‘Doors Open 

Riverside’ Offers 

Tours Of Historic

By Scott K. Watson, Assistant Planner 

City of Riverside Historic Preservation Division 

An international movement is coming to Riverside. The City of Riverside, 

in partnership with the Old Riverside Foundation, the Riverside 

Arts Council, the Riverside Downtown Partnership, and the Mission 

Inn Museum and Foundation, are hosting the city’s first Doors Open event. 

Doors Open Days began over 30 years ago in France and has since spread 

across Europe, North America, and Australia. These events provide free access 

to captivating historic sites that are often closed to the public. By opening 

the doors to these architectural gems, event organizers hope to increase 

awareness of historic architecture and the community’s collective heritage. 

On Thursday, May 12th from 6pm to 9pm, fifteen buildings in downtown 

Riverside are opening their doors. Guests will be taken on a riveting 

tour of each exquisite building and will learn about each building’s intriguing 

history. Be sure to stop by one of the six information stations located at: the 

Main Library, Main and Mission Inn, Lemon and Mission Inn, Lemon and 

University, Orange and University, and Mission Inn and Vine. A number of 

downtown restaurants located in historic buildings will be offering specials 

before, during, and after the tours. 

Buildings that will be opening their doors include: Fox Theater, Metropolitan 

Museum, Municipal Auditorium, First Church of Christ Scientist, 

First Congregational Church, Universalist Unitarian Church, Riverside Art 

Museum (former YWCA), the Life Arts Building (former YWCA), the RCC 

Center for Social Justice and Civil Liberties (former Citrus Trust), the Culver 

Center for the Arts (former Rouse Department Store), and the California 

Museum of Photography (former Kress Department Store), the Arcade 

Building occupied by Krieger & Stewart, Loft. 84 in the Aurea Vista Building,

Constructors.

HAVING IT ALL! 

CIRCUS COUPLE FINDS 

PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN 

LIFE AND WORK! 

FLYING HIGH! Yasmin Rivera balances family and work life, both at the circus. 

With so many families having 

both parents in the 

work force, it can be quite 

a challenge to balance the ongoing 

responsibilities of work and home 

life. The struggle between career and 

being home for the kids has been 

debated for decades. Most work 

environments are not family friendly, 

so how can some parents have their 

cake and eat it too? Answer- Join the 

circus! 

Circus Vargas aerialist Yasmin 

Rivera will tell you her family has 

managed to find this happy balance. 

“We are so lucky. We really do have 

it all!” Despite what some might 

consider the challenges, circus life is probably 

the most family friendly work environment one 

could ever imagine and their children are never 

more than a stone’s throw away! 

“It’s an ideal situation,” says Yasmin, “the 

perfect work-life balance. Not only do we spend 

quality time as a family, but we are literally 

together most of the day on a daily basis and 

because the show is made up of families, we 

travel with our own school and teacher.” So 

every morning Yasmin, husband Luis and their 

young son and daughter wake up, have breakfast 

as a family and then walk about 60 feet to the 

schooltrailer. Then, with kids happily in school, 

it is show-time and the couple focuses on 

entertaining the throngs of spectators under the 

Circus Vargas Big Top. After the first performance 

which lasts just under two hours, the 

kids are home for lunch. A quick kiss goodbye 

and it’s back to the teacher for the second half of 

their school day while Yasmin and Luis prepare 

for the next performance. 

“When the show is over we settle down for 

dinner or go to a movie,” says Luis. On the 

weekend the kids watch the show. They learn 

early on, when the show is on mommy and 

daddy are working. They can watch again and 

again and never get bored. They love it. It’s 

better than TV…it’s live entertainment and it’s 

always exciting!” 

Yasmin’s career as an aerialist is a dangerous 

job, but the kids love to watch her perform. 

They have also begun their circus training. 

“They aren’t scared of anything,” laughs Yasmin. 

“They love the circus, it’s their home.” 

Luis, healing from a shoulder injury, quite 

the common occupational hazard when you fly 

on the trapeze for a living, has been working on 

the ground behind the scenes as of late, a less 

dangerous, but still important and often stressful 

job. “I am with my family for every doctor 

appointment, sick day, birthday, etc. Our work 

schedule fits perfectly with whatever 

life brings us. And the normal 

stress everyone deals with at work, 

we have too, but knowing you 

don’t have the added stress and 

guilt of missing family functions 

or family time in general, makes 

everything worth it.” 

