Yurman art to promote research

Jewelry designer David Yurman will host a fund-raising event at

Diane DeBilzan Gallery on Oct. 25 and 26 with a cocktail party from 6

to 8 p.m. Oct. 25.

Longi will donate a percentage of sales during the exhibit to benefit

the research initiative group.

The exhibit will travel across the United States, before its final

Nov. 13 destination in New York City.

21 to DeBilzan at (949) 494-5757.

No Square looking for top dogs

No Square Theatre will hold “dogditions” for the role of Sandy in

its upcoming performance of “Annie Warbucks.”

For the few who don’t know, Sandy is the scruffy sidekick that

Annie finds wandering the streets of New York in the original

Broadway musical “Annie.” “Annie Warbucks” is the sequel to this

story.

Here are a few of the requirements for the canine co-star:

Sandy should be reasonably well-behaved (no unrehearsed jumping

off the stage, no attacking the stage manager, no mistaking a piece

of the set for a tree, etc.) basic obedience would be nice.

Sandy should be cute, cuddly and full of character.

Sandy needs to be medium-sized.

And sandy coloring would be a definite plus.

If these attributes sound familiar, bring your pooch to Square One

Rehearsal Studio at 221 Broadway at 2 p.m. on Oct. 5.

“Annie Warbucks” will be performed on Nov. 21, 22, 23 at the Forum

Theatre on the Festival of Arts grounds and Dec. 17, 18 at the

Clubhouse 3 Auditorium in Laguna Woods. Some limited rehearsals will

be necessary for both dog and master. For more information, please

call No Square Theatre at (949) 497-1950.
