Boston Court Pasadena opens their 20th anniversary theatre season with Unrivaled by Rosie Narasaki, a world premiere co-production with Playwrights’ Arena, directed by Boston Court’s Associate Artistic Director Margaret Shigeko Starbuck, through April 23. This production is Starbuck’s Main Stage directorial debut, and features an all-AAPI cast, AAPI playwright, and a primarily AAPI creative team. Unrivaled features Katie Kitani (Murasaki Shikibu), Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz (Sei Shonagon), Cindy Nguyen (Empress Teishi), and David Huynh (Michinaga).
Unrivaled is a fictional account of two of Japan’s most beloved female writers, 11th-century ladies-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon. This ultimate frenemy tale explores the complicated relationship between two women who simultaneously respect and resent each other’s talent. This hilarious and poignant world premiere is about friendship, heartbreak, and what it means to be a female artist. Perhaps most of all, it’s about no matter how much things change, the more they stay the same.
Single tickets range from $22 - $47 and are available now. Visit BostonCourtPasadena.org or call 626.683.6801 to become a member or purchase single tickets.

With the return to in-person work in full swing, many employees are mourning the loss of the freedom and flexibility provided by work-from-home policies implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many California employers are interested in improving their employees’ job satisfaction, which in turn, can help with talent retention and improve productivity. One option for employers is to implement an alternative work schedule (“AWS”).
An AWS provides a mechanism for employees to work longer hours, but on fewer days, thereby freeing up time for employees to attend to personal business on a weekday and in some cases, better serving the business needs of employers. An AWS, if implemented properly, allows employers to avoid paying overtime wages they would otherwise be required to pay to employees who work more than 8 hours in a single workday. While employers can always provide their employees with more time off, an AWS allows employees flexibility while retaining the 40-hour workweek.
If implementing an alternative work schedule sounds right for your business, now is the perfect time to contact the attorneys at
Freeburg & Granieri, APC. Our attorneys can help you decide the correct type of alternative work schedule for your business and navigate the procedural requirements for its implementation. Please contact the attorneys at Freeburg & Granieri, APC today to find out how we can help you with all of your employment law needs. Visit our website at
fgfirm.law or call (626)486-9082 for more information.

Here two helpful PDF's, both of which we'd love to share. If only one can be shared, we prefer the HydroJetting flier, as that's more to the point of what we offer.

Building on ongoing efforts to aid workers and employers as California reopens, the Employment Development Department (EDD) announced actions to strengthen the state's Work Sharing program--a growing and innovative unemployment insurance program that helps employers bring furloughed or laid off employees back to work with subsidized pay. The Work Sharing program allows workers to collect both their pay for hours worked and unemployment benefits for reduced hours--including the federally-funded boost of $300 in weekly benefits. The program is fully funded by the federal government until September 4, 2021, when federal unemployment benefit programs are scheduled to expire.
