20 Hits and seven #1 songs on the
Collective Soul plays Fantasy Springs Casino, May 17.
Billboard Mainstream Rock chart since
their career began in 1994. Of their #1 hits, “Heavy” from their “Dosage” CD spent 14 weeks in
the top position followed by “Shine,” which held the leading slot for 8 weeks.
Known for their guitar driven style, Collective Soul continues to thrive by writing good, solid
songs and taking them to the people. The current line-up features Ed and Dean Roland, guitarist
Joel Kosche, bassist Will Turpin and drummer Ryan Hoyle.

Crystal Gayle plays at Soboba Casino
C
ountry legend Crystal Gayle will perform at AC’s Lounge at
Soboba Casino May 28 at 8pm. Gayle brings her signature
style to the stage as she performs the hits that have made her a
household name.
Gayle’s musical boundaries seem limitless, as proven by her latest much
anticipated project “All My Tomorrows,” a mood influenced collection of
American standards. Songs such as “Cry Me A River,” “Sentimental
Journey,” “It Had To Be You,” and “Smile” reach new heights when piped
through the beautiful chords of Crystal Gayle.
“These are songs any artist loves to sing,” Gayle said in a recent interview. “They’ve endured to become timeless.”
In the mid 70’s, Gayle was the focal point of her own one hour prime
time special on CBS television, a special that earned the glowing praise of
viewers and critics alike. Chic, hip, and cool with a romantic mane of hair
that swept around her ankles, in one evening of television Crystal Gayle
moved country music to the highest platform it had yet reached in the eyes
of the viewing and listening nation.
The blue-eyed beauty from the Appalachian coal mining town of
Paintsville, Kentucky would never again linger in the shadow of being
Loretta Lynn’s baby sister. Drop dead beautiful and dressed in designer
threads, Crystal took country music to town on her arm in the 70’s and
introduced it to mainstream audiences.
The result was a career crossover that still produces beautiful results such
as those captured in the grooves of “All My Tomorrows.”
Like sister Loretta, Crystal too was a “coal miner’s daughter” before she
was a platinum selling singer and a worldclass entertainer. While still in school, she
signed her first recording contract. Her
debut single, “I’ve Cried The Blue Right
Out Of My Eyes,” was written by Loretta
(already a star) and reached the Top 20 on
the national country music charts. Three
more singles were released over the next
three years, all making an impact with
radio and listeners.
What next emerged was uniquely
Crystal. Her warm, resonant vocal
styling, individual as a fingerprint, captured the imagination and attention of
audiences not usually tuned in and turned
on by country music. There was an
undeniable sophistication and a beguiling
charm about her look and her voice that
was a memorable imprint on every audience every listener.
Her first album project began a roll out of smash singles to come. By
her fourth album, “We Must Believe In Magic,” Crystal Gayle became
the first female artist in country music history to achieve platinum album
sales. Driving the engine of the album was the song that was to become
her enduring career signature song to date: “Don’t It Make My Brown
Eyes Blue.”

H
e’s done it all…Writing, directing, producing and acting in TV and motion pictures;
performing stand-up comedy routines,
recording pop albums, singing and dancing
on Broadway in addition to his humanitarian efforts.
Now Fantasy Springs Resort Casino welcomes Jerry
Lewis to the Special Events Center stage, Saturday May
31, at 8pm.
Lewis, born in Newark, NJ in 1926, was destined for show business as his parents Danny and Rae Lewis were entertainers. By age 15, he was performing his popular “Record Act,” where he silently mouthed the words to opera and pop songs of
the day. This caught the eye of comedian Irving Kaye who decided he would mentor
the young comic and help Jerry get work.
In 1946, Jerry met and partnered with crooner Dean Martin. They became the
most successful comedy team in nightclubs and film until they parted ways in 1956.
During the 1960’s, Jerry recorded a hit song “Rock-A-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie
Melody,” opened his own production company, Jerry Lewis Productions, and began
writing, directing and starring in such film as “The Big Mouth,” “Don’t Raise the
Bridge, Lower the River” and “Which Way to the Front.”
As the 70’s came to a close, Jerry received the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian efforts to end Muscular Dystrophy, a cause he has championed since 1949.
Jerry has received other honors including the Medal for Distinguished Public Service
in 1985 and a Doctorate of Humane Letters Degree from Mercy College in
Westchester, NY in 1987.
Jerry’s performance at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on May 31st will be his
only Southern California appearance. Tickets for this special one-night performance
are on sale at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino Box Office or by calling (760) 3425000. Tickets can be purchased on-line at www.tickets.com or

