“Just so you know, if you’ve got any background sounds we can hear, I will mute you. The same goes for distracting movement; I’ll ‘mute’ your video,” I say. I strive to be a role model of Zoom decorum. I have set up my office space to maximize my streaming presence. I burn a lavender candle to my right (off-camera) for mood enhancement; I have lights that bounce off the ceiling to create ambient light, and my laptop is set up so that a viewer will see me from mid-chest up. I have the proper ratio of headspace above me. I am framed, OK? I have a B.A. in film and theater from UC Irvine, so I know what I’m doing regarding lighting and set decoration.

Thanks to the pandemic, you’d think everyone would have figured these things out by now. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case. I’ve been coaching writers online for three years. This experience led me to design Three Zoom Commandments, the breaking of which can get you muted, at least in my meetings. These infractions can be endearing in less formalized settings like family calls. “Grandpa! We can only see your teeth; can you turn your computer so the light shines on your face?”

I try to share my experience when it’s warranted. For example, while taking an online seminar, I texted the leader to tell her that she looked like a bobblehead with no body. She was wearing black against a completely black background. Her name covered her chin. It was hard to believe that no one else had spoken to her about her on-camera presence, which reminded me of that ’80s show “Max Headroom.” (Look it up.) I gave her the remedies: Put a light source on the floor behind her so she had subtle backlighting, sit on some pillows, re-aim her camera, have some lights in front of her, etc. Voilá! The following week, she appeared as the professional she really is. Frame yourself properly. If your chin looks like it’s on a win-

dowsill, it’s distracting. Do these folks not understand that they can adjust their camera angles to center their mugs in their square?

In this spirit, here are my Three Commandments of the Zoom-iverse:

Thou Shalt Not Amble — Please don’t walk around with your device. It makes me want to heave. Really. That also applies to rocking back and forth in a chair or bouncing. Any activity that would disrupt meetings in real life (IRL) applies to Zoom … times 10. On-camera movement in your own little square is a more intense experience than you might think. That also applies to using moving backgrounds. They can be pretty and subtle, like the gently rolling surf of a tropical beach. However, I’ll never forget one participant having a live video of a roller coaster as their background. I ordinarily love roller coasters, but forcing other participants to run and get barf bags is a big no-no. Speaking of unwanted movement on camera, “pulling” a Toobin is totally verboten. (Look that up, too.)

Thou Shalt Not Blather — Whether online or in person, so many people blather these days! They can’t seem to keep track of how long they’ve talked or how many times they made the same point, over and over and over … like I just did. (Uh-oh.) If you attempt to talk over a blatherer, which many people try to do, no one will be heard. Seriously. I assume if you’re talking, you do want to be heard, right?

In some groups, you may need to be proactive and say, “I’d like the floor for the next few minutes without interruption.” Learning to say what you need out loud could be a source of growth for some of us.

Thou Shalt Not Chew Anything — I have a personal rule that I won’t eat on camera unless I’ve given someone advance notice or it’s one-on-one with a close friend. As a teacher, never! As a student, occasionally and if so, I turn off my video so people don’t have to watch me masticate. I can’t stand gum chewing IRL, a habit that normal people often tolerate. Apparently, I’m not that normal: I find gum chewing extremely distracting. If you’re attempting to focus on what someone else is saying, but your eyes drift to the mechanical, mouth-open, cow-like motions coming from another’s Zoom square, it will upstage what other people are saying. I hate it, OK? And, if I hate it, others also despise the practice but aren’t able to tell you to nip it.

Here are a couple of miscellaneous peeves:

• Don’t let Fluffy or Fido saunter across your screen unless, of course, everyone is introducing their fur babies. Every actor in the world knows that animals and kids will upstage anything else that’s happening.

• Please don’t sleep on camera. You wouldn’t nap during an in-person meeting, so don’t do it on Zoom.

If I seem a tad too militant about Zoom-iquette, so be it. Zoom is here to stay, folks; it’s even become a verb.

Redefining Health Care

Former Compton Mayor Aja Brown joins Nudj Health

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

Former mayor of the city of Compton and co-founder of Compton Community Development Corporation Aja Brown has joined Pasadena-based lifestyle medicine company Nudj Health as the organization’s strategic adviser, helping steer policy strategies aimed at combating health inequity and disparities.

“I’ve always been focused and committed to creating pathways to extend equity to people everywhere, especially underserved communities,” Brown said of the move. “I thought it was a really powerful opportunity to engage in the health space because I recognize firsthand that if a person is not healthy, if they are not in a space of wellness, it’s very hard to navigate through life, especially if they are overcoming systemic barriers.

“I made the decision specifically with Nudj because their values really align with mine and their perspective, care and respect for underserved people and families really resonated with me.”

During the pandemic, health disparities and inequities throughout LA were laid bare, with factors like race, social-economic status and geographical location impacting access to and quality of health care. In South LA, for example, where high levels of poverty are pervasive, more people reportedly die of lung cancer, stroke, diabetes and heart disease than any other region in the county.

“According to the Social Progress Index, the U.S. ranks 88 out of 169 countries in providing equal access to quality health care to its citizens. This is unacceptable, and Nudj Health is on a mission to change this,” said Yuri Sudhakar, who founded Nudj Health in 2021. “Aja shares our passion to eradicate health inequalities and establish Nudj as a key player in the fight against health disparities so that our services are more accessible and affordable to low-income patients.”

