Self-publishing and book marketing company

ReadersMagnet opens its book event season with the Book Confab Beverly Hills. The event, which is the company’s fifth book confab overall, will take place on April 17-18, 2024, at 276 La Cienega Blvd, Beverly Hills. After staging successful book confabs in Tribeca, San Francisco, San Diego, and Manhattan, ReadersMagnet looks forward to duplicating its feat in the glamorous Beverly Hills, home to many of the world’s famous personalities and biggest brands. The city, which is one of Los Angeles County’s famous districts, has a vibrant literary scene abundant in literary organizations, writing workshops and competitions, storytelling events, poetry events, and book launches. ReadersMagnet aims to contribute to the city’s literary culture by holding the Book Confab Beverly Hills, which promises to be a bigger, grander, and more festive event celebrating literature and community. The spotlight of the event will fall on the authors who are some of the boldest, brightest, and most talented writers the world has yet to know. During their respective BookTok sessions, authors will share not only their art of writing and storytelling but also the stories behind their stories, giving readers a behind-the-scene look into their writing and publishing journey. They will invite the attendees to journey with them in their story-building process and share their trials and joys of publishing. Authors will challenge their audience to examine their beliefs, explore different perspectives, and live out the books they have read. The Book Confab Beverly Hills will take place just a few days and kilometers away from the L.A. Times Festival of Books on April 20-21 in Los Angeles. Indeed, ReadersMagnet’s fifth book confab will serve as a literary appetizer for authors and booklovers who will be attending the country’s largest book festival. The company aims to offer attendees an to alternative to the crowds and noise of large literary festivals with an interactive and intimate setting that offers readers a chance for book discussions with authors – an experience that is at the root of how readers experience books and how ReadersMagnet do book events. Hear incredible storytellers share the stories behind their stories – and be part of the story. ReadersMagnet invites everyone to the Book Confab Beverly Hills.

THREE SISTERS
7:30pm-12:00am, Moss Performing Arts Center Mesa Experimental Theatre
By Anton Chekhov April 18-21 and 24-27 Rated
more...0
PG-13 (mature themes) Three Sisters chronicles three and a half years in the lives of a middle class family in late 19th century Russia, weary of their small town surroundings and yearning for more excitement. Written by Anton Chekhov, this classic work exemplifies the naturalistic form of writing that challenged the melodramatic conventions of the time. With themes of love, social aspirations and unfulfilled longing, Three Sisters is a masterpiece of theatre.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS

The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon

in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken and wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad. Friday, April 19 at 7 pm Saturday, April 20 at 2 and 7 pm Sunday, April 21 at 2 pm Tickets: $20 adult and $15 senior/student (available in advance at TAC or at the door - box office opens 1 hour prior to each performance) For more information on any show visit www.TheatreProjectGJ.com or call 970-260-7706 The Theatre Project Producing high-quality live community theatre in Grand Junction. Offering performance opportunities for adults and children, regardless of experience level. www.theatreprojectgj.com

Play Records is set to host Record Store Day 2024 starting at 10am on April 20 with hundreds of limited, one-of-a-kind independent record store exclusives ONLY available at your local record store. These releases are available for the first time only on Saturday April 20th, worldwide. Customers who come early will receive limited edition Record Store Day promotional merch with purchase while supplies last. John Tonic from Tonic Selects Sound-System will be spinning records all morning and early afternoon. Rhyan Montgomery, our artist for this year’s RSD 2024 poster, will be in attendance signing limited edition prints of the poster as well as tote bags and t-shirts. Giselle Genova, our window artist, will also be on attendance with her limited edition ‘Wild For You’ t-Shirts. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of both items will benefit the artists directly. Noah, the lead sales associate from The Happy Camper, will be set up from 11am to 2pm with coupons for use at their Palisade location. Pronto Bronto, a local food truck, will offer breakfast and lunch throughout the day, 9 A.M. to about 2 P.M. Underdog Cheese, another local food truck, will be pulling in at about 2 P.M. and stay until the evening. In addition, Corb Lund, a Canadian country and western sing-songwriter from Taber, Alberta, who will be playing at Warehouse 265 later that night, is performing an in-store at 4:30pm with a chance for signatures and meeting after. “Short of closing down the street for the day in the future, this year is going to be one of the biggest parties ever for Record Store Day in Grand Junction,” said Rock Cesario, owner of Triple Play Records. Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today, Record Store Day is celebrated at independently owned brick-and-mortar record stores around the world. For more information please contact Matthew P. Cesario, General Manager of Triple Play Records, at 970 261 5167 matt@tripleplayrecords.com OR go to our Facebook event for this years poster and more info as well!!
