Movies On Main<br />

RETURNS<br />

With Four Movies In 2016<br />

The Riverside Downtown Partnership in conjunction with the City’s Park, Recreation and<br />

Community Services Department is pleased to announce the return of “Movies on Main” with<br />

blockbuster G-rated and PG movies the entire family will enjoy. These free movies will be shown on<br />

Main Street between University and Mission Inn Avenue projected on an inflatable outdoor screen.<br />

Scheduled movies this summer include:<br />

JULY 7 – HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2<br />

Hotel owner Dracula is concerned that his<br />

half-human grandson Dennis isn’t embracing his<br />

vampire heritage. He and his fellow ghouls put<br />

Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot<br />

camp, but their efforts are complicated by the<br />

arrival of Dracula’s dad, a traditionalist vampire<br />

named Vlad.<br />

JULY 14 – MINIONS<br />

The Minions, Stuart, Kevin and Bob, discover a<br />

hidden commercial broadcast for villains advertising<br />

Villain-Con; a convention for villains and<br />

supervillains in Orlando. At the convention, they<br />

are recruited by Scarlet Overkill, a super-villain<br />

who, alongside her inventor husband Herb,<br />

hatches a plot to take over the world.<br />

JULY 21 – INSIDE OUT<br />

Emotions run wild in the mind of a little girl who<br />

is uprooted from her peaceful life in the Midwest<br />

and forced to move to San Francisco. Young<br />

Riley was perfectly content with her life when her<br />

father landed a new job in San Francisco, and the<br />

family moved across the country. Now, as Riley<br />

prepares to navigate a new city and attend a new<br />

school, her emotional headquarters becomes a<br />

hot bed of activity. As Joy attempts to keep Riley<br />

feeling happy and positive about the move, other<br />

emotions like Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness<br />

make the transition a bit more complicated.<br />

JULY 28 – THE GOOD DINOSAUR<br />

In this enchanting computer-animated<br />

fantasy, set in a world where the dinosaurs<br />

never went extinct, an amiable young Apatosaurus<br />

named Arlo loses his father in a storm and<br />

is swept away by a vicious river current, stranding<br />

him in a frightening new place far from his<br />

home. He soon embarks on a journey to reunite<br />

with his family, and befriends a prehistoric human<br />

child known as Spot along the way.<br />

The movie screening will start at 8 pm or dusk if later. Early arrival is strongly recommended to secure a good<br />

spot and attendees can bring their own chair or blanket. Downtown restaurants nearby will be open late. For<br />

more information visit www.RiversideDowntown.org or www.facebook.com/RiversideDowntownPartnership<br />

