A Beverly Hills GPS-guided Walking Tour - The Heart of Hollywood Style:
Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment. On this West Hollywood walking tour, you’ll stroll the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that sits between Beverly Hills polish and Hollywood grit — and discover the stories that made it iconic.
We kick things off where Old Hollywood royalty like Judy Garland and Orson Welles once fueled up on burgers and milkshakes. We wrap near Laurel Canyon, the cradle of the 60s and 70s folk‑rock revolution. In between, you’ll pass filming locations from Get Shorty, Scarface, and Annie Hall, plus the very spots where some of the industry’s wildest nights and biggest breakthroughs happened.
Along the way, you’ll step into stories like:
- Marilyn Monroe’s first blind date with Joe DiMaggi…

Set at a Silicon Valley aerospace company, HR executive Val investigates a potential staffing issue amongst the lead engineers, suspecting sexism. She instead encounters simmering tensions of ancient origins amongst the company’s Indian immigrant employees bubbling over and threatening to derail the company’s upcoming rocket launch.

Moving Arts Theatre presents In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars by Stephen Dierkes, directed by Jeff Liu. Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters. Despite its big ideas, the play is personal and emotional, featuring four actors playing different (but thematically related) characters through the centuries, all in an intimate space ideal for the Moving Arts stage in Atwater Village.
Written by Stephen Dierkes, Directed by Jeff Liu, In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars stars Jonathan Cheung, Elaine Kao, Wayne Lee and…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment. On this West Hollywood walking tour, you’ll stroll the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that sits between Beverly Hills polish and Hollywood grit — and discover the stories that made it iconic.
We kick things off where Old Hollywood royalty like Judy Garland and Orson Welles once fueled up on burgers and milkshakes. We wrap near Laurel Canyon, the cradle of the 60s and 70s folk‑rock revolution. In between, you’ll pass filming locations from Get Shorty, Scarface, and Annie Hall, plus the very spots where some of the industry’s wildest nights and biggest breakthroughs happened.
Along the way, you’ll step into stories like:
- Marilyn Monroe’s first blind date with Joe DiMaggi…

“Convergence: Contemporary Artists of Armenian Descent” will be on view at Forest Lawn Museum from March 21-August 9, 2026. From bold experiments in abstraction to thought-provoking conceptual installations, “Convergence” features the work of more than twenty artists of Armenian descent who push the boundaries of traditional mediums and challenge conventions with their daring visions. Rather than attempt to cover the entire spectrum of Armenian narratives, the exhibition's cohesive element is the heritage of the featured artists. With diverse backgrounds—ranging from those born in the United States to immigrants from various regions—these artists contribute a kaleidoscope of individual perspectives that bring the Armenian experience into focus.
“Convergence" is curated by artists Alina Mnatsakanian and Kaloust Guedel, in collaboration with James Fishburne, Director of Forest Lawn Museum.

Munchkins and flying monkeys.

Set at a Silicon Valley aerospace company, HR executive Val investigates a potential staffing issue amongst the lead engineers, suspecting sexism. She instead encounters simmering tensions of ancient origins amongst the company’s Indian immigrant employees bubbling over and threatening to derail the company’s upcoming rocket launch. Center Theatre Group’s Brindell & Milton Gottlieb Director Snehal Desai directs this gripping investigation of identity and desire, which features Megan Suri (Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever”), Kapil Talwalkar (Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs,” NBC’s “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” NBC’s “Night Court”), Kunal Dudheker (20th Century Studios’ “…

Wildly funny, sharply satirical and packed with playful circus acts (a different guest performer every week), The Great Clown Bank Show skewers capitalist America with razor-toothed humor, exposing a world where wealth is the greatest magic trick of all — and everyone outside the ring is paying for it.

Moving Arts Theatre presents In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars by Stephen Dierkes, directed by Jeff Liu. Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters. Despite its big ideas, the play is personal and emotional, featuring four actors playing different (but thematically related) characters through the centuries, all in an intimate space ideal for the Moving Arts stage in Atwater Village.
Written by Stephen Dierkes, Directed by Jeff Liu, In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars stars Jonathan Cheung, Elaine Kao, Wayne Lee and…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

A Beverly Hills GPS-guided Walking Tour - The Heart of Hollywood Style:
Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment.

