A
200 year-old tradition comes alive in this participatory presentation of Rumpelstiltskin, presented by The Panto Company USA. Times are hard in Much Muddle-On-The-Marsh, but they get much worse for Daisy when King Melvyn locks her in the stables and demands that she spin all the straw around her into gold. All appears doomed until a strange little man named Rumpelstiltskin appears and offers to help Daisy in exchange for her necklace. But the problems are not all solved as the greedy King wants even more gold. Will the magical Rumpelstiltskin return to help Daisy? If so, what will he ask in return? Just as the miller tells the King that his daughter Daisy can spin straw into gold, this classic tale spins
a golden show full of humor and clap-along songs. The fable is said to have originated around 4,000 years ago, and, as with most fairytales, there are hidden themes dealing with the consequences of dishonesty and greed. No matter what the morals of the story, audience members will be dazzled with the interactive performance. Each admission ticket includes a seat for the show, a complimentary meal and activities such as animal visits following the performance thanks to partners at The Living Desert and Children’s Discovery Museum. Other excitement following the performance out on the Theatre plaza will include food trucks, live music, an interactive photo booth, face-painting and even a few surprises.
The McCallum has found a fun and festive way to kick off their 2019-20 season with adventure and imagination for everyone from toddlers to teens to grown-ups who want to stay young at heart. Proceeds will support theatre operations including McCallum Theatre Education, the Theatre’s awardwinning arts education program that provides arts training to 40,000 students and educators annually at no cost to them, serving 70 percent of Coachella Valley classrooms. The presenting sponsors are The H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation and The City of Palm Desert. This year’s show will charm families with yet another year of memories and magic.

COVER ‘Can’t Fight This Feeling’ with REO Speedwagon live on stage By Alison Elsner REO Speedwagon 8 p.m. Friday, October 18 Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage 32250 Bob Hope Drive Rancho Mirage Tickets $195, $85, $75 and $65 888-999-1995 hotwatercasino.com

udiences can look forward to some “Good Trouble” while rocking along with this group that has charted 13 Top 40 tunes in a nearly 50-year career. Formed in 1967 and fronted by vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, the band’s main constant is their unrelenting drive along with non-stop touring and recording. The legendary group carved a path that was eventually followed by Styx, Kansas and Cheap Trick. Platinum albums and FM radio staples such as “Ridin’ The Storm Out” followed, setting the stage for 1980’s explosive “Hi Infidelity.” REO set
the bar high for rock bands with a RIAA-certified 22 million albums sold in the U.S. and 40 million around the globe, with a string of gold and platinum records and international hit singles. REO’s impact is mind-boggling, considering the ongoing popularity of massive hits like “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run.” Extra points if you know how they got their name: REO Speed Wagon was a 1915 truck designed by Ransom Eli Olds, which original bandmember Neal Doughty learned about in his college class on the history of transportation.

ig & Rich have blazed an indelible trail in modern country music, not simply by breaking the rules, but by setting them on fire. The platinum-selling duo invites audiences to celebrate the release of their album, “Did it For the Party.” These technicolor cowboys follow the creed that great music has no boundaries. Individually, John Rich and Big Kenny are first-rate musicians, songwriters, producers, entertainers…and stage personalities, especially when joined by Cowboy Troy and DJ Sinister. Big & Rich have made a career of being relatable and musically rele-
vant since exploding into the public consciousness in 2003 as the rarest of breeds—true country music game changers. Their 2004 triple-platinum album, “Horse of a Different Color” produced four straight Top 40 country hits including the universally popular “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).” Other hits over the past 16 years include “Run Away with You,” “Comin’ to Your City,” “Lost in This Moment,” “That’s Why I Pray,” “Look at You” and “Lovin’ Lately.” Together, these performers are one of the most truly original musical forces, and our task is to simply sit back and enjoy.

