Honk Reunites for Coast Film & Music Festival’s 50th Anniversary Celebration of Five Summer Stories
11.07.22
Coast Film & Music Festival (CFMF) and MacGillivray Freeman Films (MFF) are thrilled to announce that there’ll be a special 50th Anniversary screening of the heralded surf film Five Summer Stories at the Festival of the Arts in Laguna Beach on the evening of Sunday, November 13. And, during select scenes of the movie – shown on a giant LED screen – Honk will play several of the original songs featured on the movie’s soundtrack.
During Sunday’s evening program, Honk band members Steve Wood, Tris Imboden, Beth Fitchet Wood, Richard Stekol and Craig Buhler, and filmmaker Greg MacGillivray, will share stories about making the film’s hit soundtrack and its impact on a generation of young surfers.
The former editor of Surfer magazine Sam George will moderate the conversation. Immediately following, Greg MacGillivray will sign copies of his new visual memoir, Five Hundred Summer Stories, which will be released to the public on November 15th. Legendary surfers Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez, Jericho Poppler, and Herbie Fletcher are just a few of the celebrity attendees coming to show their support.
Says director Greg MacGillivray: “With Five Summer Stories, Jim and I sought to make a state-of-the-art surf film that would reflect the broader cultural shifts happening in the late 60s and early 70s when youth culture was experimenting in so many creative ways and surfing was going through its own pivotal transition. The film really took the surfing world by storm, and the music by Honk and the Beach Boys was critical to the film’s overall success.”
Five Summer Stories with Honk begins at 8 p.m. and is one of three films shown that evening starting at 6 p.m. Tickets for Sunday’s event start at $35.
(NOTE: Five Summer Stories will also be shown on Wednesday evening at CFMF’s Hobie Surf Shop kick-off event.)
The Festival of Arts is at 650 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach.

Can-Can Canned Food Drive Throughout Run of Moulin Rouge! The Musical
11.07.22
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is thrilled to help the Orange County Food Bank fully stock its shelves with canned food goods for those in need. Throughout the run of Moulin Rouge! The Musical from Nov. 9 until Nov. 27, 2022,
all patrons are encouraged to donate canned goods to help the nearly twenty percent of children in Orange County living in “food insecure” households.
While putting Moulin Rouge! The Musical’s four values of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Love into practice, Segerstrom Center is excited to involve the community in one harmonious effort to cultivate compassion and reduce food insecurity throughout the county.
Along with the public, Center staff will exercise the musical’s core values and contribute to the food drive by having an internal contest to see which department can collect the most canned goods. In August, during the Hadestown run, over 2,000 pounds of canned food were collected. The Center accepts the challenge and is determined to beat that number and spread Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Love throughout the community!
Donation bins will be on-site provided by the OC Food Bank throughout the main lobby of Segerstrom Hall.
Tickets are available for purchase online at www.SCFTA.org or at the Box Office, located at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa, or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings of 10 or more, please call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236.
