Disney's Phineas and Ferb Returns to Long Beach Sept 29 and 30

Disney's Phineas and Ferb cast performs to "Backyard Beach"

Back by popular demand, Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best Live Tour Ever! returns to the Long Beach Terrace Theater (300 E Ocean Blvd) in a high-energy adventurous live stage performance September 29 and 30.

The beloved characters of Disney Channel’s animated series known as Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella, Baljeet, Buford and friends, come to life as they set out to build their largest and most amazing invention ever while Perry, the secret double-agent pet platypus known as Agent P, saves the world from the evil plans of Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

 “The show is part action-adventure and part rock concert,” said Dance Captain Nicole Dalton. “It is unlike any other live stage show because it’s out-of-your seat fun.” Influenced by the artistic and experiential-style of critically-acclaimed dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham and pop-sensation Michael Jackson, Dalton, who is originally from Rochester, N.Y., said the show is very interactive and includes popular songs like “Backyard Beach,” “Busted,” and “Squirrels in My Pants.”

Performances are Saturday, September 29 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday, September 30 at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, $25, $35 and $65. To order tickets by phone call (800) 745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.  For more information visit www.PhineasAndFerbLive.com. 

Autism Author Rebecca Woods Celebrates the Magic of Reading at the 10th Annual Festival of Authors -- 10/6


DUARTE, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 11, 2012) - Autism author, blogger and special needs mom, Rebecca Woods will offer a book signing for her novel, Living Through Charlie, a story of the obstacles faced by a learning-disabled child and his parents inside an elite private school community, Saturday, October 6, 2012 from 10 am to 5 pm at the Westminster Gardens (1420 Santo Domingo, Duarte) during the Friends of Duarte Library's 10th Annual Festival of Authors.
Proceeds from the 10th Annual Festival of Authors will support Duarte Library programs to celebrate the magic of reading.
Living Through Charlie follows Meg Norton as she tries to become an A-list mom and a perfect wife in the Southern California suburb. When Charlie's odd behavior at his posh, private preschool alienates the other kids and their moms, Meg struggles with her husband's desire for the perfect family and her son's needs. "As moms we have a tendency to over-relate to our kids' experiences and take them on as our own," Woods says. "Whether parenting a special needs child or not, my readers totally identify with Meg's struggles."
Woods is available for comment on private school education and her experiences as a mother of a child with Asperger's Syndrome. Contact Annie Rivera at (714) 353-0832 or annienrivera@gmail.com.