Performance Riverside gets
‘Thoroughly Modern’
P
erformance Riverside tops off its 20072008 season with Thoroughly Modern
Millie, winner of six 2002 Tony
Awards, including Best Musical, with
music by Jeanine Tesori, lyrics by Dick Scanlon,
and book by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlon.
The production is directed and choreographed by John Vaughan. Musical director is
Scott T. Smith. Performances will be at Landis
Performing Arts Center on the campus of
Riverside City College, June 6-15.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is a rip-roaring
romp set in the “Roaring ‘20s,” based on the
1967 smash movie comedy. It revolves around
Millie Dillmount, who escapes to New York
City from Salina, Kansas determined to marry
her wealthy boss - whoever he may be.
Shedding her country girl image for the modern look of a “flapper,” she takes a room at the
Priscilla Hotel for Women and gets a job as a
stenographer at the Sincere Trust Insurance
12
Company. In short time, she finds herself
involved with Jimmy Smith, an apparently
ne’er-do-well paper clip salesman, Miss
Dorothy Brown, a genteel aspiring actress who
never seems to have spare change, Trevor
Graydon, her no-nonsense boss, and Muzzy van
Hossmere, a madcap Manhattan heiress with a
zest for the high life.
The Landis Performing Arts Center is located on the Riverside City College campus at
4800 Magnolia Avenue. Performances for
Thoroughly Modern Millie are June 6, 7, 13,
and 14 at 8pm, and June 7, 8, 14, and 15 at
2pm. Tickets are $24, $29, $36, and $42. A
specially priced “Discovery Theatre” performance for school and senior groups is also available on June 6 at 10 am.

The San Bernardino Symphony Debs & Red Tie Guys Celebrate 20 years
T
he San Bernardino
Symphony Debs and
Red Tie Guys is a
unique, one-of-a kind
California regional high school
music appreciation program
sponsored by the San Bernardino
Symphony Guild in conjunction
with the San Bernardino
Symphony Association and in
cooperation with the Inland
Empire High Schools.
Each Fall membership is open to sophomore,
junior and senior high school students who are
recommended by their school’s teachers and staff,
community patrons or former Debs and Red Tie
Guys, who are then invited to participate in the
program membership. Members usher and provide other back-stage services and represent their
school and the San Bernardino Symphony to the
educational community at large. They also assist
the Guild with Afterglows following each concert,
and receive many privileges of membership,
including meeting guest artists and receiving free
season concert tickets for themselves with a bonus
ticket for a family member or friend, plus a community service certificate at the end of each sea-
son. No musical background is required to participate in this fun and rewarding fine arts program.
The program teaches concert and social
etiquette at the beginning of each season
through an informal but mandatory training session and stresses the importance of
music appreciation through casual ‘talks’
with our orchestra’s music director and
conductor. Prior to each concert Maestro
Carlo Ponti, Jr. speaks privately to the
Debs/Red Tie Guys about the concert, composers and guest artists.
At the last concert, the Debs and Red
Tie Guys president presents a surprise “Guild
Rose” on stage to a deserving musician who has
demonstrated exceptional qualities during the season that are above and beyond his/her musical
excellence.
The successful program was conceived and
founded 20 years ago for the 1987-88 Season by
June Durr, Symphony Guild and Board Member
and former Utah Symphony Deb, as a younger
audience development tool for the Symphony.
Originally designed as a girl’s debutante program,
the boys/gentleman counterparts were added in
the 1990’s by popular request. It was intended to
be a continuation of the Symphony Guild’s
“Music in the Schools” elementary school program and the Symphony’s outreach to college students.
“Over 600 students have participated in this
special program over the 20 years, and their seeds
of music appreciation have expanded and have
gone with them all over the United States
through college and their professional careers as a
cultural added value from our wonderful
Symphony orchestra and family. We even have
successful alumni coming back now to coordinate
the program for its future success,” said June
Durr, Founder, who gives special thanks to original program supporters Evelyn Hill, Brenda
Bean, Rosemary Davis, Kathy Serembe, John and
Heather Gates, Michael and Michele Tacchia,
Diana Sanders, Dara Tetreau, Danae TetreauRabelo, Jamie Mattison, Bud Coffey, Earleen and
Donald Dudley, Donna Uhl, Mary Schnepp,
Judy Brewer and especially my daughter, Jill Durr
Shively, without whose initial assistance, candidate referrals and support this program would not
have happened! Bravo!

