“75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn"
The Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection opened in 1951 and Forest Lawn Museum opened the following year. Held in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the two institutions, “75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn" features never-before-exhibited photographs from the museum’s archive, newly discovered and remastered audio of the original Hall of the Crucifixion program, and beloved artworks, some of which have not been displayed for nearly a decade.
The exhibition explores the evolution of Forest Lawn Museum, including the birth of the sculpture collection in the 1920s, art galleries in the Great Mausoleum from the 1940s, and the museum’s humble beginning as a memento shop. The exhibition also highlights the lesser-known figures who helped establish and develop the museum into what it is today.
“75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn" is on view September 19, 2026–July 18, 2027.
Forest Lawn Museum is open Tuesday-Sunday, 10:00 AM-5:00 PM.

More than mere businessmen, Disney and Eaton traveled similar paths from Missouri to California, opening organizations that are deeply woven into the fabric of American culture. They met in the 1930s, forming a lasting relationship and inspiring one another throughout their careers. In 1966, Disney was an honorary pallbearer at Eaton’s funeral.

Banned from public performance in Britain for decades after its premiere, Mrs. Warren’s Profession is now widely regarded as one of Shaw’s finest early plays. He dared to expose the economic realities hidden behind Victorian respectability—and, more than a century later, its questions about money, sexuality, and women’s freedom have lost none of their bite.
In Victorian England, where women enjoy few legal rights, Kitty Warren has built an international business empire. When her daughter Vivie graduates from Cambridge, she presses her mother for answers as to their family background. The truth of how her mother survived poverty is difficult to hear; but it’s not the whole story. Shaw’s 1893 play takes a surprisingly modern view of the choices a woman must make, faced with little or no options before her, and the moral implications of economic survival. Performances are at 8pm Thurs, Fri; 3pm & 8pm Sat; 3pm Sundays through October 25 (check website for exceptions).

Speaking in Tongues
Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in its Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, the world premiere of Speaking in Tongues by Luis Alfaro continues the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” recipient’s funny, poignant exploration of life in the small, predominantly Mexican-American agricultural towns of California’s San Joaquin Valley. The setting is a Pentecostal church on the edge of a cornfield in Earlimart, a California town off Highway 99 in Tulare County. Hermana Romie, Hermana Cubby, Hermano Mando and Hermano Tico share chisme, food, and their devotion to the Apostolic faith. Hermana Romie’s husband was the pastor of their church — until he disappeared eight weeks ago. As immigration raids threaten the community and their daughter prepares to leave for a secular life in Los Angeles, Hermana Romie claims her own authority, uniting religious devotion with activism and leading the congregation toward collective resilience.

Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as Rachel in the West Coast premiere of The Best Medicine, a laugh-out-loud, open-hearted comedy about marriage, resilience and unexpected joy. A free spirit who has long prized her independence, Rachel has finally found a relationship worthy of commitment. Then the universe decides to test her. That “in sickness and in health” vow becomes a distant memory when Rachel’s husband is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, thrusting her suddenly into the job she’s least suited for: self-sacrificing caregiver. A stand-up comedy class becomes her salvation and a portal to a transformative truth about life and connection. More than a romantic comedy, The Best Medicine is a hilarious, poignant and unexpected exploration of love, purpose and meaning. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S.

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…

“75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn"
The Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection opened in 1951 and Forest Lawn Museum opened the following year. Held in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the two institutions, “75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn" features never-before-exhibited photographs from the museum’s archive, newly discovered and remastered audio of the original Hall of the Crucifixion program, and beloved artworks, some of which have not been displayed for nearly a decade.
The exhibition explores the evolution of Forest Lawn Museum, including the birth of the sculpture collection in the 1920s, art galleries in the Great Mausoleum from the 1940s, and the museum’s humble beginning as a memento shop. The exhibition also highlights the lesser-known figures who helped establish and develop the museum into what it is today.

More than mere businessmen, Disney and Eaton traveled similar paths from Missouri to California, opening organizations that are deeply woven into the fabric of American culture. They met in the 1930s, forming a lasting relationship and inspiring one another throughout their careers. In 1966, Disney was an honorary pallbearer at Eaton’s funeral.

