SO GOOD: THE GOOD WOMAN OF SETZUAN Review by M.R. Hunter

THE GOOD WOMAN OF SETZUAN At the heart of all our recent economic troubles is greed. Perhaps, in no other time have we witnessed and experienced the awesome and overwhelming devastation of this particular side of human nature. Greed, in all its insidious forms, can lay waste to oceans. It affects jobs. It punishes the many and rewards the few. It dominates our actions. It clouds our good judgment. Greed can make or break a person, a society and left unchecked, threaten the world with terrible consequences. These are the times we live in-where it will lead us is anyone's guess

...let me appeal to your greed...an evening of such outrageous and eclectic entertainment will leave you feeling richer indeed...

GO, GO, GO! THEATRICUM BOTANICUM'S "HAMLET" Review by M.R. Hunter

HAMLET AT THEATRICUM BOTANICUM Riding high from last year's triumphant season, it is fitting then that Theatricum Botanicum tackles the Bard's most challenging but beloved tragedy. A perennial favorite, (both the venue and the play), this no-frills version avoids any emotional excess or psychological wallowing...

DOWNTOWN TURNS ON
THE POWER THIS WEEKEND

NEON ART Check out the Arts District Art Walk this Saturday, 2-8pm. This is a self-guided tour of the artist studios, art galleries and exhibition spaces within the Arts District, Toy District and Little Tokyo areas of Downtown L.A.  A shuttle bus will be available to transport visitors to 60 artist studios.  Stop by the Likich Studio (704 Traction ave. ) to see some very fine neon art.  This stop alone makes the event worth going to.  

After the art walk you can hop on the Muesum of Neon Art's (MONA) Neon Cruise at 7:30 pm or stop into MONA for the opening reception of three new exhibits and meet the artists (8-10:30 pm). After that head to the Support A Starving Artist Supershow at Lot 613 for lots of music by the Whisky Saints and others. 

Friday & Saturday flower power lights up the Colliseum and Expo Park at this year's Electric Daisy Carnival.  Art, music, amusements and more for the hearty to party.

  UCLA LIVE - THE WORLD JUST SHRUNK... 
by Kelly Hargraves
THIS WEEK IN DANCEI have often felt LA dance was "covered" with UCLA Live presenting extraordinary foreign companies, Dance at the Music Centre presenting the American icons, REDCAT keeping the cutting edge sharp, and of course all the local choreographers doing their own things around town.

But now, the times they are achangin' at UCLA Live, as the ground-breaking Artistic Director David Sefton exits stage right, and what is left is uncertainty about who and what will fill the stages in upcoming seasons...

  EYESTROLOGY
LET THE STARS HELP YOU DECIDE WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK 
by Cici Psy-Chic
EYESTROLOGYHappy birthday Cancer babies! You've come a long way this month in fulfilling your goals and now it's time to reflect on all of your accomplishments. Unlike other signs that use their birthdays as an excuse to party, you'll carve out some quiet time alone on your special day. Expect an outburst of conflicting emotions this weekend with Mercury heading into your sign on the 25th. The lunar eclipse on Saturday could entice you to reveal your true feelings to someone only to regret having said too much later. Avoid pillow talk or those sweet-nothings will quickly turn sour...
