    Geffen Playhouse - Seeing DRAGON MAMA

    Geffen Playhouse

    A hidden gem. Let's jump right into this review…read more The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles is a renowned, non-profit theater known for intimate productions of classic and contemporary plays, new works, and educational programs. Two main spaces, the 500-seat Gil Cates Theater and the smaller Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theater. My son and I attended a play - Table 17 and sat in the balcony box of the Gil Cates Theater. Box seats $139pp Pros 1. Very nice venue. An intimate space with every seat being a good seat. Great acoustics also. 2. Bathrooms are clean and grounds are well-kept. 3. Small bar area that sells food items and drink, including alcohol. 4. Patio area and seating in the lobby if you arrive early. Doors usually open 1 hour before showtime. Theater doors open 30 minutes before curtain time. Cons 1. Parking can be a challenge but not impossible. Metered street parking. Use the text to pay function because you can add additional time from your phone and receive reminders via text when your time is about to expire. There are also paid parking lots within walking distance. Prices will vary. I was impressed with Geffen Playhouse and will definitely be back. BTW - Table 17 was an amazing play - funny, thought provoking, and an attention grabber.

    This is such a lovely theater nestled in the heart of Westwood village, conveniently located right…read moreacross the street from UCLA! I have seen so many amazing plays here over the years and recently saw the play, "Master Harold"...and the boys and it was just as fantastic as I imagined it would be! It was very well acted and directed with a gorgeous set design. I really felt transported to another time while watching the play! The lobby and courtyard are gorgeous and while they are small and get crowded quickly, they are still enjoyable to relax before or after the play! We came on a Sunday thinking there would be complimentary wine (which there definitely used to be!), but sadly it seems they have discontinued this. The seats were comfy and pretty spacious and since the theaters are smaller here, every seat offers a great view. The sound amplifies well throughout the theater. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Parking can be a little tricky in the area but they do have a lot next door! We were able to find a free spot a few blocks away in the neighborhood! There's lots of restaurants nearby to dine at before or after the show as well! I cannot wait to return soon to see another play here!

A lot of opera students study here, and they also offer exam preparation. The Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles promotes Italian culture in the USA. They organize and support special events, exhibitions, and festivals, aid in the publication of Italian works, and advance the study of the Italian language. It's housed in a striking modernist building designed in 1963 by Robert E. Alexander, a contemporary of Richard Neutra. The building used to be the UCLA International Student Center. The colored illumination at night is especially stunning.

Los Angeles hosts the likes of Japan Foundation, Göthe Institut, Alliance Français. Through the sponsorship of Los Angeles Times' Food Bowl for the month of May at such places as Shibumi where master Sushi chef Kōji Kimura aged fish for Sushi & Sashimi that amplified the complexity of Umami multifold,  I was introduced to another government sponsored cultural organization, the Italian Cultural Institute of L.A. in the heart of Westwood Village. Istituto Italiano di Cultura has classes in Italian language, cookIng, events in art, fashion, regional food & wine appreciation, music, opera, theatre, movies, etc. There is gallery space in which to feature contemprary artists from all over Italy. There is also an outdoor patio space where all the action took place on May 30, 2019 that featured cuisine from Emilia-Romagna, home to Prosciutto di Parma, Aceto Balsamico di Modena, Parmigiano Reggiano. Guide Michelin starred chef, Luigi Fineo, and wine historian, raconteur, consummate sommelier Giammario Villa presided over this sumptuous degustazione con vini e piatti. 1) Erbazzone Emiliano alle Bietole: Bietole/Swiss Chard, wild onion braised in broth & finely puréed lookIng dark green sandwiched between leathery, rustic millefeuille scented by premium quality, fragrant butter, golden brown on top that became creamy as one chewed leaving a pronounced dairy sweetness. 1a) Rimosso Ancestrale DOC (Denomiazione d'Origine Controllata) Lambrusco by Cantina della Volta (100% Sarbara): Scent of wild cherry, red lipstick waxy, light woodiness. Taste of agrodolce, acidic, touch bitter, sour cherry, chalky, dry. Soupçon of frizzante/fizziness. Such complexity comes from its being unfiltered looking like a murky, bright crimson cloud still full of yeast & must. 2) Piadina Romagnola Crescenza e Prosciutto di Parma Rambela IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tìpica) Ravenna: Two thick, finely grained dry textured, grilled flour "tortilla" half moons sandwiching porky, salty, air dried, aged Prosciutto slathered with viscous cream cheese. 2a) "Rambela" Ravenna Bianco IGT by Randi Vini (100% Famoso): Deep golden glowing yellow like the legendary golden fleece. Fragrances of citron, faint baked flour & butteriness perhaps due to Malolactic fermentation. It's like drinking golden liquid Panettone. Bit astringent, citrusy, acidic to clear the palate. 3) Ravioli di Zucca Parmigiano, Burro e Salvia: Soft, pillowy Ravioli stuffed w/ soft mush of sweet, earthy squash. Dressed w/ the same sweet, dairy scented butter & earthy, dusky, herbal, fresh sage leaf dusted by ground sweet, woody, medicinal nutmeg. 3a) Rosa Ceparano IGT Romagna Rosato by Fattoria Zerbina (100% Sangiovese): Clean, neutral subliminal scent. Extra dry, astringent, touch skunky, bitter wild strawberry, raspberry. Good clean sharp contrast to all the soft, mellow tones of the pasta to awaken the palate. 4) Brasato di Manzo al Sangiovese: Slow cooked "chuck" beef in rich broth & Sanviovese red wine well noted for an undertone taste of tar, creosote, green wood as well as sweet dark fruitiness & acidity. Texture is moist, grainy, stringy, lush. The au jus is swirled in w/ ultra soft, buttery mashed potato. 4a) Antitesti IGT Ravenna Rosso by Fattoria Zerbina (50% Sangiovese 50% Merlot): Plummy, dark cherry, tasting of juicy blackberry, blueberry, oaky, woody, cigar, "moth ball", agrodolce. 5) Ternerina al Cioccolato e Pistacchio (pees tah kee oh): For want of a better word, it's a brownie topped w/ a dollop of heavy whip cream, scattering of pistacchio, powdered sugar looking like fresh fallen snow. 5a) Antitesti paired well w/ this simple chocolate dessert. Thanks to gracious, hospitable, welcoming Ina Cohen of Istituto Italiano who notified me of a last minute open seat to this elegant already fully booked soirée. Love the tales of history, tradition, culture, legends, myths, facts relating to food & wine of Italia by Master Taster Giammario Villa. This Istituto Italiano di Cultura L.A. Times Food Bowl Cena al fresco was hyper educational full of 5 star, sophisticated Vita Dolce.

