Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents the exclusive Southern California engagement of the bril-liant Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater March 6 – 11, during its national tour celebrating the start of an exciting era with new Artistic Director Robert Battle. The Company, recognized by U.S. Congress as a vital Ameri-can “Cu l tura l Ambassador to the World,” brings the Southern Cal i fornia premieres of Arden Court, the first Paul Taylor piece to be brought into the Ailey rep-ertoire; Home by bold hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harr is; Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16, featur-ing improvisation and audience participation; and one of Battle’s first bravura solos, Takademe. In homage to the artistry of Alvin Ailey, the Company will dance a new staging of Streams. The Ailey will also perform repertoire favorites including Battle’s The Hunt, Ulysses Dove’s Urban Folk Dance and Ailey’s Memoria and Night Creature, as well as his be-loved masterpiece Revelations.

Additionally, in conjunction with this visit by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, there will be a special bus-in performance at the Center for 2,800 Orange County students grades 3 – 12 on March 8 at 10 a.m. The one-hour stu-dent performance will be moder-ated by one of the Ailey dancers who will provide an inside look into Ailey’s theatrical magic, and will feature excerpts from Night Creature, Takademe, along with Ailey’s must-see American clas-sic Revelations in i ts entirety. The Ailey bus-in is sold out but teachers and schools interested in future bus-in opportunities can

Free Preview Talks by company members will be conducted one hour prior to each performance. Artists and program are subject to change.

For his first season as artistic director, Battle has chosen to add to the Ailey repertoire a rich array of productions that express his vision for the company while hon-oring some of his most significant artistic influences. Repertoire for Alvin Ailey American Dance The-ater ’s visit to Segerstrom Center Southern California Premieres Arden Cour t (1981) , choreo-graphed by Paul Taylor

Modern dance master Paul Taylor supervised the staging of this technically challenging work (rarely performed by companies other than his own) on the Ailey company (the first of his works to enter the Ailey repertoire). Set to a sumptuous baroque score by William Boyce, Arden Court is a richly dynamic dance featuring striking duets, solos and a men’s sextet showcasing the dancers’ skil ls and musicality. Taylor is one of the artistic inspirations for Battle, whose choreography often reflects the expansive use of space that is a hallmark of Taylor ’s work.

Share Our Strength®, the nation’s leading nonprofit working to end childhood hunger, encourages bak-ers everywhere to take their extra day in 2012 - Leap Day - and make it count by committing to host a bake sale to help end childhood hunger. Individuals and groups sign up to host bake sales in their local commu-nities and send the funds they raise to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® Campaign. The ninth annual Great American Bake Sale, presented by Domino Sugar®, C&H Sugar® and Duncan Hines®, offi-cially launches on February 29 and runs through the end of the year.

In addition to the leap year launch, the Great American Bake Sale will hold its National Challenge Weekend April 20-22, with a goal of host-ing 500 bake sales - at least 10 in every state - in one weekend. The first 300 bake sale hosts to submit $275 or more from bake sales held on National Challenge Weekend will receive a Jay at Play’s Little Miss Muffin Pop N Flip™ toy, a 9” doll tucked inside rubber muffin cups, to thank them for their efforts.

“With one in five kids in America struggling with hunger, it’s more im-portant than ever to get involved and help connect children with the food they need,” says Great American Bake Sale Director Amy Crowell. “It’s one of the simplest and most enduring fundraising ideas around. Every year, we see families, kids, businesses, churches and organiza-tions of every kind signing up to host sales and raise money to help make sure that every child in the U.S. gets the food he or she needs.”

Since 2003, more than 1.2 million people have participated in the Great American Bake Sale, raising more than $8 million—funds Share Our Strength uses in a variety of ways, from working with Federal and state

governments and local nonprofits to make sure that children and parents at-risk of hunger are using the nutri-tion programs they’re eligible for; to educating families about how to plan, shop for and prepare the affordable, healthy meals; and advocating for change that will end childhood hun-ger in America.