horeography by both emerging and established dancemakers takes center stage in this popular festival, now in its 22nd year, presented by the City of Palm Desert. Exciting original dances are performed by companies from across the nation with winners announced at the conclusion of each performance. Finalists will be selected by a panel from 145 submissions. The event proudly promotes dance as an art form by creating a venue for emerging and established choreographers and developing new dance audiences. This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to dancer, choreographer, artistic director and
professor of hip-hop dance Rennie Harris, visionary founder of Rennie Harris Puremovement, a dance theater company dedicated to preserving and disseminating hip-hop culture. Also featured will be the 13th Annual East Valley Dance Project and The Studio Project, now in its 9th year. These projects give dancers from local studios and students from Desert Mirage High and Toro Canyon Middle Schools in Thermal an opportunity to explore and create with professional choreographers. Both days offer sheer exhilaration, with professional companies showcased on Saturday and pre-professionals on Sunday.

here’s something for every mood and personality here at this perennial favorite which is known for sizable portions, fresh ingredients and top-quality service. Owner Rick Seidner has been serving locals for over 28 years at nearby Rick’s Restaurant, prompting him to open Rick’s Desert Grill a few years back so he could share his Cuban and American style cuisine on a broader scale. Breakfast itself is an adventure with fluffy three-egg omelets like veggie, avocado, ham and cheese, mushroom and Denver ($10.99$13.99). Pancakes, waffles and cereal cover every craving as do the breakfast combinations like Cuban scramble, bacon and eggs, eggs benedict and bagel and lox ($7.99$18.99). If you’re watching your waist, there are lots of healthy op-
tions like cottage cheese, fruit, granola or egg whites. The cocktail menu practically shouts “good times ahead,” with sassy selections like crazy Cuban, classic Cuban mojito, desert pear mojito, blueberry ginger mojito and key lime martini ($7-$9). A complete offering of red and white wines features pours by the glass and bottle, including Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon, Martin Ray Pinot Noir, Los Cardos Malbec, Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel, Joel Gott Chardonnay, Hess Collection Rosé, Terra D’Oro Pinot Grigio and Grand Imperial Brut and Mumm champagne. Spiked coffees tempt with tastes like Amaretto, Havana and Spanish Coffee. There should probably be a disclaimer on the lunch and dinner menus announcing “no dieting allowed,” with cold and hot sand-
wiches, salads and specialty clubs (avocado, vegetarian and turkey, $13.99 each). Signature specials include grilled salmon, sweet meatloaf and fried chicken. Cuban plates and starters feature Cuban burger, Havana burrito, made-to-order nachos, Havana rib-eye sandwich and many more ($7.99-$15.99). Seafood is ocean-fresh, serving pescado asado, catfish, seared grill steak and salmon steak ($16.99-$18.99). And basics like pork chops ($18.99) and Rick’s hamburger always please the palate. There are plenty of á la carte options too, like loaded baked potato, beer battered onion rings and mixed vegetables ($5.95 to $6.29). Finish things up with a yummy desert like the signature flan, and you can easily say you’ve just experienced the perfect meal.

Meant for sharing, the Tavala menu presents Nonna’s meatballs, hearth roasted octopus and butcher block platter ($8-$32). Starters include the pizza parlor chop (salad), tricolore salad and baby kale salad ($11-$14), and “secondi” offers hearth roasted chicken or roasted branzino ($28-$30).

his well-choreographed production of California cuisine has won Cork Tree awards like Open Table’s Diner’s Choice in 2019 and Zagat rating “extraordinary to perfection” in 2013. Characterized by romantic booths, a bustling bar, secluded patio dining, late-night entertainment and impeccable food, it’s clear why Cork Tree is a Palm Desert mainstay. Specialty cocktails include basil-tini, organic margarita, derby spritzer, raspberry lemon drop and cosmo ($12-$14).

loin skewers ($9-$23). Red and white wines by glass range from California to French to Italian ($9 and up). Starters include mini duck confit tacos, wild mushroom ravioli and baby iceberg wedges ($14-$16). Marinated Colorado lamb chops, seared Chilean sea bass and seared jumbo scallops are the stars of the entrée show ($32-$56). Desserts are “must-try,” with sweet dishes like warm apple cinnamon tart, crème brûlée three ways and Dutch molten chocolate cake ($9-$12).

