Treat Dad to Food, Films, Festivals & a Classic Car Ride w/ Root Beer
|
This Sunday is Father's Day! Make it extra special and memorable by doing fun activities with dear old Dad or take him out to events he'll enjoy (and the whole family too). It's an action-packed weekend and a lot of outside-of-the-box things to do for Dad or anyone.
FATHER FOODIE: A way to your Dad's heart is through his stomach and these are delicious.
FATHER FESTIVE: Get dear old Dad off the Barcalounger and into some fabulous festivals.
FATHER FUN: If Dad is the creative type, then he'll go wild over these artsy offerings.
FATHER FIT: Get your Dad feeling fine by doing something physical and fascinating.
TAKE YOUR PICK: WINNER'S CHOICE THEATER GIVEAWAYS: We are giving away 4 pairs of tickets to see either "Lear" on Sunday, June 22 or "All's Well That Ends Well" on Saturday, June 21 at The Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon.
Ellen Geer takes on the title role of Lear in a new production that sees the title figure divide her kingdom and test the loyalty of her three sons. Shakespeare's sublime poetry infuses this towering tragedy, a tale of madness, tyranny, loyalty and love.
In "All's Well..." The orphaned daughter of a famous physician, Helena heals the king and wins the right to marry the man she loves - a count above her station. But no one is prepared for the severity and ruthlessness of Bertram's rejection of Helena as his royally-decreed wife, nor with the lengths Helena is prepared to go to in order to win his love.
Discover Theatricum Botanicum's spectacular outdoor amphitheater nestled in the heart of Topanga Canyon. Theatricum has been named "One of the 50 Coolest Places in Los Angeles" by Buzz magazine, "One of Southern California's most beguiling theater experiences" by Sunset, and "Best Theater in the Woods" by the LA Weekly. Join them this summer as Theatricum celebrates the Bard's 450th Birthday with an All-Shakespeare Season. This is truly one of the summer theater companies you don't want to miss!
