Tonight is a great example of the desert communities at their finest—many residents, visitors and owners of homes in Palm Springs will be attending The September Concert at the McCallum Theatre this evening. The concert takes place from 7 to 9 pm. Free to all who would like to attend, the event is Coachella Valley’s annual 9-11 Remembrance Concert for those who were affected by the tragedy our country suffered in 2001. It’s an opportunity for those who own Rancho Mirage real estate and homes in the surrounding areas to come together and celebrate the courage and dedication of those who served our country and sacrificed their lives, as well as those who continue to serve.
Please note that while the concert is free, tickets are limited. They will be available on a first come, first served basis starting at 5:30 pm. Visit The McCallum Theatre Box Office for tickets.
On Thursday, September 12 from 6 to 8 pm, a favorite of those who live in the area and own homes in Palm Springs continues— the Classic Comedies Series. The screening at the Annenberg Theater this week is of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein (1974). This classic monster movie is a send up to the 1930s original, Frankenstein, and features brilliant comedic turns from Gene Wilder, who plays the infamous Dr. Frankenstein, as well as Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, and Peter Boyle, whose monster is equally horrific and hilariously funny. The screenplay was co-written by Brooks and Wilder, and tells the tale of Dr. Frankenstein’s straight-laced grandson, who discovers his inheritance to the family estate in Transylvania, of course. When he travels there to claim his ancestral home, he at first resists any link to his grandfather’s work, until he finds his notes and soon falls under the spell of the experiments and colorful characters who work at the estate.
This is just one of the many exciting community events that are always taking place in the desert cities. If this inspires you to consider La Quinta, Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage real estate, click here to view some superb listings.
