#13 – 4.24 – Gary Powers’ REVOLUTION STAGE COMPANY presented the world premiere of Emma Schillage’s , in association with the Del Shores Foundation, directed by the gifted Emerson Collins. No spoilers here, but this dark comedy is all about survival — the kind of people who keep going no matter how messy, broken, or chaotic life gets… like cockroaches. The characters are bold, the emotional turns are fast, funny, and raw — AND THEN THERE IS THE COCKROACH! The most extraordinary costume I have EVER seen, brilliantly designed by Joyanne Tracy. I really "en-joey'd" it. The play runs through May 3. Don’t miss it.COCKROACHESwww.revolutionstagecompany.com

#12 - 4.23 - CV REP'S Executive Artistic Director Adam Karsten presents the opening of "Ernest Shackleton Loves Me". I now have a definition of the word "quirky". No spoilers here, but suffice to say this show cleverly blends the modern-day struggles of Kat (a struggling composer who's broke) w/ Shackleton's real-life 1914 expedition. It's funny, heartfelt and musically driven - don't ask me how, it just works. In the end it's about survival - for everyone, everywhere and in every time zone. Starring Sarah Manton and Matt Miles (on the Joey English Show 4.19) who carry nonstop dialogue and are completely believable - they're simply outstanding. It is, after all, ENTERTAINING and whimsical and yes "quirky". It plays thru May 10, don't miss it. . www.cvrep.org

#9 – 4.18 – There’s a line in that says, “We’ve got magic to do,” and last night at the Palm Springs Cultural Center, Broadway’s beloved leading lady, , delivered exactly that—and more. In an evening honoring Dr. Tom Truhe, produced by the ever-brilliant , Boggess was smart, funny, charming, and vocally breathtaking. Her program moved effortlessly from to sultry torch songs of the 1940s, showcasing both range and artistry. Backed by an elegant trio—cello, acoustic bass, and piano—the music was as refined as it was moving. The sold-out audience rose to its feet more than once, a testament to an evening that truly cast a spell. Kudos to the Cultural Center, Dr. Truhe, Carol Fragen, Frank Goldstin and all involved—for reminding us that live performance, at its best, is pure enchantment. .

#8 – 4.17 – Cathedral City Senior Center’s “A Night to Remember” Gala, presented by Steve Tobin & Johnny Krupa @ Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage, was just that—unforgettable. You think you’ve seen everything a gala can offer, and then Frank Goldstin and raise the bar yet again. A glorious setting, imaginative décor, fabulous food, A-list guests, a polished emcee in Patrick Evans, and heartfelt remarks from CEO Geoff Corbin and COO Victor Ide (pictured here on the Joey English Show).
