Carol Lawrence, Stage & TV star to be the second Guest Artist at our
LUMINARY LUNCHON at the BLU Ember on Wednesday, March 24th!
Sponsored by the
Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa
Carol Lawrence originated the role of Maria in WEST SIDE STORY and went on to star in such Broadway shows as SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING, SARATOGA, I DO, I DO and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, just to name a few. She also was a regular on ABC’s “General Hospital” and on “Touched by an Angel”, “The Commish”, “Sex in the City” and many others.
The second CV REP LUMINARY LUNCHEON is set for March 24th at noon at the BLU Ember Restaurant. CV REP has formed a new monthly social group called the “LUMINARIES”. This group will help light the way to CV REP’s future. With the support of our sponsor, the Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa, the monthly events are held at the BLU Ember Restaurant. Each luncheon includes a Luminary of the Theatre who will share their life experience working as an actor.
A portion of the fee will pay for your meal, refreshments, entertainment and the remainder will go to CV REP. The fee is only $25.00! A bargain for this fine restaurant!
Tickets will be sold in advance since the room holds only 50 people. To assure your place at the table, please call the Luminary’s Social Secretary, Audrey Provan at (760) 341-7442
This will be a fun way for people to meet, have fun, be enlightened and support CV REP.
College of the Desert ( C.O.D.)
New Playwright’s Festival
On January 23rd, CV REP’s Artistic Director, Ron Celona facilitated a Director’s Panel at the College of the Desert and it was a grand success. We had four prominent Directors from the LA area discuss the relationship between the Director and the Playwright when creating a new play for the stage. There were acting and writing students in attendance as well as the public at large. It is CV REP’s goal to lend its support where ever possible throughout the Coachella Valley’s educational institutions.
FUNDRAISING THERMOMITER
The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce a plan of attack for building the budget needed to present a main stage production. Based on the funding that we raise within the next six months, we will be able to determine the type of project possible to produce. i.e.: a musical, a play and how many roles would be possible.
To date, CV REP has partnered with other organizations, businesses and individuals to produce the first two productions which are educationally based.
With your help, we will be able to reach the additional goal of producing Main Stage Productions that would have an extended run in a high profile venue. As always, it is CV REP’s goal to bring the type of productions seen throughout other southern California cities, like the South Coast REP, San Diego Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse, etc. We know this is possible here in the desert with you support!