Nudj Health specializes in providing nationwide telehealth mental health and therapeutic interventions centered around

six interconnected lifestyle areas: stress management, physical activity, sleep quality, social support, behavioral risks and nutrition.

The company uses the “collaborative care model,” which connects multiple health providers and allows them to communicate with each other and create shared care plans for a patient’s diagnosis and treatment.

This model helps reduce duplicate assessments and ensure that the patient’s needs for both physical and mental health care can be met in a single location. Brown said that it can also help remove barriers to health care.

“The standard health system is based on a structure of care that really is inconsistent and antiquated with how underserved populations need to access care,” she said. “The billing structure really creates an inequity with the quality of care that underserved people are able to actually receive. If a person that receives care in these systems has an issue and they go to the doctor and they need to extend a follow up appointment, they actually have to go home and make a new appointment and then come back to the doctor.

“Follow-up appointments are very difficult for certain populations relative to transportation, access and other issues. When people are in the doctor, it’s best to extend the care that they need in real time, just as affluent people are able to access care on-site. I think that that’s intrinsically a barrier that should be addressed and that it specifically creates the infrastructure to be able to care for people in a respectful and equitable way.”

According to reports, approximately 29% of adults with a medical condition in the United States also have some form of mental health disorder and over $3.4 trillion of U.S. health care expenditures, 90% of total costs, are spent on patients with both chronic disease and behavioral health issues each year. Brown said that these problems require a new approach to health care nationwide.

“There’re huge bodies of evidence that

mental health directly dictates physical health,” she explained. “Being able to provide a continuum of care that takes those data factors into account and devises a wellness plan that doesn’t just react to symptoms, but really focuses on the causal factors of identifying the source of infirmities and treating them from a holistic and proactive approach, is really powerful.”

In her new role, Brown hopes to establish Nudj Health as a trusted equity leader by advising on operations, like how the company deploys its services in underserved communities and closes the gap on health disparities in LA and beyond.

“Health is truly a cornerstone to creating whole people, families and communities … (and) there’s still a huge opportunity in terms of bridging access with technology to underserved community members,” she said. “My hope is that all

people, regardless of their economic standpoint, are able to access a high-quality continuum of care right where they are. I believe that there’s so much data that suggests the benefits of having regular touchpoints with patients that are suffering from chronic diseases or even mental health issues that generally lead to other physical ailments.

“I believe that, through Nudj, we’ll be able to really redefine the care model for people that are dealing with recurring health challenges, but then also being able to provide a holistic approach to care so that we don’t have to wait until someone has a heart attack before they are provided with proactive tools to address mental health and other issues that do have linking factors to physical outcomes. … Nudj is going to be a powerful force in helping to redefine care, specifically through the lens of equity and access.”

SUMMER FUN

Vintage is New Again

Neon Retro Arcade brings a bit of history to Old Pasadena

By Kristine Pascual Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Mark and Mia Guenther do not believe that arcade games are throwaway, outdated technology.

They’re also much more than games. They’re history. So, the couple opened Neon Retro Arcade, which features games from the 1990s to the 2000s, on Raymond Avenue in Old Pasadena.

“We have always wanted to open a business together, something that was our own, a creation of our own,” Mia said.

Neon Retro Arcade opened in January 2015, and over the years it collected arcade games through auctions and online sales and restored them. Business owners and game fanatics were tossing their games in the trash.

“They weren’t making money at arcades anymore, and Mark thought it was really sad that nobody was preserving these and treating them like the pieces of American history that they were,” she said.

The couple fell in love over arcade games. Mark had a pinball machine in his dorm and sparks flew after they played together.

With Neon Retro Arcade, they wanted to “recreate the excitement and fun of the classic arcade, minus the pizza grease and sticky floors. Neon is a clean, welcoming

environment for gamers of all ages to enjoy these classic games.”

Everything vintage is in again and gamers are appreciating the history behind

these pieces — so much so that it is difficult to acquire games.

Stepping into the Neon Retro Arcade feels like entering a 1980s dream; an arcade that would perfectly fit into the world of “Stranger Things.” With bright and colorful lights surrounding the room and joy from all ages, the Neon Retro Arcade is a must see this summer.

Many classic games are offered here including icons like Donkey Kong and Street Fighter. The beauty of the arcade is that it introduces the love of gaming to newer generations, allowing them to immerse themselves into a sliver of what their parents’ lives might have been like. There are even modern games for those who prefer them.

“With some young kids, they haven’t had access to old school games so they might be intimidated by them or think they’re boring,” she said.

“They can always start with a modern game and then venture into the other games once they get more comfortable.”

Though there are many games, most people have a favorite — including Mia.

“Right now, I would say a pinball machine called Funhouse,” she said. “It’s not a flashy game. Most people don’t know about it. It’s from the ’90s. It’s just one of those games that I could play anytime, any day.”

Visitors can pay $15 for an hour of game play or $25 for the entire day, leaving room for times to come in and out of the arcade. Reservations are accepted. All games are set to free play, so no need to worry about having enough quarters or buying a game pass.

