The film presents a dark romantic comedy featuring complex characters and a central premise that challenges audience expectations.
In that small 30-block zone last year, there were 486 reported crashes, injuring 76 cyclists, 108 pedestrians (one fatally) and 67 motorists, according to city stats. That's more than a crash every day, injuring more than 250 people.
"As part of this partnership, AEG will undertake comprehensive enhancements to the theater, including upgrades to its stage, sound and lighting systems, lobbies, backstage facilities and additional production-critical areas."
Officer Scott was sort of born by accident. He was a character in a sketch I wrote, written for a male actor, but I always would direct to give more Chris Farley energy to the character. Unfortunately, the actor that was supposed to play Officer Scott became sick the day before the show, but as showrunner and writer of the sketch, I figured I'd buy a costume and perform Scott myself.
The actors bought a gated, traditional-style estate with five bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms in about 6,000 square feet. The home, built in the '50s, has a formal living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with a breakfast area, a bonus room with a fireplace, a loft bedroom that could be used as a playroom or office, and a master bedroom suite with a sitting area.
I've never had such a significant moment around a venue launch. It's the seventh venue we've done, but it has never coincided with such an important creative moment with the band. I have to be very disciplined right now.
Los Angeles is home to more than a dozen one-of-a-kind cinemas that operate on their own terms. Some of these theaters have been around for 100 years, and in classic LA fashion some of them are owned by living LA legends-think Quentin Tarantino and Kyle Ng. Kristen Stewart recently announced she's also jumping into the mix with her purchase of Los Angeles's Highland Theatre.
Although lighting is often an overlooked element by homeowners, Olesker, who trained as an architect, sees lighting design as a "purposeful part of the architectural whole - curbside to poolside." With a team of 18 artisanal craftsmen, his firm manufactures its designs at its factories in Chatsworth and El Monte.
The chic double unit, created by combining two condos, contains three bedrooms, five bathrooms and 4,000 square feet of living space. Features of the updated home include a media room, an office, a den and a terrace. The building, constructed in 1962, has concierge service, 24-hour valet parking and a rooftop pool.
Designed for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, this custom-built contemporary in Studio City has a clean aesthetic with walls of glass, natural tones and a hanging wood staircase. A three-sided fireplace on the main level underscores the free-flowing floor plan, which counts a lounge with a wet bar, mirror televisions and an en suite yoga studio among its features.
In her latest body of work, Hayv Kahraman grapples with the loss of her Altadena home during last year's Eaton Fire. The women in her paintings channel a sense of magic, wonder, and ritual as they contort their bodies or dance across the canvas. Kahraman herself endured the traumatic displacement from her native Iraq as a child during the first Gulf War, and she incorporates symbols from her heritage, such as Sufi talismans and the Anqā, a phoenix-like bird from Arab mythology.
In the 1920s and 1930s, however, this mansion was also well-known to any devoted movie fan in America. For several years following World War I, four movie celebrities lived in the house, one after another. The first of these was the mysterious Theda Bara, the product of one of Hollywood's first high-pressure public relations campaigns.
Everything's super intentional. I wanted every pocket of the space to be not just inspirational but have a story to tell so that when I'm in that space, I'm always reminded of who I am, and how hard I've worked, and what else there is to do.
So another word about tickets. They did finally announce single-game tickets were going on sale, but only for games though June. It's not enough to keep season plans limited to those requiring fans to buy more tickets than they can use, feeding the secondary markets which the Mets also get a cut of, but "make-your-own-plan" fans like me who've reliably occupied seats for decades,
Comedy shows on Broadway are one of the best past times for NYC locals and tourists alike. Ironically, they're some of the most over-looked attractions when it comes to searching for tickets for a Broadway show when they're next to competitors like Hamilton, Sweeney Todd, and Some Like It Hot. If you want to know what Broadway has to offer right now, check out my list of the best current Broadway shows in NYC.
In 1965, an electrifying debate took place at the Cambridge Union Society. The speakers were James Baldwin, an acclaimed American novelist and civil rights activist, and William F. Buckley Jr., a conservative intellectual. The motion debated was 'The American Dream is at the expense of the American Negro'. The overflowing hall was packed to the rafters. Baldwin won the debate by 544 votes to 164. 60 years have passed, yet it echoes down the decades with issues raised still relevant today.
We bought the property in 1974 from the Dudley Murphy estate. In 1979, we sold 10 condos designed (and built in 1939 for Murphy as motel units) by famed architect Richard Neutra. The remaining two lots, which have a total of 83 feet of beach frontage, represent what Stern called the first Escondido Beach Road home sites available to the public in more than 20 years.
Since purchasing the land last year, Oceanwide has reworked the design for the Fig Central development, adding a third tower in the process. The $1-billion project now consists of two 40-story high-rises and another high-rise at 49 stories. In all, 504 condos, 183 hotel rooms and nearly 450,000 square feet of retail space are planned.
At Troubadour, we are driven by a belief in creating extraordinary spaces that inspire artists, audiences, and the stories they come together to share. The 3,000 seat venue is to be built in Greenwich Securing planning permission for the new Troubadour Greenwich Peninsula Theatre marks a major milestone for us, and an exciting new chapter in our commitment to bold, large-scale live performance.
The 31st edition of the LA Art Show is back this week at the downtown Convention Center, more than a month before Frieze, Felix, and Post-Fair roll into town. Although it is LA's longest-running art fair, the show is somewhat of an outcast, snubbed as pedestrian, too commercial, and out of touch with the cutting edge of the global art world. But at the rear of the cavernous exhibition hall, a pair of projects organized by curator Marisa Caichiolo gives visitors a sense of the fair's cultural and political relevance.