Community Players
announce 84th season
R
iverside Community Players, one of the oldest continuously active community theatre groups in the United States,
has announced an intriguing line-up of shows for its 84th
season, and theatre patrons are sure to enjoy an exciting
and “well-rounded” season of comedy, mystery, drama, as well as a
rousing musical comedy finale in Kiss Me Kate.
“We have compiled a season that has something for everyone to
enjoy. We are bringing back our audience’s favorite author, Agatha
Christie, but we also are presenting two Pulitzer Prize winning works
and several Tony Award nominees and winners,” RCP Board Member
Jennifer Lawson said. In the interest of exposing local audiences to lesser-known but important works, the Community Players will present at
least two productions that are Inland Empire premieres.
To begin the new season with gusto, RCP will present a high-energy
production of Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies in September. This hilarious comedy centers on two down-on-their-luck actors who hear about a
rich old lady who is dying and planning to leave her fortune to her two
long-lost nephews. They resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved
relatives and get the cash. However, when they arrive at the old lady’s
estate, they discover that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces.
Romantic entanglements and mistaken identities abound in this fastpaced farce.
In November, the Players will present On Golden Pond by Ernest
Thompson. This beloved story was brought to the big screen and
starred Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda. It is a
touching, funny and warmly perceptive study of a spirited and lovable
elderly couple facing their twilight years.
RCP’s January offering is the 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony
Award-nominated play Anna in the Tropics. Set in 1929, Nilo Cruz
tells the dramatic and romantic story of a family of cigar workers whose
lives are irrevocably changed by the arrival of a new lector. As he reads
Anna Karenina to the workers, the spirit of Tolstoy’s novel affects them
all. With each chapter, new desires and jealousies erupt in the factory.
Agatha Christie’s The Hollow, based on her 1946 book of the same
The classic musical Kismet
opens at Candlelight Pavilion
The classic musical Kismet will open at the Candlelight Pavilion
on May 31 and will run through July 26. “This lavish production is an
eye-candy spectacle with colorful Arabian costumes and extravagant
sets,” Artistic Director Mindy Teuber said.
Kismet is another word for fate and that is exactly what this
musical is about. Neither Aladdin nor Ali Baba ever had a day like
Hajj the beggar! In the span of twenty-four hours, Hajj manages to
escape the clutches of a vengeful bandit, drown the evil Wazir of
Police, catch the eye of the Wazir’s voluptuous wife, serve as Emir of
Baghdad, and see his daughter wed to the handsome Caliph. The lush
score adapted from the soaring melodies of Alexander Borodin feature memorable tunes including “Stranger in Paradise,” “Baubles,
Bangles, and Beads” and “Sands of Time.”
Kismet won three Tony Awards in 1954 including “Best Musical.”
A year later the show was turned into a popular MGM film starring
Howard Keel, Ann Blyth, Delores Gray, and Vic Damone.
The Candlelight Pavilion production will be directed by the
accomplished Chuck Ketter, musically directed by Julie Lamoureaux
and choreographed by Rikki Lugo. Kismet will run Thursdays
through Sundays. Doors open at 6pm Thursday through Saturday
evenings, at 5pm on Sunday evenings and at 11am for Saturday and
Sunday matinees.

