OPINION •CONSIDER THIS•

Of cats, rats and the kindness of neighbors

By Ellen Snortland Pasadena Weekly Columnist

You have rats? Gross! I thought rats only lived in big cities,” my sister Mary said. We’d just seen a rat the size of a pony gallop across my kitchen floor. I did have a small horse ranch after all. “Nope, being in California, I’ve learned that wherever there is food, there are rats,” I said.

Here in Altadena, we have bears, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, possums … and a ton of tree rats. It’s a veritable fruit tree smorgasbord in our yard. Whether you live in Downtown LA, Pasadena or any of the foothill communities, we are all very familiar with rodents. The question is: what’s the best way to control them?

I’m adamantly anti-poison because whatever poisons a rat also poisons wildlife or the occasional pet that eats that rat. I’ve often wondered what the creator’s purpose was in creating rats. Then it occurred to me that rats are the livestock of the animal kingdom. For example, we have hoot owls who sometimes visit us, and they love to swoop down and grab a warm dinner. However, we need a daily diner at the rat buffet table.

Nextdoor to the rescue! The website is a neighborhood social media platform that is an excellent resource regarding lost pets and coyote sightings. It also occasionally has rants, scoldings, strange tangents and personal attacks, although its moderators try to keep the noise down. But I hit the NextDoor jackpot one day. There was a post about working cats! Dimly aware that feral cats were being rescued and put to work, I’d not considered it for our situation. Interest piqued, I contacted the Pasadena Humane Society. They got right back to me with the news that the working cat program had a very long waiting list. They referred me to three other feral kitty rescue groups. And now, I’m off to the rat race!

Our feral kitty “installation” happens on Saturday, Feb. 25 and there’s a comprehensive list of things I must accomplish before they arrive. To be clear, these cats are designated as unadoptable and would otherwise be euthanized. They are decidedly disinterested in laps, preferring to scratch faces off than to cuddle. They are “employed” by businesses and private homes and apartments.

This brings me to my praise and love for another rescue organization, the hyper-local “Buy Nothing” or “BN.” It helps neighbors connect and “rescues” mostly material items from going into the landfill. Buy Nothing is a Facebook group that has very particular protocols. Although it’s about “one person’s trash is another’s treasure,” it’s also about neighborliness and community creation. I’m part of the Central Altadena group.

This was my post for pre-kitty preparations. ASK: I would like to borrow an extra-large wire dog crate. We will have two working cats that we need to acclimate to our space. I will need the XL crate for three to four weeks. FYI, the crate will be used for Working Cats and acclimating them to our property so they can keep the rodent population down without resorting to poison. TYIA!”

I had a response from Leah Thomson Snell, someone I’ve grown fond of over the years through our shared adoration of all things canine. I don’t recall if we’ve ever met IRL. She let me know that she had a large crate I could use. It didn’t look big enough for two cats to live in for four weeks, so I held off accepting or rejecting the offer.

What happened next? A classic example of the loving nature of our community, thanks to Leah and Eliza Valdes Jones, another of my favorite BN posters. Eliza posted a “Curb Alert” for a few items she’d spotted, including an enormous dog crate. (A Curb Alert is BN jargon for letting area people know that someone has

put “free” stuff on a curb.) Within minutes of Eliza’s post, I jumped in my car and searched but couldn’t find the crate, as Eliza had mistakenly posted the wrong street. By the time she realized this, I had already returned home. Leah Thomson Snell saw the thread, found the crate, then dropped it off in my driveway! It really does take a village.

Leah even had to use her husband’s pickup truck, as the crate was so large. She privately messaged me, “if you find an XL dog crate on your driveway, I left it for you.” Wow! BN has created a community of care, conservation and kindness. It blows my mind; I thought people were only this friendly in the Midwest, where I originally hail from.

If you’re interested in getting some working cats working for you at home or business, you can contact the following rescue organizations:

• Paw Mission – Rodent Rangers: thepawmission.org/rangers. html.

• Kitty Bungalow – Working Cat: kittybungalow.org/workingcat (This is whom we’re working with. I love their subtitle “Charm School for Wayward Cats.”).

• Kitten Rescue – Cats On Pawtrol: kittenrescue.org/2019/12/catson-pawtrol.

I also can’t praise Buy Nothing enough. Use a search engine to find the group in your area. Our grandkids are setting up a household with absolutely no discretionary income. They should be able to find everything they need — from an extra set of dishes to a dining room table — via their local Buy Nothing. Happy hunting, everyone!

Pérez enters District 25 state Senate race

By Pasadena Weekly Staff

Alhambra City Councilmember Sasha Renée Pérez declared her candidacy to be the next California state senator from the 25th Senate District.

A San Gabriel Valley native, Pérez is a recognized regional leader who championed expanding access to higher education, addressing homelessness and increasing worker protections.

In a message to her supporters, Pérez shared her commitment to solving the state’s greatest challenges and fighting for San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire working families.

“As the daughter of a union electrician and social worker, I’ve seen the power of government when it addresses the everyday needs of working families like my own,” Pérez said.

“Throughout my career, I have fought for these critical needs — including expanding access to an affordable higher education, increasing opportunities for good paying jobs, and advocating for stable housing. I’m now running for the state Senate to ensure that we have a future where everyone can achieve the Californian dream.”

