UPDATED ODD COUPLE PLAY IN LA MESA PROVIDES INSIGHTS ON FRIENDSHIPS DESPITE DIFFERENCES

By Susan Taylor

July 15,2004 (La Mesa) -- Neil Simon’s timeless comedy, The Odd Couple, is playing at Lamplighters Theatre in La Mesa through July 28, a play worth seeing.  Directed by Diane Jones and produced by Cydney King, it is billed as the “female version”, so the cast is all female, with the exception of two male roles introduced in the second act.

The show retains the game-playing friends in a 1980’s New York apartment, and the principal roles of the jilted spouse and the slob.  Yvonne Nguyen portrays Florence Unger, the insecure wife in need of a place to stay and a best friend’s compassion. Erin Grayce plays Olive Madison, a hard-working sports writer who cares nothing for a tidy home.  Olive invites Florence to temporarily share her apartment until they get laughingly on each other’s nerves. Viewers come away with the realization that this very odd couple teaches valuable lessons about friendship and differences among people here and abroad.

PAN FOR GOLD AT HISTORIC BANNER CREEK, JULIAN ON JULY 12

East County News Service

July 7, 2024 (Julian)—Banner Ranch invites you to try your luck at panning for gold just as prospectors did in the 1870s at Banner Creek.  On July 12., you can rent a gold panning kit for four hours (9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. to  6 p.m.) and a glass tube container to take home any findings.

Banner City was founded in 1870 when Louis Redman tripped over gold quartz in a canyon 1500 feet below Julian.  He marked his gold find with an American flag, hence the town became known as Banner. Some claim the yield that year from Banner’s mines surpassed those of Julian’s gold prospecting.  Even today, there are over 150 placer claims in the area.

FLORENZANO FILMS TO HOLD SPECIAL SCREENING OF “BLOODY ANNIVERSARY” AT PARKWAY PLAZA’S REGAL CINEMA

July 6, 2024 (El Cajon) – Local filmmakers Florenzano Films will introduce their latest feature film Bloody Anniversary this Thursday July 11 at the Regal Cinema theater located at Parkway Plaza in El Cajon. 
 
The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with red carpet photos followed by a screening of the film at 7 p.m. Following the showing, the filmmakers will hold a Q&A session with the cast and crew of the production. Tickets cost $22 each and can be purchased through the website Eventbrite. 
 
Bloody Anniversary is the production company’s third feature film, building on their penance for dark action horror stories. The story follows a suburban housewife who is celebrating her 10-year anniversary, but as the title alludes, quickly turns bloody. 
 
But don’t let the title and synopsis fool you. According to the Director and Executive Producer Daniel Florenzano, this is not just another run of the mill slasher flick you would find anywhere.
 
“Actually, the movie has a couple stories going on,” he explained to East County Magazine during a recent interview. Florenzano says in addition to the main story, there’s a “B” and “C” plot line too. “We try to make something really suspenseful and grab the audience’s attention,” he adds.