Revving Up Fans

FuelFest brings ‘The Fast and the Furious’ to life

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Cody Walker and Tyrese Gibson were catching up at Red Lobster when the conversation turned to Cody’s late brother, Paul, of “The Fast and the Furious” franchise.

Cody told Gibson about he and Chris Lee’s plan to host festival surrounding allthings cars called FuelFest. Gibson was in.

Following two record-setting shows in West Palm Beach and Fort Worth, FuelFest will return for a fifth time to LA at Irwindale Speedway from 2 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 3.

Hosted by Walker and Gibson, FuelFest blends enthusiasts’ passion for the automotive world with drifting and ridealongs, celebrities, live music and culture.

This year, the show will feature more than 600 top custom, exotic, rare and exclusive cars and trucks combined with drift exhibitions, off-road demos, and new interactive exhibits and experiences.

“I feel like what makes our event special is they’re very approachable,” Walker said. “They’re not just for hardcore motorheads. I think there are a lot of car events that cater more to just the track rats or the hardcore fans.

“We appeal to the mainstream as well. We get people out to our show who aren’t necessarily just hardcore enthusiasts. People are interested who have never experienced motorsports or a car show before.”

FuelFest also reflects the multicultural cast of “The Fast and the Furious.”

“If you look at FuelFest,” Walker said. “What’s made ‘The Fast and the Furious’ as a movie franchise so popular all these years is it caters to all.

“All the different types of cars they have in the films — everything from Japanese tuners cars to American muscle cars— that’s what we’re doing at our shows, too. That’s the allure of the whole thing. Our demographic is just incredible. We are so diverse, just like the films. That’s why ‘The Fast and the Furious’ is so popular. It’s so diverse, and it has a multicultural cast. There’s somebody in that franchise that everybody can relate to in some way, shape or form. Everybody gets together and celebrates the culture.”

Walker is excited about the addition of Monster Trucks.

“We have Monster Trucks, which are going to be really fun to see,” he said. “It’s an all-new experience for people to see. They can ride with drift drivers, too, and experience what that’s like from inside the car, which is always a blast. It puts a huge grin on my face, whenever I’ve done it.”

A portion of the event’s proceeds benefit Reach Out WorldWide, the nonprofit founded by Paul and continued by Cody.

The organization was created by the late actor and producer in 2010 after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti. He was inspired to organize a relief team that responded to the disaster.

ROWW’s mission is to fill the gap between the availability of skilled resources in post-disaster situations. As of 2022, ROWW has raised over $300,000 through its FuelFest events to benefit those in need and has deployed to several disaster areas including Tampa Bay following Hurricane Ian and Turkey following devastating earthquakes.

Additionally, Cody and Felicia Walker collaborated with The Weather Channel in 2022 on a new series “Fast: Home Rescue,” to help rebuild homes across the United States that were impacted by natural disasters.

“It’s amazing,” he said of fans’ response. “I am so grateful for all of that support. Honestly, it blows my mind. We miss my brother very much, every day. To put on a fun event that’s upbeat and celebrates car culture and gives back

to Reach Out WorldWide has been an absolute dream. It’s great to create something sustainable that also does good.”

The 2023 FuelFest World Tour will also make its way to New Jersey; Las Vegas; Scottsdale; and internationally to Tokyo, Germany and Abu Dhabi.

“This year, we’re returning to Japan and headed to Germany for the first time, in

October,” Walker said.

“We’re over the moon about that. We’ll be returning again to the UAE at the end of year in December again. It’s been incredible. We’re planning ahead for 2024 with new markets. We have such an incredible, small team. I’m so proud of everybody. They work so stinking hard. It takes a lot to put these on.”

WHEN: 2 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 3

WHERE: Irwindale Speedway, 500 Speedway Drive, Irwindale

Unprecedented Growth

ONT, Greater Ontario emerge as SoCal’s newest destination

The iconic curved ceilings at Ontario International’s two terminals have been the setting for numerous films and commercials.

By Steve Lambert Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Ten million.

That’s the number of Southern Californians who live or work closer to Ontario International (ONT) than any other airport — an astonishing number when you consider how crowded the region’s aviation landscape is. Then again, no part of SoCal is experiencing the kind of robust population, economic and employment growth that Ontario’s primary market — the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley — is continuing to see.

According to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the IE will grow as double the pace of the rest of SoCal through 2048, as career opportunities and awareness of the region’s many assets — affordability, abundant natural amenities and popular destinations such as Ontario Mills Mall and the Toyota Arena — continue to grow.

It’s no wonder, then, that SCAG also projects ONT’s eventual passenger capacity to

DIRECTED BY

reach 30 million annually — five times its current levels.

The impact of all of this is significant. A 2022 study by Oxford Economics placed Ontario International’s economic impact at $3.8 billion per year, with visitors alone spending nearly $1.6 billion per year. All of that supports nearly 28,000 jobs and makes ONT the Inland Empire biggest economic driver.

It doesn’t end there:

• According to GOCAL, formerly the Greater Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau, more than 180,000 people are employed in the leisure and hospitality industry across the IE, ranking it among the top industries in the region. Add to that the indirect and induced jobs created as a result of the hospitality sector, and it’s an industry that supports hundreds of thousands of families across the region.

• Tourism, meetings and conventions in Greater Ontario are projected to generate more than $80 million in economic impact

Ontario

for the fiscal year ending June.

