Lewis Family Playhouse at Victoria Gardens Cultural Center

A night in the forest becomes an adventure of love, laughter, and magic in this enchanting ballet inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream presented, once again, by Inland Pacific Ballet, the region’s premier ballet company celebrating 30 years of excellence in dance. This timeless story comes to life through dance, weaving together romance, humor, and fantasy in a celebration of Shakespeare’s classic tale, where fairies play tricks, friends get caught in mix-ups, and nothing goes as planned. By sunrise, the spells are broken, hearts are set right, and everyone discovers that even the wildest night can lead to a happy ending. There are only two performances between April 25-26 at Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga.
This ballet version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows four young lovers who wander into an enchanted forest, where fairies and magical mischief turn love and reason upside down. As spells are cast and hearts are confused, chaos transforms into wonder beneath the moonlight. Featuring Inland Pacific Ballet’s Company Dancers under the artistic direction of Zaylin Cano and choreographed by the celebrated Laurence Blake, known as a distinguished performer, choreographer, and educator, along with a score composed by Felix Mendelssohn, which is highly regarded for its romantic style and thematic connection to the fairy world, audiences will be enthralled with Queen Titania (Kelsey Dorr) and King Oberon (Special guest artist Reece Taylor, former IPB Company Member) as they celebrate their dominion over the fairies and their control over the mismatched human lovers in ecstatic dance. The trickster, Puck (Ahlias Tiamzon), gambols throughout the corps spreading magic and mischief. The ballet concludes with an extended, lavish wedding dance featuring a large and diverse cast amid glorious sets.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum presents the 15th annual Linda and Tony Rubin Lecture program <a href="https://www.ushmm.org/online-calendar/event/wcpubp10426" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“Antisemitism Then and Now”</a> on Thursday, April 30, at 6 p.m.
Holocaust history has the power to teach diverse audiences to think critically about the dangers of unchecked antisemitism. Museum historian Dr. Daniel Greene will explore the relationship between conspiratorial thinking and antisemitism, going back to its origins. He will focus on a notorious and widely distributed propaganda tool, “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” and how it continues to be used to spread antisemitism around the world today. 
Linda and Tony Rubin, dedicated supporters of the Museum since 1994, will open the program with remarks. Their annual Rubin Lecture has consistently brought thought-provoking discussions on Holocaust history and education to audiences in the Western Region.
“We are deeply grateful to Linda and Tony Rubin for their enduring commitment to Holocaust education and for making this important annual lecture possible,” said Carol Stulberg, the Museum’s senior advisor for leadership giving in the Western Region. “Their leadership continues to bring critical conversations to our community at a time when understanding antisemitism has never been more urgent. We are honored to welcome Dr. Daniel Greene, whose research and experience helps illuminate how antisemitism has evolved and why confronting it—through education, awareness and historical truth—remains essential today.”
The Museum’s Western Region encompasses the 10 western states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Since opening in 1993, the Museum has welcomed more than <a href="https://www.ushmm.org/information/press/press-kits/united-states-holocaust-memorial-museum-press-kit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">50 million visitors</a> from all over the world, including more than 120 heads of state.
<a href="https://www.ushmm.org/online-calendar/event/wcpubp10426" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“Antisemitism Then and Now”</a> program is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. For questions or more information, please contact the Museum’s Western Regional Office at 202.817.4725 or email <a href="mailto:westernteam@ushmm.org">westernteam@ushmm.org</a>.
The program will take place at Sinai Temple, located at 10400 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90024.

A nonpartisan federal educational institution, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is America’s national memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, dedicated to ensuring the permanence of Holocaust memory, understanding, and relevance. The power of Holocaust history challenges leaders and individuals worldwide to think critically about their role in society and to confront antisemitism and other forms of hate, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity.