Both Yasmin and Luis come 

from generations of circus 

performers. “We feel lucky to be 

able to raise our children in the 

tradition and style that we were 

raised. Coming from big tight-knit 

families means our kids will always 

have a fantastic support system of 

many aunts, uncles and cousins! 

And here on Circus Vargas we feel like family 

so we have really the best of both worlds! We 

travel, perform, live, love and laugh as one big 

extended family.” 

See Yasmin and the entire cast perform in 

Circus Vargas’ 2016 Spectacular – iLUMIOUS, 

an all-new, high-energy extravaganza! Boasting 

death-defying stunts, high-flying aerialists, aweinspiring 

acrobats, and hilarious clowns under 

a music-filled, blue and yellow Big Top, Circus 

Vargas’ iLUMINOUS will appear at three 

Inland Empire locations from April 7 – May 

9, including Temecula (April 7-18), Hesperia 

(April 21-25), and Ontario (April 28 - May 9). 

The animal-free circus offers a complimentary, 

interactive preshow 30 minutes before 

each performance, where children get to try 

their hand at juggling, hula hooping, balancing, 

clowning and much more. IER

Theater & The Arts 

A Place Like No Other 

Where History and the Arts Flourish and the Experience Lasts a Lifetime! 

THE RAMONA PAGEANT Kayla Contreras as Ramona and Joseph Valdez as Alessandro. 

From the time it first began in 1923, California’s most incredible love 

story, Ramona, has been performed in a unique and beautiful natural 

setting at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre. The Ramona Bowl boasts 

amazing acoustical properties and breathtaking natural beauty. That 

combined with this enduring and compelling love story during an early 

California in transition and you have an entertainment experience you will 

never forget. 

The Ramona Bowl is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon on any 

spring day, but when the Ramona Pageant is being presented, it is even 

more special. When coming to the pageant, allow time to drive through 

the scenic countryside and arrive at the bowl as the gates are opening at 

1:30pm. Although the play starts at 3:30pm there are many things to do 

before the actual performance. 

The courtyard of the Ramona Bowl features an outdoor stage where 

dancers and singers entertain before the show. There are vendors and artists 

in the courtyard and one can visit both the gift shop and the museum. 

The museum is a must see with its exhibits from all the past Ramona’s 

going back to 1923. There are examples of how Ramona has influenced 

Ramona performs April 16-17, April 23-24, and April 30-May 

1. For more information, call (951) 658-3111 or go online to 

www.ramonabowl.com. 

the history of California leading it to be a premier vacation spot as tourists 

from the east wanted to experience the romance of the early California 

missions, Native Americans and Mexicanos. The highlight of the museum 

is a fresco done by Milford Zorne and his students. This is the only example 

of a fresco ever done by famous mural painter Zorne. 

If you are hungry before the show there are many delicious choices. 

You can visit the Kiwanis BBQ, The Taco Man or the Ramona concessions 

and eat in the courtyard and enjoy the shows. Or, you can wander up to 

the Ramona Terrace and have a sit down lunch served as you look over the 

most beautiful view of the valley. Enjoy a glass of wine as you listen to the 

music and feel the light breeze in the shadowed spot. 

This year the play will once again present the newer version of the play, 

which was presented last year. The Board of Directors felt it was time to 

update the script to include pieces of California History that people in 

1923 were very familiar with but as time passed people had forgotten how 

America had come to govern the area of California that had once been 

part of Mexico. 

Again this year the role of Alessandro is being played by Joseph Valdez 

who did such a wonderful job last year. This year he is joined by Kayla

CAST ANNOUNCED FOR MAINSTREE 


MIRETTE, OPENING APRIL 23 rd at TH 

Cast Announced For Mainstreet Theatre 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Company Production Of ‘Mirette’ 

March 10, 2016 

The Young Audiences 

Production Opens April 23rd At 

The Lewis Family Playhouse 

MainStreet Theatre Company is pleased 

to announce the cast for the Theatre 

for Young Audiences premiere of 

Mirette, with book by Elizabeth Diggs, music 

by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones. 

Based on the Caldecott winning book by 

Emily Arnold McCully, Mirette is the story 

of a young girl in 1890’s Paris who convinces 

a retired high-wire artist to teach her his 

trade — and in turn teaches him to overcome 

his own fear. Children as well as adults will 

relate to the main character, who is trying to 

figure out her place in the world. It’s a fresh 

and unique coming-of-age story set in the 

backstage world of the circus, which celebrates 

both the joy, and the risks of being a performing 

artist. School performances begin on April 

18th, with the public opening on April 23rd. 

The show runs until May 8th, 2016. Recommended 

for ages 7 and up. 