Pérez was elected to Alhambra City Council in November 2020 and immediately sworn in as mayor, making her the youngest female mayor in San Gabriel Valley history and the youngest Latina mayor in California history to lead a city of more than 50,000. She quickly earned a reputation as a collaborative leader who has championed progressive issues locally and statewide.

Pérez began her professional career at the Pat Brown Institute at Cal State LA, where she educated high school students about civic engagement and advocacy.

She then joined the Campaign for College Opportunity, where she advocated for equitable policies in higher education and led coalitions that improved

college access, success, and affordability. She recently served as the political irector for the Prop 1 campaign, which enshrined the right to abortion and contraception in the California state Constitution.

A coalition of elected officials and community leaders representing communities in the 25th Senate District have endorsed Pérez.

“I am grateful for the support from our region’s leaders in this campaign. I look forward to working with each of them to advance equitable policies that support San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire families as a state senator,” Pérez said.

Pérez assembled an experienced campaign team with deep roots in the San Gabriel Valley, and a successful track record in California Legislative races. Danielle Cendejas and Gerry Vaughan of The Strategy Group is a national direct mail and political consulting firm that was behind the victories of President Barack Obama, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, state Sen. Caroline Menjivar and Assemblymember Chris Holden.

Ben Escobedo of 2M Strategies led Pérez’s successful campaign for the Alhambra City Council and played an instrumental role behind victories for Asssemblymember Eloise Reyes and Congressman Gil Cisneros (ret.).

The 25th Senate District is represented by Sen. Anthony Portantino, who is serving his final term. It includes the communities of Glendale, Pasadena, Alhambra, Altadena, Arcadia, Claremont, Glendora, La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta-Montrose, Monrovia, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Gabriel, San Marino, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, Temple City, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland and San Antonio Heights.

$2B Altadena Powerball ticket winner revealed

By Pasadena Weekly Staff

The California Lottery unveiled the name of the only winner of the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot, which was hit with a single winning ticket sold in Los Angeles County.

Edwin Castro bought the ticket at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena ahead of the November drawing.

Castro told the California Lottery he did not wish to appear publicly.

“As much as I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing, the real winner is the California public school system,” he said in a statement.

“The mission of the California Lottery, which is to provide supplemental funding for California public education — both public schools and colleges — makes this a huge win for the state. As someone who received the rewards of being educated in the California public education system, it’s gratifying to hear that, as a result of my win, the California school system greatly benefits as well.”

Thanks to the Powerball jackpot that eluded players for months before Castro hit it on the 41st draw of the rolling sequence, California Lottery raised a record $156.3 million for public education, the most ever earned in a single jackpot roll.

In addition, California Lottery officials said they expect to have delivered California public schools a staggering $2 billion — a record amount for a single year — in the most recent fiscal year (2021-22), once the final figures complete the state’s standard auditing process.

“We here at the California Lottery take a tremendous amount of pride in our mission — which is to raise and reliably deliver supplemental funding for public education. Those funds are being used to elevate student learning experiences across the state,” said California Lottery director Alva V. Johnson.

“While our funds are a modest percentage of education’s overall budget, educators

have a lot of flexibility in how those dollars get spent.”

In all, the California Lottery, which is a self-supporting state agency, has earned more than $41 billion for the state’s K-12 public schools, community colleges, and universities since the first ticket was sold in 1985. What’s more, Lottery has contributed at least $1 billion to public schools annually over the last 22 consecutive years.

For draw game tickets sold in California, 40 cents of every dollar spent (80 cents for every $2 Powerball ticket) goes toward public education. In fact, 95 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery games goes back to the community through contributions to schools, prizes for Lottery winners, and bonuses and commissions earned by Lottery’s more than 23,000 retail partners.

“California is blessed to have so many Lottery-made millionaires, including more than 140 last year alone,” said Carolyn Becker, California Lottery spokesperson.

“We often hear from our largest prize winners — including Edwin Castro — that they’re thrilled to know their participation in our games ultimately benefits such a good cause and helps boost local economies throughout the state.”

Castro was one of millions of players vying for the staggering multibillion-dollar jackpot this past November. As with any jackpot winner, he had the choice to receive his winnings via the lump sum or 30 annual payments. Castro elected to take the cash value of his prize money, totaling $997.6 million.

Joe’s Service Center earned a $1 million bonus for selling the winning ticket. More than 11.2 million tickets won cash prizes associated with the Nov. 7 drawing, including two additional big winning tickets in California which each matched five numbers and have prizes worth more than $1 million each.

Ten Thousand Villages brings Pakistani rugs to town

By Leah Schwartz Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Aquality rug is like a work of art; it can imperceptibly tie a space together or make a bold statement, bringing warmth, texture and color.

From Wednesday, March 1, to Sunday, March 5, Ten Thousand Villages Pasadena on South Lake Avenue will host its annual fair trade rug event.

The event is held in partnership with fair trade rug company, Bunyaad, which works exclusively with Pakistani rug artisans in their homes to provide makers with fair wages and a sustainable outlet for their artistry and craft.

The Pasadena location has hosted its annual rug event since 2011 with rugs ranging from under $50 into the thousands.

Much of the store will be cleared out to make room for the more than 300 rugs on display, along with educational videos

revealing the lengthy process behind making hand-knotted rugs.

