We start the weekend off with a chance for rain and thunder this afternoon. Hopefully it will be dry for Happy Hours across the valley as the temps are cooling a bit and we can truly enjoy the patios – sans misters.
I love the new touches that Palm Canyon Theatre is putting on an old chestnut – “Sordid Lives” starts tonight with new audience participation elements. Read about it below.
On the big screen, it’s the last weekend of Cinema Diverse. I am giving a shoutout to Andrea Myerson, whose film, “This Is Jessica” screens Saturday night. I’ve known Andrea from the LA days and her stellar work where she has been featured at Outfest. This film about a Mormon boy who knew she was a girl. As described, “This is the story of a woman faced with an impossible choice between the life into which she was born, and the one she was born to live.”
Listen Monday to me and John Taylor on the morning show when I’ll have a little dirt on Tammy Fae Baker’s life in the desert. And be sure to check out KGAY’s Facebook page for your chance to win Gladys Knight tickets.