Diners might want to start with a cocktail like rosemary-tini, sidecar,
au pair, sake to me or coco ($13-$17) followed by an appetizer like cheese spätzel or 8 escargots ($14-$18). Menu entrées include pork medallions saltimbocca my way, sear roasted wild isle salmon, Japanese spice crusted ahi tuna and plenty of others taste treats ($29-$42). And a visit here wouldn’t be complete without presentations from the Schnitzel Lover’s Menu, offering schnitzel like organic chicken wiener, Jager, peppercorn, caper-lemon, mama’s and more ($27-$36). Menus are complemented by a massive International wine list, including Austrian selections, making it easy to understand Chef Bacher’s favorite saying, ““Eat well, live better.”

T
his new musical comedy, presented by College of the Desert’s (COD) Performing Arts, takes the stage just in time for Halloween. This family friendly, comical feast lovingly embraces the wackiness in every family. Fans of the famous family, especially those who may recall the classic television show which aired for two seasons on ABC from 1964 to 1966, can look forward to this original story. A situation that is probably every father’s nightmare, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that’s not upset-
ting enough for worried parents, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams (dad) must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the entire brood on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s normal “boyfriend” and his parents. As with most stories of fiction, there’s an undercurrent of something deeper. Much of the humor in the family and the situations they find themselves in are a result of their culture clash with the rest of the world. They invariably treat normal visitors with great warmth and courtesy, unaware that some of their guests often have bad intentions. And, of course,
characters that are burned into our memories forever include Lurch, the towering butler, Thing, a disembodied hand that appears from within a small wooden box and silly but endearing Cousin Itt. This production of The Addams Family will be presented with complete staging and full live Broadway orchestrations, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. COD Performing Arts is regarded as one of the more impressive in the region in terms of talented performers, high level production quality and professional management. Audiences will be able to revisit this favorite story, all the while expecting some spooky twists and sweet turns.

Calendar of events and performances Here’s to good taste at the Concours d’Elegance Car Show and Chili Cook-Off By Alison Elsner Concours d’Elegance Car Show and Chili Cook-Off 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, October 26 Palm Springs Air Museum 745 N. Gene Autry Trail Palm Springs Car show included with regular museum admission. Chili tastes $1 per taste or six tastes for $5 plus admission fee 760-778-6262 psam.org
A
tasty chili cook-off is usually enough to bring people out in droves, but add in cherry classic cars on display and you’ve got the perfect showcase of food, fun and entertainment. The Air Museum will host hungry guests, ready to sample chili recipes prepared by Museum volunteers – and attendees get to vote on which is best, from spicy to sweet. It’s even rumored that inside the two hangars, the multiple chili tasting stations will be handing out candy to encourage the trick-or-treaters to vote for their favorite recipe. Just in time for Halloween, this
is more than just a feast for the eyes and the tummy. Over 100 classic vehicles will be on site, and last year’s returning participants are Palm Springs Cruisin’ Association, Sun ‘n’ Sand Region of the Antique Car Club of America, Desert Classic Car Association and Packard Automobile Classics. Last year’s highlights included a 1933 Packard 8, a 1925 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, a 1931 Packard and a 1941 Cadillac. Car show awards will be announced at 2 p.m. Proceeds benefit the Palm Springs Air Museum and The American Outreach Foundation.

34th annual Tram Road Challenge: bring on the burn By Alison Elsner
34th Annual Tram Road Challenge 6 a.m. registration 7 a.m. start time Saturday, October 26 Registration 15 and over $40 (through Oct. 25), $45 (race day) 14 and under $25 (through Oct. 25), $35 (race day) 760-832-0497 kleinclarksports.com/tram
N
ot for the faint of heart – nor for those whose quads aren’t ready for the burn – the 2019 Tram Road Challenge, produced by Klein Clark Sports, again promises to be the ultimate quest to the top. Walkers, runners and crawlers will be competing to see who can make it up the 3.5 mile incline to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway’s Valley Station, seeking coveted awards in a variety of age categories after completing the 6K “race.” However, every single participant will receive a finisher’s medal. For 33 years, seasoned athletes
and casual fitness buffs have been signing up, starting at 400 feet in elevation and climbing to over 2,600 feet. With over 1,500 participants ranging from 5 to 95, this challenge requires very little training – but by no means is it easy. Registrants can look forward to refreshments, vendor expo booths, awards and prizes at the finish line – oh, and buses to get back down the hill! Service dogs are welcome to walk with their families, and water bowls will be provided at three fluid stations on the course – for the pups as well as for the humans.