EVENT: JULY 9-10<br />

Festival Celebrates The Native Lemon Lily<br />

The Idyllwild Nature Center hosts the Lemon Lily Festival,<br />

July 9-10 in Idyllwild, a small resort town nestled mile-high in<br />

the San Jacinto mountain range and easily accessible from all<br />

of Southern California.<br />

The Nature Center has continued to host the Lemon Lily<br />

festival each year since its inception. This year’s festival will be the<br />

seventh annual and promises to be among the best! Special features<br />

include folk music, pony rides, a children’s pioneer town, crafts and<br />

vendors of all varieties, and two special guided hikes to see blooming<br />

lemon lilies in the wild.<br />

The Lemon Lily Festival was founded in 2009 by local businessman<br />

Doug Yagaloff along with several botanists, business folk, and<br />

the Idyllwild Garden Club who had a common vision of restoring<br />

the Lemon Lily to its natural habitat in the San Jacinto Mountains.<br />

This group enlisted the help of volunteers, the Idyllwild Nature<br />

Center and the US Forest Service to make this vision a reality.<br />

Their vision was distilled into the following Mission Statement:<br />

“The mission of the Lemon Lily Festival is to foster an appreciation<br />

for the threatened native Lily, Lillium parryi, educate the public of<br />

its plight and relevance to Idyllwild, restore it to its historical range<br />

and benefit Idyllwild economically by promoting it as a visitor<br />

destination.”<br />

Check out www.lemonlilyfestival.com for more details. The<br />

Idyllwild Nature Center is located at 25225 Hwy 243 in beautiful<br />

Idyllwild. IER<br />

Fontana’s the Place to go for a<br />

Celebrate America’s Independence Day at the<br />

City of Fontana’s 4th of July Celebration!<br />

The Independence Day Celebration will<br />

feature a patriotic extravaganza with a kid’s zone,<br />

live music and a dazzling fireworks display.<br />

The 4th of July Celebration takes place on<br />

Monday, July 4, from 6pm to 9:30pm at Fontana<br />

High School located at 9453 Citrus Avenue in<br />

Fontana.<br />

The Kids Zone will provide non-stop energy<br />

and excitement along with games and contests for<br />

kids of all ages. Additional highlights will include<br />

the Community Services Department’s Mobile<br />

Recreation staff roaming the field to provide<br />

temporary patriotic tattoos and balloon animals.<br />

Make sure you bring your appetite so you can<br />

visit one of the many food vendors. If that isn’t<br />

enough, top the evening off watching the USC<br />

cheerleaders perform live throughout the night as<br />

well as providing demonstrations, so dust off your<br />

pom-poms if you dare!<br />

SPECTACULAR<br />

4th of July Celebration<br />

As the sun goes down, the celebration will<br />

heat up with live music and entertainment with<br />

a performance by Beatles vs Stones - A Musical<br />

Shoot Out. The British Invasion brought us<br />

the two most popular rock groups of all time,<br />

the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, as well as the<br />

liveliest debate in rock history – which band is the<br />

greatest? These two legendary bands will engage<br />

in an on-stage, mash-up duel – a musical “shoot<br />

out of the hits” if you will – featuring internationally<br />

renowned tribute bands, Abbey Road and<br />

Jumping Jack Flash. Watch as these two bands<br />

go head-to-head to see which one can rock your<br />

socks off the most!<br />

Finally, as the sun goes down, watch the sky<br />

light up with the City’s 20-minute fireworks show<br />

beginning at 9pm. This dazzling pyrotechnic<br />

display will be accompanied to choreographed<br />

music and is guaranteed to have you leaving the<br />

event filled with a spirit of patriotism and a sense<br />

of gratitude.<br />

Buy your tickets starting Monday, June 1, for<br />

only $4 per person for all ages at the following<br />

ZOO TIME!<br />

Big Bear Alpine Zoo<br />

Strives Towards<br />

New Heights<br />

High in the mountain region of Big Bear Lake, a<br />

gaze of raccoons (that’s what you call a group of<br />

raccoons) is scurrying across branches foraging<br />

for food items while other members of the gaze are<br />

busy at a nearby water source involved in their dunking<br />

ritual, rinsing their food through the water. What at<br />

first appears to be both food and hand washing is actually<br />

the technique used by raccoons to heighten their<br />

sense of touch, giving them precise information on<br />

what they are about to consume.<br />

Not far away, a male black bear tilts his head up<br />

and with a rapid succession of airflow through his<br />

nostrils, determines that a tasty food source is close by.<br />

His sense of smell, 100 times more powerful than that<br />

of a human’s, picks up a scent of an edible possibility.<br />

With massive arm and shoulder strength to accompany<br />

the incredible sense of smell, the 400-pound omnivore<br />

moves massive logs in an effort to find each morsel of<br />

hidden edible treasure.<br />

Known for their expertise as an ambush predator,<br />

two mountain lions blend in with their surrounding<br />

mountain flora, hiding between bark and branch.<br />

Above the ground, the brown, black, and grey hues of<br />

their fur makes them almost invisible allowing them to<br />

scan the activity on the ground beneath them.<br />

A perfect match for the surrounding bark of forest<br />

trees, their stealth-like behavior makes them almost<br />

undetectable.<br />

California has some of the most diverse wildlife<br />