Sourced from more than 850 families throughout 100 villages in Pakistan, the rugs will range from 2 feet by 3 feet to 10 feet by 14 feet; are made using organic, vegetable-based dyes; and are sun resistant due to the high quality of the dyes.

The lengthy rug-making process can take anywhere from a few months to upward of a year and often involves multiple artisans working together on a single rug. Once a rug is completed it will have passed through as many as 15 sets of hands and areas of expertise, and many of the artisans come from families that have practiced rug-making for generations.

During the event, Ten Thousand

At Pasadena Ten Thousand Villages’ annual rug event, handknotted rugs will range from as small as 2 feet by 3 feet to as large as 10 feet by 14 feet.

RUGS from page 6

Villages Pasadena becomes less a store and more like an art show as people meander, looking at the new rug designs and craftsmanship.

“Customers come in to see the different rugs and the new designs that have come out in the past year all in one place. ... It’s amazing to see all the different qualities, textures, patterns and colors together,” said Jacita Keys, who is on the Ten Thousand Villages board of supervisors.

Ten Thousand Villages is a fair-trade retailer that partners with artisans in emerging countries and supports a global maker-to-market economy. The model is designed to provide financial security to craftsmen around the globe to end the cycle of poverty.

The Pasadena storefront opened in 2006 with the backing of a volunteer-based nonprofit board and sells a variety of wares: accessories, home goods, outdoor decor and fashion, to name a few. The organization has been active for over 70 years, founded in the 1940s by Edna Ruth Byler, a volunteer and fair-trade pioneer living in Akron, Pennsylvania.

“Ensuring (craftsmen) receive a fair living wage is our top priority because a lot of times they mass produce these items in an unsafe work environment, and (the products) can be a lot cheaper, but we ensure that they’re in safe work environments, they’re not at risk,” Keys said.

Besides purchasing goods from artisans at fair market value, Ten Thousand Villages also connects craftsmen to local resources they might not otherwise have access to, like education and housing resources.

La Cañada Flintridge Royal Court celebrates 50 years

By Leah Schwartz Pasadena Weekly Staff Writer

Katherine Markgraf, the royal court adviser for the Miss La Cañada Flintridge scholarship program, agrees that teens are sometimes overlooked.

“I think it’s easy to negate young people; to say, ‘They don’t care’ or ‘They’re only on their phones,’” she said.

“But, being a part of the scholarship program, every year, I get to work with five young ladies who are great representatives of what adults think the youth should be like, and they are very civic minded.

“They are very concerned with taking care of each other and taking care of their peers. Beyond the chosen five, I meet dozens of young ladies who want to do something with their lives.”

The court is comprised of a queen and four princesses, who represent the city of La Cañada Flintridge at various civic events, attending business mixers and ribbon cuttings for new businesses and parades like the Montrose Christmas Parade and the La Cañada Flintridge Memorial Day Parade. Last year’s court attended 55 events, about five events per month.

The current queen of the 2023 La Cañada Flintridge royal court is La Cañada High School junior Hannah Kiang, who has wanted to be a part of the LCF royal court since she was young.

“When I was a kid and saw the princesses and their sparkly tiaras, I remember wanting to be one of them,” she said.

Accompanying Kiang are this year’s court princesses, Kayleen Akopian, Payson Dillon, Katelyn Matarese and Charlotte Raulli.

As for Markgraf, she applied to the program when she attended La Cañada High School and served on the court as a princess. The program is run through the La Cañada Flintridge Chamber of Commerce, where Markgraf sits on the board of directors.

The business mixers often have raffles called “opportunity drawings,” sponsored by local businesses. All of the proceeds go to the scholarship fund in addition to the base scholarship each court member receives: $500 for the queen and $250 for each princess.

Teens often receive additional funds from local businesses and organizations like the Kiwanis Club, donations like clothing and jewelry, and services like makeup and hair.

The Miss La Cañada Flintridge scholarship program began in 1973,

making this year’s royal court its 50th. The court will celebrate during Fiesta Days, the Memorial Day parade, where past queens and princesses will marshal the parade.

Applications begin in October of each year for high school juniors. Applicants undergo a rigorous selection process, beginning with entrance interviews with the judges, including Markgraf, city representatives, and business owners.

The participants who make it to the second round will present on selected topics. From there, the girls in the second round are invited to Festival in Lights on the first Friday in December at Memorial Park, where the five members of the royal court are announced. At the end of January, during the court’s most recent event, the queen was named during the city council meeting.

In her spare time, Kiang likes to bake and spend time with her friends, family, two dogs and 10 chickens. At school, Kiang is a member of the cross-country team, the Spartan Kindness Club and the Paper Crane Club.

According to Markgraf, Kiang stood out for her maturity and thoughtful interview answers. Markgraf noted that participants are chosen based on “who can present themselves honestly, maturely, maybe with a nice sense of humor.

“We’re looking for well-rounded applicants. Obviously, academics are essential, but we also want to hear what else they do to help their community

— we want to know what their ambitions are.”

As representatives of the city and potential future civic leaders, the queen and princesses of the court learn the inner workings behind city affairs and life skills that will help them far beyond the court. Markgraf relayed that the court gives teens a

greater understanding of the world around them.

“The only thing we’ve done so far is the city council meeting when we got introduced to the city council. I learned so much about the city in that meeting and how many people have to work behind the scenes to make this such a wonderful city.”