‘Air’ brings dark comedy to Riverside Players
A
fter garnering seven Inland Theatre
League Awards at this year’s ceremony, including an unprecedented five
for his unique production of
“Dracula,” twenty-eight-year-old Adam
Demerath is ready to tackle his next directing
assignment. He will undoubtedly delight
Riverside audiences with the Inland Empire
premiere of Richard Dresser’s dark comedy,
“Something in the Air,” which will run for
three weekends, starting May 16, at the
Riverside Community Players.
Although “Something in the Air” marks
Demerath’s directorial debut at the Players, he
certainly is no stranger to Riverside’s intimate theatre-in-the-round. Demerath gave award-winning performances in several RCP productions
over the past few years, including Mozart in
“Amadeus” and Evans in “Terra Nova.”
“It has always been a treat having Adam in
our productions. He brings such commitment
and imagination to every role he plays. Having
had the honor of working closely with him on a
couple of shows, I know first-hand how he dives
into a character. He really embodies the collabo-
rative spirit that it so important for a performing
artist,” RCP Board Member Jennifer Lawson
said.
As his lengthy resume proves, Demerath is
equally at home with intense dramas and outrageous comedies, and his current project, a dark
comedy, is a perfect blend of the two genres. The
story centers on Walker, a man who has hit rock
bottom. Seeking help, he finds himself in the
office of Neville, a man Walker believes is a psychoanalyst. However, Neville is actually a financial analyst who offers Walker a sure-fire investment: buying the life insurance policy of a dying
man. It seems to be a diabolically brilliant plan.
Just as things start looking up for him romantically and financially, Walker discovers that things
are not always what they seem to be and that perhaps his get-rich quick scheme might not be as
easy as he thought.
Much to Demerath’s delight, he has assembled an amazingly talented cast of award-winning
actors who hail from the local area and as far
away as Apple Valley and Fullerton. As the two
conspirators, Michael Truelock, who has been
featured in many of the recent RCP productions,
will take on the role of the desperate man,
Walker, and Lance Todd
Christiansen, who won ITL
Awards for previous RCP
efforts (directing “Funny
Money” and acting in “Terra
Nova”) plays the questionable
financial analyst, Neville.

Feast at the hottest,
coolest event of
the summer
E
njoy chili? Cool cars? Hot music? If so, then you’ll enjoy the
6th Annual Chili Cook-Off and Car/Motorcycle Show on
Saturday, May 24. The event, hosted by the Arlington
Business Partnership, takes place along Magnolia Avenue
from Van Buren Boulevard to Jackson Street, and will run from
9:30am and end at 5pm.
This year’s event will be bigger than ever, including a new
community stage highlighting local Riverside bands.
“We feel it is important to showcase our local musicians,” Judy Teunissen, 2008 Co-Chair, said
“There is an abundance of young talent
in this town and a large event like
this is a perfect place for them to
perform.”
CUBO, the rockin’ top-40’s
band (Riverside’s own) is back
again by popular demand and
will play on the Main Stage.
In addition to a classic car
show, the event features a
motorcycle competition as
well. Attendees will be able to
vote for their favorite cars and cycles in a highly competitive awards
contest.
The Chili Cook-Off will expand the KidZone this year to
include more inflatables and interactive games for kids of all
ages. Activities include a rock climbing wall, inflatable obstacle course, activity trailer,
kiddie train, petting zoo and
pony rides.
Event organizers are hoping to
attract “little citizens” for the “Little Mr.
Hot Sauce” and “Little Miss Chili Peppers” contests. Children up to
12 years of age are welcome with prizes for winners and gifts for all
participants. Parents may sign-up their children at the Main Stage the
day of the event.
The event will also feature handcrafted arts and crafts, business
booths, food booths, beer garden, wine bar and lots of chili prepared
by the International Chili Society cooks who compete for international
prizes. Community cooks will vie for cash prizes.
If you are a chili cook who loves to show off your chili then check
out the People’s Choice for the best Red Chili, Chili Verde and Salsa.
Call the ABP office (951-509-1100) for an application and further
details.
Every year the Arlington Business Partnership makes a financial
contribution to two of local organizations, Boy Scout Troop 116 and
the AssisTeens.

