Countdown to Election Day 2024
April 11, 2018, 7:30pm.
Parking available in the New Roads lot next to the theater as well as street parking. Your ticket(s) will be mailed to you by Brown Paper Tickets.
Ticket: $20 (General Admission)
Really Special Deal! $38: 1 General Admission ticket with one copy of Cathy Guisewite’s Fifty Things That Aren’t My Fault
The wonderful cartoon, “Cathy”, ran for 34 years in over 1400 newspapers across the country. Millions of women turned to “Cathy” first thing in the morning for her potent dose of satire, advice, commentary and wisdom on what it means to be a woman. She crossed generational lines and her cartoons were relevant to just about any woman, any age. “Cathy” made us laugh about diets, dating, family, struggles at the office, and just about every conceivable challenge a woman could and would face on a daily basis.
We can relax now because Cathy has come back, and we the reader enjoy a fuller take on her wit, wisdom and observation. Her new book, Fifty Things That Aren’t My Fault, is one of the most anticipated books of 2019, and touches on much of what Cathy our cartoon heroine dealt with, but with the benefit of great depth. In her new collection of essays, Cathy Guisewite moves the conversation towards what it means to be an aging woman, with aging parents, downsizing (in all sorts of ways), and a great deal more. Cathy Guisewite distilled so much about life into a cartoon panel or two with a few strokes of pencil and a great caption. In her new wonderful collection, imagine how much more she gives us to thing about, and to laugh at.
In conversation with actress Beth Grant. Beth is a character actor known for her portrayal of eccentric characters, whether on the Mindy Project as Beverly, or in scores of other television shows and films. She has appeared in three Oscar- winning Best Pictures: The Artist, No Country for Old Men, and Rain Man.
ALL BOOKS MUST BE PICKED UP AT THE EVENT. WE DO NOT MAIL OR HOLD BOOKS.
Your ticket(s) will be mailed to the shipping address you listed. If you do not receive your ticket(s) in the mail, please contact Brown Paper Tickets at support@brownpapertickets.com.

LA is home to 10 million people — we’re larger than all but 8 states. LA faces huge challenges. Several City Council offices are under investigation for corruption. Students and teachers suffer from massive underfunding of our education system. More than 52,765 human beings are homeless. The good news? You have immense power to make a difference in your own backyard.
LA Forward is here to help. We organize people to stand with marginalized communities so that we can hold local elected officials accountable and pass policies that create a better Los Angeles for everyone.
LA Forward is an incredible organization devoted to mobilizing and organizing on a local level. Founder, David Levitus has been giving a tutorial on Local Politics to all the local activist groups and they have raved, and claim they wish it had gone on longer! Now it’s our turn to learn how our crazy-crazy-awesome city works and how we can help make it better. Join us to learn more and get involved..
At the end, we’ll ask for donations to support LA Forward. We invite you to give at whatever level matches your excitement!

Robert Caro in Conversation with Conan O’Brien
When: April 16, 2019, 7:30pm.
Where: Temple Emanuel, 8844 Burton Way Beverly Hills, CA 90211.
Ticket: $20 (General Admission), $ 38 with signed copy of Caro’s new book, Working. Buy Tickets Here.
Parking: Available on local streets and in the Temple’s reserved parking garage located at the corner of Burton Way and Herzl Way.
Robert Caro is recognized as one of the great modern historians of our time. His books on Robert Moses, and more recently on Lyndon Johnson,have earned him two Pulitzers, two National Book Awards, three National Book Circle Awards, and so many more. His books on LBJ are legendary, and they are astounding in their scope, their detail, and their accessibility to the general public. His books are utterly thrilling in revealing how Lyndon Johnson not only got his power, but how he wielded it. Unforgettable.
In his new book, Working, Caro gives us the stories behind the books, stories from and about his interviews with witnesses, including with Lady Bird Johnson about her assessment of one of her husband’s beautiful mistresses. Not all people can be engaged in the same way: of particular note is how he chose to conduct his interviews, whether with lawmakers, or the family of LBJ, or with the independent-minded people in the Texas Hill Country where LBJ had his ranch.
Conan O’Brien is the host of the late-night show, Conan, which airs on TBS. He is also the host of his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. Besides all that, Conan is a noted presidential scholar.

Ever been to the Great LA River Clean Up? It’s an amazing way to spend a couple hours, hang out and do good! It’s put on by FOLAR (Friends of the LA River). They give everyone a trash bag, gloves, a shovel if you need it and then set you free to roam The River and pick up trash. You get to be outside with friends. You get a good workout — Last year, Julie H used real muscle to dig out a couple of shopping carts — what more could you want? I signed HODG up to be a team. So far it’s just me, Jennifer.
