HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Here’s some exciting news – the 38th annual Fiesta de los Cumpleanos (Festival of Birthdays) – the one of a kind celebration will be taking place this year in Rosarito Beach at the famous hotel on the ocean on January 28-29. If you’ve never been there – you are in for a treat. If you’re interested in attending – send me an e-mail and I will get you all the info you need. We have terrific room-rates for the night – an ocean front room with dinner for two for only $89.00 plus tax – and we have a full day of party events including the annual Tortilla Toss from the Rosarito Pier and the annual Karaoke competition! Hope you can make it.
And – here are some Zeiger movie recommendations – THE ARTIST, HUGO, and MIDNIGHT IN PARIS are my favorite films of the year so far – but also enjoyed WAR HORSE and WE BOUGHT A ZOO (made by San Diego director, CAMERON CROWE with editing by Point Loma High grad, JOE HUTSHING.
One more item – if you’re not a member of the Facebook Page – GOTTA SI NG GOTTA DANCE MUSICAL THEATRE ALUMNI (and you don’t have to be an alumnus to join) – please do so today – there are over 1,000 photos from all the shows, and nearly 100 YouTube Videos from the 31 years of musical theatre. PLUS – don’t miss the YouTube hit – ZEIGER THE PSYCHO. Made in 1977 – the one minute film shows the deteoriation of a teacher (me) as the building he teaches in is being torn down. RICHARD LASTING made the film and stars as the terrifified student.
And just added – A.J. KNOX in 2001 produced a prize-winning animated film in my class called L’AMOUR – a french love story between a dog and a piece of cheese! You will love it – I promise. Again, you can access these films and other at the GOTTA SING GOTTA DANCE FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE – or simply by going to YouTube – and searching by title – also by my name.
CONGRATULATIONS also to HALLE STANFORD (Emmy nominee for Best Children’s Programming for SID THE SCIENCE KID), NICOLE OPPER (Emmy nominee for Best Documenary, OFF AND RUNNING), and to RACHEL PANDZA and DUSTY DUPREL who had the WORLD PREMIERE of BEYOND THE CHAIR at the Laemlle Music Hall Theatre in Beverly Hills last month! Watch for the San Diego premiere!
Have a wonderful New Year!!!
