Al Fresco LA - Summer Outdoor Entertainment 2013 by Andrea Kirk | |
Summer in L.A. is all about the experience and not so much about the money. Grab your friends and a cooler, a blanket, and a picnic. You'll find plenty of summer events and low cost al fresco entertainment all over town.
Some of the best things in summer are free. Look around you're own neighborhood. You'll find free concerts, film screenings and theatre in parks, shopping centers, museums, and other nooks and crannies that have a patch of grass or some asphalt to setup a stage and some seating in...

Peter Mac Fills Judy Garland's Ruby Slippers by M.R. Hunter
| |
It takes an hour for Peter Mac to become the physical incarnation of Judy Garland. It only takes five minutes into his performance to appreciate how close we are to the genuine article. This isn't just a tribute-it is a summoning. Judy lives for those who still believe in the magic of Oz.
Accuracy is tantamount to Peter's tribute artistry. His passion for his subject matter fuels his desire to know more through extensive homework and practice. Nothing is glossed over. His "Get Happy" show is probably bar none one of the best in terms of the details, the biography and the revelations leveled with care throughout. Think you know all there is to know about Judy? Think again. If it is possible to hold a PhD in Judy Garland, Peter Mac should receive an honorary degree...

It's Easy to Just Imagine Tim Piper as John Lennon by M.R. Hunter
| |
Accuracy and faithful characterization grounds his performance with authenticity but it is Piper's musical ability as a vocalist and guitarist that keeps fans returning to his show and attracts younger audiences discovering Lennon for the first time apart from their parents LP's. "We get people who grew up with The Beatles. They were those teenagers watching The Ed Sullivan Show. Some of them never saw The Beatles or Lennon in concert, so now they can revisit their youth through our show..."

All in the Family: The Geers in "The Royal Family" by M.R. Hunter | |
Those unacquainted with Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum are in for a rare treat and an informal introduction to the relations as artistic director Ellen Geer (Will Geer's daughter) plays matriarch Fanny Cavendish with her sister Melora Marshall as Fanny's daughter Julie. Ellen's daughter Willow plays Melora's daughter Gwen and Abby Craden, is perfectly cast as both she and her character Kitty are related by marriage. Add in the kin by association with Alan Blumenfeld, Aaron Hendry and Earnestine Phillips in supporting roles with Susan Angelo directing and the adage "keeping it in the family" springs to mind throughout...

Travel is recommended for most signs. Expect snafus and delays due to Mercury's Retrograde. Keep a cool head for the next three weeks as the temperature rises and emotions get heated. Channel your energy into low risk physical activities for now. Personal and professional matters may require further finesse as well. Avoid initiating any new projects until August. This is a good time to journal, think-tank or spitball new ideas. Pay attention to dreams and your intuition too. This retrograde will not be imperceptibly felt, so utilize the arising problems as lesson tune-ups.
