It's odd that in a city as known as being the world capital for entertainment! (with an exclamation…read morepoint, of course), theatre seems to still be something of a stealth exercise for many. I myself am a perfect example: 5 years in L.A., and a friend just started dragging me here. But maybe I've been too long around hipsters whose idea of a Friday night is a rock show and standing around looking "fashionably cardboard". Theatre Row Hollywood seems to be one of those places that everyone who loves theatre already knows about, but it doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way other L.A. attractions do. To that end, let the glorification of Theatre Row Hollywood begin! 15 (or so) theatres, on any given night (or day) showing comedy, drama, musical theatre, avant garde, etc. Best of all? People talking to each other before and afterward. A social element. Whew!

Fin Peach! Good…read moremusic, great vibes and that secret treasure chest/discover LA/ 818 great life. Kulak's Woodshed is a live music event venue, video recording and private music recording space. It's limited capacity, intimate and thoughtful. Brought to life by Paul Kulak, a local indie thoughtful big in stature and heart man whose love of music, sound and visuals brought this space in to existence at the tail end of the 1990s. A space for musicians to thrive, from grammy winners to new to expressing their gifts. I've passed the Woodshed many times in my 15 years in the SFV, but only recently started to enjoy it including their live webcasts and concerts via Facebook Live. Offering greatness on Laurel Canyon between Magnolia Blvd/Weddington Street, mere steps aways from my favorite local art supply store Carter Sexton. It's in a of creativity, expression and artistic joy. Check out their Mondays, musicians can sign up by 7pm for Singer/Songwriter Open Mic. Mostly supported by Paul's hard work, incredible volunteers and audience donations. It's an all welcoming, all ages, all genres and styles of music space. Beverages, snacks and conversations are all self served. Pet friendly environment, but good to be mindful others especially with allergies. Street parking is your friend, though if you don't mind a stroll parking a little further can be easier especially at night, rideshare or even metro as it's less than half a mile from the nearest station. They do not allow any alcohol, recreational or hard substances inside. It's indie, it's music, it's Kulak's Woodshed.

A rustic~eclectic joint hidden in between shops on Laurel Canyon, unassuming yet filled with love, laughter, song and MUSIC! My kinda place...And YES, they do charge a cover because this place needs money to keep musicians playing and their doors to remain open. It's not a big cover charge so not sure why anyone would complain about supporting local talent...just sayin... Bookmarked this place a while ago and was so happy to check it off my list a few weeks ago when I went to hear "The Eldermen" play here. I loved the decor. A mash up of bar stools, stadium seats, sofa's and a Queen size bed...yes, a queen size bed! Stage is smack dab in the middle with a pretty good view from all surrounding seats. *Snacks, drinks, and restroom are located back of house. *Check the website or insta for events calendar *Street Parking only

Totally worth it. The show this year topped the last (which we didn't think was possible). The energy, the creativity, the weirdness were all dialed up in the best way. We even met Zombie Joe himself outside, super friendly guy. And as a sweet bonus, they were handing out freeze-dried Skittles for everyone. Small touch, big win. Already looking forward to the next one.

Visit August 2026…read more This was a super fun and cute visit. Attended the birthday for my cousin's 1-year old boy. My cousin had strong happy memories of visiting Bob Baker Marionette Theater when she was young so ta-dah! Tbh, I had never heard of this place. Tbh, I was very curious how this generation of young kids, who are raised with cell phones and tablets would be engaged in this live puppet based presentation. I mean, I recall watching marionettes live at fairs and even on tv when I was a kid (Thunderbirds anybody?) but I was born in the 70's. BBMT pulled it off! The show, centered around a train journey, kept at least 30 kids (ranging from 1 to at least 10 years) laughing, clapping, "oohing" and "aahing". No crying or kids having to be entertained by their parents' cell phone because they had tuned out. The puppeteers did a fantastic job. You can tell they put in a large amount of work. Each scene was a super fast transition. They definitely got their exercise. Each song was catchy. There was a live organist as a pre-show as the theater filled up. Total nostalgia songs. Started tearing up when he broke out "Rainbow Connection." Theater staff were super welcoming and patient with the kids. Highly recommend for you parents out there for a unique experience to share with your child's r.

Cannot WAIT to see what they're up to next. Highest possible recommendation

Yelp Elite event! I…read morewas fortunate to have the opportunity to visit the Cornerstone Theatre Company ("Cornerstone") through a Yelp Elite event. The theatre has a front entrance/patio area that opens up to the street and a hallway that leads to the back on the left hand side. We had lunch in the back space, which was a decent size. I am not sure if this is where a stage is set and people perform but there were a lot of supplies so it looked like a back storage/practicing space. The space was clean and inviting. We had a tasty lunch catered by Alonti Catering and got to know about Cornerstone, it's upcoming events, and its staff. We did an exercise to get to know one another and supported the theatre by joining a raffle. Thereafter, we were able to hang out in the front patio and do some tile painting. I had just adopted a pitbull from the Van Nuys Animal Shelter so I decided I would paint my new daughter. Overall I had a great experience and am interested in attending one of Cornerstone's plays in the near future. Thank you Yelp for connecting me with this great venue and I wish Cornerstone much success!

I just knew there had to be a place in Los Angeles that gave Irish language lessons. I just knew…read more It's LA. Everything happens in LA. And that's how I came across the Celtic Arts Center -- An Claidheamh Soluis -- in North Hollywood. Every Monday night, the group gathers at the Mayflower Club, a wood-paneled venue complete with a small stage and, naturally, a well-stocked bar and provides free classes and workshops, then caps the night off with a traditional Celtic jam session. Upstairs, lessons in Irish and Scots-Gaelic take place in cozy rooms lined with bookshelves full of worn-out classics including Yeats and Seamus Heaney. The beginners' Irish language classes follow Máiréad Ní Ghráda's book "Progress in Irish," and when you graduate to the next level, the Arts Center also offers an intermediate workshop. But good luck with that. I've been stuck in a never-ending loop of beginners' classes for like three years. After wracking your brain over all the sínte fada, you can head downstairs, where the real céilí atmosphere settles in over a few rounds of dancing. Some of your classmates (like me!) are former competitive Irish dancers, and some are trying it out for the first time that night. Either way , they will grab you and throw you into the middle of the Walls of Limerick or the Siege of Ennis, and it will be a blast. Guaranteed. And at 9 p.m., musicians set up their fiddles and drums for a traditional Celtic music seisiún. The Celtic Arts Center is such a cool asset to the SoCal community. Definitely check it outttt.