R
accoons may wear their masks all year long, but Howl-OWeen is a wildly popular event for the entire human family, just in time for Halloween. Two days of spooktacular fun at this 25th annual celebration will feature arts and crafts, animal encounters, live entertainment, a magician, refreshments and carnival games like pumpkin bowling and Quidditch. But don’t worry, it’s not too scary for the youngest ones. There will be more than a thousand themed Halloween lights and décor throughout most of the park, and guests are encouraged to show-up dressed in favorite costumes to visit more than 20 trick-or-
treat stations. Little ghosts, goblins and superheroes can visit the park’s African animals, trick or treat with the cheetahs and zebras, say boo to the warthogs and wander through Village WaTuTu. And who doesn’t want to try out the monster maze and the wizard workshop? Sponsored by the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation, the Halloween-themed event gives kids and families a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the animals while learning about species conservation efforts. Sound effects from the zoo critters are included.

A
side from being modern and hip, Bart is the evolution of owner Michael Murphy’s love for art, music and the occasional cocktail. A contraction of “bar” and “art,” this funky establishment keeps guests returning every night for something new. Deep House Sundays showcase deep, soulful and eclectic vibes with special guest DJs. On Mondays, it’s 2-4-1 Drinks night, serving up two for one beers and well drinks while moving and grooving to the TouchTunes jukebox. A great way to battle the Tuesday night blues is with Tequila Tuesdays, where customers can choose from Patron, Cazadores, 1800 and Hornitos for only $3. On Whiskey Wednesdays, it’s a choice of Jameson, Jack Daniels or
Jim Beam for just $4. Next up it’s Meh…Thursday, where all beers, whiskey, tequila and vodka pours are $4 each. Friday brings on the Rambo’s Beer Pong Competition, with a $150 cash prize, along with dancing to high energy sounds from DJ LF Hymn. The weekends continue to heat up, with live entertainment from performers like BaLonely, The Swells, KVR and YxV, with well drinks and beers served up all night for only $5 and $4.50. Other featured performances might include Ratchet Perreo, Dxsko, JPatron, Million and Ztein McFly. Candela Nights feature La Cachimba live DJ sets by LF!, Bachata, Musica Latina, Reggaeton and Cumbia. Games will bring out your playful side, with Monopoly, Jenga, giant
Jenga, Life, Operation, Battleship, Candyland, Mouse Trap, Chutes & Ladders, Scrabble, chess, checkers, dominos and even corn hole bag toss. Two video arcade games – The Simpsons and Street Fighter – keep things lively, and free Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Game Cube are both right at the bar. All of this is complemented by displays of original artwork and a patio pool table. Specialty drinks include Purple Rain, Moscow Mule, Ectocooler, Totoro, Mexican candy, Punk Me Tender, Bartini and many more ($6.50$10). Patrons are welcome to bring food in from outside, but chances are hunger will be the last thing on your mind with all of the excitement here every night of the week.

O
ctober is a good month to see at least one of these two popular Palm Canyon Theatre shows, if not both. October 10-13: Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” is a 1953 play that dramatizes the partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1692 to 1693. During the tense era of McCarthyism in the early ‘50s, Miller was inspired to write a drama reflecting the mass cultural and political hysteria produced when the U.S. government sought to suppress Communism and radical leftist activity in America. Dr. William J. Layne directs, JW Layne created the set and lighting design, and Derik Shopinski designed the costumes. Curtain Time: “The Crucible,” Thursday, October at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, October 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 13 at 2 p.m. Palm Canyon Theatre, 538 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs.

