Nederlander Concerts welcomes Celtic Woman to the Greek Theatre, Saturday May 17. Celtic Woman has been winning over audiences worldwide since their March 2005 debut. Their popularity in the U.S. is thanks in part to their first PBS special, which has been aired over 3400 times on 316 PBS stations to date. Their 2005 self-titled CD and DVD have been certified platinum, and 2007's A New Journey: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland DVD and A New Journey CD have both been certified platinum. Celtic Woman commanded the #1 spot on the Billboard World Music chart for over 90 consecutive weeks. The group has played more than five hugely successful U.S. concert tours, including multiple sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall. 'A New Journey' contains selections from both of the group's platinum albums, Celtic Woman and A New Journey. The repertoire is an unforgettable collection of contemporary hits, classical favorites, Irish standards and original composition written especially for the soloists. Celtic Woman's 'A New Journey', like all the best journeys, is an experience you will never forget. http://www.experiencela.com/calendar/eventmore.asp?key=16802 May 17 May 17 May 17 3/11/2008 10:21:23 AM <b> <img src="http://www.experiencela.com/thumbnail/thumbnailimage.aspx?filename=/Uploads/20070329171749-17228.jpg" width=110 border=0 height=105 /><br/> </a> May 17</b><br/> DISCOUNT OFFER: Get 2-for-1 tickets on this tour when you first send an email in support of the LA Public Library's budget not being slashed at Esotouric founders Kim and Richard's http://www.savelapl.org website.

To claim, send an email through the site, then contact Esotouric at tours@esotouric.com to reserve. Esotouric's ''Reyner Banham Loves Los Angeles'' tours each explore themes of industry, infrastructure, architecture and the built environment. In this third installment in our ongoing architecture series, we explore California's Mother Road and the building of its dream. The dream manifests at the turn of the 20th century as we explore how the climate was sold, the growth of the citrus industry and Tuberculosis hospitals. Then come the programmatic roadside architecture of the 1920s and 1930s and postwar V-8 visions fueled by gasoline and good climate (too bad you can't run an engine on it). The Reyner Banham tour series is dedicated to revealing greater L.A.'s infrastructure, history, the built and natural environment, transportation corridors, drive-ins, attractions and oddities. This tour will focus on the built environment along the Mother Road with an emphasis on old and historic alignments of Route 66 as well as signage. Highlights of the Route 66 tour include: Aztec Hotel, Covina Bowl, Ward Waldo farms, Monrovia AKA Bungalotopia, gravel pit tour. Tour includes complimentary coffee and cookies. http://www.experiencela.com/calendar/eventmore.asp?key=17228 May 17 May 17 May 17 5/5/2008 8:20:15 PM <b> <img src="http://www.experiencela.com/thumbnail/thumbnailimage.aspx?filename=/Uploads/20060516095130-16821.jpg" width=110 border=0 height=105 /><br/> </a> Apr 19 - May 17</b><br/> A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition ENDANGERED SPECIES will benefit the Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA.

A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition ENDANGERED SPECIES will benefit the Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA. The public is invited to a reception on Saturday, April 19, from 2 – 6 P.M. Empirical evidence that the world's natural balance is severely compromised is hard to refute at this point. ENDANGERED SPECIES includes artwork addressing the following related themes: 1) extinct/endangered/threatened species; 2) nature's beauty and fragility; 3) humanity's impact on the environment; and 4) contemporary threats to the ''ethnosphere, a term created by Wade Davis, explorer-in-residence at the National Geographic Society. In his book, Light at the Edge of the World, he defines ''ethnosphere'' as ''the sum total of all thoughts and dreams, myths, and intuitions brought into being by the human imagination since the dawn of consciousness.'' ''We may not think of these things as global resources -- like air, water, and green life -- but they truly are. And they, too, are threatened by rampant modernization and globalization,'' write the editors of the Utne Reader in a March 6, on-line article about Davis by Juniper Glass.