“Every bake sale brings Share Our Strength one step closer to ending childhood hunger in America, whether it raises $50 or $5,000,” Crowell says. “Our online Bake Sale Resource Center provides tools and

ideas for making every bake sale as successful and fun as possible. Bakers will find planning checklists, templates for flyers, tips on location, pricing and photography and more all online. They can also be part of the bake sale community and share photos and experience from their individual or group events on our Facebook page.”

“It’s easy to carve a horse out of a block of marble.Just chisel away everything that doesn’t look like a

horse and this is what you have left”-Michelangelo

“Oh, What a Night!” it will be as rock ‘n’ roll’s Frankie Valli and the Four Sea-sons return to Segerstrom Center for an evening featuring their unforgettable classic hits such as “Sherry” and “My Eyes Adored You.” Valli’s incredible career as a solo artist and with the Four Seasons has produced 19 Top 10 hits and sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Jersey Boys, the Tony® Award-winning Broadway musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, is currently the hottest show in New York.

Tickets for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons start at $43 and are now avail-able online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket discounts for 15 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is one of the best-selling vocal groups of all time. Possessed with one of the most distinctive voices in all of rock ‘n’ roll, Valli continues to dazzle. His first big hit was the 1962 “Sherry” by Bob Gaudio, who wrote or co-wrote and produced almost the entire Four Seasons catalogue with heavy involve-ment by Bob Crewe.

Over the next few years the Four Seasons released such unforgettable original songs as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl” and “Rag Doll,” all of which became rock ‘n’ roll classics. In 1966, Valli released his first solo record. Also in 1966, he scored a Top 40 hit with “You’re Gonna Hurt Yourself.” That same year, the Four Seasons reached the No. 3 spot on the pop charts with “Let’s Hang On.” The year 1967 saw Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes off You” rise to No. 2, while “I Make A Fool of Myself” and “To Give (the Reason I Live)” both became Top 40 hits; the Four Seasons also had three Top

40 entries that year, including the gold-selling “C’Mon Marianne.” In 1974, Valli was back on top of the charts,

going platinum with the bittersweet ballad “My Eyes Adored

You.” “Swearin’ to God,” with its disco beat and con-temporary sensibilities went gold, climbing to No. 6 in 1975. That same year, “Our Day Will Come” reached No. 11 on the charts. In March of 1976, “December, ‘63 (Oh, What a Night)” climbed to No. 1 staying at the top for three weeks. Valli scored another megahit in 1978 with the title track of the best-selling Grease soundtrack. When “December, ‘63 (Oh, What a Night)” appeared on the soundtrack to Forrest Gump, it re-entered the singles chart. Owing to its second lease on life, it became the longest-charting single in history with 50 total weeks. Valli has continued to woo audiences throughout the world both with his recordings and live performances

for almost four decades, truly making him one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most enduring performers.

Following on the monumental success of the 2008 exhibition, Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China’s First Emperor, the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California and The Houston Museum of Natural Science partner again for a sequel exhibit of newly-discovered treasures from ancient Chinese tombs. Warriors, Tombs, and Temples: China’s Endur-ing Legacy continues at the Bowers Museum thru March 4, 2012.

On loan from China and making their debut in the United States are 200 incredibly preserved ancient works of art from the three dynasties that form the foundation of Chinese civilization: the Qin (221 –206 BCE), the Han (206 BCE – 220 CE) and the Tang (618 - 907 CE). Many of these artifacts are recent discover-ies, having been unearthed from imperial, royal and elite tombs and from ancient Buddhist monasteries in and around each of these dynas-ties’ capital cities, all located near the modern city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province.

Ancient Chinese tombs are struc-tured like dwellings on earth, con-taining replicas of all the attendants, food, animals, and in the case of emperors, warriors and government officials to ensure a prosperous and comfortable afterlife for the deceased. Aside from their striking artistic beauty, the objects will also inform visitors about aspects of daily life and values in the capital cities of ancient China: how people made a living, worshipped, traded, and buried their dead. Daily rituals of the royal families, along with what elites wore, rode on, ate from, and took to their tombs.