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley kicks off Season 56 with the World Premiere of “The Employee Dharma Handbook” by Geetha Reddy (“Safe House,” “Mahābhārata”). A bold, funny, and enlightening new work, this scintillating premiere was a favorite at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley’s 2025 New Works Festival and is a recipient of TheatreWorks’ Kurjan/Butler commission. Set at a Silicon Valley aerospace company, HR executive Val investigates a potential staffing issue amongst the lead engineers, suspecting sexism. She instead encounters simmering tensions of ancient origins amongst the company’s Indian immigrant employees bubbling over and threatening to derail the company’s upcoming rocket launch. Center Theatre Group’s Brindell & Milton Gottlieb Director Snehal Desai directs this gripping investigation of identity and desire, which features Megan Suri (Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever”), Kapil Talwalkar (Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs,” NBC’s “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” NBC’s “Night Court”), Kunal Dudheker (20th Century Studios’ “…

A Few Thoughts Theater Company launches their Inaugural Production. The Russia-Ukraine War has been going on since 2014, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion in 2022. Roughly ten million Ukrainians have been forced from their homes. All with remarkably little accomplished on either side.
This is the story of three soldiers, two Ukrainian and one Russian, trapped in the bombed-out Azovstal Iron and Steel Works plant in Mariupol, Ukraine days before the siege ended. All coincidentally are lovers of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. All are desperately trying to survive. All trying to find some meaning for their actions, and the actions of their countries. Vitaliy, the younger Ukrainian soldier, is convinced that Elon Musk will come to save them.

Moving Arts Theatre presents In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars by Stephen Dierkes, directed by Jeff Liu. Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters. Despite its big ideas, the play is personal and emotional, featuring four actors playing different (but thematically related) characters through the centuries, all in an intimate space ideal for the Moving Arts stage in Atwater Village.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity.

Moving Arts Theatre presents In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars by Stephen Dierkes, directed by Jeff Liu. Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters. Despite its big ideas, the play is personal and emotional, featuring four actors playing different (but thematically related) characters through the centuries, all in an intimate space ideal for the Moving Arts stage in Atwater Village.
Written by Stephen Dierkes, Directed by Jeff Liu, In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars stars Jonathan Cheung, Elaine Kao, Wayne Lee and…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment. On this West Hollywood walking tour, you’ll stroll the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that sits between Beverly Hills polish and Hollywood grit — and discover the stories that made it iconic.
We kick things off where Old Hollywood royalty like Judy Garland and Orson Welles once fueled up on burgers and milkshakes. We wrap near Laurel Canyon, the cradle of the 60s and 70s folk‑rock revolution. In between, you’ll pass filming locations from Get Shorty, Scarface, and Annie Hall, plus the very spots where some of the industry’s wildest nights and biggest breakthroughs happened.
Along the way, you’ll step into stories like:

“Convergence: Contemporary Artists of Armenian Descent” will be on view at Forest Lawn Museum from March 21-August 9, 2026. From bold experiments in abstraction to thought-provoking conceptual installations, “Convergence” features the work of more than twenty artists of Armenian descent who push the boundaries of traditional mediums and challenge conventions with their daring visions.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.
The Last Hat is directed by Megan Ripchik, produced by Erica Tenaglia. Proceeds support the Santa Monica Playhouse Save the Mai…

A Beverly Hills GPS-guided Walking Tour - The Heart of Hollywood Style:
Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment. On this West Hollywood walking tour, you’ll stroll the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that sits between Beverly Hills polish and Hollywood grit — and discover the stories that made it iconic.
We kick things off where Old Hollywood royalty like Judy Garland and Orson Welles once fueled up on burgers and milkshakes. We wrap near Laurel Canyon, the cradle of the 60s and 70s folk‑rock revolution. In between, you’ll pass filming locations from Get Shorty, Scarface, and Annie Hall, plus the very spots where some of the industry’s wildest nights and biggest breakthroughs happened.
Along the way, you’ll step into stories like:

