SHE MAKES ME LAUGH Will Return to Caveat
This leap year, She Makes Me Laugh is giving back to our community leaders. In 2019, Trish Nelson, founder of Banter Girl, won a civil suit against Ken Friedman and the Spotted Pig for sexual harassment. Trish and the other plaintiffs were meant to receive 20% of the Spotted Pig's profit moving forward - only for the Spotted Pig to turn around and shut down. Trish and other women are now looking to buy the Spotted Pig. Come and help us build a new type of empire.

LA Philharmonic Fluxus Festival Celebrates The Experimental Interdisciplinary Movement Of The 1960s And 1970s
The LA Phil pays tribute to the experimental and deeply influential Fluxus movement of the 1960s and 1970s with a season-long program of performances and events at Walt Disney Concert Hall and venues throughout Los Angeles, beginning October 14, 2018. An international, anti-establishment movement whose practitioners included artists, composers, designers, and architects, as well as economists, mathematicians, ballet dancers, and others, Fluxus aimed to collapse what it considered the false wall between art and life by emphasizing artistic process over finished product. In a survey curated by American conductor and composer Christopher Rountree, in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute, the often-humorous, frequently challenging music and performances of Fluxus will be featured in a combination of concerts, symposia, and other live events, as well as surprise installations and performances throughout the 2018/19 Centennial season.

Review: Hedda Grabs Ya... For A While
ACT's 'Hedda Gabler,' by Henrik Ibsen and directed by Richard E.T. White, has thrilling first and final acts embodied by concise and professional actors. But somewhere in between, this production may lack the special 'something' to Hedda's schemes.
