Vibes to bk and his "Glittering Diamonds:"
"Glittering Diamonds...75 Years and Beyond: On December 3, 2005, one of the most jubilant events in the history of Los Angeles City College will take place on the Vermont Avenue campus. A star-studded salute to the achievements of the students, faculty, and staff of the Theatre Department and Academy will be held at 8:00 pm in the Camino Theatre. This concert-style benefit performance celebrates 75 years of excellence in theatre education and training. The once-in-a-lifetime show will feature appearances by celebrity alumni Cindy Williams, Mark Hamill, Hugh O'Brian, Diana Canova, Victor Love, Annette Cardona, Alex Henteloff, and Michael Lembeck, among others. Directed by Al Rossi and Bruce Kimmel, with Musical Direction by Rob Bowers, the evening will consist of songs and scenes, with tributes to distinguished alumni, including Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Charles Gordone, award-winning actor Paul Winfield, and one of American's most important theatre directors, José Quintero. Video montages of the film and television work of these and many other professional alumni will be an integral part of the event. Many current Theatre Academy students will also appear. The event will include a silent auction of theatrical memorabilia, and conclude with a post-performance champagne reception for performers and audience. This opportunity to renew old friendships, create new ones, and affirm the continuity and continuing excellence of the training at LACC is a one night only experience, memories of which, like diamonds, will last forever. Producer of the event is Fred Fate, Chair of the Theatre Academy, in association with Tina Saddington, president of the LACC Theatre Alumni and Associates, and Richard Galope, Executive Director of the LACC Foundation. All proceeds will go to providing student scholarships and to support continuing development of the programs of the Theatre Academy.