We are staging a streetcar workshop at the historic Orpheum Theatre, where local streetcar advocates, neighborhood councils, residents, and property and business owners will talk with national streetcar experts about: • How streetcars compare to other modes of transportation; • What streetcars have done for residents and property and business owners in cities ranging from Portland to Tampa to tiny Kenosha, Wisconsin; • How streetcars can leverage the value of urban real estate, and help market higher-density development and a ''green'' lifestyle; • How streetcars shape development and reduce driving and greenhouse gas emissions; • How communities can profit from zoning for density, intensity and intimacy near the streetcar line, and use the money to help achieve public goals including affordability and parks; • Political and funding strategies that get robust streetcar systems built; • AND HOW LOS ANGELES AND OTHER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES CAN BUILD THEIR OWN STREETCAR SYSTEMS. http://www.experiencela.com/calendar/eventmore.asp?key=17559 May 22 May 22 May 22 5/6/2008 10:32:24 AM <b> <img src="http://www.experiencela.com/thumbnail/thumbnailimage.aspx?filename=/Uploads/20040407003059-17215.jpg" width=110 border=0 height=105 /><br/> </a> May 24</b><br/> Frog Belly Rat Bone continues its tour with a free performance in Orange County!

Kennedy, the revolutionary Democratic convention, and the violent Olympics in Mexico City. For the fifth year, Works in Progress, which presents stage adaptations of contemporary history, will explore each of these events in its new series 1968: Year that Rocked!

Dolls exist so that humans can act out. As a result, dolls bear the brunt of their owner's moods. Dragged by their hair through shopping malls and attacked by rubber bands, Barbies and G.I. Joes can live tough lives. Dolls act out scenarios according to the demands of not-yet-socialized, childhood imaginations; they are important in our acculturation, used to reenact experiences and test out relationships. This exhibition presents works that use dolls as vehicles to the sublime, representing surrogate selves or aesthetic alter-egos.

This year's performance is a dance adaptation based on the Roald Dahl book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which will include ballet, tap, hip-hop, modern dance and creative movement. The Recital will be performed by over three hundred students, ages 4 through 18, from the Foundation's everybody dance! program. Through everybody dance!, the Foundation provides quality dance instruction at little or not cost to ethnically diverse, economically disadvantaged children in Los Angeles. The Foundation was established in memory of Gabriella Axelrad, a 13-year-old who loved to dance. The Foundation's mission is to help every child it serves nurture self-confidence, acquire self-discipline and create a positive self-image through the arts. Everybody dance! is funded in part by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; the California Arts Council, a state agency; and the National Endowment for the Arts; a federal agency. http://www.experiencela.com/calendar/eventmore.asp?key=17595 Jun 07 Jun 07 Jun 07 5/7/2008 3:35:21 PM <b> <img src="http://www.experiencela.com/thumbnail/thumbnailimage.aspx?filename=/Uploads/20030724220506-15310.jpg" width=110 border=0 height=105 /><br/> </a> Nov 19</b><br/> You never know what you'll get at the...

''100% OTHER: ARTISTS AND PSYCHO-DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONS'' continues yearlong examination of electoral issues at 18th Street Arts Center. In this election year, who will vote, who will be counted, who won't be, who will be left out – and what will be the impact on the future of the nation? 18th Street Arts Center delves into these and other questions in ''100% Other: Artists and Psycho-Demographic Transitions,'' an art exhibition that tracks the connections and separations between our changing cultural landscape and our oftentimes lagging civic outcomes. The exhibition, which opens April 12 and continues through June 13, forms the second part of ''Future of Nations,'' 18th Street's yearlong examination of issues related to the 2008 presidential campaign. It is curated by Tyler Stallings and includes works by Matthew Bryant, Cheryl Gilge, Perry Vasquez, Reggie Woolery, and Yasuko, as well as ''Rich,'' an installation in the project room by Kyungmi Shin, 18th Street 2008 artist fellow. 18th Street programs are supported (in part) by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Australia Council for the Arts, California Community Foundation, Durfee Foundation, James Irvine Foundation, Jumex Foundation, L.A.

The Actors' Gang's critically acclaimed production of George Orwell's 1984 returns to Los Angeles as part of an extensive national and international tour that has traveled to cities across the U.S. and to Hong Kong, Melbourne and Athens. Directed by Academy Award-winning actor and Actors' Gang artistic director Tim Robbins, 1984 tells of a world where people fear that their opinions cannot be expressed freely, where citizens are monitored at the government's discretion, where leaders are not held accountable for their deceptions, and where perpetual war is waged against an unseen enemy.
