CELEBRATING THE RESIDENTIAL PARK COMMUNITIES FOR 63 YEARS
Sister act a divine musical comedy at Palm Canyon Theatre
By Alison Elsner Thanks to Whoopie Goldberg, “Sister Act” has created such a following that the live stage version sells out everywhere, as I’m sure it will for the March 15-25 run at Palm Canyon Theatre.
Nicole Tillman plays disco diva Deloris Van Cartier, on the run from her gangster boyfriend and his thugs. She finds safety witness protection in a convent, where she turns life upside down – in a good and tuneful way. Co-starring are Robbie Wayne
(who also directs and choreographs), Anthony Nannini, Ben Reece, Morgana Corelli, Elizabeth Schmelling, Jasmine Shaffer and Amanda Burr. “Sister Act,” performances are 7 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday; 2
p.m. Sunday. The musical is on stage from now through March 25 at the Palm Canyon Theatre, located at 538 Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. Tickets are $32-$36, student tickets are $15 with valid ID. For tickets or more information, call 760-3235123 or visit palmcanyontheatre.org.
Fashion week El Paseo sashays into the desert By Alison Elsner Every year, this is the place to see and be seen — pure fun and excitement, no matter what one’s station in life. But it’s much more than strutting down the catwalk and air kissing with friends. The celebration takes place once again under the Runway Tent on the
top deck of The Gardens on El Paseo and showcases the newest collections by top designers as well as fresh ideas by emerging talents. The Palm Springs Life event is sponsored by El Paseo Jewelers and presented by Franklin Loan Center, and it is the largest fashion week on the west coast. In addition to the cocktail parties and runway
shows, there is a myriad of in-store events up and down El Paseo. Evening events include a pre-reception and after-party for the daily and nightly themed events such as Le Chien: Le Dogue en Vogue, Meet and Greet with local boymade-it-big Michael Costello and Finale Night featuring Ralph Rucci, among many others.
Trunk shows are free, and tickets and packages start at $80. Let the coiffing begin. El Paseo Fashion Week runs from March 17-24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Events take place at The Gardens on El Paseo, 73545 El Paseo in Palm Desert.
