MULTI-ARTIST SHOW PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT WITH A CAUSE

“Artists on the Brink” Presents “Studio 1954,” a socially aware night of surprises

(Los Angeles, CA)-Artists on the Brink, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit, presents “Studio 1954” at downtown’s ArtShare LA located at 801 4th Place. “Studio 1954” is a theatrical collaboration of artists, actors, musicians, dancers, and acrobats performed through a comedic narrative set in 1954. Performances will be held on Fridays (May 9th and 16th) at 8 pm and Saturdays (May 10th and 17th) at 7 pm.

What happens when great ideas are presented before the public is ready for them? Entertainment mayhem. The artist collective, Artists on the Brink, have pooled their talents in the creation of a night of varied entertainment with proceeds to benefit the work of local organization S.C.O.P.E., working to encourage greater voter turnout in 2008, and the Feminist Majority Foundation’s “Get Her Vote Out.”

REPLICA OF SIMON WIESENTHAL VIENNA OFFICE NEW AT MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE
 
 
CULTURE LOS ANGELES -- Alan and Susan Casden have contributed a recreation of the office of Simon Wiesenthal, the famed Nazi hunter, at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles where it will be a major interactive multimedia exhibit. The office is exactly as it was at the Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna that Wiesenthal founded. It includes all of Wiesenthal’s personal library, documents and furniture as well as his many honors including the Legion of Honor and the Congressional Gold Medal. Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Nazi death camps, dedicated his life to documenting the crimes of the Holocaust and to hunting down the perpetrators still at large. "When history looks back," Wiesenthal explained, "I want people to know the Nazis weren’t able to kill millions of people and get away with it."

Greg Siff and The Nothing Boys
 
 
CULTURE Editor's Note: Gregory Siff wrote and is starring in a new play, The Nothing Boys premiering in Hollywood on May 2nd. After meeting him this evening, I asked him to come here to LA Voice to share his story and let people know about the project. Thanks to Greg for dropping in and sharing with LA Voice's readers!

I showed up for my ten-year high school reunion and it was me, and one other student! no one else showed. I wrote a play about it and no we are slated to have a May 3rd world premiere at the Complex in Hollywood. Produced by the writer/executive producer of HBO's Entourage, this new comedy will make a great night at the theatre.

As part of the project, I started a videoblog, and here is my first attempt at it. Enjoy!

Nueva Categoría de Encargados de Edificios: El Encargado Espía
 
 
CULTURE Recientemente se circularizó la noticia de que el Estado habría pedido al gremio de encargados (Suterh), que colaborara con el problema de la falta de energía, instando a los encargados afiliados a que informasen “a las distribuidoras eléctricas sobre el uso de los aparatos de aire acondicionado” que tienen los ocupantes de los departamentos.
Léase, indicar quién tiene aparatos de aire acondicionado y cuántos.
Ello bajo el pretexto de "agilizar la información en caso de un apagón"

Swimwear at the Standard Reminds Us: Summer's Coming!
 
 
Southern California is known for its beaches, mountains and deserts. It is also synonymous with swimming pools, BBQs and plenty of outdoor entertaining. Last night was no exception, Andrew Makay, the Designer and Owner of N2N Bodywear (link to N2N), unveiled his 2008 swimwear-line with a fabulous party at the swanky Standard Hotel in West Hollywood.

More than 250 people crowed the pool area of The Standard Hotel, which overlooks the stunning City of LA, as they came out to support a business that contributes to the local economy. Not even the cold Spring air could keep guests away from watching a show that reflected swimwear that captured the true essence of California style that is admired and copied world-wide.

MEDIA Raphael Sonenshein

The Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ-LA) held a "Political Party" this past Wednesday night at the Redwood Bar & Grill with political guru and Cal State Fullerton professor, Raphael Sonenshein. Advance apologies for the quality of the lighting--it wasn't the best lit room--but the sound is good (Beastie Boys and Neil Diamond samplings notwithstanding).
