Join OC Bruins for a team-based scavenger hunt through this iconic historic district in search of remarkable details hiding in plain sight. Teams will solve clues, complete photo missions, uncover hidden landmarks, and discover fun facts as they make their way through one of SoCal's most distinctive downtowns. The final destination will be revealed through the last clue. Attending solo? Prepare to make some new friends. Teams will be formed at the start, creating a great opportunity to meet fellow Bruins while exploring. No special knowledge is required. Just bring comfortable shoes, curiosity, and a willingness to work together. Teams are encouraged to move at a friendly pace, respect local businesses and residents, and make sure everyone has a chance to participate. The scavenger hunt begins at 9:30 AM at the fountain in Plaza Park (the Orange Circle). Specific clues and challenges will be revealed on event day. Difficulty: Easy to Moderate. Expect approximately 1 to 1.5 miles of walking on mostly flat sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly streets. Free parking is available, more details to come with confirmation email. Participants are welcome to attend only the scavenger hunt or make a fuller morning of it with optional coffee, brunch, and a visit to the Hilbert Museum. Need to fuel up before the hunt? You can meet us at Caffe In Coffee by 9:00 AM, before the official 9:30 AM start at the Circle. Coffee is optional, but highly compatible with clue-solving. Questions? Contact Eden Tsai at east.of.eden@alumni.ucla.edu.

In person: Q&A with actor Kathryn Leigh Scott and historian Jim Pierson, editor of Dark Shadows Noir: Classic Black and White Photography From the Dan Curtis Productions Archive. Book signing with Pierson before the screening. Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment. Premiering on June 27, 1966, on ABC-TV, Dark Shadows (1966–71) represented an outré experiment in daytime television that became an unexpected breakout hit and evergreen cult classic. Created by horror-maestro Dan Curtis (The Night Stalker, Trilogy of Terror), the innovative soap opera, which initially struggled in the ratings, expanded greatly in popularity in its second year with the addition of a 175-year-old charismatic vampire character named Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid). As the eerily atmospheric series evolved to fuse gothic supernatural elements and romance into complex storylines, it developed a passionate youth following and became a pop culture phenomenon. In the process, the videotaped series earned the distinction of being the first soap to spawn a theatrical motion picture spin-off, House of Dark Shadows (1970), and several additional feature films and reboots. The beloved original series ran for over 1,200 episodes before its abrupt cancellation in 1971. In the ensuing decades, the aura surrounding Dark Shadows has only intensified, with the influential program enjoying nearly constant reruns in syndication, luring an influx of new viewers into the mysterious, shadow-drenched world of the wealthy Collins family of fictional Collinsport, Maine. Join us for a celebration of Dark Shadows, exactly 60 years to the day of its premiere, including the debut episode and rare archival footage. Before the screening, historian Jim Pierson will sign copies of Dark Shadows Noir: Classic Black and White Photography from the Dan Curtis Productions Archive. Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Dark Shadows star, actor David Selby, and Jim Pierson. Programmed and note written by John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley.

In person: director Karen Arthur; editor Carol Littleton; Paula Chambers, daughter of screenwriter and actor Joan Hotchkis; composer Roger Kellaway. Guest speaker Legacy is the story of Bissie Hapgood, a woman unraveling under the pressures of a vapid and materialistic society consumed with dinner-plate settings, soap operas and sexual frustration. The material originated as a one-woman show in 1973, written and performed by Joan Hotchkis, a versatile talent celebrated for her roles on television series including The Odd Couple and The Life and Times of Eddie Roberts. Karen Arthur, a first-time filmmaker, saw Hotchkis on stage and convinced the actor to adapt the screenplay and star in the film. Independently produced and financed, Legacy, like its peers Wanda (1970) and A Woman Under the Influence (1974), confounds 1970s Hollywood’s expectations with the introduction of a new kind of cinematic woman. Bissie stuns audiences with her honesty that is confrontational, yet heartfelt and a vulnerability that is never sentimental and always surprising. Legacy features an exceptional crew at the start of what would become a set of accomplished careers. Arthur, who would go on to direct The Mafu Cage (1978) and become a prolific television director, winning an Emmy Award for Cagney & Lacey, collaborated with cinematographer John Bailey (Ordinary People, 1980, In the Line of Fire, 1993) and editor Carol Littleton (E.T., 1982, The Manchurian Candidate, 2004).
