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’ mystique. The tour concludes on Roxbury Drive, once nicknamed the “Street of the Stars,” where legends like Lucille Ball and Jimmy Stewart made their homes. During this 75‑minute stroll, you’ll also: - Admire Beverly Hills City Hall and the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, where Fred Astaire once tap‑danced across marble floors - Explore the futuristic Union 76 gas station, a space‑age gem designed by the architect behind LAX’s iconic Theme Building - Visit Anderton Court Shops, the only retail project ever designed by Frank Lloyd Wright - Stand before the historic Beverly Wilshire Hotel, famed for Pretty Woman and built atop a former racetrack - Discover where stars like Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor dined at legendary hotspots such as La Scala - See the whimsical Witch’s House, a storybook cottage that began as a film set before becoming a beloved local treasure - Marvel at the restored Electric Fountain, a 1931 masterpiece featuring a Tongva tribe member in prayer, surrounded by glowing ceramic tiles By the end of your walk, you’ll have uncovered how Beverly Hills reinvented itself — again and again — to become the glamorous, star‑studded destination the world adores.

Executive produced by Zac Efron, the film follows Greenfield on his most personal journey yet, moving beyond biohacking and elite performance to explore family, faith, purpose, and what it truly means to live a fulfilled life, arguing that lasting health is rooted as much in character and relationships as in physical performance. The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Ben and his family.

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

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley kicks off Season 56 with the World Premiere of “The Employee Dharma Handbook” by Geetha Reddy (“Safe House,” “Mahābhārata”). A bold, funny, and enlightening new work, this scintillating premiere was a favorite at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley’s 2025 New Works Festival and is a recipient of TheatreWorks’ Kurjan/Butler commission. Set at a Silicon Valley aerospace company, HR executive Val investigates a potential staffing issue amongst the lead engineers, suspecting sexism. She instead encounters simmering tensions of ancient origins amongst the company’s Indian immigrant employees bubbling over and threatening to derail the company’s upcoming rocket launch. Center Theatre Group’s Brindell & Milton Gottlieb Director Snehal Desai directs this gripping investigation of identity and desire, which features Megan Suri (Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever”), Kapil Talwalkar (Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs,” NBC’s “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” NBC’s “Night Court”), Kunal Dudheker (20th Century Studios’ “Ad Astra,” Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”), Kathryn Smith-McGlynn (20th Century Studios’ “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials”), and Ranjita Chakravarty (Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever”).

Stevie Nicks Illusion – A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac
Alvas Showroom 1417 W 8th Street San Pedro Ca 90732 · Alvas Showroom 1417 W 8th Street San Pedro Ca 90732
Stevie Nicks Illusion has been referred to as the most authentic sounding tribute to Fleetwood Mac to date! The haunting vocals and performance of Diana Grace are “Spot On” as Stevie Nicks from the early years of the 1970’s, and Monty Sommer recreates Lindsey Buckingham’s vocals and unique and intricate guitar work to sheer perfection. World Class musicianship combined with the chemistry and performance of all five band members is pure magic and all with no tracks. Laurie Richardson captures the essence of Christine McVie in voice, as well as on keyboards. The band showcases the Best of Fleetwood Mac plus specially selected songs from Stevie Nicks’ solo career. Dave Christensen is superb as Mick Fleetwood on drums and style, and Brett Scott on bass rounds out the group with his solid rock groove as John McVie! The shows are exciting as well as intimate, as they connect with the audience and engage with them in what can only be described as a magical shared musical experience!

The Last Hat – a World Premiere Ensemble Horror Play
Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401 · Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401
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 Main Stage Benefit Campaign. Rated 18+ The beautiful Main Stage was destroyed in a water damage disaster in July 2024. Wonderful support is helping us make major inroads towards the rebuild - but we need your help! Please join Chris Levine, Megan Ripchik, Erica Tenaglia and their wonderful company of artists in bringing this iconic theatre back to life.