in North America. But you don’t have to camp out in<br />

the wilderness just to catch a glimpse of some of our<br />

state’s amazing animals. In fact, the animals described<br />

above are actually animals at the Big Bear Alpine Zoo.<br />

Founded in 1959, the Big Bear Alpine Zoo is the only<br />

Alpine Zoo of its kind in the United States. Situated at<br />

almost 7,000 feet above sea level, the Big Bear Alpine<br />

Zoo serves as a rehabilitation facility for both mountain<br />

and nearby communities. With a nearly 80% success<br />

rate, animals are nursed back to health or weaned onto<br />

solid foods and then released back into the wild. If an<br />

animal is too injured or if it has lost its fear of humans,<br />

it cannot be released and has a home for life at Big Bear<br />

Alpine Zoo.<br />

“Our goal at the zoo is to connect our guests to<br />

wildlife, to demonstrate both the uniqueness of our<br />

animals and their habitat in the wild,” says Curator<br />

Bob Cisneros. “As for our animals, we focus on their<br />

natural behaviors, providing them with opportunities<br />

to thrive. I think this combination of connecting<br />

guests to wildlife and meeting the welfare needs of our<br />

animals makes us very successful at what we do.”<br />

If you are planning a trip to Big Bear, get your wild<br />

on! A visit to the zoo is the best way to see representatives<br />

of our mountain ecosystem. Located on 2.5 acres,<br />

Big Bear Alpine Zoo brings the wild to you, housing<br />

over 100 animals, mostly native species.<br />

The zoo is open daily from 10am through 5pm and<br />

is located at 43285 Goldmine Drive in Big Bear Lake,<br />

right across the street from Bear Mountain Ski and<br />

Board Resort.<br />

Each day at noon there is an animal presentation<br />

done by one of their keepers and three animal enrichment<br />

talks at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm.<br />

If you want to know more about the facility and<br />

the animals in their care, check out the website at www.<br />

Center Stage Fontana.<br />

The 2016/2017 season promises to be one<br />

of the best yet at Center Stage filled with four<br />

powerhouse Broadway shows, two murder<br />

mystery weekends, two TIBBIES song and<br />

dance reviews, and a Michael Jackson tribute<br />

show not to be missed!<br />

The Broadway series feature a diverse mix<br />

of musical comedy and emotion. The season<br />

starts this July with the musical comedy 9 to 5.<br />

the Addams Family. This Broadway musical<br />

comedy hit is perfect for the Halloween season<br />

and is filled with all of your favorite characters<br />

from the TV show.<br />

February of 2017 bring Ragtime to the<br />

stage. This powerful Broadway musical is set<br />

in the early 20th century and tells the struggle<br />

of attaining the American Dream. The show<br />

is filled with powerful performances that will<br />

move and inspire.<br />

Finally in April of 2017 the hit musical<br />

comedy Hairspray will take guests back in time<br />

to the 1960’s where social change was in the<br />

wind and the music in the air was so great that<br />

no one could resist dancing!<br />

This year the TIBBIES series features<br />

two amazing shows. Holiday Follies has been<br />

delighting audiences for over 20 years and has<br />

been seen by over 100,000 guests in various<br />

dancing at Studio 54 or still a glimmer in your<br />

mother’s eye during the 70’s this show will<br />

have you shouting “more, more, more!”<br />

Another thing that makes the TIBBIES<br />

shows such a special experience is the fact<br />

serve you a delicious dinner, they trade in<br />

their aprons for amazing costumes and take<br />

to the stage! “This element really makes the<br />

entire event interactive,” Vigiletti said. “The<br />

audience gets a chance to know the performers<br />

before the show begins and it makes them feel<br />

like they have a family member to cheer for up<br />

on the stage.”<br />

To round out the 2016/2017 season Center<br />

Stage has some really unique dinner and<br />

show opportunities. The very popular Murder<br />

For info and tickets check the CATS website<br />

at www.bigbeartheater.org or call the PAC Box<br />

Office at (909) 866-4970.<br />

Take Me Along opened on Broadway in<br />

October of 1959, during the “Golden Age of<br />

Broadway.” Originally starring Jackie Gleason,<br />

who won the 1960 Tony Award for his hilarious<br />

performance, and also starring Walter Pidgeon in<br />

his magnificent singing role, Take Me Along is a<br />

high spirited family musical filled with wonderful<br />

songs and delightfully funny scenes. The musical<br />

made a star of Robert Morse, and introduced a<br />

young dancer to Broadway by the name of Valerie<br />

Harper. The Music & Lyrics for the musical were<br />

Take Me Along is set<br />

on July 4, 1906, and<br />

is the perfect family<br />

musical.<br />

written by Robert Merrill (Funny Girl) with book<br />

by Joseph Stein (Fiddler On The Roof) and Robert<br />

Russell. It was originally produced by David Merrick,<br />

with staging by Onna White.<br />

After closing on Broadway, the musical played<br />

National Tours and summer stock venues for several<br />

years. It was so popular that United Airlines<br />

adapted the title song for a massive ad campaign<br />

in the late ‘60s.<br />

CATS is reviving the musical again, having<br />

produced it 15 years ago. Director-Choreographer<br />

Karen Sargent Rachels, who once toured<br />

with the musical along with Dan Dailey, has fond<br />

memories of the show. She says: “Along with a<br />

