four year. Since then, Jones has appeared in dozens of movies, television and stage roles, including a record-breaking Broadway revival of 42nd Street. She’s earned three Emmy nominations, and performs at standing-room only (SRO) symphony concerts and speaking engagements <strong>through</strong>out the United States and the world. Patrick Cassidy is Shirley Jones’ middle son, and is a highly regarded actor, singer and director. Last summer, he starred in A Little Night Music for the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. He had the honor of recreating the role his father, Jack Cassidy, originated in 1966 at the Dallas Theatre Company’s production of It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman. Cassidy starred opposite Patti LuPone in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway and played the lead role of Julian Marsh in 42nd Street (starring opposite his mother). Other Broadway credits include Aida, Pirates of Penzance and Leader of the Pack. Cassidy’s film credits include Longtime Companion, I’ll Do Anything, I Won’t Dance and Burning Love. On television, he has made appearances on such shows as Law and Order, Bay City Blues, Smallville and Dirty Dancing. Shirley Jones and Patrick Cassidy are a must-see combination of entertainment, music and memories. Dick Taylor Presents has been working with the Purple Room to bring in some of the biggest acts in the business.