• Brightline West’s decision to place its planned Las Vegas-to-SoCal transit stops in Apple Valley and Rancho Cucamonga underscore the growing value that outside groups see in the IE as a destination.

It’s also resulting in huge dollars being invested in the new Cucamonga Station and the nearby mixed-use developments.

• The proposed expansion plans for the Ontario Convention Center and around the Toyota Arena have set the stage for a true entertainment district in the Inland Empire, including a live performing arts theater and the California Sports Hall of Fame. Both Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga are developing housing options that align with that vision, creating a gateway to the IE unlike anything outside of Downtown LA.

More than 6 million passengers will travel through Ontario International Airport this year, a 33% increase since the airport’s return to local ownership in 2016.

conferences in the past 12 months — a rare feat but indicative of the airport’s growing stature among airport professionals.

Accolades aside, Ontario’s priority are the customers and communities it serves.

ONT is at the center of all of this. Since its return to local ownership in 2016, Ontario has seen a 33% increase in passenger volumes, despite a pandemic that severely disrupted air travel across the world. In 2022, ONT was among a select group of airports that, for the full year, exceeded pre-pandemic levels. In 2023, nearly 6 million passengers will travel through Ontario, lured by convenient access, an exceptional customer experience and a growing number of flights and destinations. Today, ONT offers nonstop service to nearly two dozen destinations in the United States, Mexico, Central America and Taiwan.

On the passenger experience side, ONT has emerged as an innovation leader, introducing popular services such as ONT+, which allows the nontraveling to obtain a digital pass to access the post-security side of the two terminals — to drop off or pick up friends and family at the gate and enjoy the airport’s growing number of restaurants and shops.

All of which is something local leaders had in mind when the push to return ONT to local ownership began more than a decade ago.

“Our community and region passionately support ONT, and we have committed to doing everything in our power to create an airport experience unlike any other,” says Alan D. Wapner, president of the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA) Board of Commissioners.

Today, ONT is one of the industry’s great success stories — recognized by Global Traveler magazine as the fastest-growing airport in the United States for five consecutive years. As a result of its success, ONT has hosted two international airport industry

“We believe that going to the airport should be an adventure. It’s a philosophy that’s instilled throughout our organization as we balance our extraordinary growth with the convenience and positive traveler experience that have been our hallmark,” said Atif Elkadi, OIAA’s chief executive officer.

And the best is yet to come. The OIAA Board of Commissioners is committed to developing a new international terminal and has agreed to name it — as well as the current international facility — after U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a supporter of ONT’s return to local control. Exciting new transit options into and out of the airport have been proposed or are under development. These include a zero-emission bus rapid transit system and a proposed underground transit connections between the airport and the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink station.

Inside the airport’s two terminals, new restaurants and retail experiences are opening up, premium airport lounges are up and running, and plans are underway for expanded and streamlined security checkpoints. Newly launched initiatives such as the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program are creating even greater access for travelers — in the case of Sunflower, providing a simple tool for passengers to voluntarily share that they have a disability that might not be immediately apparent, and would need a little extra help, time and understanding while at the airport.

“The last thing we’re ever going to do is rest on our laurels,” Elkadi said. “We know we need to continue to innovative and continue to build on all that has been done up until now to make Ontario the destination of choice for millions of Southern Californians.”

Platinum Anniversary

Boston Court Pasadena to celebrate birthday with community

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Twenty-one years ago, Boston Court Pasadena was a mere parking lot.

That’s until philanthropist Z. Clark Branson bought the land to give back to the Pasadena arts community.

Boston Court Pasadena emerged and it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary with the Summer Soiree from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 3.

“The Summer Soiree is happening because Boston Court is turning 20 years old, which is shockingly unbelievable to me,” said Jessica Kubzansky, artistic director.

“I’ve been here since inception. I cannot believe that 20 years have gone by. June 3 is an open house that is designed to celebrate that. Anyone in our community can attend. We have the amazing Nolan Shaheed, an incredible Pasadena jazz trumpeter, and his band playing sets throughout the event.”

The open house will also feature facility tours, fun activities, crafts activities in the lobby, and highlights from Boston Court’s history on the main stage.

“It’s just a day to celebrate the fact that we are around and, miraculously, still going strong all these many years later,” she said.

Kubzansky is touched when she looks back on her time with Boston Court. She was introduced to it when the building was a slab.

“Z. Clark Branson decided he wanted to dedicate his resources to creating an intimate performing arts center,” Kubzansky said.

“He, along with founding producing director Eileen T’Kaye, brought the theater architect John Fisher to design a beautiful, intimate facility. I like to say they literally built paradise from a parking lot.”

The state-of-the-art facility includes a 99-seat main stage and a 70-seat Marjorie

SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Branson Performance Space, in which they do richly eclectic concerts and full productions of adventurous new plays. Boston Court is also the home of an annual New Play Reading Festival, as well as Art Upfront, a rotating visual arts program, National Theatre Live screenings, and many local community events.

She shared her duties until January 2020, when the board of directors decided it needed a single artistic director. Two months later, the pandemic shut down the world.

“We really tried to stay in touch with the audience and the community during that crazy time,” Kubzansky said.