Visitors From the Great Beyond
Their visits are predictable. Some have a celebrity status and their
visits are a newsworthy event. We know them as Halley, West, HaleBopp and Hyakutake. They are around 4.6 billion years old. They
carry information about the origination and evolution of our solar
system in their head and tail. They are comets, and their orbital paths
around the Sun are so vast that we are lucky to see some of them
once in a lifetime.
What are comets, and where do they come from? Comets are
often referred to as “dirty snowballs” because they have a solid
nucleus of ice and debris. The nucleus is surrounded by a spherical
cloud of gas and debris called a coma. As the comet orbits near the
Sun, the solid particles of its nucleus heat up and the ice sublimates
(turns to gas without first becoming liquid). The blurry, elongated tail
that stretches out behind the comet usually has two parts. One part
is made up of debris and the other is made up of ions.
Find out about the rest of the Solar System neighborhood at a
SkyQuest Public Program. MSAS Astronomy Village has two scheduled for May. Topics are the following: “Today’s Universe,” May 10, and
“Selecting the Right Telescope,” May 24. The programs are from 7pm
to 9pm and include an entertaining slide/lecture, question and
answer period, laser tour of the night sky, and a visit to the Robert
Brownlee Observatory, weather permitting.
For information and tickets, call (909) 336-1699 or visit their
website at www.mountain-skies.org. The MSAS Astronomy Village is
located just off State Hwy 18, west of Rim of the World High School.

Hypnotist brings out laughs
R
elease your inhibitions, or at least watch someone else do it,
and have a good time at the Comedy Hypnosis Show in Lake
Arrowhead Village. The free event, at the Center Stage, takes
place May 16 at 5:30pm.
Hypnotist De’ Anna “the HypnoChick” is a woman with the energy
of a rock star and a comedy hypnosis show that is jam packed with spontaneous laughs. Who knows, you may even end up as the star of the
show.
De’ Anna routinely performs for Fortune 500 corporations such as
AFLAC and Mercury Insurance, travels oversees to bring laughter to U.S.
Army and Marine Corps troops, and can be seen at public events throughout her annual nationwide summer tours.
Her comedy Hypnosis show has been a well
received complement to many major entertainment events as she has shared the stage with
headlining musical acts such as Tim McGraw
and Toby Keith, and even diverse entertainers
like Weird Al Yankovic.
De’ Anna Nunez opened a Hypnotherapy
office, Mind Design Global, in Lake Arrowhead
Village in 2007, catering to the local community.
Hypnosis workshops for quitting smoking and
weight loss, as well as customized private hypnosis sessions, are her main focus.
This year the Lake Arrowhead Village
Concert Series has been included into her comedy hypnosis show tour. “The show is hysterical
and spontaneous. You never know how someone
will react when they have no inhibitions,” De’
Anna said.
The HypnoChick comedy Hypnosis show is
appropriate for people of all ages.
You can be a part of the excitement by either
volunteering to be hypnotized or laughing from
the audience at De’Anna’s shows on May 16, July
11 and August 15 on the Center Stage at 5pm.
For more information call Mind Design
Global at (909) 336-6900. See her ad on

Walking for a Great Cause!
By Natasha Ferguson
J
oin teams of others on a walk to
help raise awareness and funds for
arthritis. The Inland
Empire Arthritis Walk
takes place Saturday
June 7 at historic
Fairmount Park in
downtown Riverside.
The Arthritis Walk
is a three mile walk that begins and ends at the bandshell. Walk registration begins at 8am followed by announcements at 9am and warm-up. The
walk starts at 10am and takes about an hour to complete. Festivities
include an expo at the finish of the arthritis walk, a kid zone with lots of
children’s activities including face painting, a jumper and more. There will
also be live entertainment and health vendors. The walk is not just limited
to humans, either. Your pooch can join and will be given bandanas to
proudly wear. Refreshments and goody bags will be distributed to walkers.
There is also an alternate route which is one mile for those who suffer with
arthritis.
Arthritis is a disease that affects the joints and is widely misconceived
to be a disease that affects only elderly people. However, this is far from
true. Children as well as adults suffer from this crippling illness.
Each year, the Arthritis Walk honors a youth who suffers from arthritis.
This year’s youth honoree is a special young man, 11 year-old Bobby
Hamilton. He was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
at 9 years of age. He is currently in the 5th grade at Newman Elementary
School in Chino. Like many kids his age, he once enjoyed sports activities
such as basketball and baseball, but sadly went from shooting
hoops to frequent visits to the doctor and inpatient hospital
stays. The Arthritis Foundation became a beacon of light for
young Bobby affording him the opportunity to meet other
youths who suffer with similar crippling illnesses at youth
camps such as Camp Esperanza and the Painted Turtle. The
Arthritis Foundation gives hope for a cure and helps make life
more manageable for him and other children who suffer from
this terrible disease.
This year, the Arthritis Foundation has selected Dr. Babak
Zamiri as its medical honoree. Dr. Zamiri is President and
Medical Director of the Arthritis Medical Clinic, Osteoporosis
Diagnostic Imaging and Treatment Center in Riverside. Dr.
Zamiri is active in clinical care, research and teaching.
The Arthritis walk is an annual event that over 300 communities nationwide participate in starting in the month of
May, which is National Arthritis Month. The goal of these
walks is to fund arthritis research, health education and government advocacy initiatives in hopes of one day discovering a
cure.
There are several ways you can participate. Your company
or organization can form a team, you can register as an individual, or if you’d just like to make a contribution to this worthwhile cause you can do so by visiting www.arthritiswalkie.com.
Raise $100 or more and earn an official Arthritis Walk t-shirt.