“The material in the exhibition is dramatic enough to appeal to anyone of any age group or level of familiarity with Chinese culture. The stories the pieces tell are so vivid that the viewer will leave the show with an increased awareness of China’s great historical traditions and its importance in the world to-day,” says Suzanne Cahill, Guest Curator of the Bowers Museum.

From the Qin Dynasty (221 – 206 BCE): The exhibition features four of the famous life-size Terra Cotta Warriors, protectors of China’s First Emperor Qin Shihuangdi, whose mausoleum complex is considered the eighth wonder of the world. Thanks to new conservation tech-niques, the paint on the warriors’ armor is now clearly visible and there

are unexpected touches: premier-ing in this exhibition is the strangest of all—a Terra Cotta Warrior posed as a Kneeling Archer whose face is painted green. Among the thousands

of Warriors excavated to date, it is the only one to exhibit this phenom-ena and remains a subject of intrigue and debate among scholars.

From the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE): Smaller in scale (1/3 original size) but equally impressive, are the terra cotta warriors from the imperial tomb complex of the famous Han rebel-turned-emperor and from the fifth Han emperor Jingdi. Like the Qin army of warriors, they have individualized features and are com-pletely outfitted for battle- only their

expressions are peaceful, reflect-ing that this was a less oppressive dynasty. Unique from the Qin dy-nasty, the Han emperors outfitted their figures in actual silk garments and gave them mobility with articu-lated wooden arms; both garments and arms have since disintegrated. The warriors are presented in com-bination with male and female at-tendants, animals and other neces-sities’ required for a prosperous and comfortable afterlife. Additionally, a full-size set of ornate stone tomb doors with surrounding stone frame that once housed a member of the elite, will give viewers a true sense of scale and beauty of an ancient Chinese tomb.

From the Tang Dynasty (618 -907 CE): Warriors, Tombs and Temples: China’s Enduring Legacy dazzles with the riches from the Tang dynasty the zenith of trade in exotic goods and dispersal of innovative ideas along the Silk Road, the ancient trade route that joined the ancient Eastern World with Western Civiliza-tion. The precious objects include gold dragons, fine ornaments, an exquisite tomb guardian and other luxuries. A rare and important paint-ing of a polo game between royals illustrates the adoption of Western influences by the East. Sacred ob-jects including a set of four precious stone and metal reliquary boxes, the innermost of which held the finger bone relic of the historic Buddha, will be displayed for the first time outside of China. The finger bone relic (not part of the exhibition) was the founding deposit of the Famen Temple and was interred with many gold, silver and other fine objects commissioned and gifted by several Chinese emperors and individuals of importance. This important part of the exhibition illustrates the widespread acceptance of Buddhist beliefs among commoners and elites alike, and the high level of artistry of the Tang dynasty.

The exhibition will be accompa-nied by a fully illustrated exhibition catalog authored by noted Tang dynasty scholar, and guest curator

of the exhibition, Suzanne Cahill of the University of California, San Diego. The exhibition catalog may be purchased for $34.95. In addition, a 95 page Guide to the Exhibition, illustrated with exhibition highlights will also be available for purchase for $14.95. Both publications, as well as others related to the exhibition are available at the Bowers Gallery Store, or online at http://shop.bow-ers.org.

The 36th Annual YMCA Reach Out Gala was held at The Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach with over 250 guests. They enjoyed a champagne reception and a lively silent and live auction. Live auction highlights included a Newport Bay Yacht cruise for 20, a five night stay at Ritz Carlton vacation property in the Bahamas with two round trip Southwest Airlines Vouchers, a seven night stay in Kauai, Hawaii and $5,000 worth of custom outdoor furniture donated by O.W. Lee.

Entertainment was provided by the dancers and vocalists of Wayne Foster Entertainment. Whimsical butterfly accented floral trees were provided by Jenny B. Floral Designs. The evening was hosted by Kent French, Voice of the Anaheim Ducks and also an Anaheim Family YMCA Board Member.