The queen is typically revealed at the end of January during the chamber installation. Pictured are, from left, Councilmembers Mike Davitt and Rick Gunter, along with Queen Hannah Kiang and Princesses Kayleen Akopian, Payson Dillon, Katelyn Matarese, Charlotte Raulli and Mayor Keith Eich.

Rivals LA Galaxy, LAFC clash at the Rose Bowl

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

For a century, the Rose Bowl Stadium has played host to the largest sporting events in the world, bearing witness to moments that have defined players, teams and generations. On Saturday, Feb. 25, its gates will open to one of the most heated rivalries in Major League Soccer: LA Galaxy vs. LAFC.

Comically named El Tráfico, the match between LA’s two rival clubs will mark the start of the 2023 MLS season. For LAFC assistant coach Marc Dos Santos, it’s a day that the LAFC players have been dreaming of since lifting the MLS Cup last season.

“Having our first game against the Galaxy always brings a different type of energy into our building,” Dos Santos explained. “Sometimes we feel like it’s a playoff … even if it’s only the first game of the year. It definitely brings up the energy in preseason.”

Heading into the new season, LAFC are riding high as they hold the 2022 title in their grasp. Dos Santos described the feeling as “incredible” and “special,” winning a playoff final against Philadelphia Union that had all the twists and turns of a Hitchcock classic.

“What happened in the game, what happened with substitutes, the impact of the players in that game and the emotional factor that was back and forth, was almost like playing Russian roulette,” Dos Santos said. “You never knew who would stay alive at the end. … It was just amazing.”

The LAFC dressing room has seen a number of changes since the end of last season, most notably the departures of Gareth Bale, Cristian Arango, Sebastián Mendez, Sebastian Ibeagha and Latif Blessing, and new arrivals like 24-year-old midfielder Timothy Tillman from Greuther Fürth, 26-year-old defender Sergi Palencia from Saint-Éti-

The Rose Bowl Stadium, the 16th largest stadium in the world, will host Los Angeles’ MLS season opener between rivals LA Galaxy and LAFC.

Fly fishing club president promises ‘reely’ good time

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

For Becky Rakisits, fly fishing is a way to hit “reset” and relax from her busy lifestyle. “For me, it’s about getting out of the concrete jungle, getting into wildlife and nature and enjoying the art of fly fishing,” Rakisits said.

“I enjoy the peace of being in nature. There are times when I’m fishing, and I just stop and listen to the water trickling because it’s just so beautiful.”

Rakisits is spreading this message as the two-year president of the Pasadena Casting Club, which meets 7 p.m. the second Thursday of the month. Check the website for details. She has been in the club for six years and on the board for five.

On Saturday, March 4, the nonprofit Pasadena Casting Club will host its luau fundraiser at San Marino Masonic Lodge. The event will feature silent and live auctions, a raffle and games. Each 21-and-older guest will receive a custom-made, filled shot glass with the Pasadena Casting Club logo. On the bottom will be a number, which indicates how many tickets they can enter into the grand prize drawing.

The grand prize is a fly-tying vise worth $300 that was donated to the club.

Auction items include photography prints of fly-fishing scenes; a set of wheels and tires; a two-night stay at the Pasadena Hotel and Pool; fly-fishing gear; guided trips to Texas, Oregon, Mexico and California; Santa Anita Racetrack tickets; and casting lessons.

The club is hosting an intro to fly fishing class at its clubhouse and pool on Saturdays March 4, March 11 and March 18. The spots are filled, but it’s hoping to hold them again in May.

“We do fly tying classes which we just finished,” she said. “We take a lot of local trips to the eastern Sierras for club camaraderie.”

Not only does the Pasadena Casting Club teach people to fly fish, it stresses the conservation of local waters.

“When you become a member, you do take a conservation pledge,” she said. “We really

focus on maintaining our waterways and fish habitats. When we teach fly fishing, we don’t just teach you how to catch a fish. We teach you about the conservation of waters and lands and keeping everything nice.”

Guest speakers tackle this subject as well.

“The guest speakers come from all over the United States and the world to share expertise on fly fishing,” Rakisits said. “Sometimes it’s about a specific location or sometimes it’s about a technique. They talk about their organizations or the nonprofits they run to help conservation. There are a lot of things that tie into fly fishing.”

Rakistis started fly fishing when she met her husband, Zackary, 11 years ago. She said the Pasadena Casting Club volunteers are a “great group of people.”

“I absolutely love it,” said Rakistis, a Pasadena native and current resident. “The club is very supportive. When we joined the Pasadena Casting Club, there was a woman president. Her name is Linda Payan. She was just such a happy and sweet person who drew us into the club and made us want to join.

“We’ve created such a great community within the club of fly fishing and everything out-

side of fly fishing. We’ve formed great relationships and met some truly amazing people.”

Pasadena Casting Club was founded in 1947 by Herbert Shefflin. Before it built its clubhouse on a pool, it casted in front of Pasadena City College’s reflecting pool. Within the Pasadena Casting Club are committees that cater to youth, veterans, women and conservation. Its casting pool is one of three in California, with the other two in Long Beach and San Francisco.

Rakistis is the club’s fifth female president and a new mother to 7-month-old Zoe. She has already introduced Zoe to fly fishing.

