Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation—and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. These different but complementary impulses became the basis for organizations such as the California Art Club (founded in 1909), the Taos Society of Artists (founded in 1915), and the Laguna Beach Art Association (founded in 1918), fostering a sense of shared artistic values based on regional character.

In this lecture, we will trace how Jacques-Louis David, an ardent Jacobin who voted for the king’s execution, drew on classical traditions to cast revolutionary events in the language of heroic history, while also examining the artists in his circle who ultimately broke from their master to create sensuous, exotic paintings that captured the era’s emotional intensity.

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 Industry LAB series is at the very core of these experiments, inviting artists who have never worked in opera to reexamine its history and orthodoxies—recasting the art form both onstage and in the gallery to reinvent its shape for our time.

In his bold and intimate new solo show, L.A. cult icon and Rogue Machine resident playwright Justin Tanner dives head first with courage and sharp humor into a story that centers around the strained relationship between a playwright and his estranged father. In his most autobiographical play yet, two men in different apartments prepare for a meeting that they would rather avoid - but desperately need. What begins as a messy and comic struggle against pride and past resentments becomes a reckoning with vulnerability and forgiveness. Directed by Lisa James.
“It takes courage to write such a play and maybe a touch of madness to perform it in such an intimate space. Tanner’s language vividly captures the warped patterns of their thinking. Art and culture are a refuge and a point of connection. Resilience, too, is transmitted, as is a desire to preserve the love that wasn’t destroyed in the family conflagration” – Charles McNulty (LA Times).

Based on true events when the Communist Party courted African Americans in 1932 by championing their civil rights and opposing racist injustices, four Harlemites fleeing racial injustice and the economic fallout of the great depression, win roles in a blockbuster film financed by Joseph Stalin. Once in the Soviet Union, they pursue the dreams denied them in the US, but when they discover the country is hiding a devastating secret, they’ll be forced to escape it with their lives. Company of Angels presents the premiere of Red Harlem, written by playwright Kimba Henderson.

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…

Five Howard students sat down on the gilded horses of whites-only carousel the summer of 1960. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students en masse and set up picket lines, an unprecedented collaboration was born. The pickets attracted Nazis, Congressman, and a press avalanche. Picketing together led to partying together and union organizers mentored student activists, ultimately producing ten 1961 Freedom Riders, including Stokely Carmichael, and a Supreme Court case.
With never-before seen footage, and immersive storytelling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman, four living protesters rescue this untold story, revealing the price, and the power, of heeding the impulse to activism. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voiceover by noted actors Jeffrey Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Bob Balaban, Lee Grant, Peter Gallagher, Dominique Thorne, Alysia Reiner, and Tracie Thoms.

Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation—and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. These different but complementary impulses became the basis for organizations such as the California Art Club (founded in 1909), the Taos Society of Artists (founded in 1915), and the Laguna Beach Art Association (founded in 1918), fostering a sense of shared artistic values based on regional character.
The images they generated—of sun-washed hills, dramatic deserts, and portraits of Pueblo life—have influenced regional identity, artistic production, and tourist expectations ever since. By showcasing historical work…

Our Authors Study Club (OASC), in partnership with the African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA), and co-presenters Highways Performance Space and The Till Artists Collective, presents an intimate evening celebrating the enduring power of Black storytelling.
The program features acclaimed actress and author Denise Nicholas, honored as a Living Legend, alongside author and screenwriter Antwone Fisher in a moderated conversation with an AAFCA representative.
Centering Nicholas’s memoir Finding Home and Fisher’s seminal work Finding Fish, the evening explores storytelling as both testimony and transformation—bridging literature, film, and lived experience while affirming Black history as a living continuum.
Denise Nicholas’s career spans the Civil Rights Movement, groundbreaking performances on television, and award-winning literary achievement. Fisher’s deeply personal narratives of resilience and self-discovery have reshaped contemporary conversations around healing, identity, and authorship.

In his bold and intimate new solo show, L.A. cult icon and Rogue Machine resident playwright Justin Tanner dives head first with courage and sharp humor into a story that centers around the strained relationship between a playwright and his estranged father. In his most autobiographical play yet, two men in different apartments prepare for a meeting that they would rather avoid - but desperately need. What begins as a messy and comic struggle against pride and past resentments becomes a reckoning with vulnerability and forgiveness. Directed by Lisa James.
“It takes courage to write such a play and maybe a touch of madness to perform it in such an intimate space. Tanner’s language vividly captures the warped patterns of their thinking. Art and culture are a refuge and a point of connection. Resilience, too, is transmitted, as is a desire to preserve the love that wasn’t destroyed in the family conflagration” – Charles McNulty (LA Times).