The YMCA Reach Out Gala originally began as a women’s luncheon for the YMCA Foster Care Program, hosted by Orange County philanthropist Donna Crean. In 2009, the event transitioned from YMCA Reach Out Awards into the YMCA Reach Out Gala. In 2010, a new tradition was born, transforming the event into a collaborative fundraiser between the YMCA of Orange County, the YMCA of Orange and the Anaheim Family YMCA. In 2012, the event was moved to February to highlight the Annual Support Campaigns of three YMCA’s. Proceeds of this year’s gala will benefit the YMCA’s Financial Assistance Programs throughout the county, providing support to children, individuals and families who would otherwise be unable to participate in Y programs.

The evening marked important milestones for the YMCA: including 125 years of the YMCA in Orange County, the 100th Anniversary of the Anaheim Family YMCA and the recognition of National YMCA Honor Roll Donors. The Y recognized 21 individuals, families and family foundations for their contributions totaling $100,000 in their lifetime, to their local YMCA’s, includ-ing C.J. Segerstrom and Sons accepted by Sandy and Sally Segerstrom. Kelly Crean accepted the award on behalf of the family foundation and her grandmother, Donna Crean. Hugh Helm of Newport Beach accepted on behalf of his friends and fellow YMCA OC Board Members, Dave and Pat Lamb. Other honorees included: Alden and Linda Esping, Bob & Delight Nease, David & Amy Davidson, Donald Crevier of Crevier BMW, Donald P. & Dorothy Kennedy, Estate of Edna Archer Smith, J.F. Shea Company Foundation, Marge Hearn, Michael and Diane Stephens, Tom and Cynthia Coad, Tony and Erin Spriggs, Vince and Colette Taormina and W. William and Marcia Gaboury.

Kelly Crean punctuated the evening by drawing the winning ticket of the Y Travel Raffle. Nancy McAdam of San Diego was the lucky winner of a $5000 travel voucher good for any trip or trips valued at or below $5,000, through World Travel Bureau.

The YMCA Reach Out Gala was generously sponsored by The Crean Foundation, as a Diamond Sponsor at $25,000 and Dave and Pat Lamb of Newport Beach, as a Gold Sponsor $10,000. The event raised over $150,000 and funds will be designated to the Anaheim Family YMCA, YMCA of Orange County and the YMCA of Orange.

At the Y, strengthening community is the cause. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y serves Orange County through three separate, nonprofit, mission driven YMCAs: Anaheim Family YMCA, YMCA of Orange County and the YMCA of Orange. YMCA programs celebrate and honor common values of respect, responsibility, honesty, and caring by infusing character development into the foundation and practice of all the programs; from youth sports and group exercise classes to parent/child programs and community services– Y programs build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

FEAST YOUR EYES on stunningly beautiful specimens of native Californian Gold brought to life by gold rush memorabilia. See The Mojave Nugget, the largest known gold nugget ever found in Califor-nia. The nugget, which weighs 156 troy ounces (4.9 kg), is part of the Margie and Robert E. Petersen Collection of gold nuggets that was donated to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Rounding out the exhibit are artifacts from Northern California’s Oriental Mine and recovered treasure from “SS Central America,’ sometimes called the “Ship of Gold.” The ship sank in a hurricane in Sep-tember 1857, along with 400 passengers and crew and 30,000 pounds of gold, greatly contributing to the Panic of 1857.

Examples of gold found in their natural forms of leaves and crystals are increasingly rare. Most gold is retrieved in a metallic state in the form of dust, grains, flakes, or nuggets. It is found, in quartz veins, or lodes so finely disseminated that it is not easily visible, and placer deposits, where the gold ends up as sediment in the bed of the stream or on its flood plain or delta and can be gathered by panning, dredging, and hydraulic mining.

The gold in this exhibit which was recovered from the “SS Central America” ship was 8000 feet below the surface of the ocean for almost 150 years. It is fascinating to consider how, though the metal parts from the ship had been badly eaten away by rust, the gold remained unharmed and its value had only increased over time.

Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series is the first major mu-seum exhibition to explore the art-ist’s most celebrated series created from 1967 to 1988. Recognized as a leading West Coast Abstract Expressionist in the 1950s, Dieben-korn turned his attention to figurative painting in 1955 and achieved equal success in this alternate style. In 1967 he returned to abstraction, and during the next twenty years would forge one of the most compelling and masterful bodies of work of the 20th century: the Ocean Park series. Featuring approximately 80 works—including paintings, prints, drawings, and collages—this exhibi-tion captures Diebenkorn’s practice of working simultaneously in diverse media and provides audiences with the first opportunity to explore the complexity of Diebenkorn’s artistic and aesthetic concerns in this semi-nal body of work. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 250-page, fully illustrated catalogue, available here, and will tour to the Modern Art Mu-seum of Fort Worth and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean

Park Series is co-organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The exhibition is curated by OCMA Curator Sarah Bancroft.

The exhibition is made possible by the Henry Luce Foundation and BNY Mellon Wealth Management is the National Presenting Sponsor.

The Orange County Museum of Art is the premier visual arts organization in Orange County, California, serving a population of nearly three million residents in one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. Critically acclaimed exhibitions such as Picasso to Pollock: Modern Master-pieces from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Mary Heilmann: To Be Someone, and Birth of the Cool: Art Design, and Culture at Midcentury, draw more than 40,000 visitors annu-ally. Some 15,000 children and adults participate in award winning education programs. The museum’s collection comprises nearly 2,500 objects, with a concentration on the art of California from the early 20th century to present.

Originally incorporated in 1918 as the Laguna Beach Art Association, the museum grew, expanded its facilities

in Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa into nationally recognized programs, and in 1996 took the name Orange County Museum of Art. The museum is especially noted for orga-nizing important exhibitions of contemporary art, includ-ing the first surveys of Vija Celmins (1980), Chris Bur-den (1988), and Tony Cragg (1990), as well as major ex-hibitions of work by Lari Pit-tman (1983), Gunther Forg (1989), Charles Ray (1990), Guillermo Kuitca (1992), Bill Viola (1997), Inigo Manglano-Ovalle (2003), Catherine Opie (2006), and Mary Heilmann (2007).

In 1984 the Museum launched the California Biennial, which has grown to become the premier exhibition for emerging artists in the state. The museum has co-organized exhibitions with the Renaissance Society, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Grey Art Gallery, and its exhibitions have traveled to more than 20 museums here and abroad over the last decade.

DISCOVER THE SPECTACULAR DESIGNS OF PETER CARL FA-BERGÉ, the master goldsmith and legendary jeweler still celebrated for his inventive designs and meticulous craftsmanship, through a special ex-hibition, Fabergé: Imperial Jeweler to the Tsars opening at the Bowers Museum June 21, 2012.

“There have been many Fabergé exhibitions around the world over the last several decades. However, very few have showcased some of the most rare and spectacular masterpieces he created, which are on display in this special exhibition,” said Peter Keller, Ph. D., president of the Bowers Museum. “The emphasis here is on the objects of luxury that he created— common, everyday objects that he developed with a sense of turning the everyday into the extraordinary. For example, visitors will see numerous utilitarian items, such as cigarette lighters and cases, numerous hat pins, which have been transformed into objects of luxury by Fabergé and his firm.”

Perhaps best known for Imperial Easter Eggs created for the Russian Royal family, the House of Fabergé also fashioned jewelry and luxuri-ous gifts for many ruling families of Europe, as well as other wealthy patrons. Marvel at exquisite objects produced by the Fabergé workshop at its peak, including personal gifts to the Tsar and Tsarina, an extravagant tiara, the magnificent “Fire Screen”

picture frame, and the famed “Nobel Ice Egg,” one of the few “Imperial-styled” eggs in private hands. From elegantly simple to breathtakingly ornate, the jewelry, clocks, picture frames, boxes and eggs in this collection have been thoughtfully

selected to exemplify extraordinary materials and workmanship.

In recent years, the McFerrin Collection has become one of the world’s most important private collec-tions of Fabergé. While many of the pieces in this collection have been featured individually in other exhibi-tions and publications over the past 60 years, this event marks the first time that the McFerrin Collection has been presented for public display.

hiGhliGhTs OF The eXiBiTiOn incluDe:

EMPRESS JOSEPHINE TIARA Fabergé created this diamond

tiara around 1890. The stunning briolette diamonds were a gift from Tsar Alexander I to the Empress Josephine after her divorce from Napoleon Bonaparte. This piece is one of only a few tiaras ever made by Fabergé.