“She’s been fly fishing on my hip,” she said with a laugh. “There are no limitations to fly fishing. Anybody can do it. Just getting out there is the best feeling.”

year, they’ll be determined to flip the script.

enne, 20-year-old forward Stipe Biuk from Hajduk Split, 38-year-old goalkeeper Eldin Jakupović from Everton, 30-year-old midfielder Aaron Long signed as a free agent, 25-year-old midfielder Daniel Crisostomo and 24-year-old goalkeeper Abraham Romero, both signed from Las Vegas Lights.

Despite the change in personnel, Dos Santos is confident that LAFC brought in players who fit the club’s DNA.

“They’ve integrated themselves really well,” he described. “Last year at this stage, everybody was learning the system, learning the way we want to play. But now you see a lot of things that are more automatic. The guys are used (to it) and know exactly what we want, so all of that together meant that the integration of the new guys has been a little bit easier than at this stage last season.

“We have the ability to continue when it comes to our identity of play, our principles, our values. That’s what we want to do. We want to keep being a team that plays on the front foot with a lot of energy, always with an attacking mindset.”

Despite the successes and silverware of 2022, Dos Santos insisted that the mentality of the players and technical staff will be to take each game as it comes, starting with Saturday’s game at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

For Galaxy, the season opener is a shot at redemption. They placed fourth in the MLS last year and not only watched the Black and Gold top the Western Conference, but were eliminated by their cross-town rivals in a thrilling conference semifinal. This

Like their rivals, Galaxy has seen its own dressing room change since November. The club has signed 31-year-old defender Chris Mavinga from Toronto FC and 27-year-old midfielder Jose “Memo” Rodríguez from Houston Dynamo, while losing the likes of Samuel Grandsir, Nick DePuy, Kévin Cabral, Víctor Vázquez, Derrick Williams and 21-year-old defensive starlet Julián Araujo, signed by Barcelona for a reported $4 million transfer fee.

No matter the lineups that take the field on opening day, Dos Santos feels that the supporters in the stands will play a vital role in the way that the game is played.

“We all feel that we play with 12 (players),” Dos Santos said. “It does make a big difference. (The fans) bring an incredible energy in the stadium. If the game is hard, we feel pushed. We feel a good pressure, … a pressure that that makes us push ourselves even more.”

The game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. under the lights of the Rose Bowl Stadium.

“It’s a historical game, having the Galaxy and LAFC play at the Rose Bowl,” Dos Santos said. “I hope that we could fill up the stadium and make sure that it’s one of the biggest nights in MLS history.”

Experimental play explores intimacy, isolation

By Bridgette M. Redman Pasadena Weekly Contributing Writer

It’s debatable if social media and the digital metaverse have made people more isolated or more connected.

The answer isn’t binary, perhaps that’s why.

British playwright Caryl Churchill explored these concepts and questions in her unconventional work, “Love and Information,” which opened in 2012 and is coming to Glendale’s Antaeus Theatre Company from Sunday, Feb. 26, to Monday, April 3, with previews on Feb. 26, to Thursday, March 2, and the official opening on Friday, March 3.

The production’s director, Emily Chase, said Churchill was ahead of her time with the ideas presented in “Love and Information.” The show has seven sections and multiple vignettes in each that can be done in any order. There are more than 100 unnamed characters that are being performed by eight actors.

Chase has taught the work in classes and calls Churchill a modern classical writer. She characterizes “Love and Information” as being extremely timely and appropriate work for Antaeus to tackle.

“It feels more relevant now in some ways than when it was written, which is often true of Caryl Churchill, whom I consider to be very prescient and wise and way ahead of her time,” Chase said.

Even the way in which the play is written is something the director feels makes it more relevant now than 11 years ago.

“This is one of the only plays of hers that I know of that doesn’t have a protagonist whose arc you follow,” Chase said. “She wrote it in small snatches of conversation. That reflects the way that we take in information now. I think she was predicting it. Just the way we swipe on TikTok or go down a YouTube rabbit hole is the way that you just kind of go in and out of these very important conversations in people’s lives.”

Chase fills the stage with projections of people using their computers and phones on stage. Of the 49 scenes in the show, only 10 are about technology. It’s “even more about how our inquisitive passion for information can overload us and what do we do with the information and how the rate we take it in affects our relationships and also our perception of our own lives.”

The eight actors in the show are John Apicella, Anne Gee Byrd, Darius De La Cruz, Kwana Martinez, Kevin Matsumoto, Erin Pineda, Lloyd Roberson II, Zoe Yale. Chase said she sought actors who represented a diverse array of Los Angeles in terms of culture, age and gender identity.

“I did something that I’m calling conceptual casting, where I collaborated with the actors to decide which character they were and how they wanted to create their characters,” Chase said.

“Even though Churchill will give you an awful lot of structure and clues, she also leaves a lot to the collaboration of the director and actor. She really demands collaboration for this play. Every actor enthusiastically consented to the role they’re playing and even developed it themselves.”

Chase said the show is fun because the artistic staff can make so many decisions about the production that go beyond the usual acting or technical choices. The playwright lets the artists build the characters in any way that they want.

“The play is a bunch of really interesting conversations that the audience and actors are having with Caryl Churchill inside her brain about the deepest questions of how to live life with love in the 2020s,” Chase said.

Churchill’s themes address a society in which there is unprecedented intimacy, but there is also greater detachment, alienation and anger. Chase explained that the format becomes part of the audience’s discussion.