    Here is my ode to good ol' Broad. (Yes; ode and Broad rhyme.)…read more The façade | Spectacular. White, teak, steel, glass, all the benchmark components of a building dedicated to art. The "T.E.U.C.L.A." Serra sculpture is the first to be on permanent view in a public space in Southern California. Proximity to the Sculpture Garden provides this looming, structured, clinical building balance with good ol' nature. And more art. The interior | Clean, no-nonsense, spacious. Classrooms are very easy to find. The fourth floor, for Design | Media Arts, has a "lobby" that serves as a game room with a ping pong table and about three game controllers. The balcony (4th floor) | Very cute cacti and succulents on show atop the teak beams, serving as a sort of shelf. It's pretty precarious, but I haven't seen a thing fall yet. Untitled, | The second floor houses a small overpriced café called Untitled,. The comma just compounds on the pretense? or the artsiness? the inflated prices already convey pretty well. The Shoot Room | If I could live here, trust me--I would. Lights, check. Softbox, check. Dem Canon DSLRs, check. Five backgrounds to choose, check. Photogasm, check... EDA | Stands for Experimental Digital Arts. Basically small but well-equipped exhibition room with a large projection screen for showcasing.

    How many hundreds of times have I driven by the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center? It has been…read moremany years, way back to the time there was a pottery store on the property. I finally had a chance to visit for a Tarzana Music Night last week. What a fun event! Because the weather was being forecasted to be cool with the potential of rain, the event was held indoors. Things were comfortable, but we were in close quarters with the other attendees. The sound was great and the performances were a lot of fun. I was primarily there to see a good friend perform, but I also had the chance to see some other talented musicians. I think each one was a singer songwriter, and I enjoyed each performance. Each one of the people that was working at the venue, which I imagine may have been on a volunteer basis, was friendly and a lot of fun. Normally the music nights are held outdoors, and I can imagine that most of the year, it is a lot of fun being in the open air.

    What a cool place I never knew was here! Check out their events on their website! If you write them…read morethey will write you back too. They have a small outdoor stage with string lights hanging beautifully all around, a few picnic tables and fold out chairs for when there's an event to watch. When the chairs aren't there I imagine thats what they use for the outdoor dance floor under the stars, too! A few people brought their dogs on leash. I saw a few people brought in their own food, chilled out and ate while they watched the live band. They do have a very small amount of drinks, chips, and cookies for sale at a stand but thats it so if you don't want junk food def bring what you do want. They do have an indoor bathroom. PARKING - Def uber/LYFT to them. There are only a few spots in the back you can get to from the side street (not from Ventura blvd) and thats it! So do yourself a favor and get a ride. Lyft must know about this place because the driver knew exactly where to meet us in the back when we booked our return. For us it was a calm but fun summer evening hang outside! I don't know what its like without a band playing but hope I get a chance to check that out too.
