I've been wanting to try something new with the family, so I've been exploring fun spots around the…read moreLos Angeles area. I recently came across this beautiful place that's hosting Sunday Funday events all summer long, and it looks like such a special experience. Admission is $20 for a family of up to five, and the shows are designed for kids ages 0 to 8. They're fun, interactive, and super engaging, with the performers involving the children throughout the performance. It's such a lovely way to introduce the little ones to live Shakespeare theater in a playful, welcoming setting.

I tried to see Shrek the musical tonight after having a good experience buying online tickets to…read morethe CALABASAS high school winter music concert. However, tonight was different when I attempted to buy tickets at the box office. The woman working the box office was clearly purposely delaying opening the screen for me to pick my tickets / seats and allowing time for the other ticket sales person next to her to give the good front row seats to two groups of people in the other line. When I confronted them about this and asked why I was not offered the front row seats even though I was in line 1st, they got completely unprofessional and were clearly saving the good seats for their friends further back in line. Then they told me it was better to sit in the back row anyway because I had kids with me. I am giving this three stars because the facility/theater is very nice, the winter musical was a 5-star experience. However... last night's experience was a 1-star experience because the ticket sales people were very rude and the customer service was lacking. I'll definitely go for other shows, and always will buy my tickets online to avoid interacting with the ticket sales people. As a side note, the ticket sales people were adults, not high school students.

My dance studio has held our last two performances here. The entire administrative staff and crew…read morewere extremely professional, helpful, and organized. Our students and parents loved the location. There is lots of parking, and a beautiful lobby. There is lots of room backstage for the kids, the staff, and props. We got rave reviews on our show and I can thank the CPAC for that!

I went here for the first time tonight. An intimate venue with fantastic acoustics, there are only…read moreabout ten seats in the 500 seat theater that have an obstructive view. The seats (although I didn't sit down) are super comfortable. The stage is a nice size, in no way close to an amphitheater stage but about double the size of a venue like Spaceland. The lobby upstairs is sizable and inviting with views of the ocean. I was lucky enough to volunteer for the Moby (yes, THAT Moby) concert and was able to go all over. The Performing Arts Center is also a recording studio. Apparently, artists with large posses will rent out the entire center. There is a nice backstage area with a small changing room, a kitchen and a bigger backroom attached to the stage. There is also a large room to the left of the stage (where the after party was). The offices and banquet room, as well as the recording studio, are upstairs. It must still be fairly new as everything is in pristine condition. Even if you aren't fortunate enough to see a world-class-act here, it's still a great place for any event or soiree. And yes, I did get to say hello to Moby. He is one nice guy.

I've seen one concert here, and it was wonderful. The building itself is secluded, and the…read moreenvironment is very mellow. The venue seats ~300 people. The acoustics were great, carrying a very warm feel from the sounds on stage. Parking is most definitely NOT a problem, the staff is kind, helpful, and numerous. During an intermission, you will likely find that the line to the small bar is incredibly long. You may want to consider "pre-gaming" in the parking lot if you hate lines.

After driving past the world renowned Getty Villa so many times on the 405 Freeway I finally made it to this absolutely stunning gem. I was joined by my three very curious and ready to travel and conquer the world granddaughters who had read up on this. No guide needed. This replica of a First Century Roman Country house that was buried under Mt Vesuvius also had a coincidental close call with the recent fires In the area and came back stronger. Behold the lovely Roman style gardens that feature plants and herbs from the Mediterranean; the mosaic floors and the classical fountains in this calm and serene environment. There are over 1400 spectacular pieces of art( pottery, jewelry, statues and sculptures) plus an outdoor theater for special events and plays. Please do set aside 2 and a 1/2 to 3 hours to truly enjoy the entire experience. You also have to just sit in the gardens and take in the fresh air and the views. Goose bumps and conversations for days. Online timed reservations that are gratis. Parking is $25 and drops $10 after 3 pm.( you have to wrap things up by 4:30 pm). Closed on Tuesdays. There is a nice cafe on the villa campus. There is something for every age group. This truly was a WOW experience.

Built to be a 1:1 replica of a destroyed villa from Mt. Vesuvius at Herculaneum, Mr. Getty really did his thing with this one!! I personally find the architecture of this museum to be its best part because it feels like you've been transported back into Ancient Rome before the eruption. The museum itself contains antiquities from Ancient Greece, Rome, and other societies both pre-dating the two civilizations from the same region as well as those that existed at the same time in different regions (Egypt) in an effort to put antiquity in context. Parking here is $25 and the gift shop always contains some fun gems.