Elizabeth Diggs has revised her original 

book for the musical, and this new version has 

been pared down to one act, with a cast of 8 

performers. Casey Stangl directs the Los Angeles 

based cast which includes Aly Fainbarg 

in the title role and Mark Doerr as Bellini, the 

mysterious, retired high-wire walker with a secret. 

Tracey A. Leigh, seen in last season’s The 

Three Little Pigs, is Mirette’s practical mother, 

Madame Gateau. 

The rest of the cast play various “artistes” 

who live in the boarding house run by Madame 

Gateau: Curt Bonnem plays Tabac, a 

juggler; Ann Marie Lee is Madame Rouspenskaya, 

a Russian Opera singer; and brother and 

sister Jonathan Christopher MacMillan and 

Natalie Hope MacMillan play a pair of acrobats. 

Arthur Hanket is Max, an impresario. 

Thanks to a “Challenge America Grant” 

from the NEA, MainStreet will host writer 

Elizabeth Diggs during the rehearsal process, 

and Rob Mermin, the founder of Vermont’s 

Circus Smirkus, will also be on hand as the 

Circus Consultant, lending an air of authenticity 

to the proceedings. Musical Director Janice

PRE-SHOW EVENTS

celebrate Mother’s Day. Tickets to the tea are

Players Present Christie’s ‘Black Coffee’ 

Riverside Community Players is proud 

to present Black Coffee, Dame Agatha 

Christie’s first script for the theatre. 

Directed by Patricia McQuillan, the action 

takes place at Sir Claude Armory’s residence 

amid a variety of characters either living at 

‘Abbot’s Cleve’ (just outside London), or are 

invited guests at a dinner party. Unfortunately, 

the lovely party is interrupted by the unexpected 

demise of the host, Sir Claude, causing 

a parade of denials, grief, suspicions, outrage 

and relief. 

Sir Armory, a famous physicist, has hired 

the much admired Detective Hercule Poirot, 

to research and locate a missing document 

containing a formula worth many millions. 

However, Detective Poirot and his protégé Arthur 

Hastings arrive on the very evening of Sir 

Armory’s unexplained death. They take charge 

of the murder investigation much to the chagrin 

of several family members and guests.

‘Arabian 

Nights’ 

and the Transformative 

Power of Storytelling to 

play at CSUSB 

In winter 2016, Cal State San Bernardino’s theatre arts department 

will present The Arabian Nights, by Mary Zimmerman, adapted from 

The Book of a Thousand Nights and One. 

This celebration of the transformative power of storytelling, directed 

by Kathryn Ervin, CSUSB theatre arts professor, and music composed 

by Allen Menton, assistant professor of music, opened in March at the 

CSUSB Barnes Theatre. The play has moved to the Indian Wells Theater 

at the Palm Desert Campus for two additional performances, April 

9 and 10. The Arabian Nights is not recommended for anyone under the 

age of 17. 

This famous collection of stories spans many centuries and includes 

literature and folklore from across Asia, the Middle East and North 

Africa. This spellbinding adaptation offers a blend of lesser-known tales 

using improvisation and movement to remind us all of the power of 

stories to soften our hearts. 

The Sultan Shahryar is heartbroken by his unfaithful wife. In an 

infamous act of revenge he marries, loves, then kills his brides – until 

the fateful day he weds Scheherazade, a clever young woman who delays 

her death by intriguing the mad king with tales of laughter, love, lust, 

sorrow and dreams. For 1,001 nights Scheherazade concludes one tale, 

then begins a second one, prolonging her life in an attempt to sway her 

husband’s cold heart. 

Playwright Zimmerman is the renowned director and author behind 

plays such as Journey to the West, Metamorphoses, Notebooks of Leonardo 

da Vinci, Secret in the Wings, and Argonautika. She was the recipient of 

the MacArthur Fellowship in 1998, and the winner of a Tony Award for 

Best Direction in 2002 for her work on Metamorphoses. Her adaptation 

of The Arabian Nights was completed in 1992, earning her a nomination 

in 1994 for a Drama Desk Award (Outstanding Director of a Play). 

Individual and season tickets can be purchased from the CSUSB 

Theatre Arts Box Office by phone at (909) 537-5884, or online at 

theatre.csusb.edu. 