“We pivoted to virtual programming, hosting Beyond the Concept, Behind the Concert conversations with artists as a series of Zoom or virtual meetings for audience to attend. We created an Escape Room that took place at Boston Court that people could play from their living rooms, trying

to solve the problem of the stage manager who’s missing one hour before curtain.”

The staff also recorded concerts and offered them virtually.

“We also spent a lot of our time getting to know our community better,” she said. “We hosted a series of Zoom roundtables to get to know our geographic neighbors, and as a result we were able to form beautiful and authentic partnerships. This is all a part of how we were trying to stay alive.”

The pandemic changed the way in which the public enjoys art of any form, she said. People created new habits, most of which involved staying home and consuming art from their couches.

“They got used to being cave dwellers,” she said. “They got used to Netflix and chill. It’s interesting. We had a regular patron say they got out of the habit of actually coming to the theater. We suggested it might be good to reform that habit if they want the theater to survive.

“It’s been fascinating observing the ways in which people are emerging from the shutdown. I am so grateful that we do still have people coming and attending our work and seem to be thrilled to be back in live community with each other.”

Besides the Summer Soiree, the 20th anniversary season carries on with classical pianist Mark Robson at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 24, playing all 21 of Chopin’s “Nocturnes”; a series of National Theatre Live offerings “NT Live: Good” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 22, with David Tennant (“Doctor Who”); “NT Live: Fleabag” at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 8, written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge; “NT Live: Best of Enemies” 2 p.m. Sat-

urday, July 8; “NT Live: Othello” 2 p.m. Sunday, July 9; “NT Live: King Lear” 2 p.m. Sunday, July 16; and the next full theater production, the immersive use of the whole building, “Measure STILL for Measure” Thursday, Sept. 7, to Monday, Oct. 15.

Kubzansky is excited to see what’s next for Boston Court Pasadena.

“It’s a really exciting time to be turning 20,” she said. “Like so many, we have had to learn, pivot, and make new practices.

Discovering the 3.0 of Boston Court means we have to be the opposite of a crusty old institution. We are on a path of continuous innovation and renewal, for which we are deeply grateful.”

The Journey of a Lifetime

Jack Rutberg honored by the International Art Association

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

In a recent ceremony in celebration of International World Art Day, the International Art Association USA bestowed its first Lifetime Achievement Award to Pasadena’s Jack Rutberg, owner of the Jack Rutberg Fine Arts gallery on South Lake Avenue.

The International Art Association USA acts as an arm of the international body L’Association Internationale des Arts Plastiques, a nonprofit partner of UNESCO comprised of professional artists working with painting, sculpture, printmaking and other forms of creative practice in the visual arts. Rutberg described the honor as a humbling surprise.

“I was very touched by it, particularly because it comes from artists,” he said. “We live in an age where celebrity and power and the things that equate power seem to overtake everything, and I’d like to think that I’ve spent decades being accessible to artists and being kind to them because I have so much empathy for them. … They bleed for what they do. They sacrifice a great deal, and they live in hope, as we all do.”

The International Art Association, which was formed during the 1948 Third General Conference of UNESCO to improve the freedom of artists around the world, referred to Rutberg as a “legendary gallerist” and “genuine Los Angeles treasure” whose exhibitions have served as

cultural milestones in LA.

“For almost half a century, Jack Rutberg has profoundly enhanced the cultural life of Angelenos, with museum-quality exhibitions of important modern and contemporary European, American and Latin American artists,” the award citation read. “He is a generous educator, offering lectures and crafting essays that have elevated our understanding of the nature and historical context of many modern artists.”

Rutberg founded his gallery in 1979 on La Brea Avenue as an accessible gathering place for people of all backgrounds, budgets and interests. His first exhibition in January 1982 showcased 91 paintings and drawings by Arshile Gorky and Hans Burkhardt. He described that night as one he’ll never forget.

ing realization that was holding an etching that was connected to the hand of a talented artist as well as those of all its caretakers that preceded him.

“As a gallerist, I feel the same way,” he said. “Every time someone acquires a work of art, I’m relieved of the responsibility of caring for it. And if I can inspire people to have that kind of engagement with the works of art that they own, that they acquire, how fantastic! I’ve made them caretakers for generations that follow.”

Despite the love and reverence he feels for these exchanges, Rutberg described his industry as competitive and set in a world that’s everchanging.

“It was so heavily attended and so generously received by people that I was just taken aback,” Rutberg said. “The night was beyond expectations. … The next day, I had one of the most important art historians in America come to visit. … Herschel Chipp was his name, and he came up to me and he says, ‘I can’t believe what you’ve done here.’ And he gives me this big fatherly hug. … I was just on cloud nine.

“I didn’t even understand quite the consequence of what I had done, frankly. It’s not about modesty; it’s just about ignorance. I really just didn’t have that experience as a gallerist.”

Rutberg’s journey into the art world was forged through an “out-of-control” passion. He began by acquiring modest pieces like original prints, etchings, lithographs and wood cuts.

“I bought a few things for my little guest house apartment that I rented in my early 20s,” Rutberg described. “Now that I owned these things, what were they? I got a book on prints, on graphics. What is an original lithograph? What is an etching? … I was reading about the history of all this, and it introduced me to a world of literature, history, music, philosophy. And it became very consuming.”