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment. On this West Hollywood walking tour, you’ll stroll the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that sits between Beverly Hills polish and Hollywood grit — and discover the stories that made it iconic.
We kick things off where Old Hollywood royalty like Judy Garland and Orson Welles once fueled up on burgers and milkshakes. We wrap near Laurel Canyon, the cradle of the 60s and 70s folk‑rock revolution. In between, you’ll pass filming locations from Get Shorty, Scarface, and Annie Hall, plus the very spots where some of the industry’s wildest nights and biggest breakthroughs happened.
Along the way, you’ll step into stories like:

Moving Arts Theatre presents In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars by Stephen Dierkes, directed by Jeff Liu. Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters. Despite its big ideas, the play is personal and emotional, featuring four actors playing different (but thematically related) characters through the centuries, all in an intimate space ideal for the Moving Arts stage in Atwater Village.
Written by Stephen Dierkes, Directed by Jeff Liu, In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars stars Jonathan Cheung, Elaine Kao, Wayne Lee and…

Today, Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury, fame, and the kind of glamour that draws visitors from around the world. But this glittering enclave didn’t start out that way. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll uncover how a stretch of barren desert and humble lima bean fields transformed into the global symbol of celebrity lifestyle we know today.
We begin at the beloved Beverly Hills sign in the Garden Park, where you’ll hear the city’s unexpected origin story — one that starts not with movie stars, but with railroads. From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive. Once a simple bridle path where horses had the right of way, it’s now a world-famous fashion runway lined with couture boutiques and the celebrated Walk of Style, where bronze plaques honor the designers who shaped the industry.
As we wander through these storied streets, you’ll hear the tales behind iconic landmarks, architectural marvels, and the celebrity hideaways that helped define Beverly Hills’ mysti…

The Sunset Strip is where legends misbehaved, music was born, and Hollywood came out to play! The Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity. In less than 100 years, this once‑dusty road in an unincorporated town transformed into the beating heart of modern entertainment. On this West Hollywood walking tour, you’ll stroll the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that sits between Beverly Hills polish and Hollywood grit — and discover the stories that made it iconic.
We kick things off where Old Hollywood royalty like Judy Garland and Orson Welles once fueled up on burgers and milkshakes. We wrap near Laurel Canyon, the cradle of the 60s and 70s folk‑rock revolution. In between, you’ll pass filming locations from Get Shorty, Scarface, and Annie Hall, plus the very spots where some of the industry’s wildest nights and biggest breakthroughs happened.
Along the way, you’ll step into stories like:

Moving Arts Theatre presents In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars by Stephen Dierkes, directed by Jeff Liu. Ninety feet underground, an emperor is laid to rest. A revolution tries to erase his memory. A son rejects everything his father stands for. In the Tomb of Ten Thousand Calendars asks whether there's something between venerating history and burying it.
The play provides parallels to today’s America: our fights over history, the destruction of statues and monuments, the overthrow of expertise, and our destructive polarization. In the fractured mirror of a different time and place, we see bits of ourselves even in opposing characters. Despite its big ideas, the play is personal and emotional, featuring four actors playing different (but thematically related) characters through the centuries, all in an intimate space ideal for the Moving Arts stage in Atwater Village.

A Few Thoughts Theater Company launches their Inaugural Production. The Russia-Ukraine War has been going on since 2014, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion in 2022. Roughly ten million Ukrainians have been forced from their homes. All with remarkably little accomplished on either side.
This is the story of three soldiers, two Ukrainian and one Russian, trapped in the bombed-out Azovstal Iron and Steel Works plant in Mariupol, Ukraine days before the siege ended. All coincidentally are lovers of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. All are desperately trying to survive. All trying to find some meaning for their actions, and the actions of their countries. Vitaliy, the younger Ukrainian soldier, is convinced that Elon Musk will come to save them.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.
