When ghosts are listed as characters and have names in the “Bio” notes, one usually expects to see either a drama or a comedy. (Think “The Innocents” or “Blithe Spirit”.) However, in this production at San Diego’s venerable Old Globe Theatre, we’re dealing with ...

The Palm Springs Local: Red Barn
 The Red Barn
By “The Palm Springs Local” Denise Ortuno Neil
Most out-of-the-way local dive-bars are usually; well, out of the way. That, however, is not the case with one of the oldest bars in the Coachella Valley.

Story by Allen Lawrence
Avatar, which as of today the Number Two World Wide, and Number Three in the US, Box office hits, is playing at IMAX Theater in Cathedral City to capacity crowds. As a loyal Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan as well as a fan of Director James Cameron, I could not wait to see Avatar. While it might seem logical to go to see movies like this when it first opens, I was fearful that there would be long lines and hard to get into see Avatar so I dec ...