Adapted by Patrick Barlow from Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, The 39 Steps takes the intrigue and suspense of a spy thriller and turns it into a wildly inventive night of live theatre. When an ordinary man is suddenly swept into an international espionage plot, he finds himself racing across England and Scotland while trying to outrun danger, deception and mistaken identity.
At the heart of the production’s theatrical ingenuity, four actors take on more than 100 characters, transforming from heroes and villains to spies, police officers and an ever-changing collection of characters through lightning-fast costume changes, physical comedy, clever props and imaginative staging.

Spreading the Beauty Truth Conference: Beyond the Label. Beyond the Shelf
For Black women, beauty is deeply connected to culture, identity, self-expression, and community. But it is also connected to our health, our access, our consumer safety, and our fundamental right to know what is in the products we use every day.
The beauty industry has profited from our limited access to information, our trust, and our bodies. It’s time to change that.
Spreading the Beauty Truth Conference is gathering our community, researchers, health experts, beauty professionals, advocates, and innovators together for honest, practical conversation about the beauty industry and its impact on our communities.
This interactive conference brings together solutions, answers, and resources you need to access clean beauty and support your health journey.

Two Buses Set Out: Japanese American Photography, History, and Memory
An historic photograph by Jack Iwata depicting two white buses and a crowd of people saying goodbyes outside the Los Angeles Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple has long stood as an icon of the forced removal of Japanese Americans from Little Tokyo in 1942. The site it depicts later became the original location of the Japanese American National Museum (JANM), which now holds the photo in its collection. Co-presented by JANM and the Yanai Initiative at UCLA, this symposium will explore new research about the photograph and its connection to Japanese American history.
This event brings together scholars and experts in public history and photography to present a new interpretation of this iconic image, examine how its earlier interpretation took shape, and explore the complex ways in which photography, history, and memory intersect. Through this discussion, the symposium invites us to consider how photographs acquire historical meaning, how that meaning is transmitted over time, and how new interpretations can resha…

Murder Mystery in Alaska is Like No Other
The San Fernando Valley branch of the California Writers Club (serving Los Angeles and Ventura counties) is pleased to welcome award-winning author and journalist James T. Bartlett as the keynote speaker on Saturday, November 7 at 1 pm. Bartlett will be speaking at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Wasserman Campus (Saban Center) at 23388 Mulholland Drive, Woodland Hills, 91364 with a presentation titled “Murder in Alaska and Tragedy in Hollywood: The Story of the Alaskan Blonde.” Lectures are free for CWC members. Guests can purchase admission for $10 at the door.
“I was born in England,” says Bartlett, “and I never imagined that one day I’d be travelling to the center of Alaska to investigate a murder from the 1950s. It reminded me of ‘The Postman Always Rings Twice or Double Indemnity,’ but it was a real-life film noir.”
The facts were that in the early hours of October 17, 1953 in Fairbanks, Alaska, lo…

Banned from public performance in Britain for decades after its premiere, Mrs. Warren’s Profession is now widely regarded as one of Shaw’s finest early plays. He dared to expose the economic realities hidden behind Victorian respectability—and, more than a century later, its questions about money, sexuality, and women’s freedom have lost none of their bite.
In Victorian England, where women enjoy few legal rights, Kitty Warren has built an international business empire. When her daughter Vivie graduates from Cambridge, she presses her mother for answers as to their family background. The truth of how her mother survived poverty is difficult to hear; but it’s not the whole story. Shaw’s 1893 play takes a surprisingly modern view of the choices a woman must make, faced with little or no options before her, and the moral implications of economic survival. Performances are at 8pm Thurs, Fri; 3pm & 8pm Sat; 3pm Sundays through October 25 (check website for exceptions).

Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in its Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, the world premiere of Speaking in Tongues by Luis Alfaro continues the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” recipient’s funny, poignant exploration of life in the small, predominantly Mexican-American agricultural towns of California’s San Joaquin Valley. The setting is a Pentecostal church on the edge of a cornfield in Earlimart, a California town off Highway 99 in Tulare County. Hermana Romie, Hermana Cubby, Hermano Mando and Hermano Tico share chisme, food, and their devotion to the Apostolic faith. Hermana Romie’s husband was the pastor of their church — until he disappeared eight weeks ago. As immigration raids threaten the community and their daughter prepares to leave for a secular life in Los Angeles, Hermana Romie claims her own authority, uniting religious devotion with activism and leading the congregation toward collective resilience.

A free spirit who has long prized her independence, Rachel has finally found a relationship worthy of commitment. Then the universe decides to test her. That “in sickness and in health” vow becomes a distant memory when Rachel’s husband is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, thrusting her suddenly into the job she’s least suited for: self-sacrificing caregiver. A stand-up comedy class becomes her salvation and a portal to a transformative truth about life and connection.

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 Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection opened in 1951 and Forest Lawn Museum opened the following year. Held in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the two institutions, “75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn" features never-before-exhibited photographs from the museum’s archive, newly discovered and remastered audio of the original Hall of the Crucifixion program, and beloved artworks, some of which have not been displayed for nearly a decade.
The exhibition explores the evolution of Forest Lawn Museum, including the birth of the sculpture collection in the 1920s, art galleries in the Great Mausoleum from the 1940s, and the museum’s humble beginning as a memento shop. The exhibition also highlights the lesser-known figures who helped establish and develop the museum into what it is today.
“75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn" is on view September 19, 2026–July 18, 2027.

They met in the 1930s, forming a lasting relationship and inspiring one another throughout their careers. In 1966, Disney was an honorary pallbearer at Eaton’s funeral.

Winner of a 2026 Los Angeles New Play Project award, Joy Gregory’s provocative new work, Saint Megan, explores belonging and the price of challenging the world we live in. Joy participated in Rogue Machine’s second annual Playwright's Roundtable where the script emerged, and became an Ojai Playwrights Conference finalist this year. It marks the first Playwright's Roundtable script to be given a full production.
Saint Megan is inspired by the story of Megan Phelps-Roper, granddaughter of the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, a hyper-Calvinist sect notorious for its outrageous picketing of military funerals. Megan defends her faith online, her curious mind and honest conversations threaten her ties to her family and the only community she has ever known.
Part family drama, part spiritual reckoning, part Twitter conversation—with music video parodies and Shaker dances—Saint Megan explores the long history of American Christian zealotry, our longing for salvation, and the moral courage it takes to face u…

Join us in the heart of Venice Beach for a night of art that explores the mysterious relationship between the ocean and the universe.
“LUMINEX Presents: The Infinite Between” explores the profound and mysterious relationship between the ocean and the universe, two seemingly infinite realms that shape human existence while remaining largely unknown to us.
Connected through forces both visible and unseen, from the moon’s gravitational pull on the tides to the rhythms that govern bodies, ecosystems, and celestial systems, the ocean and cosmos become mirrors of one another: vast, ancient, immersive, and beyond complete comprehension.
Through contemporary practices that unite art, technology, and nature, the exhibition invites artists to interpret these interconnected worlds through light, sound, movement, digital media, and sensory experience, creating opportunities to consider our place within systems far greater than ourselves.
At its core, LUMINEX Presents: The Infinite Between asks how encounters with th…

Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in its Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, the world premiere of Speaking in Tongues by Luis Alfaro continues the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” recipient’s funny, poignant exploration of life in the small, predominantly Mexican-American agricultural towns of California’s San Joaquin Valley. The setting is a Pentecostal church on the edge of a cornfield in Earlimart, a California town off Highway 99 in Tulare County. Hermana Romie, Hermana Cubby, Hermano Mando and Hermano Tico share chisme, food, and their devotion to the Apostolic faith. Hermana Romie’s husband was the pastor of their church — until he disappeared eight weeks ago. As immigration raids threaten the community and their daughter prepares to leave for a secular life in Los Angeles, Hermana Romie claims her own authority, uniting religious devotion with activism and leading the congregation toward collective resilience.

Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as Rachel in the West Coast premiere of The Best Medicine, a laugh-out-loud, open-hearted comedy about marriage, resilience and unexpected joy. A free spirit who has long prized her independence, Rachel has finally found a relationship worthy of commitment. Then the universe decides to test her. That “in sickness and in health” vow becomes a distant memory when Rachel’s husband is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, thrusting her suddenly into the job she’s least suited for: self-sacrificing caregiver. A stand-up comedy class becomes her salvation and a portal to a transformative truth about life and connection. More than a romantic comedy, The Best Medicine is a hilarious, poignant and unexpected exploration of love, purpose and meaning. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S.

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…

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…

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…

The Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection opened in 1951 and Forest Lawn Museum opened the following year. Held in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the two institutions, “75 Years: Art Finds a Home at Forest Lawn" features never-before-exhibited photographs from the museum’s archive, newly discovered and remastered audio of the original Hall of the Crucifixion program, and beloved artworks, some of which have not been displayed for nearly a decade.
The exhibition explores the evolution of Forest Lawn Museum, including the birth of the sculpture collection in the 1920s, art galleries in the Great Mausoleum from the 1940s, and the museum’s humble beginning as a memento shop. The exhibition also highlights the lesser-known figures who helped establish and develop the museum into what it is today.

As the inaugural opera of Far Away, Here, CAP UCLA’s new international opera initiative, Kafka’s Letter to His Father directed by Shayna Penn launches a program dedicated to contemporary works that expand the possibilities of opera across cultures, disciplines and forms.
Kafka’s Letter to His Father premiered May 2, 2024, at the National Theater in Prague. The intimate opera explores a childhood marked by fear of an overpowering father and a struggle to conform to rigid ideals of masculinity. Through literary creation, Kafka finds a path toward freedom, escaping paternal authority through the act of writing.
The libretto uses minimalist language to transform Kafka’s monological letter into direct interactions, revealing a nonlinear arc from helplessness to liberati…

Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in its Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, the world premiere of Speaking in Tongues by Luis Alfaro continues the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” recipient’s funny, poignant exploration of life in the small, predominantly Mexican-American agricultural towns of California’s San Joaquin Valley. The setting is a Pentecostal church on the edge of a cornfield in Earlimart, a California town off Highway 99 in Tulare County. Hermana Romie, Hermana Cubby, Hermano Mando and Hermano Tico share chisme, food, and their devotion to the Apostolic faith. Hermana Romie’s husband was the pastor of their church — until he disappeared eight weeks ago. As immigration raids threaten the community and their daughter prepares to leave for a secular life in Los Angeles, Hermana Romie claims her own authority, uniting religious devotion with activism and leading the congregation toward collective resilience.

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…

Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in its Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, the world premiere of Speaking in Tongues by Luis Alfaro continues the MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” recipient’s funny, poignant exploration of life in the small, predominantly Mexican-American agricultural towns of California’s San Joaquin Valley. The setting is a Pentecostal church on the edge of a cornfield in Earlimart, a California town off Highway 99 in Tulare County. Hermana Romie, Hermana Cubby, Hermano Mando and Hermano Tico share chisme, food, and their devotion to the Apostolic faith. Hermana Romie’s husband was the pastor of their church — until he disappeared eight weeks ago. As immigration raids threaten the community and their daughter prepares to leave for a secular life in Los Angeles, Hermana Romie claims her own authority, uniting religious devotion with activism and leading the congregation toward collective resilience.

Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as Rachel in the West Coast premiere of The Best Medicine, a laugh-out-loud, open-hearted comedy about marriage, resilience and unexpected joy. A free spirit who has long prized her independence, Rachel has finally found a relationship worthy of commitment. Then the universe decides to test her. That “in sickness and in health” vow becomes a distant memory when Rachel’s husband is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, thrusting her suddenly into the job she’s least suited for: self-sacrificing caregiver. A stand-up comedy class becomes her salvation and a portal to a transformative truth about life and connection. More than a romantic comedy, The Best Medicine is a hilarious, poignant and unexpected exploration of love, purpose and meaning. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S.

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…
