Calendar of Events in Los Angeles

Given their jam-packed treasure box of pop-rock smasheroos, it'd be hard for the reunited Fleetwood Mac to disappoint their legions of fans, now wouldn't it? The core unit of drummer-founder Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, guitarist-singer Lindsay Buckingham and vocalist Stevie Nicks will focus on the group's midperiod to later material, including all that Rumours stuff and most likely a...

L.A.'s improv community assembles again for the second annual Los Angeles Indie Improv Festival. The one-day, 12-hour event will be jam-packed with laughs as more than 125 improv groups perform across three stages in Hollywood. The festival is produced by indie comedy shows Crashbar Improv, the Manifesto Show, Room 101, Tuesday Night Thunder and the 11th Hour show, who joined forces to create...

An army of 500 "guerrilla knitters" from the world of craft and crochet spanning all 50 states and 25 countries has been working hard since October, amassing an arsenal of more than 12,000 five-inch yarn panels. Their mission? To "bomb" the Craft and Folk Art Museum. "CAFAM: Granny Squared" is essentially a homemade quilt for the whole building. But as followers of the Yarn Bombers know, it's...

-
In the early days of punk rock, two different bands with the same name emerged. Making things more confusing, both groups were fiercely radical, with ultra-leftist politics and lyrics, and both were massively influential in the punk underground in their own strikingly different ways. The Canadian version of Subhumans actually started a year or two earlier, in the late 1970s, but their British... Read more about this event >>
-
DJ and culture curator Gilles Peterson has what the pros call a "real sweet gig": Go strolling around the world, pry undiscovered and awesome records out of attics, dollar bins and possibly shipwrecks, then play them for audiences and stand back and smile at the fireworks as minds across the world explode. (Foodies, this is our Anthony Bourdain.) Peterson's Digs America compilations on Luv n'... Read more about this event >>
-
In Sausalito-based artist Christiane Lyon's oil paintings, on view at MJ Briggs Gallery on Fairfax, quirky cultural references dissolve into loose gestures. At the top of Tinman, for example, Lyon has rendered a very flat, boldly colored Orthodox view of Jesus breaking bread with his disciples, but the figures then merge with loosely drawn skeleton figures, and by the bottom of the page, all...

-
With this spirited production of Jacobean playwright John Ford's 1629 family tragedy 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, director Miranda Stewart shows that less is indeed sometimes better. At the play's center is the incestuous relationship between siblings Giovanni (Jonny Rodgers) and Annabella (Hannah Skye Wenzel), whose forbidden love, like that of the more celebrated Romeo and Juliet, comes with a...

As their overly obscure Live Shepperton 1980 album ably demonstrates, The Damned were one of first-generation Brit punk's most compelling concert draws. Raucous and irreverent yet musically deft, they were capable of everything from confrontational, violence-inciting chants to meandering instrumental adventures. Though that was a long time and many members ago, half of the band's classic... Read more about this event >>
-
It's up for debate whether James Turrell is a sculptor, painter, architect, Light and Space artist or earthwork artist. We vote for all of the above, and more. But however you cast your ballot, you can't help but be a fan of Turrell's transcendent Skyspaces -- specially built rooms (and sometimes mountaintop craters) designed to bounce natural light around in affecting ways. Despite being... Read more about this event >>

Step away from the hot dog and hamburger buns! Something far more interesting awaits you this Memorial Day weekend as Street serves up Korean fare from chefs Susan Feniger and Kajsa Alger at Korean BBQ of Giant Proportions. If you're a Food Network fan and cookbook connoisseur, you'll recognize Feniger's name. First known for her restaurants with Mary Sue Milliken, including Santa Monica's...

-
Artist Shinique Smith traveled from New York to Los Angeles a few times this winter and spring to meet with students at Charles White Elementary School, to talk to them about her work and to invite them to help her make one of her hanging sculptures: fabrics mashed together, then suspended to look like unwieldy creatures. LACMA's education department spearheaded this effort, called... Read more about this event >>
-
New Orleans–based trumpeter Christian Scott has been charting his own path since being "discovered" by major label Concord Jazz in 2005. Scott's bent trumpet is reminiscent of the late great Dizzy Gillespie's but is of his own custom design. Scott also has been one of the few young jazz musicians consistently noted for his fashion choices, even making it into international editions of... Read more about this event >>

