"Singin' in the Rain"

January 22, 2010



If you are a typical resident of Southern California, you might want to say "enough already" after a week of rain. You also might feel a tad guilty for wishing the rain would go away and stay away. I hear folks complaining about the storm in one breath and in the next breath say, "Oh, but we really need the rain."

Beginning on Friday, January 22 at the Landis Performing Arts Center, 4800 Magnolia Avenue in Riverside, you can be treated to the musical "Singin' in the Rain". Don't you remember what fun it was with Gene Kelly as the star of the movie back in the. 20 years ago, the musical was produced on Broadway, but had limited success. It has all been revamped and is a fun production which celebrates the movie industry of the 1940s and the transition from silent films to talkies. It will make you joyous about the present weather. (Well, maybe not, but it will warm your heart.)

Tickets are $25-$43. For more information you can call 951-22-8100 or on the Internet, http://www.performanceriverside.org/

In San Bernardino on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., the San Bernardino Symphony will present its annual family concert at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts, 542 W. Fourth Street. Musical Fantasies will include a musical tribute to Michael Jackson as well as CArlos Chavez's Toccata for 6 Percussions and Vaughn-William's Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Cost is $10 for students with ID and $20-$55 general admission. For more information you can call 909-381-5388 or on the Internet http://www.sanbernardinosymphony.org/