Rutberg recalled the moment he first held a “great work of art.” He felt a strik-

“It’s a very demanding business and a challenging one,” he said. “It’s unique. There’s no other field equivalent, to be honest with you. … It’s also as vulnerable as every realm of endeavor. We’re at a crossroads that’s no less impactful, probably more, than the Industrial Revolution was. I’m the equivalent, maybe, of a really fine buggy whip manufacturer. Then the car is suddenly invented, and today we are living in a different kind of dynamic.

“I am all about the venerated object, not the virtual consideration of it, but the actual object. And I think that resonates with artists, frankly. The night when I was given this award, … I spoke about that a great deal, and all I could see were bobbing heads of approval and affirmation about this loss of history, in a sense, and acknowledgement of it and the importance of the venerated object not to be lost in the virtual.”

Since the opening of his gallery, Rutberg has witnessed the unrelenting and visceral power of artworks to stir emotions and awaken memories. He has seen these pieces become much more than physical objects to the people that view them.

“I’ve literally had people in my galleries brought to tears. I mean that literally; I’m not speaking figuratively,” he said. “I’ve seen people cry in the gallery and don’t even know why. They’ve just been touched.”

PASADENA | ALHAMBRA | ALTADENA | ARCADIA | EAGLE ROCK | GLENDALE | LA CAÑADA | MONTROSE | SAN MARINO | SIERRA MADRE | SOUTH PASADENA

These emotions still resonate deeply with Rutberg today. For him, the joy of his work is in sharing these experiences with others, particularly through showing artists like Patrick Graham.

“I was struck by the work,” he said. “I presented (Graham’s) work in the gallery. People came around to the gallery, initially walking in the door, seeing these very tough paintings, and by the time they left, I quit counting how many people were brought to tears. I’m not saying they were all bawling, by the way, with tears running down, but that did happen. … People come up to me with their eyes filled with tears welling up and saying, ‘I don’t know what’s happening to me,’ and I would ask them, ‘Has this happened to you before?’ And they’d say, ‘No.’

“It’s a very rare occurrence, but we are so seldom touched in this hit-and-run kind of world that a private moment was had and our own vulnerabilities were engaged. … We’re so, I don’t know, self-protective. We go into a situation, and we bring all of our intellect and history to a situation that sometimes we don’t receive. At that unsuspecting moment, people have had that experience in my gallery, and I relish that.

… When you find inspiration from those rare occasions, that’s nourishment for the rest of your life.”

Rutberg said that he enjoys being in the

galleries as complimentary spaces to the museums and as sources of inspiration for future generations.

“Museums are islands unto themselves in many instances. There would be no museums without art dealers because there would be no collectors without art dealers. You can’t bypass this scenario,” he explained. “The Pasadena museum world is very small. You’ve got amazing institutions like the Norton Simon or San Marino’s Huntington. There’s not a lot of cross pollination. There’s some, I’ve had it, but by design … it hasn’t been very significant. And I hope to change that. It’s just conversation. No one should be threatened by that. In fact, we all learn a little something from each other.

gallery’s new home of Pasadena, which he described as the “LA of old” and a landscape of iconic art museums. His hope is that the city acknowledges the worth of art

“There’s a hope though that Pasadena acknowledges the worth of an art gallery that is interested in complimenting its museums, not as a boutique, but as a venue where people can come and go, and students would come and draw some inspiration. … There has never been a gallery scene of consequence, and the comfort in that is unfortunate. I hope that maybe I can put a little English on the cue ball.”

Jack Rutberg is the founder of Pasadena’s Jack Rutberg Fine Arts gallery and recipient of IAA’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

‘Perfectly Marvelous’

Altadena Music Theatre sends ‘Cabaret’ to the stage

By Laura Latzko Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

The iconic musical “Cabaret” delves into how the Nazis’ rise to power impacts the relationships between two couples and shapes the lives of performers working at the Kit Kat Klub in Berlin at the end of 1929 and beginning of 1930.

Altadena Music Theatre will produce the show from Thursday, May 25, to Sunday, June 4, at the Charles S. Farnsworth Park amphitheater.

This is the company’s second show. They put on their inaugural show “Hair” last September.

The company, which is female owned and operated, provides a space for people in the Altadena area to perform. It was also created to offer opportunities for youth and to provide a platform for underrepresented voices.

“Cabaret” features a score by John

ten’s play “I Am a Camera” and Christopher Isherwood’s novel “Goodbye to Berlin.”

of a 1920s explosion of the arts scene and sexual freedom.

The company is producing the script’s 1998 version. Oliver said that they are presenting the whole show and not omitting any content. So, the production will include Nazis and antisemitism.

“We are portraying this part of history accurately,” Oliver said.

“It’s something to learn from. Denying history or blacking it out doesn’t allow us to learn from it. The key element is to look at it honestly and truthfully and see why it happened.”

Although the show takes place in this club filled with pomp and sensationalism and features dynamic, intricately choreographed dance numbers, it is filled with darker moments. Oliver said the events in the show are reminiscent of today’s world.

The show has won numerous Tony Awards over the years, including Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical.

The Altadena Music Theatre’s production is being co-directed by Sarah and Oliver Azcarate and choreographed by Melissa Schade. Chris Wade is serving as musical director.

