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:

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’ “…

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:
- 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.

Drawing on both Eastern and Western traditions, Zhang’s practice moves toward a more open visual language, revealing abstraction’s capacity to communicate through gesture, atmosphere, and emotion.
Through vibration and resonance, this sound bath will offer a contemplative encounter with the exhibition, extending the subtle rhythms and intangible qualities within Zhang’s paintings into a sensory experience. The session will invite participants to slow their attention and engage with the relationship between material, memory, and perception.
We ask that guests bring their own yoga mat, blanket, and pillow for their comfort during the experience. Eye masks are optional. A limited number of seat cushions will be available for those unable to bring a mat.

that visitors can travel through to reach the Emerald City and
beyond. Forests and gardens are featured, all aglow with millions of
LED lights. The journey also involves meeting the various characters
and creatures that inhabit each world. From the travelers we all know
from the stories of Oz—Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and
the Cowardly Lion to the witches both good and wicked—to
Munchkins and flying monkeys.
Integrated throughout the event are new and creative immersive and
interactive activities that allow guests to be part of the action—triggering
elements of the experience such as creating sounds and lights, testing

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’ “…

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…

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…

On July 20, Fool in the Pool returns as part of its four-performance residency, transforming the legendary venue into an immersive karaoke play where the audience isn't just watching—they're part of the night.
Written by and starring Edward Kiniry-Ostro (Zoey 101, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and directed by Cecilia Fairchild (Adult Book Club, Jumbo's Clown Room), Fool in the Pool follows a washed-up child star turned karaoke host who's forced to confront his troubled past after his former producer kills his comeback dream. Backed by a live karaoke band, familiar songs become part of the storytelling as comedy gradually gives way to something darker, stranger, and unexpectedly moving.
Equal parts theater, concert, karaoke night, and Hollywood fever dream, Fool in the Pool blurs the line between performer and audience. What begins as a lively night of singing quickly reveals itself to be an exploration of ambition, validation, control, and survival wrapped inside an immersive multimedia experience.

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:

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’ “…

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…

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’ “…

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:

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’ “…

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.

Few plays capture the dangers of ambition and power as vividly as Macbeth. It demonstrates what happens when grief hardens into ambition, when fear overtakes wisdom, and when those in power silence the voices that speak difficult truths. It is a story about consequence, integrity and the price of unchecked desire.
The production will be immediate and alive, crafted to preserve Shakespeare’s poetry while making the emotional stakes unmistakably clear. It will invite longtime audiences deeper into the story while offering new audiences an accessible entry point.

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’ “…

Step right up to Atwater Village Theatre, where Open Fist Theatre Company presents an immersive theater extravaganza. Under the cracked neon glow of the Big Top, The Great Clown Bank Show erupts in a fever-dream spectacle of greed, glitter and grotesque excess. Follow the rise of the Greedy family — a scheming dynasty of powder-faced hustlers who transform their tiny carnival cashbox into the most powerful clown bank in America. 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.

Stevie Nicks Illusion has been referred to as the most authentic sounding tribute to Fleetwood Mac to date! The haunting vocals and performance of Diana Grace are “Spot On” as Stevie Nicks from the early years of the 1970’s, and Monty Sommer recreates Lindsey Buckingham’s vocals and unique and intricate guitar work to sheer perfection. World Class musicianship combined with the chemistry and performance of all five band members is pure magic and all with no tracks. Laurie Richardson captures the essence of Christine McVie in voice, as well as on keyboards. The band showcases the Best of Fleetwood Mac plus specially selected songs from Stevie Nicks’ solo career. Dave Christensen is superb as Mick Fleetwood on drums and style, and Brett Scott on bass rounds out the group with his solid rock groove as John McVie! The shows are exciting as well as intimate, as they connect with the audience and engage with them in what can only be described as a magical shared musical experience!

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…
