An LA Opera community educator will share insights into the upcoming production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 1791 German opera "The Magic Flute" Monday, Nov. 18, at 1 p.m. in the Scott Pavilion at the Pasadena Senior Center. One of the most iconic operas of all time, the fairy tale is about a prince who sets out with a magic flute, magic bells and the assistance of a bird catcher to rescue the daughter of the Queen of the Night from the supposedly dark lord Sarastro, but all is not as it seems. You do not have to be a member of the Pasadena Senior Center to attend, but you do have to be 50 or older.


The Screening Mimis Film Discussion Group presents "White Squall" (1996, PG-13) starring Jeff Bridges and Scott Wolf Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 1:30 p.m. in the Scott Pavilion at the Pasadena Senior Center. Teenagers from a prep school for boys take a trip aboard the brigantine ship Albatross in 1960 captained by a grizzled seafarer. The long voyage combines classroom work, character-building and adventure, and the boys experience a life-altering event that foreshadows their ultimate fate. The film is based on true events. The Screening Mimis Film Discussion Group features a provocative movie the first and third Tuesday of every month, preceded by a presentation about the film's hidden history and followed by a lively discussion. Free popcorn will be available. See the trailer here. You do not have to be a member of the Pasadena Senior Center to attend, but you do have to be 50 or older.

Wright Auditorium at Central Library. The Weismann Follies showgirls reunite one last time before their old theater is torn down, and they sing and dance through old numbers while confronting past regrets and misplaced hopes. See a trailer here.

  1. Call Dr. Jakiki for urgent and fast love spell +1 (304) 441-7224 or email him Spellcasthome@gmail.com

     I lost my husband to another woman,after 4 years of marriage . We had a lovely marriage but he started a relationship with a co worker who chased after him . He is living away near his work and he refused to talk to me or to come home . I was so devastated and found it hard to cope. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a comment by Amber that suggested that Dr Jakiki helped her solve her marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. 2 days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Jakiki. If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. I give you 100% guarantee that he will help you.

  2. LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY

    Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and I dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and I did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew I needed to seek help because of the love I have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because I am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you at