October 25-November 17: Back by popular demand is the camp musical “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” based on the 1994 movie, “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.” When drag queen Tick agrees to take his act on the road, he invites his friends, a crossdresser and a transsexual, to come along. In their colorful bus they called Priscilla, the three performers travel the Australian desert performing for enthusiastic aborigines and homophobic white locals. But when the other two performers learn the truth about why Tick wanted to go on this questionable cultural adventure, it threatens their act and their friendship. Co-starring are Ben Reece, Ronald Coronado, Jay Espano, Luke Rainey, with Allegra Angelo, Haley Izurieta and Jasmine Shaffer as the Divas. Richard Marlowe directs and Se Layne created the choreography, with set design by Toby Griffin, lighting by JW Layne and costume design by Derik Shopinski and Mat Tucker. Curtain Time: “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” Friday and Saturday, October 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. Sunday, October 27 at 2 p.m. Thursday, October 31 at 7 p.m. Palm Canyon Theatre, 538 North Palm Canyon Drive. For tickets and November dates and times 760-323-5123 or palmcanyontheatre.org.
Dezart Performs fundraiser On Monday and Tuesday, October 7 and 8, Cathy Schenkelberg’s explosive one-woman show, “Squeeze My Cans – Surviving Scientology,” will be more than just an audition to be Tom Cruise’s girlfriend. It is a trip down a volcanic rabbit hole, presented by Rancho Mirage’s Dezart Performs as a fundraiser. The Church of Scientology had Schenkelberg for 14 years of her young, adult life. It took another five years for her to escape in the face of harassing phone calls, midnight knocks on her door by “outreach” staffers, an expensive custody battle and social rejection. NOTE: For one time only, Dezart Performs is working in collaboration with Desert Rose Playhouse and will be presenting this show at the Desert Rose Playhouse venue, Curtain Time: “Squeeze My Cans – Surviving Scientology,” 7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, October 7 and 8, Dezart Performs, for this show only at Desert Rose Playhouse, 69620 East Palm Canyon Drive, Rancho Mirage. Tickets and information, 760-322-0179 or dezartperforms.org.

‘Die! Mommie, Die!’ at Desert Rose Playhouse Charles Busch’s popular “Die! Mommie, Die!” kicks off Desert Rose Playhouse’s new season October 4-27. Ex-cabaret siren Angela Arden is no longer in love with her husband and is disconnected from her children. In an attempt to escape her marriage so that she can be with a hunky layabout, she poisons her husband. But when she begins to suspect that her daughter and gay son are also sleeping with her paramour — and they in turn begin to suspect their mother had a role in their father’s death — everything begins to fall apart. Curtain Time: “Die! Mommie, Die!’” by Charles Busch, October 4-27, Desert Rose Playhouse, 69620 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage. Tickets and information 760-202-3000 or desertroseplayhouse.org.
‘12 Angry Men’ at Desert Theatreworks One of early live TV’s premier writers was Reginald Rose, who wrote for “The Defenders,” “The Twilight Zone” and “Studio One,” which included the enduring play “12 Angry Men,” which has been produced as sometimes more politically correct “12 Angry Women” or “12 Angry Jurors.” But Desert Theatreworks and Director Michael Pacas will go the traditional way as Director Michael Pacas directs Ed Lefkowitz, Lee Padick, Jerry Prager, Stan Jenson, Miguel Arballo, Patrick Sawyer, Brian Johnson, Larry Dyekman, Stephen Blackwell and Tim Cagney. The well-known plot revolves around Juror number 8 (their names are never given) and why he is the only holdout for a 12-0 conviction of a young Puerto Rican boy on trial for murder. It’s a brilliant study of why certain people rush to judgment and put their own “needs” before the truth.. Like Juror 8, the individual audience member goes in with a sense of “tabula rasa” (a clean slate) and can consider only the evidence presented, not his own biases. Curtain Time: “12 Angry Men” by Reginald Rose, 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, October 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, October 6 at 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday, October 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, October 13 at 2 p.m. Desert Theatreworks, Indio Performing Arts Center, 45175 Fargo Street, Indio. Tickets $35 general, $30 senior/military, $25 18 and under, 760-980-1455 or dtworks.org.
