Are you ready? The Westchester Family YMCA is partnering with the So. California Earthquake Center at USC and RomaScope on a FREE, family-friendly, community-wide event to educate guests on the 7-steps to earthquake preparedness, to inspire them to take action to secure their households and businesses. The event will take the form of a Hollywood movie premier, and feature the Westchester premier of "Quake Heroes", a one hour documentary focused on survivor stories from the Northridge quake of 30 years ago and what people can do now to prepare for the inevitable "Big One."
A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER is the Tony Award-winning knock-'em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season. When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind… It’s a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs, and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways.
Loyola Marymount University's iconic Sacred Heart Chapel will glow with a colorful and spiritual display of animation set to live music during free night-time events Dec. 3-5, 2023, on the Westchester campus. "Anima Mundi / Soul of the World," celebrates the 50th anniversary of the merger of Loyola University and Marymount College. All performances are open to the community and start at 7 p.m. outside the chapel at 1 LMU Drive, Los Angeles, 90045. "Anima Mundi," described as "art in motion," was created by LMU's Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination and conceptualized by Director José García Moreno. The creative team used 2D/3D animation, photogrammetry, 3D printing, and high-definition video mapping projection to produce a film that explores the elements of spirituality universal to all people. Spectators will enjoy live music composed by LMU President Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D., with participation by a 60-member choir directed by John Flaherty while the film is projected onto the Sacred Heart Chapel walls.
