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…

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.

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.

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 Bill Manhoff, "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a bold, fast-paced two-character comedy that brings together two wildly different personalities forced into close proximity. One is intellectual, guarded, and obsessed with rules and ideals; the other is impulsive, outspoken, sensual, and unapologetically alive. When chance throws them together, what begins as chaos and conflict slowly reveals vulnerability, humor, and a surprising emotional bond.
Through razor-sharp dialogue and intimate moments, the play explores loneliness, desire, identity, and the masks people wear to survive. Both hilarious and deeply human, "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a timeless battle-of-the-sexes story that asks whether connection is possible when two people see the world in completely opposite ways.
Show times are Friday, April 17 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 18 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m.

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.

With war looming, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin attempt a covert peace negotiation with Britain, only to find their greatest obstacle is not the Crown, but each other. The fate of the new nation hangs on whose version of freedom will triumph in this new play asking us what independence means, and what are the costs.

An evening of two rarely staged Pinter one-acts—one chilling, one darkly comic, both unmistakably unsettling. In Party Time, affluent guests at a chic London gathering trade gossip and brag about wealthy pursuits while, just beyond the half-open door, an unjust regime enforces “order” with brutal force. The Lover shifts the tone, as a married couple enlivens their relationship by exchanging intimate accounts of their affairs—until Pinter’s sly, bittersweet twist reveals how fragile the boundaries between fantasy, power and desire truly are.

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.

Written by Bill Manhoff, "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a bold, fast-paced two-character comedy that brings together two wildly different personalities forced into close proximity. One is intellectual, guarded, and obsessed with rules and ideals; the other is impulsive, outspoken, sensual, and unapologetically alive. When chance throws them together, what begins as chaos and conflict slowly reveals vulnerability, humor, and a surprising emotional bond.
Through razor-sharp dialogue and intimate moments, the play explores loneliness, desire, identity, and the masks people wear to survive. Both hilarious and deeply human, "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a timeless battle-of-the-sexes story that asks whether connection is possible when two people see the world in completely opposite ways.
Show times are Friday, April 17 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 18 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m.

Sir John Falstaff finds himself a bit short on cash, so he hatches a scheme: seduce two merry (and wealthy) wives of Windsor and live out his days in luxury. Too bad this bumbling knight happened to send both his targets the same love letter! Now Alice Ford and Meg Page are set on teaching Falstaff a lesson, and it's not long before a long list of his adversaries join in. Audiences are in for a whirlwind of disguises and deceptions, and maybe even an unexpected dip in the River Thames.
James Conlon conducts one of his personal favorites, Verdi's utterly delightful comic masterpiece. Longtime company favorite Craig Colclough stars as the boastful Falstaff, leading a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Nicole Heaston, Ernesto Petti and Hyona Kim among the pranksters all too happy to take the errant knight down a peg, with Deanna Breiwick and Anthony León as the young lovers desperate to steal a private moment to themselves among the madness.

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.

Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork comes to A Noise Within in a visceral new production. Aging salesman Willy Loman has spent his life chasing the promise of success, believing that charisma and ambition would guarantee prosperity and respect.

With war looming, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams attempt a covert peace negotiation with Britain. Forced to share a bed on the eve of the talks, one of America's most enlightened pragmatists and one of its most insufferable realists find their greatest obstacle is not the Crown, but each other.

In Party Time, affluent guests at a chic London gathering trade gossip and brag about wealthy pursuits while, just beyond the half-open door, an unjust regime enforces “order” with brutal force. The Lover shifts the tone, as a married couple enlivens their relationship by exchanging intimate accounts of their affairs—until Pinter’s sly, bittersweet twist reveals how fragile the boundaries between fantasy, power and desire truly are.

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.

Written by Bill Manhoff, "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a bold, fast-paced two-character comedy that brings together two wildly different personalities forced into close proximity. One is intellectual, guarded, and obsessed with rules and ideals; the other is impulsive, outspoken, sensual, and unapologetically alive. When chance throws them together, what begins as chaos and conflict slowly reveals vulnerability, humor, and a surprising emotional bond.
Through razor-sharp dialogue and intimate moments, the play explores loneliness, desire, identity, and the masks people wear to survive. Both hilarious and deeply human, "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a timeless battle-of-the-sexes story that asks whether connection is possible when two people see the world in completely opposite ways.
Show times are Friday, April 17 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 18 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m.

An evening of two rarely staged Pinter one-acts—one chilling, one darkly comic, both unmistakably unsettling. In Party Time, affluent guests at a chic London gathering trade gossip and brag about wealthy pursuits while, just beyond the half-open door, an unjust regime enforces “order” with brutal force. The Lover shifts the tone, as a married couple enlivens their relationship by exchanging intimate accounts of their affairs—until Pinter’s sly, bittersweet twist reveals how fragile the boundaries between fantasy, power and desire truly are.

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.
