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…

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…

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.

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 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…

Edgar Arceneaux and Frank Lawson, Place Is The Space
Place Is the Space is a four-hour immersive performance experience combining live jazz improvisation, theatrical storytelling and multimedia design inspired by Sun Ra’s philosophy and his film Space Is the Place. The work functions as both a concert and an experiential ritual where musicians, performers, visual elements and audience members collectively shape the space into a place. Metaphorically building the vehicle that Sun Ra aspired towards, expressing Afrofuturistic themes of transcendence, liberation and joy.
This cosmic jam session culminates in the audience crowning a "New Sun Ra," who leads the full audience on a pilgrimage to the Hammer Museum for one final performance, where everyone is invited to play along.
Presented in conjunction with the Hammer Museum’s current exhibition SPACE IS THE PLACE, which frames “space” as a conceptual framework inspired by the works and views of experimental jazz artist Sun Ra. Arceneaux’s contribution also marks his second collaboration with CAP UCLA, after 2024’…

When a doctor discovers his town’s hot springs are contaminated, his attempt to expose the truth pits him against powerful interests—and transforms him into an “enemy of the people.” Ripping Ibsen’s classic out of the 19th century, DeLorenzo relocates the action to America in 2026, where battles over public health, economic survival, misinformation and political polarization have become defining features of American life.

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…

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.

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.

Power. Music. Survival. Legacy. Continuing its long-term commitment to the work of August Wilson, A Noise Within presents Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, the seventh of the 10 plays in Wilson's landmark American Century Cycle to be produced by the company. Set during a single, sweltering afternoon in 1927, “Mother of the Blues” Ma Rainey fights to retain control of her music even as her ambitious trumpeter, Levee, reaches for opportunity in a world determined to hold him back. Against a backdrop of racism and inequity, Wilson’s searing drama illuminates the struggle to claim dignity, voice and self-worth.

Odyssey Theatre Ensemble presents director Bart DeLorenzo’s contemporary adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Enemy of the People. When a doctor discovers his town’s hot springs are contaminated, his attempt to expose the truth pits him against powerful interests—and transforms him into an “enemy of the people.” Ripping Ibsen’s classic out of the 19th century, DeLorenzo relocates the action to America in 2026, where battles over public health, economic survival, misinformation and political polarization have become defining features of American life.

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…

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.
The Last Hat is directed by Megan Ripchik, produced by Erica Tenaglia. Proceeds support the Santa Monica Playhouse Save the Mai…

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.

Passive complicity has never been so much fun. This fiery new take on Frisch’s post WWII classic, The Arsonists, comes to the Skylight Theatre from an award-wining creative team led by Luke Harlan (The Gilded Age), Andrew Hawkins (Old Show Queens), and Jeff Marx (Tony Award, Avenue Q, music/lyrics). Promising a compelling blend of theatrical virtuosity and wit, this headline-relevant commentary shines with our “in the moment” nightmares on contemporary denial and political apathy.
Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermanns' home. Then a stranger appears at the front door. Everyone sees it coming—no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus. The Arsonists is an absurdly funny and quietly chilling modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good.

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…

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living: With Home Care's Free Webinar
Struggling to decide whether staying at home or moving to a facility is best for your loved one?
Join us on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM for a free online webinar examining how in-home care compares with assisted living for Orange County families. For many families, care delivered right at home preserves daily routines and deep personal connections in ways a facility cannot match. This conversation will help you weigh lifestyle preferences, household safety, and financial factors so you can make an informed choice.
What This Session Covers
- How in-home care and assisted living differ in daily support and setting
- The benefits of remaining at home when routines and familiar surroundings matter
- Cost, scheduling, family involvement, and flexibility questions to compare
- Signs that a home-based plan may need more support or reassessment
Attendees will leave with a more balanced framework for discussing care options and deciding what information to gather before making a move or arranging help…

Passive complicity has never been so much fun. This fiery new take on Frisch’s post WWII classic, The Arsonists, comes to the Skylight Theatre from an award-wining creative team led by Luke Harlan (The Gilded Age), Andrew Hawkins (Old Show Queens), and Jeff Marx (Tony Award, Avenue Q, music/lyrics). Promising a compelling blend of theatrical virtuosity and wit, this headline-relevant commentary shines with our “in the moment” nightmares on contemporary denial and political apathy.
Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermanns' home. Then a stranger appears at the front door. Everyone sees it coming—no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus. The Arsonists is an absurdly funny and quietly chilling modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good.

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…

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…

Passive complicity has never been so much fun. This fiery new take on Frisch’s post WWII classic, The Arsonists, comes to the Skylight Theatre from an award-wining creative team led by Luke Harlan (The Gilded Age), Andrew Hawkins (Old Show Queens), and Jeff Marx (Tony Award, Avenue Q, music/lyrics). Promising a compelling blend of theatrical virtuosity and wit, this headline-relevant commentary shines with our “in the moment” nightmares on contemporary denial and political apathy.
Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermanns' home. Then a stranger appears at the front door. Everyone sees it coming—no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus. The Arsonists is an absurdly funny and quietly chilling modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good.

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…

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:

Written by Samuel D. Hunter and directed by John Perrin Flynn, this Los Angeles premiere examines the unique isolation experienced by two people carrying a weight of loneliness and financial insecurity.
In a small office where lives are measured in credit scores, two strangers find themselves returning to the same conversation. Keith, a mortgage broker raising his daughter alone, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker determined to reclaim a piece of his family's lost land, meet as client and lender. What unfolds instead is an unexpected connection between two fathers navigating uncertainty, responsibility, and the quiet weight of unrealized dreams. With wit, compassion, and emotional precision, this story touches an extraordinary humanity hidden within ordinary lives.

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…

Passive complicity has never been so much fun. This fiery new take on Frisch’s post WWII classic, The Arsonists, comes to the Skylight Theatre from an award-wining creative team led by Luke Harlan (The Gilded Age), Andrew Hawkins (Old Show Queens), and Jeff Marx (Tony Award, Avenue Q, music/lyrics). Promising a compelling blend of theatrical virtuosity and wit, this headline-relevant commentary shines with our “in the moment” nightmares on contemporary denial and political apathy.
Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermanns' home. Then a stranger appears at the front door. Everyone sees it coming—no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus. The Arsonists is an absurdly funny and quietly chilling modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good.

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…