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 diverse backgrounds—ranging from those born in the United States to immigrants from various regions—these artists contribute a kaleidoscope of individual perspectives that bring the Armenian experience into focus. “Convergence" is curated by artists Alina Mnatsakanian and Kaloust Guedel, in collaboration with James Fishburne, Director of Forest Lawn Museum. The exhibition features work by Martiros Adalian, Rouzanna Berberian, Tina Chakarian, Aroussiak Gabrielian, Charles Garabedian, Sophia Gasparian, Liana Grigoryan, Kaloust Guedel, Charlie Hachadourian, Alex Hedison, Armineh Hovanesian, Narine Isajanyan, Gegam Kacherian, Farrah Karapetian, Nina Katchadourian, Bari Luis, Sossi Madzounian, Ara Mgrdichian, Alina Mnatsakanian, Hagop Najarian, Arshak Nazarian, Ara Oshagan, Larisa Safaryan, Aram Saroyan, She Loves Collective, Alysse Stepanian, Gagik Vardanyan, Harry Vorperian, Zadik Zadikian, and Zareh.

A CINDERELLA Summer – an “Enchanting” Rudie-DeCarlo Family Theatre Musical for kids 2 to 102
Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401 · Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401
"An Enchanting Cinderella!...highlighted by fast pacing, fancy costuming and a lovely, unweepy Cinderella…particularly within the context of Rudie and DeCarlo's trademark Gilbert & Sullivan comic lyrics." LA Times The beloved Rudie-DeCarlo musical CINDERELLA is back for summer, with a stunning multi-media makeover. It’s Cinderella like you’ve never seen her before, with new songs, hilarious special FX, a silent movie segment that will have you falling out of your seat, dazzling costumes, amazing magical prestidigitation, and a story about being true to your dreams and loving yourself as you are that's as meaningful today as ever before. “Best Parties in LA!” CBS.com Splendid birthday parties, hosted by costumed members of the Cinderella Company, are available with every performance. (Mention code ABC7 for 10% off birthday parties only – contact us at 1-310-394-9779 or [email protected] for details.) “A delight for the entire family!” LA SPLASH It’s the perfect fairytale for today's generation: a handsome prince (who yearns to be loved for himself, not his royal position), silly stepsisters (who ultimately discover that looks really aren't everything), a feisty (but genuinely well-meaning) stepmother, a silver-foxy (if slightly befuddled) King and a refreshingly independent Cinderella. “Pick of the Month!” Show Time Magazine. After two dozen tours to England, Alaska and Japan, CINDERELLA is still the single most requested Playhouse Musical Matinee on three continents and this delightful 42nd anniversary make-over offers added delights: playful period costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, magical special effects by James Cooper and the heart-warming romance that blooms with the assistance of a glass slipper, a magic wand, and the audience's eager intervention. "This extraordinary company creates a strange new brand of excitement...Truly imaginative and entertaining, this play has all its spark plugs firing." - LA PARENT CINDERELLA features Actors’ Repertory Theatre members James Cooper, Shravana Karthekiyan, Isabel Lindley, J.T. Melaragno, Cydne Moore, Defne Oztas, Michala Peltz, Charlotte Robinson, Chani Schwarcz and Francesca Whitsell. Fairygodmother, of course, plays herself. Directed by Playhouse Co-Artistic Director Chris DeCarlo, book, music & lyrics by DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie. "A show that will delight children and adults, even if they think they have seen every possible twist on the Cinderella story." reviewplays.com Saturdays 2pm, Sundays 12:30, June 6 – August 30

Expand and Contract: Notes about American Documentary Photography in the 21st Century
252 S Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles 90012 · 252 S Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles 90012
This third edition of Expand and Contract focuses on American photography today, now that the first quarter of the twenty-first century has drawn to a close. It asks whether this first quarter-century of photographic production has characteristics shaped by larger societal, technological and geopolitical shifts. This is not an attempt to offer a sweeping view of documentary photography in the US in recent decades. Rather, this exhibition is a modest and earnest attempt to consider how America sees itself, what it highlights and what might be missing from the frame, beginning with the turn of the century and 9/11, exploring protests, conditions of living, and the aftermath of wildfires. Documentary is a complex field of practice, which has a deep (and at times contentious) relationship with representation or the lack thereof. This exhibition suggests such tensions should be highlighted, as well as the ways in which photographers capture their own communities and stories now. Susan Meiselas takes the viewer to the border, creating its physical presence in the space with a photographic mural, shown alongside compilations of videos grabbed from social media and other digital sources, depicting deportations and conflicts with ICE agents. Isadora Kosofsky looks at the lives of families with incarcerated parents at twelve men’s and women’s prisons in Florida. Eric Smith has been chronicling the protests in Los Angeles, between 2016-2026, beginning with the first Trump presidency. Marcus Ubungen has been returning to Altadena to capture portraits of residents, and the incongruities between incomprehensible devastation and persistent rebuilding efforts. Filmmaker Keva Rosenfeld’s intimate Polaroid portraits of some of the most famous people in the world capture a culture in transition, triggered by the rise of digital technology. John Senese shares a never-before-seen series about the World Trade Center and 9/11, depicting a world shifting forever in front of the lens.