“I love that the play asks us to come together in a live theater to talk about really important issues of how we are maintaining our sanity and staying connected in modern times,” Chase

said. “I love that it is uniquely theatrical, because theater is about people coming together in one room.”

Scenic designer Frederica Nascimento has worked with Chase to capture some of the theatricality of the show and to use the set to help focus themes and audience conversation.

“There is a really beautiful set by Frederica Nascimento which feels like a gallery where we can explore humanity, but also kind of the inside of a person’s mind and face as they sort through all of these conversations and images about the meaning of life,” Chase said.

“I’m using projections to reflect not just the conversations we increasingly have on screen with people we love, but also to simulate and comment upon all of the information in our minds that we’re trying to sort in order to understand our souls better.”

Carly DW Bones serves as intimacy director for a show. In addition to working individual scenes, she talked with the cast and crew about gender diversity — how to address and understand each other in light of having several transgender people in the cast and crew.

“Carly is doing the usual work that intimacy directors do of making sure that actors feel comfortable and respected in a room while still, as she put it, making it a brave space, not just a safe space,” Chase said.

Chase doesn’t want people to be intimidated by the structure of the show. She encourages audiences to trust that Churchill knew what she was doing, and that “Love and Information” is an engaging, smart piece of theater.

“It will be delightful, funny, poignant, disturbing and interesting,” Chase said. “In 95 minutes, they’ll have a really rich experience.”

Students show off combat skills in ‘Pirates’

By Laura Latzko Pasadena Weekly Contributor

Stage fighting is a skill that many actors use in their careers. To prepare students for what they will face in their careers, Pasadena City College offers workshops focused on skills such as stage combat.

An upcoming workshop production called “The Pirates of Pasadena” will run from Monday, Feb. 27, to Wednesday, March 1, at the Center for the Arts Theater and on Thursday, March 2, on the CA West Patio.

Each year, the theater department hosts 10 mainstage and four workshop productions.

The workshop productions have storylines, costumes and other elements but are usually centered around specific skills, such as stage fighting.

The theater department also has a mainstage production of Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” from Friday, Feb. 24, to Saturday, March 4, a workshop production of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” from Friday, April 24, to Sunday, April 26, and a mainstage production of Lisa Loomer’s “Living Out” from Friday, April 21, to Sunday, April 29.

Director and Fight Director Will Hickman, PCC’s chair of theater and dance, said the workshops are based on what students and professors believe is important.

Hickman said stage combat is a skill that can benefit students.

“It translates quite a bit to a lot of different areas of the entertainment industry,” Hickman said.

The show is broken down into vignettes. Students adapted the scripts from video games, films, books and plays.

PIRATES from page 13

“They are taking a short section of that and creating a 2- to 3-minute dialogue that leads into or finishes off the 5-minute sword fight,” Hickman said.

The production will conclude with a battle with all of the actors.

The students will be working with rapier and dagger sets for the production. Many of them had little or no experience with stage fighting before taking the workshop.

One student did rapier and dagger combat while in a production of “Hamlet,” and another was a fencer in high school.

A few of the students have dance training, which Hickman said is helpful with stage combat.

“A stage combat fight is a dance that looks like a fight. You’ve got to effectively partner. You’ve got to listen with your partner. You’ve got to be able to cue effectively,” Hickman said. “So, it’s like good partner dancing. But you have to act the danger and act the fight.”

Hickman started by training the students in lower body movements such as advances, retreats, passes, slips and cross-steps.

“We want to get them balanced first. If they can be balanced and stay strong in the lower body, then, the upper body sword work is going to be far easier,” Hickman said.

Early on, the students worked with the swords.

“I put a sword in their hand pretty quickly because I wanted them getting used to how to hold it, how to manipulate the blade and also just strength. It takes forearm and shoulder strength to be able to use this safely and effectively,” Hickman said.

For the production, Hickman is working closely with two students, co-choreographer and assistant director Christopher Rendon and assistant director Mayari Sunsinger.

Rendon and Hickman have both studied stage combat through the Society of American Fight Directors.

The students can take a masterclass with fight directors from this organization. As part of this process, they will watch the students’ pieces and gave them notes.

Hickman said this a chance for students to learn about further stage combat resources available to them.

The workshop productions were developed by the theater students. Hickman choreographed the fight scenes, but they were responsible for other elements of the vignettes.

The students created the scripts, props, blocking, costumes, special effects and makeup.

“We want to put the focus on whatever the skill is we are training, but the students are having a lot of fun because it’s pirate stuff, pirate costumes, eyepatches and decorating toilet rolls for telescopes. They are having a really fun time creating this world,” Hickman said.

For one of the pieces, the students developed a chain with magnets, which will be broken up with a sword.

Hickman said the workshop productions really challenge the students to problem solve and think outside of the box.

“They are the creative drive of these shows. I try to facilitate, support, give them guidance and suggestions, but they are the main artistic vision for it… If you let them take the lead, they will create some really amazing stuff,” Hickman said.

The students had to find a way to create pirate looks with no budget.

“We can’t fully realize costumes from the 1700s with a zero budget and no costume team. We can put hints towards it. We can get some hats and some bandanas. We can make it fun. That’s the whole point. It should be a fun production,” Hickman said.

In the past, the theater department did a workshop production of “Macbeth” that featured stage combat scenes. For the show, the students translated parts of “Macbeth” into Spanish and Japanese.

