The courtyard at Rancho Los Cerritos will be transformed into an outdoor playhouse Saturday for the first performance in its new living history theater series.
Will Rogers and John Muir — two extraordinary men who blazed the trail for today’s way of life — will leap out of the pages of history books and come to life. For the first half of the show, actor Chuck Kovacic will embody America’s most popular humorist, Will Rogers. Rogers’ illustrious career included both Cactus Jack’s Wild West Show and the Ziegfeld Follies. Next, actor and conservationist Michael Oates will dive into the life of John Muir, the naturalist, author and environmental philosopher behind the preservation of Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and more.
