Artists For Kids Presents Mountains, The Sun & Love
2019-11-07 19:30 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
Artists For Kids presents MOUNTAINS, THE SUN & LOVE, an Armenian language film by Michael Poghosyan.
In Moscow photojournalist Anastacia, assigned to make a photo report about Armenian Artists Union’s exhibition, stumbles on a portrait with her face. Dated 1991, it had an unfamiliar signature – Zatik. She realizes it’s a portrait of her late mother. Anastacia finds evidence in the house that leads her to conclude that the painter is her father, about whom her mother had avoided speaking.
She arrives in the village of Yenoqavan in Armenia to find him and take revenge. Zatik is famous in the village for his crazy lifestyle, eccentric behavior and love for alcohol. Despite this he is accepted and loved for being an enthusiastic person and talented painter. Anastacia hates her father’s ludicrous activities and fabricates different situations to make Zatik’s life harder. She photographs everything that reveals this unconventional painter’s true face. At last she confronts Zatik with the pictures she has taken and lashes out at him, fueled by all the pain and hate that she has held inside through the years.
Then Anastacia finds out Zatik is not her father; he was in love with her mother, but it was never mutual. Later she finds her real father, only to realize he doesn’t love her. This causes her to re-evaluate what she learned in Armenia and her feelings about Zatik, ultimately realizing he has become family to her and that she will never let him go out of her life.

Musical Theatre Guild presents a Staged Concert Version of
THE GOODBYE GIRL
Music: Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics: David Zippel
Book: Neil Simon
Based on Simon’s 1977 award-winning screenplay of the same name
Based on Neil Simon’s 1977 award-winning film, THE GOODBYE GIRL follows the unlikely comic romance between Paula, a bitter single mother and former Broadway dancer who has been jilted one too many times, and Elliot, an opinionated actor who shows up unexpectedly with a lease to sublet her apartment. Musical sparks ensue. Simon’s collaborators for the musical were the legendary Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line) and David Zippel (City of Angels).
After an out-of-town tryout in Chicago, THE GOODBYE GIRL opened on Broadway in 1993 starring Bernadette Peters and, in his Broadway debut, Martin Short. It ran for 188 performances, was nominated for 5 Tony® Awards and won the Drama Desk Award for Mr. Hamlisch’s brassy, giddy and rhythmic score.