The department has also put on workshops in which formerly incarcerated students and those who came from immigrant families were able to tell their stories.

Hickman said doing mainstage and workshop productions exposes students to different jobs in the entertainment business.

Many students find that a certain role, which they initially didn’t expect to go into, is a good fit for them.

“So many actors come into us freshman year and want to be actors. After two years with us, they are becoming directors, intimacy coordinators, stage combat coordinators,” Hickman said.

Hickman said PCC theater students gain valuable skills.

“Training in the arts makes you really good at working with a group of collaborators, staying within budget and producing a product within a certain time,” Hickman said.

‘Di Lady Di’ mimics princess’ daring personality

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pasadena Weekly Executive Editor

Plenty of little girls awoke in the middle of the night to watch Diana Frances Spencer marry Prince Charles.

Charlotte Munson was too young, but still she was interested — especially after listening to the podcast “You’re Wrong About.” It reconsiders an event, person or phenomenon that’s been miscast in the public imagination.

“Before this, I had no idea what she went through,” Munson said.

“I knew she was gorgeous and did wonderful things to prevent landmines. She wanted to rebuild this system that was trying to take her down. She did it in a feminine way.”

Thus, she created the musical, “Di Lady Di,” which stages at the Sierra Madre Playhouse from Friday, Feb. 24, to Sunday, March 5; 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday.

“The narrative begins when. Diana is still a girl,” she said. “Her family is torn apart by divorce, and she is separated from her mother. She was born into a noble family, and she is accorded the

title of lady.

“She’s blonde, beautiful and a virgin at 19. She attracts the attention of the Prince of Wales, who, a decade her senior, is under pressure to marry and generate heirs to secure the royal line. He had been dating her older sister.”

Although she was young, she had heart and intuition and was the “most hurt person in the world.” The world responded — and so did the palace.

“She was about showing people she was human,” she said. “She was a wonderful mother who was impressive to people. She was in a loveless marriage, but she was still able to be generous and loving.”

The 90-minute “Di Lady Di,” with one intermission, is mostly song, with a few moments of dialogue. The script, Munson said, is taken from real-life quotes from books, documentaries or interviews, “which I think is pretty interesting.”

“It was hard work,” she added. “Every song is a different style—from operatic to pop to musical theater to minimal -

ism. There are a few classical pieces thrown in there as well.”

Munson assured that audiences do not need to be schooled on Princess Diana.

“You can know nothing about the royal family and follow it and get a lot out of the story,” she explained. “I’m very talented and I wrote it for myself. I can sing. I’ve been studying musical theater since I was 9, so more than 20 years.

“I wrote what I wanted to see. I’m very discerning and critical of what I want to see. It’s really empowering and very funny. Most of what we see if tragic. Her story was tragic, but she was a very funny person. She laughed throughout her life. That’s how she survived.”

Diana loved Prince Charles, but he “rewarded” her love with betrayal, as he had a mistress, Camilla Bowles, whom he later married.

“His unfaithfulness sends her into a spiral of depression, and she is ultimately granted a divorce,” Munson said.

“She refuses to remain a victim, however. She is prominent as an activist for a variety of humanitarian causes, notable among them advocacy for AIDS patients and a push for the abolition of land mines. She becomes the public’s favorite royal and regains her own agency as The People’s Princess.”

Many remember where they were when Princess Diana died Aug. 31, 1997, from injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. Dodi Fayed, Diana’s partner, and Henri Paul, their chauffeur, had died upon impact.

“It’s like 9/11,” she said. “Everybody has a story. It was such a horrible thing to happen. She was hounded so much there was no way she was going to stay safe without any kind of security. There was no end to it. She was going to be chased or hounded to death.”

Munson, who earned a master’s degree from University of Tennessee, crafted the show’s book music and lyr-

Matt McIntyre named Showcase House benefit chair

By Luke Netzley Pasadena Weekly Deputy Editor

For third-generation Pasadena native Matt McIntyre, service to his community has been a core part of his life since childhood. Having volunteered for institutions like Five Acres, Gamble House and the Tournament of Roses Association, he was drawn to Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) because it combined his love for design with the opportunity to benefit local communities.

McIntyre has now been selected as the benefit chair for the 58th Pasadena Showcase House of Design.

“It’s such a huge honor,” McIntyre said. “I’m excited for this year because we’ve come out of COVID. I’m excited for this year because we have a spectacular house. I’m so thankful to the owners of the 2023 Showcase House and the gift that they’ve given to our organization and to the people of Pasadena, and the other patrons that come to support Showcase. It’ll really be a

special year.”

McIntyre joined PSHA in 2018 as a community volunteer and has since taken on numerous leadership positions as both a board member and as part of the Benefit Leadership Team for last year’s Showcase House of Design.

While joining the organization allowed him to continue serving his beloved Pasadena, it also allowed McIntyre to volunteer alongside his husband, Garrett Collins, who sits on PSHA’s board of directors.

“Garrett and I had talked a lot about what we wanted. … We wanted something that captured both of our interests and that we would be able to enjoy side by side,” McIntyre explained. “Garrett’s undergrad was in music performance, and he was a classically trained flutist, so that had a nice connection to Showcase. He then went

ics. Her extensive credits include roles in New York (“All Kinds of People,” “Hedge Fun,” “Princes in Cyberland”) and regionally (“Into the Woods,” “South Pacific,” “City of Angels”).