Emily Lopez will take on the role of leading lady, the cabaret singer Sally Bowles, and Cruz St. James is portraying the emcee of the Kit Kat Klub.

Michael Thomas Grant, best known for “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” will play Sally’s love interest, writer Cliff Bradshaw.

The production also features local Altadena actors Craig Wright, a producer for “Lost” and “Six Feet Under,” and Ursula Gueringer as Jewish fruit shop owner Herr Schultz and his love interest boarding house landlady Fraulein Schneider, respectively.

Sarah said the company wants to provoke deeper thought and be relevant to today’s audiences.

“We want to choose pieces that we feel are meaningful, have strong messages, have a lot to say and have a purpose,” said Sarah, who is also producing the show.

The show highlights a time when Berlin was facing a banking crisis and the Nazi rise to political power and was coming out

“It’s fully of irony. It’s full of metaphors and symbolism. You can get wrapped up in the aesthetic of it, but underneath that is something very deep and resonant,” Oliver said.

There has been an intensive three-week rehearsal process for the show. The company doesn’t yet have its own space, so it is rehearsing at Pasadena Dance Theatre and Westminster Presbyterian Church.

The accents have proven to be challenging. Oliver said they have been working hard to be authentic with presenting different German dialects.

The emcee will speak in a nuanced French, German and Romanian dialect, and Bowles will have a British accent.

Sarah said when doing “Hair,” one of the biggest challenges was in amplifying the park amphitheater.

“It’s not built out like a regular amphitheater that would have a back, a ceiling or any infrastructure at all. The sound can really travel, and it’s hard to contain it and not create feedback. It takes a really skilled sound engineer to be able to amplify that space without feedback,” Sarah said.

For “Hair,” they brought in a professional sound engineer last minute during tech. This time around, they started working with sound engineer Nick Tipp early in the process.

The cast will be accompanied by a seven-piece band, which will be elevated on a platform above the stage.

Oliver said the investment of the cre-

ative team and cast has been important to bringing the first two shows together.

“They come at it with so much heart; so much intelligence; but also so much compassion, empathy and love. That’s the biggest thing I would derive from this experience is there’s been so much love, so much heart, and so much togetherness and unity,” Oliver said.

Some of the actors from “Hair” will also be in “Cabaret.” The company also had a number of new actors audition for “Cabaret.”

“The casting process for this was very hard. The word has been spreading more about the quality of work that we are creating, and we’re just so blessed to have this amount of talent come out, want to be a part of this and work with us,” Sarah said.

Oliver said that Bowles is considered a dream role for many actresses.

This production will have more sets, costumes and lighting than “Hair.”

The stage was designed with stairs that go out into the audience, allowing for more interaction between the cast and patrons.

“It’s more immersive and intimate. You feel that even though you are in this huge

amphitheater, you are close to these actors,” Oliver said.

A lot of detail has also gone into the design of the doors and colors of the club, including the Kit Kat Klub sign.

“Even though we are in an amphitheater in open air, you are going to feel 1930 Berlin,” Oliver said.

In the show, the burlesque dancers at the club will have their own distinctive looks.

During that time in history, the dancers would often make their own costumes and do their own makeup. Sarah said this was the type of look they wanted to bring to the show.

“We wanted them to have their own personality and bring a more realistic version of these burlesque dancers at that time,” Sarah said.

Oliver said they are working closely with the actors to really flesh out and individualize the show’s characters.

“We are coming at it in a very open-minded way with the actors that have dedicated themselves to these roles and this production. They are coming at it with so much preparedness and thought. We are collectively designing these characters,” Oliver said.

WHEN: Various times Thursday, May 25, to Sunday, June 4

WHERE: Charles S. Farnsworth Park amphitheater, 568 E. Mount Curve Avenue, Altadena

PRICE: Tickets start at $35

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Known for ethically sourced fine jewelry, Brilliant Earth recently unveiled its new One Colorado showroom — its 29th overall.

Remembering a Legend

Laker

stars reflect on Kobe Bryant’s legacy

By Jeff Moeller Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

Michael Cooper played in 873 games with the Lakers. Byron Scott played 846 with the legendary franchise.

They each also played pivotal roles in Kobe Bryant’s career with the people and gold, including the very beginning on the court and the very end on the court.

Scott’s last season with the Lakers was the 1996-97 campaign, which was also Bryant’s rookie season. Among the roles the veteran guard Scott played in his 14th and final NBA season was that of mentor to the then teenage phenom before a formal coaching role some 20 years later.

Cooper, meanwhile, never played with

Bryant. But he played against him. Sort of. With a first-round selection in hand at the 1996 NBA Draft, the Lakers worked out several potential prospects in Los Angeles that summer before the event. Cooper, then a Lakers assistant coach, was tasked with guarding Bryant at the workout. But it was the former NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award winner in Cooper who went to school against a kid right out of high school.

“Contrary to what everybody thinks, Kobe did not kick my (tail),” Cooper said while laughing. “I was 40 years old then, but the joy in that moment was seeing a young man at 17 years old maneuver around the court and get to where he is supposed to be.

“I was instructed by Jerry West to keep him away from the free throw line, to keep him away from the low post,” Cooper remembered. “Kobe worked and worked and worked until he could get the shot. He didn’t hit every shot, but he was able to get there, and only really seasoned veterans can do that.”