Tickets are $6 for students and children under 17; $12 for faculty, 

staff, senior citizens and military; $15 for general admission. Parking at

Artistic Director and full-time dance faculty, Michele Jenkins, choreographed 

several of the dance works including a contemporary dance suite 

paying tribute to Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas with music by 

Danny Elfman; a funky jazz piece mixing humor, quirkiness, and high energy 

with music by Infectious Grooves; an eccentrically playful and dark-humored 

modern dance piece with music by David Bowie, honoring the extraordinary 

innovator; and a contemporary ballet with an aura of otherworldly enchantment. 

Kristin Rooney, Chaffey adjunct instructor, offers a contemporary 

modern dance ensemble work that explores space and water-inspired fluidity, 

and also from Kristin, a 1960’s Mambo-styled Salsa piece with elements of 

Latin Jazz showcasing the percussive power and textures of Afro-Cuban and 

African-rooted rhythms. 

Chaffey adjunct faculty also include Paige Melvin, who provides an abstract 

ballet-influenced contemporary modern dance that expressively portrays the 

concept of resurrection with music by Dustin O’Halloran, and Diane Bonds, 

who fuses contemporary hip hop and jazz funk dance styles with mainstream

Fallbrook Celebrates 

Local Heritage 

With The Fallbrook 

Avocado Festival 

On Sunday, April 17, 

Fallbrook will host the 

Avocado Festival, marking 

the 30th annual anniversary 

of this popular event that takes 

place in the downtown area. The Avocado Festival celebrates the 

agricultural heritage of Fallbrook while providing an opportunity 

for entertainment, education, culture, food and fun. This 

is what sets the Avocado Festival apart from other street fairs in 

the area. 

This celebration of Fallbrook as an agricultural community 

is visible in the produce displays, the avocado-themed events 

sponsored throughout the day, the wide variety of foods found 

all along the Festival streets, as well as the local museums which 

will be open that day. Held on Main Avenue and some of the 

adjacent side streets, visitors get the “small town America”

33rd Annual California Strawberry Festival Is A 

Traditional Tasty Tribute In The Golden State 

Strawberry revelry is ripest when the 2016 

California Strawberry Festival celebrates its 

33rd seasonal celebration May 21 and 22, 

on 15 picturesque acres at Strawberry Meadows 

of College Park in Oxnard. It’s an iconic berry 

event of epic proportions. 

Ranked nationwide among the top outdoor 

Festivals, the fruity fete boasts lip-smacking 

strawberries every way imaginable, live concerts 

on two stages, more than 200 Fine Arts 

& Crafts booths, the Strawberry Promenade 

with celebrity cooking demonstrations, Strawberryland 

For Kids with rides and attractions, 

and wholesome, gooey contests, appealing to 

all ages. 

An estimated 1.5 million strawberries will be 

consumed over the weekend where the region’s 

most prolific crop is the main ingredient for fun. 

If you haven’t had strawberry pizza alongside a 

strawberry beer, you haven’t been to the Festival. 

Or perhaps the strawberry nachos, strawberry 

funnel cake, strawberry crepes, chocolate dipped 

> > The Yucaipa Music And Arts Festival Returns In May 

The City of Yucaipa will host the 5th Annual 

Yucaipa Music and Arts Festival, May 

13-15, in the Historic Uptown District. 

Thousands will gather to enjoy a musical explosion 

that promises to leave all in anticipation for 

next year. 

With this Festival, the City brings together 

various styles of music for three fun-filled days 

of lyrical pleasure. The Festival is sure to draw 

thousands of people for a full weekend of fun and 

relaxation. 

The Yucaipa Music and Arts Festival’s appeal 

as an affordable family event is one of many reasons 

it is quickly becoming a premier event in the 

Inland Empire and in Southern California. 

This year’s festivities will offer a lineup of classic 

rock and country themed musical entertainment 

with a feature performance by classic rock 

legend Starship featuring Mickey Thomas and 

The Romantics. The entertainment will also star

Come immerse yourself in the full experience 

of the Historic Uptown by visiting local farmers’ 

market booths, participating in the “Taste of Our 

Town,” and cheer on your favorite youth band in 

the Band Slam competition. Watch adult tricycle 

racing, sponsored by the local Rotary Club or 

be mesmerized by the roaming entertainment. 

If precious stones and art is your interest, then 

the Gem and Mineral Show and Artists’ Row is 

a must see! This year the City has partnered with 

the Women’s Club, located on Adams and Ave A, 

to offer a nice cool place to hold the Flower Show. 

Don’t forget the kids! There’s plenty for them 

to do with carnival rides, a kids zone, and a 

dedicated youth stage. If you’re hungry, no need to 

leave the event, a wide variety of food vendors will 

be on hand to satisfy your taste buds. These are 

just a few of the activities planned for the event, so 

take a look around and see all that is in store for 

the 2016 Yucaipa Music and Arts Festival. 