THE NOBEL ICE EGG Tsar Alexander III commissioned

the first egg ever created by the House of Fabergé in 1885 as an Eas-ter present for his wife, Tsarina Maria Feodorovna. His son Nicholas II later commissioned such treasures for his wife Alexandra and for his mother, continuing a tradition that would last more than 30 years. Fabergé made eggs for only a small number of other clients; one of those was Swedish industrialist Dr. Emanuel Nobel, who commissioned this treasure between

1913 and 1914. This piece, a jew-eled, enameled presentation egg, is also referred to as the “Snowflake Egg,” its shell ingeniously enameled and engraved to simulate the tracery of frost against a misted ground. It opens to reveal a “surprise”—a rock crystal and diamond pendant watch. The unique watch design was cre-ated specifically for Dr. Nobel and interpreted in other jewelry pieces by Fabergé, some of which Dr. Nobel gave as favors at his dinner parties. Several examples of these “ice jew-els” are included in the exhibition.

FIRE SCREEN PICTURE FRAME This intricately decorated picture

frame (made between 1908-1917) of gold, platinum and enamel is meant to be viewed from both sides and is arguably one of the finest examples of gold work ever produced by Fabergé. One side features a pho-tograph of Tsar Nicholas II, and the other his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. This was probably a gift from the Tsar to his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorov-na. The form was most likely inspired by a fire screen, created by George Jacob that was in her apartment.

NICHOLAS II PRESENTATION BOX

The Imperial Russian court was renowned for the lavish gifts pre-sented to foreign dignitaries visiting Russia. Fabergé made hundreds of presentation boxes, but many connoisseurs consider this his fin-est. Made of gold and decorated with enamel and diamonds, the box features the cipher of Tsar Nicholas II on the cover. The Emperor pre-sented the box to Leon Bourgeois, a French politician and statesman in 1902. Bourgeois was one of 90 foreigners to receive a snuffbox with the Emperor’s initials.

THE WEDDING CLOCK Tsar Nicholas II and the Empress

Alexandra Feodorovna jointly pur-chased this enameled clock in 1896 just weeks after they were married. One of the first furnishings they selected for their marital home, the clock has a blue enamel finish sig-nifying true love.

From an apprenticeship in gold-smithing to becoming “Goldsmith to the Imperial Crown,” Carl Fabergé led an extraordinary life creating unparalleled wonders. Learn more about the events that shaped this legendary jeweler’s life – and visit the special exhibition to see his re-markable accomplishments.

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County has again partnered with California Homes Magazine to present the 20th Philharmonic House of Design in the idyllic community of Laguna Beach. Located amidst 40 acres of coastal hills, this extraordinary 11,000 sq. ft. estate showcases panoramic ocean, canyon and city light views from every direc-tion. Contemporary in design, with a hint of craftsman, the house blends effortlessly into its natural setting. Approaching the house from a private road, you encounter a helipad sur-rounded by a circular driveway and multiple garages. The infin-ity pool and numerous terraces surrounding the perimeter create an oasis of privacy available to the fortunate few. As a special bonus this year, the location pro-vides an opportunity to celebrate the renowned artists of Laguna Beach.

The House of Design is an inge-nious collaboration of music and design. More than twenty carefully selected interior designers from Los Angeles and Orange County will transform this home into a stunning

retreat. The 2012 Philharmonic House of Design is available to rent for corporate and private parties for a truly unique experience.

As the primary annual fundraiser for the Philharmonic Society Youth Music Education Programs, the House of Design continues to draw an appreciative crowd. The festive

Premiere Night, April 21, will feature the first showing of the House as well as food, cocktails and entertainment. The House will be open for public tours Tuesday through Sunday, April 24 through May 20 2012. It includes an onsite café and boutique as well as opportunity prizes.
