EARNEST: LIVE IN HD BRINGS BROADWAY TO L.A.  by M.R. Hunter

 

EARNEST

With the acclaimed Broadway revival of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," starring and directed by Brian Bedford, ending its run a week earlier than announced, on June 26, theatergoers still have a rare opportunity to see this Tony-nominated gem before its too late.

 

If you haven't booked your airline reservation yet, don't fret as L.A. Theatre Works in conjunction with Roundabout Theatre Company is bringing Earnest to an earnest audience in selected theaters across the country. Los Angeles recently enjoyed its first screenings of this Tony-nominated masterpiece at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television: James Bridges Theater with its state-of-the art technology and acoustics. Its serendipitous then that on the same night "Earnest" is expected to close on the Great White Way will also be the last screening of Earnest: HD for those who might otherwise miss this brilliant production...

THE HIDDEN GEM (AT LEAST IT WAS TO ME) THAT IS THE FIX BURGER  
by Abby Abanes

 

FIX BURGERS

When it comes to gourmet burgers in LA, I've had my share of some truly tasty ones from Father's Office to Umami Burgers to even an off menu burger from Jitlada. All these aforementioned places are already well-known in LA, so it was nice when my friend, Mary, introduced me to a burger place that's a little more under the radar; yet, served some pretty darn good burgers. I'm talking about The Fix Burger...