We Cool is an autobiographical coming-of-age story, a childhood diary brought vividly to life. Guided by an “inner committee” of childhood companions — O.T. Bear, Murray Huggy-Bear and Marcus Bearison — the work traces the rhythms of growing up through memory, imagination and play.
This interdisciplinary solo performance is driven by rhythm, expressed through tap dance and an amalgamation of movement styles, original musical compositions, organic hand puppetry, spoken text and song. Rhythm becomes a powerful emotional language here, shifting from silly simplicity to layered, serious complexity.
We Cool makes peace with the past while envisioning a future shaped by imagination — one that encourages the pursuit of our deepest desires. The piece imagines a world where individuality is not only accepted but celebrated as part of a collective whole, honoring the unique contribution of each person.

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…

Ain't No Back to a Merry-Go-Round LA Premiere in Three Laemmle Theaters for Black History Month
Five Howard students sat down on the gilded horses of whites-only carousel the summer of 1960. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students en masse and set up picket lines, an unprecedented collaboration was born. The pickets attracted Nazis, Congressman, and a press avalanche. Picketing together led to partying together and union organizers mentored student activists, ultimately producing ten 1961 Freedom Riders, including Stokely Carmichael, and a Supreme Court case.
With never-before seen footage, and immersive storytelling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman, four living protesters rescue this untold story, revealing the price, and the power, of heeding the impulse to activism. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voiceover by noted actors Jeffrey Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Bob Balaban, Lee Grant, Peter Gallagher, Dominique Thorne, Alysia Reiner, and Tracie Thoms.

Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation—and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. These different but complementary impulses became the basis for organizations such as the California Art Club (founded in 1909), the Taos Society of Artists (founded in 1915), and the Laguna Beach Art Association (founded in 1918), fostering a sense of shared artistic values based on regional character.
The images they generated—of sun-washed hills, dramatic deserts, and portraits of Pueblo life—have influenced regional identity, artistic production, and tourist expectations ever since. By showcasing historical work…

In his bold and intimate new solo show, L.A. cult icon and Rogue Machine resident playwright Justin Tanner dives head first with courage and sharp humor into a story that centers around the strained relationship between a playwright and his estranged father. In his most autobiographical play yet, two men in different apartments prepare for a meeting that they would rather avoid - but desperately need. What begins as a messy and comic struggle against pride and past resentments becomes a reckoning with vulnerability and forgiveness. Directed by Lisa James.
“It takes courage to write such a play and maybe a touch of madness to perform it in such an intimate space. Tanner’s language vividly captures the warped patterns of their thinking. Art and culture are a refuge and a point of connection. Resilience, too, is transmitted, as is a desire to preserve the love that wasn’t destroyed in the family conflagration” – Charles McNulty (LA Times).

The Santa Monica Playhouse Jewish Heritage series presents the world premiere of acclaimed playwright Jerry Mayer’s newest play, a serious comedy about ambulance chasers, those predators whose faces leer down at us from every billboard in town, and the angel of an attorney (is there such a thing?) who’s on a mission to chase them down.

“If only these walls could talk.” Open Fist Theatre Company makes that wish a reality with the Los Angeles premiere of Brownstone, a bittersweet comedic drama that unfolds on the second floor of a classic New York brownstone at three distinct moments in its history. Brownstone’s structure is as striking as the architecture that inspired it: three poignant, often funny stories, set in 1978, 1937 and 1999, take place in the same building, linked through time.

Based on true events when the Communist Party courted African Americans in 1932 by championing their civil rights and opposing racist injustices, four Harlemites fleeing racial injustice and the economic fallout of the great depression, win roles in a blockbuster film financed by Joseph Stalin. Once in the Soviet Union, they pursue the dreams denied them in the US, but when they discover the country is hiding a devastating secret, they’ll be forced to escape it with their lives. Company of Angels presents the premiere of Red Harlem, written by playwright Kimba Henderson.

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.

Five Howard students sat down on the gilded horses of whites-only carousel the summer of 1960. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students en masse and set up picket lines, an unprecedented collaboration was born. The pickets attracted Nazis, Congressman, and a press avalanche. Picketing together led to partying together and union organizers mentored student activists, ultimately producing ten 1961 Freedom Riders, including Stokely Carmichael, and a Supreme Court case.
With never-before seen footage, and immersive storytelling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman, four living protesters rescue this untold story, revealing the price, and the power, of heeding the impulse to activism. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voiceover by noted actors Jeffrey Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Bob Balaban, Lee Grant, Peter Gallagher, Dominique Thorne, Alysia Reiner, and Tracie Thoms.

Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation—and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. These different but complementary impulses became the basis for organizations such as the California Art Club (founded in 1909), the Taos Society of Artists (founded in 1915), and the Laguna Beach Art Association (founded in 1918), fostering a sense of shared artistic values based on regional character.
The images they generated—of sun-washed hills, dramatic deserts, and portraits of Pueblo life—have influenced regional identity, artistic production, and tourist expectations ever since. By showcasing historical work…

In his bold and intimate new solo show, L.A. cult icon and Rogue Machine resident playwright Justin Tanner dives head first with courage and sharp humor into a story that centers around the strained relationship between a playwright and his estranged father. In his most autobiographical play yet, two men in different apartments prepare for a meeting that they would rather avoid - but desperately need. What begins as a messy and comic struggle against pride and past resentments becomes a reckoning with vulnerability and forgiveness. Directed by Lisa James.
“It takes courage to write such a play and maybe a touch of madness to perform it in such an intimate space. Tanner’s language vividly captures the warped patterns of their thinking. Art and culture are a refuge and a point of connection. Resilience, too, is transmitted, as is a desire to preserve the love that wasn’t destroyed in the family conflagration” – Charles McNulty (LA Times).

Five Howard students sat down on the gilded horses of whites-only carousel the summer of 1960. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students en masse and set up picket lines, an unprecedented collaboration was born. The pickets attracted Nazis, Congressman, and a press avalanche. Picketing together led to partying together and union organizers mentored student activists, ultimately producing ten 1961 Freedom Riders, including Stokely Carmichael, and a Supreme Court case.
With never-before seen footage, and immersive storytelling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman, four living protesters rescue this untold story, revealing the price, and the power, of heeding the impulse to activism. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voiceover by noted actors Jeffrey Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Bob Balaban, Lee Grant, Peter Gallagher, Dominique Thorne, Alysia Reiner, and Tracie Thoms.

Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation—and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. These different but complementary impulses became the basis for organizations such as the California Art Club (founded in 1909), the Taos Society of Artists (founded in 1915), and the Laguna Beach Art Association (founded in 1918), fostering a sense of shared artistic values based on regional character.
The images they generated—of sun-washed hills, dramatic deserts, and portraits of Pueblo life—have influenced regional identity, artistic production, and tourist expectations ever since. By showcasing historical work…

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.

Five Howard students sat down on the gilded horses of whites-only carousel the summer of 1960. When the white community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students en masse and set up picket lines, an unprecedented collaboration was born. The pickets attracted Nazis, Congressman, and a press avalanche. Picketing together led to partying together and union organizers mentored student activists, ultimately producing ten 1961 Freedom Riders, including Stokely Carmichael, and a Supreme Court case.
With never-before seen footage, and immersive storytelling by Emmy-award winning director Ilana Trachtman, four living protesters rescue this untold story, revealing the price, and the power, of heeding the impulse to activism. AIN'T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND includes voiceover by noted actors Jeffrey Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Bob Balaban, Lee Grant, Peter Gallagher, Dominique Thorne, Alysia Reiner, and Tracie Thoms.

Desert Dreams and Coastal Currents traces the parallel rise of Southern California and the Southwest as hubs of artistic innovation—and the lasting impact of these legacies on how we see and experience these places still. Around the turn of the twentieth century, artists seeking subject matter that felt at once recognizably American yet untainted by the industrial modernism of East Coast cities flocked to places like Laguna Beach in Southern California, or Taos and Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico. These different but complementary impulses became the basis for organizations such as the California Art Club (founded in 1909), the Taos Society of Artists (founded in 1915), and the Laguna Beach Art Association (founded in 1918), fostering a sense of shared artistic values based on regional character.
The images they generated—of sun-washed hills, dramatic deserts, and portraits of Pueblo life—have influenced regional identity, artistic production, and tourist expectations ever since. By showcasing historical work…

LAB artists, following a period of incubation at REDCAT, will present works in the gallery and on the stage across a two-week program. Designed to showcase works in progress, LAB is a celebration of ideas, imagination, and collaborative risk-taking.

In his bold and intimate new solo show, L.A. cult icon and Rogue Machine resident playwright Justin Tanner dives head first with courage and sharp humor into a story that centers around the strained relationship between a playwright and his estranged father. In his most autobiographical play yet, two men in different apartments prepare for a meeting that they would rather avoid - but desperately need. What begins as a messy and comic struggle against pride and past resentments becomes a reckoning with vulnerability and forgiveness. Directed by Lisa James.
“It takes courage to write such a play and maybe a touch of madness to perform it in such an intimate space. Tanner’s language vividly captures the warped patterns of their thinking. Art and culture are a refuge and a point of connection. Resilience, too, is transmitted, as is a desire to preserve the love that wasn’t destroyed in the family conflagration” – Charles McNulty (LA Times).

Based on true events when the Communist Party courted African Americans in 1932 by championing their civil rights and opposing racist injustices, four Harlemites fleeing racial injustice and the economic fallout of the great depression, win roles in a blockbuster film financed by Joseph Stalin.
