    King Kong

    Maverick Theater, 110 E Walnut Ave, Fullerton
    See details

    The Maverick Theater teams up with Staged Cinema Productions to bring back a playful, imaginative stage take on the 1933 film icon. Guided by writer and director Brian Newell, whose past Maverick favorites include Night of the Living Dead, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, and Plan 9 From Outer Space, this version trades a straightforward retelling for a witty homage that celebrates the breakthrough effects that made the original a milestone. Drawing inspiration from Willis O’Brien’s pioneering methods, the production blends live performance with in-the-moment filmmaking. A behind-the-scenes crew captures Kong on miniature sets, mixes the images with green screen shots of the cast, and projects the composite across a wide rear screen so the actors perform in front of a continuously changing environment. The approach places audiences within Skull Island and a bustling New York setting. It is crafted for longtime fans and for anyone interested in seeing ambitious theatrical techniques happen live.

    The Kellogg House Ghost Tour

    Heritage Museum of Orange County, 3001 W Harvard St, Santa Ana · verified Aug 7
    See details

    Explore the storied Kellogg House at the Heritage Museum of Orange County on a ghost tour that blends local history with lingering mystery. Built in 1898 by Hiram Clay Kellogg, this Neoclassical Victorian residence was among the earliest of its style in Orange County. After the death of his first wife, he constructed the mansion for his second wife, Helen. Inspired by a passion for tall ships, he designed a three level spiral staircase that circles a central mast and rises to a crow’s nest without a floor. Hiram passed away in 1921, and Helen remained in the home for another 42 years, ultimately passing away there. Accounts of unexplained activity suggest the Kellogg family may still linger within the mansion’s distinctive architecture, setting the scene for a tour filled with history and hushed whispers.