The tour begins at 9439 Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. · The tour begins at 9439 Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
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’ mystique. The tour concludes on Roxbury Drive, once nicknamed the “Street of the Stars,” where legends like Lucille Ball and Jimmy Stewart made their homes. During this 75‑minute stroll, you’ll also: - Admire Beverly Hills City Hall and the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, where Fred Astaire once tap‑danced across marble floors - Explore the futuristic Union 76 gas station, a space‑age gem designed by the architect behind LAX’s iconic Theme Building - Visit Anderton Court Shops, the only retail project ever designed by Frank Lloyd Wright - Stand before the historic Beverly Wilshire Hotel, famed for Pretty Woman and built atop a former racetrack - Discover where stars like Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor dined at legendary hotspots such as La Scala - See the whimsical Witch’s House, a storybook cottage that began as a film set before becoming a beloved local treasure - Marvel at the restored Electric Fountain, a 1931 masterpiece featuring a Tongva tribe member in prayer, surrounded by glowing ceramic tiles By the end of your walk, you’ll have uncovered how Beverly Hills reinvented itself — again and again — to become the glamorous, star‑studded destination the world adores. Step into the story. The sparkle of Beverly Hills is waiting for you. Note - TourFreely’s on demand self-guided tours are available 24/7, seven days a week.

Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401 · Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401
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 Main Stage Benefit Campaign. Rated 18+ The beautiful Main Stage was destroyed in a water damage disaster in July 2024. Wonderful support is helping us make major inroads towards the rebuild - but we need your help!

With diverse backgrounds—ranging from those born in the United States to immigrants from various regions—these artists contribute a kaleidoscope of individual perspectives that bring the Armenian experience into focus. “Convergence" is curated by artists Alina Mnatsakanian and Kaloust Guedel, in collaboration with James Fishburne, Director of Forest Lawn Museum. The exhibition features work by Martiros Adalian, Rouzanna Berberian, Tina Chakarian, Aroussiak Gabrielian, Charles Garabedian, Sophia Gasparian, Liana Grigoryan, Kaloust Guedel, Charlie Hachadourian, Alex Hedison, Armineh Hovanesian, Narine Isajanyan, Gegam Kacherian, Farrah Karapetian, Nina Katchadourian, Bari Luis, Sossi Madzounian, Ara Mgrdichian, Alina Mnatsakanian, Hagop Najarian, Arshak Nazarian, Ara Oshagan, Larisa Safaryan, Aram Saroyan, She Loves Collective, Alysse Stepanian, Gagik Vardanyan, Harry Vorperian, Zadik Zadikian, and Zareh.