Added Scott, with a smile and a chuckle: “The story is now some 20-plus years old. It was originally Kobe held his own. Then, a few years later, it was Kobe did pretty good. Then it was Kobe wore him out. Add another 10 years and it was Coop got his (tail kicked).”

The story of the hoops protégé became legend.

“What I always say is if you are going to get beat one on one,” Cooper admitted, “let it be Kobe Bryant.”

That is a sample of the memories Cooper and Scott shared of Bryant at a recent fundraising event honoring local sports legends in Pasadena. They thoughtfully reminisced about the superstar, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in

Calabasas more than three years ago. Scott and Cooper famously played with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Earvin “Magic” Johnson. Something about Bryant was, well, unique.

“Meeting him when he was 17 years old, and playing with him gave me an opportunity to be with him, to mentor him, to be around him a lot while talking about the game of basketball. Then, to come full circle and coach him was very special,” said

“Let’s Do This!” (5/18/23)

Bryon Scott, left, was a teammate of Kobe Bryant’s before serving as head coach of the Lakers from 2014-16, including the year that was Bryant’s final season. When Bryant was a rookie, Scott bestowed the nickname “Show Boat” to the first-year player, who was 17 years Scott’s junior.

Andrew D. Bernstein/Contributor

Scott, a former star at Morningside High School in Inglewood.

“We all remember his last game when he scored 60 points. I remember heading into his last year. I told him my only objective was to get him to game 82 and to get to that game relatively healthy. I wanted him to be able to go out the way he wanted to go out.

“If you remember he started that game like 0-for-5 or 0-for-6. It didn’t look good. Then he caught fire in a game we will all remember. I don’t think we will ever see another player retire, after all of those years of service, on that high of a note. Think of that — 60 points in your last and final game.”

That was at Staples Center in 2016, the 20th and final season — all with the Lakers — for Bryant, nicknamed Black Mamba.

During the evening, Scott talked about the toughness of playing on the hardwood with teammates like Cooper and Bryant.

Cooper, all kidding aside from the jokes about the pre-draft workout, used the platform to praise Scott’s influence on Bryant, who played in more than 1,300 games with LA.

“Byron was an exceptional player over the years, winning championships, and

you can see the relationship he and Kobe had. I attribute a lot of (Kobe’s) success to Byron Scott. Kobe adhered to wanting to learn how to win championships. That made their relationship even that much better. You always saw how close they were.”

The relaxed atmosphere at The Ice House allowed Scott to praise Bryant’s unprecedented work ethic, including beginning gym workouts at 4 a.m.

“That Mamba Mentality … after so many weeks he was just so far ahead of others, and that was the way he thought.”

Scott also shared the nickname he gave Bryant — “I called him Show Boat when I first met him” — and how he listened to Bryant, who was 17 years his junior, as much as he talked.

“I loved being a part of his life. Coaching him later got us rekindled. It was full circle. It was special, and I miss him every single day.”

“His preparation is legendary,” longtime Lakers photographer Andy Bernstein said of Bryant. “He would get there nearly five hours before a game, and he would see me there setting up my equipment and we would share a laugh.”

Bryant and Bernstein collaborated on “The Mamba Mentality: How I Play,” the 2018 book which features Bryant’s personal perspective of his life and career on the basketball court and his exceptional, insightful style of playing the game.

The way he worked and the way he played the game — and an awesome first impression didn’t hurry — was integral to Bryant’s five NBA championship rings. With Scott’s three Laker rings and Cooper’s five, those 13 championships — and the fun, timeless memories — are a big part of the legacy of the trio.

Michael Cooper, left, and Bryon Scott are Laker Royalty. The duo owns eight championship rings, and they each played more than 800 regular season games for the purple and gold.

A Helping Hand

Aspires West Pasadena inspires struggling students

By Kristine Pascual Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Aspires West Pasadena wants to ease students’ minds by providing mentors and academic help.

“We try to help as many students as we can in the area. We have had students from LA and some from Monrovia,” said Dr. Jacqueline Jacobs, president and chief executive officer.

Students in the third through 12th grades receive help to make them successful in programs like mathematics, language arts, nutrition, learning and study strategies, mentoring and career explora-

tion.

It was founded in Detroit in 1992 but Aspires West Pasadena was introduced in 2012 by the late Dr. Cornish Rogers, a former professor at Claremont Theological Seminary.

AWP is a cooperative partnership between Scott United Methodist Church and other local faith-based organizations, the Pasadena Unified School District, Pasadena City College and other local academic institutions, and the local business community.

Aspires West Pasadena brings together a community of professionals, local youth

in need of an extra helping hand, and mentors to help motivate and guide students toward a successful life.

About 95% of past Aspires West high school students have either graduated or are currently attending college. The program has served nearly 500 students since 2011.

Aspires West is searching for individuals who can act as role models for the young students as well as inspire them to move forward in their academic careers.

Mentors provide tutoring, training in employment skills, counseling and other resources that will enable students to com-

plete their high school education, to be fully prepared for entrance into higher education, and to successfully pursue careers of their choice.

“We like for them to be excited about life and where they’re going. We encourage them based on the abilities that we see in them. We’ve been on various field trips,” Jacobs said.
