SPRING OUT & ABOUT
 Clearly it is time to trade strolling the streets for trekking the trails. It's time to drive slowly along bucolic byways instead of creeping along clogged urban arteries. Green hillsides and the aromatic blooms of spring beckon us out.
Call the California Wildflower Hotline to find out where to find them, learn about native plants - take the 7th Annual Theodore Payne Native Plant Garden Tour, learn about wildflowers at Franklin Canyon, visit local parks and gardens, or take a walk or hike on one of the many trails located in Griffith Park or the Santa Monica Mountains.
Check the Parks & Gardens page for more blooming events and places to go or the Recreation page for walks and hikes.
OTHER THINGS TO DO: Go see Hitchcock set to organ music at UCLA Live, go on a CityRace Urban Adventure Hunt at El Pueblo, or go Dancing with the Scholars to raise scholarship funds at UCLA.

LIKE A GOOD WINE, "LASCIVIOUS SOMETHING" AT [INSIDE] THE FORD PLAYS ON THE SENSES
Review by M.R. Hunter
Sheila Callaghan's sensually provocative new play, like a fine wine must be inhaled, swished about upon reflection and savored slowly to enjoy all the richness in this full-bodied dramedy.
Superficially, it is a story about love and ideals tempered by age. Underneath, however, runs a current of mythological themes, playing on a Dionysian framework set in a burgeoning vineyard on a far off Greek isle where a new wine is being cultivated. The wine will be too sweet, but the story is anything but.
The only fault with Callaghan and Circle X's world premiere is that there is almost too much to be absorbed, but its powerful images linger in memory long after seeing it... |

Any way you look at it, the Hubbard Street Dance Company is bringing some big name clout to the stage this weekend at the Music Center. So, I need not do more than name drop! Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's new artistic director Glenn Edgerton has created quite a program for their West Coast tour, that is another example of their exuberant, athletic and innovative repertoire...
