In Venice…
Come by Venice Arts Sunday June 1st, from 1-4pm for another exciting adult Drop in Media Storytelling Workshops!
This yearlong series is part of the Community Story Lab, a new program for adults that mirrors the depth of learning and arts engagement in our programs for youth! The Drop in Labs are free for low-income adults.
Led by media artists Michelle Glass, Andrea Dominguez & Paige Tighe, each month will present a new theme and approach to media-based storytelling.
The theme for June’s Drop In Lab is: Photo Detour. Participants will explore the outdoors and perform site-specific actions to engage in the community. Working in teams, they will document their partner’s actions using a hand-held digital camera. Participants will be given a kit that will include materials and color coded instructions prompting them to do, take, or touch.
Programs are FREE for low-income adults, but an advance RSVP is preferred. Please RSVP here.

The Geffen presents “Death of the Author” in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater.
Directed by Bart DeLorenzo and written by Steven Drukman, the show features Orson Bean, Austin Butler, David Clayton Rogers & Lyndon Smith.
With a world of knowledge just a smart phone away, is there still such a thing as an original idea?
When a young professor suspects a student of plagiarism, his inquiry sparks a chain of events affecting the lives of four people in very real terms. Drukman’s beautifully drawn characters must navigate heartbreak, blind ambition and the cutthroat competition that thrives within these ivy-covered walls. Extending beyond post-modern literature and academic rigors, this smart, funny and engrossing world premiere becomes a personal battle to decide what is right, what is wrong and what must be done.
The show runs May 20 – June 29, 2014
Tickets range from $67 to $72. Click Here to purchase tickets.