A CINDERELLA Summer – an “Enchanting” Rudie-DeCarlo Family Theatre Musical for kids 2 to 102
Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401 · Santa Monica Playhouse, 1211 4th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401
"An Enchanting Cinderella!...highlighted by fast pacing, fancy costuming and a lovely, unweepy Cinderella…particularly within the context of Rudie and DeCarlo's trademark Gilbert & Sullivan comic lyrics." LA Times The beloved Rudie-DeCarlo musical CINDERELLA is back for summer, with a stunning multi-media makeover. It’s Cinderella like you’ve never seen her before, with new songs, hilarious special FX, a silent movie segment that will have you falling out of your seat, dazzling costumes, amazing magical prestidigitation, and a story about being true to your dreams and loving yourself as you are that's as meaningful today as ever before. “Best Parties in LA!” CBS.com Splendid birthday parties, hosted by costumed members of the Cinderella Company, are available with every performance. (Mention code ABC7 for 10% off birthday parties only – contact us at 1-310-394-9779 or [email protected] for details.) “A delight for the entire family!” LA SPLASH It’s the perfect fairytale for today's generation: a handsome prince (who yearns to be loved for himself, not his royal position), silly stepsisters (who ultimately discover that looks really aren't everything), a feisty (but genuinely well-meaning) stepmother, a silver-foxy (if slightly befuddled) King and a refreshingly independent Cinderella. “Pick of the Month!” Show Time Magazine. After two dozen tours to England, Alaska and Japan, CINDERELLA is still the single most requested Playhouse Musical Matinee on three continents and this delightful 42nd anniversary make-over offers added delights: playful period costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, magical special effects by James Cooper and the heart-warming romance that blooms with the assistance of a glass slipper, a magic wand, and the audience's eager intervention. "This extraordinary company creates a strange new brand of excitement...Truly imaginative and entertaining, this play has all its spark plugs firing." - LA PARENT CINDERELLA features Actors’ Repertory Theatre members James Cooper, Shravana Karthekiyan, Isabel Lindley, J.T. Melaragno, Cydne Moore, Defne Oztas, Michala Peltz, Charlotte Robinson, Chani Schwarcz and Francesca Whitsell. Fairygodmother, of course, plays herself. Directed by Playhouse Co-Artistic Director Chris DeCarlo, book, music & lyrics by DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie. "A show that will delight children and adults, even if they think they have seen every possible twist on the Cinderella story." reviewplays.com Saturdays 2pm, Sundays 12:30, June 6 – August 30

It’s the world premiere of acclaimed playwright Jerry Mayer’s serious comedy about ambulance chasers, those predators whose faces leer down at us from every billboard in town, and the angel of an attorney (yes, there is such a thing) who’s on a mission to chase them off the road. The internationally acclaimed team that brought you Jews R2 Much Fun, Almost Perfect, Aspirin & ELEPHANTS, You Haven’t Changed a Bit and Other Lies and more, reunites renowned playwright Jerry Mayer with veteran (and frequent Mayer) director Chris DeCarlo. Original music is by Steve Mayer. The stellar cast features DeCarlo (Author! Author!, Mistakes Were Made), Michael Brunino (The Italians, Tracy Kelly: Siblings Gang), Summer Moran (The Last Spark of Us, Strings Attached), Elena Rosa (The Dropout, L.A.’s Finest). “Watch out, Neil Simon. Jerry Mayer is right behind you!” Profile Magazine 94-year-old playwright Jerry Mayer, who has written for M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Facts of Life (where he was executive producer) and five of Mitzi Gaynor’s TV Specials, never shies away from tackling the big issues and MY LAWYER IS AN ANGEL is no exception. “Chris DeCarlo is a masterful director.” Theatre Scene Chris DeCarlo, Playhouse Co-Artistic Director, has helmed 12 of Mayer’s world premiere comedies. Says DeCarlo, "Experiencing a Jerry Mayer play brings us that much closer to the realization that turning the frown upside down is the best way to navigate through life’s most serious issues, big or small.” Santa Monica Playhouse programs are support in part by generous grants from the We Are Santa Monica Fund, the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, and Playhouse PALS. This is 94-year-old playwright Jerry Mayer’s 13th play – don’t miss it! Sat 7pm, Sun 3pm, June 13 – August 23, 2026

We're excited to see free performances and family-friendly programming activate the Vermont Triangle this summer for Los Feliz residents and visitors alike!” — Councilmember Nithya Raman Quote from Nythia Ramen: “There is no greater joy for us than to make performance and art available to a community, and watch it grow through gathering, participation and momentum, to the point where it has such a life of it's own, PorchfestLA is no longer needed. That is the goal. ” Hélène Udy Porchfest LA has already signed up performers through June, and we are offering supported Sunday Production opportunities to any seasoned producing talent that wants to take the mantle for a Sunday or two. The potential of this space to gain recognition as a safe, family friendly place to spend any given Sunday, thereby contributing to the making of community, at a time were it is most needed is invaluable.

From there, we make our way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Rodeo Drive.

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’ mystique. The tour concludes on Roxbury Drive, once nicknamed the “Street of the Stars,” where legends like Lucille Ball and Jimmy Stewart made their homes.
