Stargaze Productions Presents AEGIS Live in Los Angeles
2015-09-18 20:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
One of the most popular OPM bands is the New and Enhanced AEGIS Band, now graced by 7 members – six girls and a man, whom the girls tease as already being like one of them (of course, they’re just kidding).
The band has truly become a family after years of shared experiences: making music, traveling to foreign shores, sharing rooms, food, stories and lives. But more than simply being family, due to the potpourri of native roots within the band the AEGIS members also seem to represent the the three major islands of the Philippines. Original members Juliet and Mercy Sunot (lead vocalists) and their youngest sister and newest member of AEGIS, Kris Sunot, come from Cagayan de Oro. Stella Maries Galindo-Pabico is from Misamis Occidental, Vilma Goloviogo from Manila, bass guitarist Rowena ‘Weng’ Pinpin-Adriano is a Pampagueña, and Rey Abenoja, the lone male member, hails from Southern Leyte.
Formerly known as AG’s Sound Trippers (AG’s being the name of their manager’s company), the group opted to shorten the name to AG’s or AEGIS. Since the literary meaning of AEGIS is ‘Shield’or ‘Protection,’ the group feels the name expresses what they want to share with their listeners and what they hope listeners feel when hearing their songs: the sense of being ‘protected’ and ‘shielded’ from being lonely. Most of the songs the members of AEGIS chose for their album are love songs; they hope that lovers will take from their songs a sense of protection from being lonely and broken-hearted.
The success this Pinoy band achieved on local shores has opened opportunities for them to share their music with Filipinos and foreigners alike, and they have toured the USA, Canada, Europe, the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, UAE, Saipan, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan. For as long as there are Filipinos and fans anywhere in the world who long for great music and entertainment, AEGIS will be there to provide it.

Alex Film Society Presents High School Confidential (1958)
2015-07-25 20:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL is a 1958 teen exploitation picture where all the teens seem to be played by thirty year olds. This hilarious marijuana exposé, directed by Jack Arnold, opens with the title song performed by Jerry Lee Lewis. It became an instant hit for Sam Phillips’ Sun Records and reached #21 on the Billboard charts. The wildly improbable cast is headed by fifties pinup queen Mamie Van Doren and features Russ Tamblyn, Jan Sterling, John Drew Barrymore, Jackie Coogan, Michael Landon, Charlie Chaplin Jr. and even William Wellman Jr. A perfect time capsule of ’50s teen angst and beatnik rebellion, High School Confidential is a rare example of a major studio (MGM) trying to cash in on a burgeoning teen market. Filmed in glorious black and white CinemaScope, The Official Razzie Movie Guide rates it one of The 100 Most Enjoyable Bad Movies Ever Made.

Opera California Youth Choir Presents The Sign
2015-07-11 19:30 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Opera California Youth Choir presents THE SIGN
Everyone is looking for a sign, some kind of symbol to guide them through life.
In this play, THE SIGN, we follow a group of orphaned children and their caretaker, Pastor Sam, played by Samuel Shin. This tight-knit group’s story begins when Iris, one of the orphans, has a dream, a sign foreshadowing the orphans’ greatest fear, losing their one and only home. This fear takes form when an evil Rich Person, played by Jonathan Baek, suddenly appears to tell them they have one week to leave. Is their testament to loving God and each other strong enough to get them through this tough time? With supernatural help from an unexpected guest, things may turn out for the best.
True friendship is championed through trials and tribulations and, with signs and wonders all around us, would you believe that the children and their beloved Pastor could have faith enough to overcome this obstacle by the bonds of God’s love?

Each story is narrated by celebrated actresses: Cate Blanchett (Haiti), Priyanka Chopra (India), Selena Gomez (Sierra Leone), Anne Hathaway (Afghanistan), Salma Hayek (Peru), Alicia Keys (Cambodia), Chloe Moretz (Egypt), Meryl Streep (Ethiopia), and Kerry Washington (Nepal).