In October, she won the Actors Circle Award from the Short & Sweet Hollywood Festival for her performance in her play “A World Apart.”

Munson grew up in New York City and Vermont, raised by her minimalist composer father and post-modern choreographer mother. Her collaborator in composing the music for “Di Lady Di” was her father, Dr. Richard Munson. He has performed his music with his ensemble in New York at P.S. 122, Carnegie Hall and The Mudd Club.

The musical boasts a song score of 23 selections with intelligent lyrics.

“It’s amazing,” Munson said. “People valued her so much. Her work was so much about helping people. That remains huge.”

to graduate school focusing on nonprofit management. … It just felt like, here’s sort of the perfect marriage of our interests, which are interests that we’re not currently able to fully fulfill in our professional lives, so this feels like a great place for us. We joined and haven’t looked back.”

McIntyre’s passion for interior design was ignited during the formative years of his childhood, when his parents began a large-scale project on their home and enlisted the help of an interior designer, Tocco Finale owner Dona Dockendorf, a longstanding Showcase House designer.

McIntyre went on to study interior design and graduate from Cornell University, where he began to discover a love for real estate. He has since spent over 15 years in the real estate industry, was named Pasadena’s Realtor of the Year in 2018 and currently works as an agent for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.

McIntyre expressed hope that he can continue to utilize the skills he honed during his real estate career, particularly as “the logistics guy,” to contribute to the work that PSHA does to support the arts.

“I’m really honored with what Showcase has done in its history and what it continues to do,” he said. “Our contributions to the community through our ‘Gifts and Grants’ program has put out over 24 million in funds.

“The city of Pasadena is home to me. It’s where my maternal grandparents grew up. It’s where my parents grew up. … My parents met at Canterbury Records on Colorado Boulevard. My grandfather was a fire captain for the Pasadena Fire Department for many years. What I especially love about Pasadena is that I can go to the dry cleaners or to the grocery store, or out to eat, and I know not just the employees, but I know people in that space, and I love that kind of connection to the place that I live.”

McIntyre expressed excitement at unveiling this year’s Showcase House, a 1933 grand colonial estate called Stewart House, to the Pasadena community. He explained that having a house designed by Pasadena architectural partnership Marston & Maybury gives the space a certain “pedigree,” and that it’s rare for PSHA to be given a house that has two flat acres of land.

Once Stewart House is opened to the public on Sunday, April 23, the

collection of over 30 designers will be able to unveil their work to visitors. This year’s design team includes both international names such as Ra Designs’ Mouna Stewart, Lôue Interiors’ Louise Johnsen Mueller and Rterior’s Rydhima Brar, and local favorites like Karen Billman, Rachel Duarte, The Art of Room Design’s Maria Videla-Juniel and Tocco Finale’s Dockendorf, the designer who inspired McIntyre’s love for interior design.

What it has done with that is that we don’t have as much interaction, physical interaction, viewing design spaces and seeing work that current interior designers are actively doing. Showcase is this great place for the public to come see what’s now, and I’m hopeful that continues for generations to come.” Run.

“All Consuming:

Art and the Essence of Food”

Focusing on European art created between 1500 to 1900, this exhibition from April 14 to Aug. 14 at the Norton Simon Museum focuses on all-things food — from eating, buying, selling, growing, and even features works that celebrate the simple aesthetics of food.

The group of 60 paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures will be separated into three themes, “hunger,” “excess” and “sustenance.” The exhibition is intended to capture the good and bad sides of food consumption, culminating in an entire gallery wing devoted to Edward Weston’s and Manuel Alvarez Bravo’s photographs

of California and Mexico in the 1930s. This invites viewers to contemplate their relationship with food, both culturally and as a necessity for survival.

“Saint Sebastian: Anatomy of a Sculpture”

This exhibition is dedicated to a single sculpture from the 15th century. Legend

says Saint Sebastian, the subject of the sculpture, was condemned to death in the 3rd century for his Christian beliefs. He survived the attempt on his life and became a Christian symbol of recovery through faith. The exhibition explores the creation of the sculpture and research the museum has conducted using X-ray imaging and archival photographs.

The Jackalope Arts fair started in Pasadena in 2015 and has since expanded to Burbank, Denver, Colorado and Minneapolis. Sara Deiderich, the co-founder of the festival, said she appreciates the Pasadena location because “it’s such a special little corner of the general Los Angeles area… We really love to see how much everybody supports handmade and local here in Pasadena.”

Pasadena Chalk Festival pasadenachalkfestival.org

Father’s Day weekend, the public is invited to see over 200 chalk murals and more than 500 artists at the 30th annual Pasadena Chalk Festival. Specific information is not yet available, but there will be live music and

a children’s art area. The event is sponsored by The Paseo and Light Bringer Project. All proceeds benefit Light Bringer Project, an arts and education nonprofit that supports art programs in Pasadena schools.

The festival began in 1993, thanks to an intern at the Light Bringer Project who attended a street painting festival in Paris.

The first festival took place outside Pasadena City Hall. In 2010, the Pasadena Chalk Festival won the Guinness World Record for the largest street painting festival, with more than 600 artists using over 25,000 sticks of chalk. The crowd that year was more than 100,000 visitors over two days.

Jackalope Arts Fair co-founder Sara Diederich hopes visitors to the festival can connect with the creators of handmade goods.

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
