Where: North Hall 123 (Seminary Chapel) on the main FPU campus, 1717 S. Chestnut Ave., Fresno

Love, mistaken identity and social standing are among the themes played for laughs in the fall Mainstage play at Fresno Pacific University.

Tickets are $12 for general audiences, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for alumni card holders.

The French comedy, written by Pierre Carlet de Marivaux and translated and adapted by Stephen Wadsworth, finds Silvia kidnapped by a prince and pursued by her fiancé Harlequin. But who are the day’s true heroes and villains—and what of this officer of the palace?

The cast includes Chris Deleon, a senior from Fresno, as Harlequin; Annelise Escobedo, a junior from Clovis, as Silvia; Maria Monreal, a junior from Fresno, as Flamina; Meghan Barrett, a sophomore from Bakersfield, as Lisette; Garrison Bennett, a senior from Reedley, as The Prince; Allison Calhoun, a sophomore from Lemoore, as Trivelin; and Edgar Olivera, a 2010 graduate from Fresno, as a Lord. Also in the cast are Lysa Sanders (freshman, Visalia), Kaylee Merritt (junior, Kingsburg), Karen Vargas (sophomore, Tulare) and Juana Moreno Martinez (freshman, Lindsay). Julia Reimer, Ph.D., associate professor of theater, is the director.

King Kong

When: November 19th 7:00pm to 10:00pm

Where: Warnors Theatre 1400 Fulton Street

King Kong is the father of all modern monster movies. It first thrilled audiences in 1933, and its special effects are quite impressive considering the time period in which it was made.

The film tells of a gigantic, prehistoric, island-dwelling ape called Kong. It is especially noted for its stop-motion animation by Willis O’Brien and a groundbreaking musical score by Max Steiner.

Doors open at 6:00 PM followed by a pipe organ concert at 6:30 PM
Film starts at 7:00 PM

$5 per person
Children 12 and under are FREE!
Typically those who dress in film get in free, but this month anyone who brings a NEW blanket gets in FREE! We’re helping Fresno’s MEAL to collect blankets to be distributed to Fresno’s homeless this holiday season, as part of the 2nd annual #KeepFresnoWarm blanket drive.

*For those who are interested in an adult beverage, Frank’s Place will be open before, during, and after the film.

Head YES man at FresYes.com

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