terrific score, the musical has a wonderful script,<br />

based on Eugene O’Neill’s classic comedy, Ah,<br />

Wilderness!. Teenagers as well as Senior citizens<br />

fall in love, come of age and try to stay out of<br />

trouble, all with delightful singing and dancing.<br />

If you liked The Music Man, you’ll love<br />

Take Me Along.”<br />

Take Me Along is set on July 4, 1906, and<br />

is the perfect family musical. Once again, CATS’<br />

Set Designer, Joanne McMaster, has designed a<br />

lovely period set for use on the Performing Arts<br />

Center’s revolving stage. Costumes are designed<br />

by Priscilla Anderson, with Bob Perry in charge of<br />

Set Construction. Karen Bergmann is Associate<br />

Producer, Adam McDonald is Production Coordinator<br />

and Joe Sellarole is Musical Director. The<br />

cast includes several of CATS’ star performers including<br />

Steve Mangels, Adam McDonald, Diana<br />

Hintergardt, Nancy Walker, Timmy Brasher and<br />

Jessica Brasher.<br />

Tickets are on sale now. Tickets and information<br />

PAGEANT OF THE<br />

MASTERS DIRECTOR PLAYS<br />

MATCHMAKER WITH 2016<br />

SHOW, ‘PARTNERS’<br />

The 2016 Pageant of the Masters, Partners,<br />

sets out in search of stories of compelling<br />

collaborations that led to the creation of unforgettable<br />

artworks. This one-of-a-kind theatrical<br />

event, featuring live narration and original music<br />

performed live by the Pageant’s orchestra, takes<br />

place in the beautiful Irvine Bowl on the grounds<br />

of Laguna’s Festival of Arts July 7 – August 31.<br />

“My inspiration for Partners began during<br />

research for the 2012 show, The Genius,” said<br />

Pageant Director Diane Challis Davy. “We<br />

discovered a portrait of the Lavoisiers, an influential<br />

husband-and-wife team doing scientific<br />

research in 18th century France. Theirs was a<br />

partnership in both science and art.” She continued,<br />

“Then, in the midst of planning a salute<br />

to movies in 2013’s The Big Picture, I began to<br />

think ‘dance in the movies’ might be a wonderful<br />

subject for an end-of-act-one finale, including<br />

a tribute to the masters of cinematic<br />

choreography and iconic dance partners, Gene<br />

Kelly and Fred Astaire.”<br />

Pageant Scriptwriter Dan Duling added,<br />

“Art doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Leonardo’s<br />

mural of The Last Supper wouldn’t exist if he<br />

hadn’t found a patron to give him the go-ahead.<br />

And who knows where Lewis and Clark might<br />

have ended up without the guidance and assistance<br />

of Sacajawea?”<br />

The 2016 Pageant will feature artworks from<br />

many nations including France, Spain, Sweden, Italy<br />

and Mexico, in search of memorable art made<br />

possible by partnerships – between husbands and<br />

wives, artists and models, even artists and their<br />

patrons. This theatrical and musical journey will<br />

also consider how partnership can become an<br />

ideal subject for masterpieces devoted to family,<br />

love and courtship, as well as historical, scientific<br />

and even fictional quests. Director Challis Davy<br />

acknowledged the challenge she’s already faced.<br />

“There are so many artworks inspired by partnerships,<br />

it’s difficult to narrow them down.”<br />

From the warm familial scenes of Sweden’s<br />

Carl Larsson to the surreal originality of Frida<br />

Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Partners promises a<br />

double-dose of theatrical fun and surprises.<br />

This summer’s production will find new and<br />

exciting ways to tell the stories to be found<br />

within a gallery of masterpieces, many appearing<br />

on the Pageant stage for the very first<br />

time. As a preview, Challis Davy said, “We’re<br />

planning to incorporate video and live action<br />

sequences along with a behind-the-scenes look<br />

at how tableaux are created, and how volunteers<br />

are selected for the show. We will use the<br />

lovely moonlit landscape of our amphitheater<br />

as a perfect setting for some of the sculptural<br />

tableaux.”<br />

Challis Davy also shared a bit of Pageant history<br />

that resonates with this theme. Eighty years<br />

ago, in 1936, Laguna legends Roy and Marie<br />

Ropp presented their second summer production<br />

they had christened the Pageant of the Masters.<br />

Their blend of live music, narration and living<br />

pictures effectively created the template for<br />

today’s internationally-acclaimed Pageant. And<br />

that year, the Ropps concluded their production<br />

with its largest and most ambitious tableau.<br />

The first presentation of Leonardo’s The Last<br />

Supper brought national attention to the Festival<br />

and Pageant and effectively changed the course<br />

of history for this Laguna Beach tradition. With<br />

only three exceptions, The Last Supper has been<br />

the program’s traditional finale ever since.<br />

Back in 1936, Roy Ropp looked to his friends<br />

and neighbors to realize his Pageant dreams.<br />

Today, director Challis Davy depends every bit<br />

as much on the devotion and dedication of her<br />

army of volunteers who join together each summer<br />

as cast members and backstage volunteers.<br />

Challis Davy summed up her ambitions for<br />

this summer’s Pageant. “I think there will be<br />

partnerships presented that everyone can relate<br />

to. We hope Partners will be beautiful and entertaining,<br />

and encourage our audiences to think<br />

about the people they know and love who have<br />

inspired and encouraged them.” IER<br />
