LANCASTER, Calif.—The Antelope Valley is swarming with talented women, from those in education to those in power positions like the president of Greek letter organization, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., Antelope Valley chapter.

LaTonya T. Nelson, born and raised in Los Angeles, has been with the organization since 1988, when she joined while attending California State University, Long Beach. Attracted to the organization’s commitment to community, social awareness and sisterhood, Nelson had to be part of the movement.

LANCASTER, Calif—Actor and standup comedian Sinbad will return to the Lancaster Performing Arts Center on Thurs., April 21, at 8 p.m.

Sinbad, whose last Comedy Central special beat out the specials of Larry the Cable Guy and Jim Gaffigan, will also soon be starring in his own TV show, “Sinbad’s Family Affair,” for the WE Network, which will begin airing in April.

Sinbad is a legendary comedian who stalks the stage, telling side-splitting real-life stories and slam-dunking their payoff lines.
