‘Footloose’
Cuts Loose at Palm Canyon Theatre An iconic story from the ‘80s will dance its way to the Palm Canyon Theatre, as Footloose opens there July 8. The musical is based on the Paramount Pictures film of the same name and includes favorite hits as “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear it for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Almost Paradise,” “I’m Free,” and more. The story centers around Ren McCormack, played by Bobby Burkich, who moves to a small town where the local government has banned dancing and rock music. As Ren deals with common coming-of-age issues, he also manages to lead his classmates around the law and Reverend Shaw Moore, played by John Lawson, to have a real senior prom. This is Burkich and Lawson’s first production with Palm Canyon Theatre, but they are both seasoned actors. Originally from New York, Burkich currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He was recently in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at the Glendale Centre Theatre, and following Footloose, he will be back in Glendale as Billy Crocker in Anything Goes. Lawson has been acting for decades including roles on the long-running television series “Law and Order” and “Law and Order: SVU.”
The cast of Footloose Footloose is directed by Shafik Wahhab, who also directed The Addams Family and Cabaret at PCT this season. The show is choreographed by Jacqueline LaBlanc, who also holds choreography credits at PCT this season for The Addams Family, Sugar and Cabaret. The cast includes many local actors, including several budding teen stars. Footloose opens Friday, July 8, and runs weekends through Sunday, July 17.

Had a lovely visit with my two kids on the third. Keith is back in California recuperating from knee surgery in Redondo Beach. He is able to walk on the beach for exercise. Jacki has taken up a new hobby, vegetable gardening in pots in her apartment yard. She shared a picture of an eggplant growing. We had lunch at Pho Vietnamese restaurant near Vons and caught up on all the immediate family news. Coffee Time on the fourth, Donna read several things that pertained to our celebration of our nation. Betty H. shared a lovely picture of Jeannette sent from her new house. Fourth of July potluck was held. Several ladies stepped in after Nancy A. had husband duty, who came down with pneumonia. The tables

were festive with flag and flower decorations in red, white and blue. There were about 30 at the potluck with plenty of variety of salads. Fried chicken was supplied by the social club. Desert was small cupcakes and root beer floats. The evening of the fourth - 240th anniversary of America, and l00 years of the National Parks System celebration. Channel 8 had the Capitol 4th celebration, channel 13 had the Macy’s celebration and channel 2 The Boston Pops music. Lots of festivities. I finished my binge watching with the Boston Pops. All the fireworks reminded me of childhood watching the beautiful ones at the Hudson River. The fifth of July dawned with bright flamingo clouds. I had picked up an old fish shaped pillow down at the Koi pond and out popped a small lizard. What a start to a beautiful day!

HOROSCOPE JULY 7 - JULY 13 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t make other people happy if they don’t want to be. But for the most part, they do want to be, and all it takes is a little sweetness from you today to push them into cheerfulness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in the mood to blast outside of your known realm to experience something practically unrecognizable to you in your current version of reality. For maximum security in this venture, take a guide. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The job on the table today is so big and involved, there’s no way you can accomplish it single-handedly. With both your hands and two or three capable people on your team, you’ll work miracles. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve chased after dreams before — and caught a few, too. Then there are those you lost in the pursuit; maybe you even felt like you lost yourself. Because you had that experience, you’ll help someone else today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The only people who never fail are those who never try. Your courage is turned up, and you’re even more receptive to intuition than usual. One remarkable move could change everything for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The offer on the table will last three days. So, though there’s time to think it over, you should also know that the longer you wring your hands in indecision, the less enthusiastic the other party will be about the deal.
8
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Shared joy multiplies; it’s the same with optimism and excitement. In the sharing of grief, the opposite emotional math occurs. This is why you don’t mind a friend unburdening on you. Together you’ll make the load bearable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have people in your fold who are more animated than the others, always with extra excitement going on. They take more energy, but they also generate more energy. Today you’ll find them quite worth the effort. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s a funny world you’re in and it will almost seem as though the people around you are deliberately putting on a comedy just for you. Your kindred one will see the humor, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Decisiveness is a part of you now - it’s in your bones. When you make a move, you’ll do it quickly so only the ones who are tuned into you will have time to track it and join you or counter your efforts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Pleasantness and good cheer is a talent. There’s a bubbly charm inside you, but you don’t always feel it’s appropriate to release it. You can turn on this effervescence at will. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re powerfully tuned in to the physical world, and as you move your body, this connects you to the world beyond, where secret knowledge is imparted and creativity flows strong.

When fresh berries and peaches are piled up at the store, bring home a basket and make a fruit crisp. It’s easier than pie, yet still delivers the crunchy, buttery goodness that goes so well with sweet fruit. This version features oats and pistachios in the topping, and you can use any berries you’d like (even frozen). Serve with vanilla ice cream, and you’ve got a taste of summer in a bowl.

For filling, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently. Set aside at least 10 minutes to allow fruit to begin releasing its juices. Mix fruit again just before using. 2. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. 3. For topping, combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until crumbly, 30 seconds.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar • 2 tablespoons cornstarch • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 lemon, finely grated grind and juice
4. Pour filling into prepared pan. Top with streusel mixture and press lightly with your hands to secure filling. Bake about one hour, until golden brown and bubbly. Serves 10.