Echo Park-based trio Gothic Tropic join Chris Douridas' distinguished School Night to showcase their quirky psych-pop. Currently recording the full-length follow-up to their 2011 Awesome Problems EP, the group's instinctive, down-to-earth mindset carries into their music, establishing a pleasantly unpretentious vibe. The synthesis of surf punk and an ambient punchline, Gothic Tropic's... Read more about this event >>
-
The third annual Walk for Warriors 5K run/walk, produced by nonprofit New Directions, assists homeless veterans. This Memorial Day is the perfect day not only to commemorate their sacrifice but also to show those who served that you are there in the morning, on a holiday, to honor them with your trot and/or stroll. Veterans from our most recent wars are among the quickest to become homeless... Read more about this event >>
-
Troy Walker is one of the Los Angeles music underworld's most gleefully infernal practitioners. This rafter-rattling, big-voiced, outrageous, gender-bending entertainer first flipped wigs along the Sunset Strip some 50 years ago, when his fans included Gregory Peck, Ethel Merman and Elvis Presley. This mad, rad showstopper still delivers enough voltage to jolt you into the next dimension.... Read more about this event >>
-
Stephen Prina's show at LACMA, called "As He Remembered It," is full of built-ins -- built-in bookshelves, closets, cabinets, counters. Prina had these made to replicate built-ins from houses built by architect R.M. Schindler in the 1930s. This means they have a spare, midcentury refinement to them -- or, rather, you can imagine that they would have if Prina hadn't severed them from the rooms... Read more about this event >>

If there's one thing you should take away from watching (or reading) the fantastic play The Vagina Monologues, it should be this: Eve Ensler does not shy away from talking about the female body. The playwright and author gets even more personal in her memoir, In the Body of the World, sharing not only her discovery of horrific, violent acts against women in the Republic of Congo but also her...

-
Among Mozart's most famous chamber works are his six "Haydn" quartets, dedicated to the great Franz Josef Haydn. Mozart referred to these gems as "my six children," and he was a proud and happy father. The quartets were the product of perhaps the sunniest time in his life -- his prolific "Vienna Period," when the 28-year-old wunderkind was at the peak of his energy and creativity. The Quartet...

-
When Elisabeth Corrin Maurus first came to attention with early releases Catching a Tiger and EP Why You Runnin', her folk-pop songs had a restlessly rootsy intimacy. Lissie's arrangements were relatively stripped down, moving from stark country folk to more overtly poppy settings. At her best, Lissie revealed unexpectedly moving and poignant revelations into her heart. On her new single,... Read more about this event >>
-
Before William Wegman became famous for wryly photographing his dog, a Weimaraner named Man Ray, he'd accumulated an equally wry series of self-portraits. A number of vintage black-and-white prints of Wegman's photographs from the 1970s, all of them paired with text, currently hangs at Marc Selywn Fine Art. In one, called, As a Joke ..., a man wearing a plain white T-shirt sits in a... Read more about this event >>
-
For this critic August Wilson has always been eloquent on the page, a bit wordy on the stage. This second in his 10-play chronicle of the African-American experience takes place in 1911, a bare 46 years after the Civil War ended. Wilson's vibrant characters are searching — for love, money, personal freedom or healing and spiritual salvation. Some, like boardinghouse owners Seth (Keith... Read more about this event >>

Van Dyke Parks is the celebrated arranger-pianist best known for his collaborations with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, although he's also worked with everyone from Tim Buckley to Frank Zappa and has attempted to create his own hybrid of distinctively American pop and classical forms. Tonight the focus will be just as much on Parks' frequent musical partner, Inara George, who'll coo songs... Read more about this event >>
-
One of their best songs was "This Is Rock & Roll," but Belgium's Kids were as punk as it gets -- especially on their first two, relentless 1978 LPs, which matched The Damned's velocity with Ramones-style, punch-in-the-gut riffs. Ludo Mariman was more a flamethrower than a singer, and whether it was a king, a cop, a Nazi, an old DJ or just persistent youth unemployment, he was against it with... Read more about this event >>
-
One imperfectly painted silver canvas with tie-dyed pink cloth loosely attached to its surface angles across another silver canvas in the basement of Charlie James Gallery. The middles of both canvases are cut open to reveal unsubstantial wood supports beneath. Artist William Powhida calls this kind of art "Informalism," as the note -- or rather, the realistic rendering of a note drawn on a... Read more about this event >>
-
The title Cops and Friends of Cops references the raucous "cops only" night held monthly at the tumbledown St. Louis bar in Ron Klier's suspenseful drama. While Dom (Paul Vincent O'Connor) prepares the bar for the night's guests, he is joined by the shabby-looking Paul (Johnny Clark), who insists on staying, in spite of Dom's repeated warnings that "the place is slammed with cops" and his...