Redlands Youth Circus comes to town
The circus is coming to
Redlands, at the YWCA, and your
kids can get involved. The 2008
Great All-American Youth Circus
show theme takes its inspiration
from the Circus’ own rich history.
This year’s performances will pay
tribute to the unique tradition
that the Circus has become for
the town of Redlands, and the
changing face of circus arts over
the past several decades.
Founded in 1929 by YMCA
Director Roy Coble, a former
Ringling Brothers Barnum &
Bailey performer, The Great AllAmerican Youth Circus is a magnificent community tradition in
Redlands. It is the largest and the
longest-running community circuses in the world, and one of
only a handful of programs like it
in the United States. 2008 marks
the 68th performing season and
this year’s cast totals over 275
people.
Performances are held at the
Redlands Family YMCA in the Roy
Coble Gymnasium. All proceeds
from ticket sales benefit the
Great All-American Youth Circus
program.
Show dates are May 2, 9, 16 at
7pm, May 3, 10, 17 at 5pm, and
May 4, 11, 18 at 3pm.
Tickets are on sale at the
Redlands Family YMCA, at 500
East Citrus Avenue. Call (909)
798-9622 ext. 360 or visit
www.ycircus.org for more information. Ticket prices are $15 for
adults, $10 for kids ages 3-12, and
children under 3 are free if they
sit on a parent’s lap.
There is no other after-school
activity that can compare to the
Great Y Circus experience.
“Circus is the best thing that’s
happened to me in a long time,”
12-year-old Shannon Seheult said.
For more information about
2008 performances or how to get
involved in the summer Circus
classes, visit www.ycircus.org.

josephfilippiwinery.com. R
name, will open in March of 2009. This intriguing but little known whodunit by the famous mystery writer focuses on The Hollow, the English
country home of Sir Henry Angkatell, and the shady group of characters—
relatives and romantic interests—who gather there for a weekend. An
unhappy game of romantic ‘follow the leader’ exposes jealousies and then
explodes into murder.
Continuing their tradition of presenting thought-provoking works,
RCP will present David Lindsay-Abaire’s drama Rabbit Hole in May,
2009. Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize, this brilliantly nuanced play is
widely regarded as one of the best new plays written in the last 25 years. It
is the story of the Corbetts who have everything a regular family could
want...until the day their world is turned upside down. Teeming with
heartbreak, compassion, wit and honesty, Rabbit Hole is a delicate piece of
theatre about family relationships, loss and hope.
Ending the season on a rousing note, the Players will present Cole
Porter’s masterpiece of the musical theatre, Kiss Me Kate in July of 2009.
The show looks in on a troupe of dysfunctional actors putting on a musical
version of The Taming of the Shrew, starring two argumentative ex-spouses. Throw in a few gangsters trying to collect on an I.O.U., some flowers
sent to the wrong lover, and a trio of suitors chasing the same gal, and the
hilarity ensues. The show was Cole Porter’s biggest hit, winning five Tony
Awards, including the first Tony ever presented for Best Musical.
Discounted season tickets for all six shows are available in June for as
little as $66 or $56 for senior citizens (62+). Tickets for the shows may be
purchased individually for $15 each ($18 for Kiss Me Kate). The theatre is
located at 4026 Fourteenth Street in Riverside. There is no late seating,
and children under the age of five are not admitted. Show titles are subject
to availability. Visit the RCP website at
www.riversidecommunityplayers.org for more information. For ticket
reservations and information, call the box office at (951) 686-4030.