Event attendance and parking is free. Tickets 

and wristbands will be sold for carnival rides and 

certain event attractions and a beer and wine garden 

will be available Friday thru Sunday for those 

over 21 years of age.

feeling of Fallbrook while enjoying over 450 

booths and many other attractions, including 

food courts that include some amazing avocado 

foods. 

Returning this year is Avocado Central, 

located right in the middle of it all, at Main and 

Alvarado Streets. Here you can learn about the 

many avocado varieties, and even purchase the 

prized fruit and plants to grow at home. This is 

a “must visit” for the true avocado fan. 

The Artisan Walk on Alvarado, a block-long 

venue of local artisans displaying their unique 

creations, is another popular side excursion at 

the festival. Visitors are encouraged to visit this 

24 

area on Alvarado to enjoy their offerings. 

Children’s activities abound, with contests 

like the Avo 500 Races, Best-Dressed Avocado, 

and the Little Miss and Mister Avocado 

Contest. These take place at the Community 

Stage on Main at Elder Street — a family-style 

entertainment area. Another festival favorite 

taking place at the Community Stage is the 

Guacamole Contest (Professional and Amateur 

categories). Awards and recognition are given for 

the Best Tasting and Best Presentation in each 

category. Judges include local “celebrities.” Local 

talent and family entertainment performances 

take place on the Community Stage throughout 

the day in addition to the contests. There will 

also be a Kids Carnival area that will be held in 


the Joe’s Hardware parking lot, complete with 

rides and games. 

A shaded beer and margarita garden will host 

all-day music provided by a variety of local musicians, 

and will also be a place to sit and relax 

for awhile. Entertainment schedules are posted 

on the Avocado Festival page of the Fallbrook 

Chamber of Commerce in early April. 

Free parking, shuttles and admission help 

make this a fun and entertaining family outing. 

Come to the Friendly Village on Sunday, April 

17, to enjoy the Avocado Festival from 9am to 

5pm. 

Check the Fallbrook Chamber of 

Commerce website for all the details:

strawberries, or fried strawberries, 

are more your style. With selections 

from 50 food booths, those who 

wish to control their destiny should 

head to the “build you own” strawberry 

shortcake tent to pile on the 

goodness or enter the “Strawberry 

Shortcake Build Off” contest. 

Best of all, indulging is guilt 

free. With each bite of berry bliss 

from the non-profit food booths, 

100% of sales support their causes. 

The formula has proved to be a 

fruitful enterprise with more than 

$4.5 million dollars benefiting a 

multitude of southland charities 

over the past decades. 

Serving up wholesome family 

fun while paying tribute to the 

region’s rich agricultural heritage 

and giving back, is what the Festival 

is all about. “We work year round 

for an event that takes place in 48 

hours,” says California Strawberry 

Festival Chairperson Kim Gibas. 

“As volunteers, we’re committed 

to hosting an exceptional celebration 

that brings family and friends 

together for a great time.” She adds, 

“We strive to top the experience 

year after year.” 

Where else can you throw strawberries 

at your best friend in the 

Tart Toss Contest, or eat a strawberry 

pie by literally putting your face 

in it at the Pie Eating Contest?

May Seminar Promotes 

Positive Changes In 

Women’s Lives 

Born from the idea to motivate women to make positive change in their 

lives, Salud Integral de la Mujer (Comprehensive Women’s Health) has 

touched hundreds of lives since its launch in 2014. Salud Integral de 

la Mujer is a seminar that aims to teach women how to maintain harmony 

between their physical, emotional, and mental health. 

“We wanted to do something different that wasn’t just nutrition and 

exercise,” said Elia Camarena, Co-founder of the event and Community 

Outreach Worker at the Riverside Community Health Foundation (RCHF). 

“We cover other areas that can help women to be their better selves and make 

better decisions.” 

The seminar takes place every year in May around Mother’s Day. Last 

year, the topic was Discovering Your Potential. Participants were asked to 

write something positive about themselves on a leaf-shaped paper and then 

announce it to other participants before placing it on a Positivity Tree. 

“It’s amazing how much some women struggle to find something positive 

about themselves. But it’s necessary to see yourself that way,” said Carolina 

Bojorquez, Co-founder of the event and Community Outreach Worker at 

RCHF. 

Salud Integral de la Mujer has grown from 50 to 75 participants in its first 

two years with the hopes of breaking 100 in 2016. Women who attend the
