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:

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.

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.

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 Strip isn’t just a street — it’s a century‑long highlight reel of fame, rebellion, and pure Tinseltown electricity.

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.
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:

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.

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:

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:

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…

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…

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