For the last year or so, longtime Los Angeles merchant Billy Shire has been presenting a "21st-century salon" at his monthly Thursday Night Fish Fry & Community Social, featuring poetry, performances and music. The 14th edition, "The Literary Event," promises memorably unhinged prose to boot. It's spearheaded by badass tattoo artist/author Jonathan Shaw, a get-around cat whose wild rep... Read more about this event >>
-
Spanish producer John Talabot exists in a sort of DJ-world sweet spot, having earned the respect of critics and peers (ahem, James Murphy) and the admiration of dance-music audiophiles while maintaining a position as an innovator of the electro-world underground. An established scene hero in his native Barcelona, Talabot's name became far more internationally esteemed with the release of his... Read more about this event >>
-
Few materials are weirder and tackier than kitchen laminate, the kind you put on countertops to give them that faux-something look. London-based artist Steven Claydon uses laminate liberally in his new show at David Kordansky Gallery. He uses greenish and brown varieties on his frames and pedestals, and its smooth, new surfaces suggest the kind of luxury purportedly offered by bland new... Read more about this event >>
-
Stella Valente Wilkins' brashly titled production about the redemptive power of dance sounds both too specific and too vaguely feel-goodish to make an effective premise. But since its debut workshop at last year's Hollywood Fringe festival, the solo show has tightened into a charming narrative fueled by Wilkins' self-deprecating charisma and sinuous, high-heeled grooving. An early dose of ADD... Read more about this event >>
-
Jose Gonzalez's voice is more recognizable than the singer himself. With his group, Junip, the Swedish (by way of Argentina) troubadour's signature hollow tenor expands its folktronic reach. Bandmates Tobias Winterkorn's dark synthesizers and Elias Araya's understated percussion bring layers of definition, but it is still Gonzalez's haunting tones and his expressive guitar that are the...

A few folks short of a flash mob but in much the same spirit, Coffeehouse Dances are choreographer Keith Glassman's roving dance events: part spontaneous, part planned hourlong performances that erupt in independent coffeehouses. The target sites are announced ahead of time, but as with flash mobs, most of the delighted audience just happens to be sipping their lattes when the dancing begins.... Read more about this event >>
-
If "beach punk" is a thing now, Long Beach's Tijuana Panthers are something like … "old-school beach punk." The group is a modern match for the Posh Boy bands of the late '70s who pulled California punk closer to pop music than any artist before had. But the Panthers' brand-new LP, Semi-Sweet, finds the group exercising the rest of their record collections, as songs like "Father... Read more about this event >>
-
As the daughter of country rock & blues musician Chris Whitley and the vocalist for Daniel Lanois' Black Dub project, Trixie Whitley pairs a youthful yet worldly outlook with big-lunged capabilities. Her debut solo album, Fourth Corner, showcases thick and rich vocal acrobatics, and features Whitley changing musical styles as often as she changes keys. Whether it's torch-song blues on "Never... Read more about this event >>
-
Much like last month's staged reading of the 1936 movie Reefer Madness, The Realest Real Housewives at Upright Citizens Brigade aims to seriously spoof the almost spoof-proof reality TV franchise. The cast, including Casey Wilson (Happy Endings), Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) and June Diane Raphael (web series Burning Love), as well as Danielle Schneider, Jessica St. Clair and Morgan...

A green vinyl sign above the security desk at the Getty Center asks, "Is a museum for everyone?" Another sign affixed to the floor in the rotunda at the top of the main stairs asks, "Is a museum fun?" These and other questions are part of L.A. artist Sam Durant's #isamuseum project. The idea is that visitors will answer, either on Twitter on their phones, later on the website or by going up... Read more about this event >>
-
On this night the Santa Monica Museum of Art opens three new shows, a slate of related events and a unique residency project -- worth braving Bergamot Station's big dig for. The main gallery not only hosts but is totally transformed by the collages, drawings, paintings, sculptural installation and site-specific murals of "Joyce Pensato: I KILLED KENNY." Pensato's dark, gothic, enormous and... Read more about this event >>
-
Boys will be boys and men will be men, though the distinction between the two is more likely one of personal income rather than emotional maturity. Or so it is with the three middle-aged children (Dennis Delsing, Jon Amirkhan and Gregg Christie) who explore their frayed adult bonds in this engaging revival of playwright Lee Wochner's poignant 1996 comedy. Part of Moving Arts' "20/20 Vision,"... Read more about this event >>
