Join LAist and The Black List as we put your favorite actors, directors, and writers through the wringer to see if they’ve got what it takes to make a successful movie or TV show – with, of course, an escalating series of helpful studio executive notes. In the process, we’ll poke fun at the industry we know and love, and see if famed screenwriter William Goldman was right when he said, “Nobody knows anything.

“Nobody Knows Anything” is hosted by Franklin Leonard (he/him), founder and CEO of The Black List, a platform that helps Hollywood discover great scripts. The show is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler.

This time around, Franklin will be talking with his guests about great TV & film soundtracks.

Autry After Hours | Live Music with Rosy Nolan

Autry Museum of the American West - The Autry Museum in Griffith Park, 4700 Western Heritage Way Los Angeles, CA 90027

+

🔗 Link
🎟️ Required

Join the Autry for happy hour! Enjoy live music and dancing on the plaza with performances by old-time country artist Rosy Nolan, and try an exclusive cocktail featured in the book Cowboy Cocktails by Andre Darlington.

With her cowgirl hat, platinum bob, and 1940s Western getups, Los Angeles-based artist Rosy Nolan looks like a throwback to the mid-century heyday of California honky-tonk legends such as Rose Maddox and Jean Shepard. But the San Francisco native honed her performance chops in riot-grrrl and post-punk indie bands across the US and the UK before finding a home in LA’s tight-knit old-time community. Now a confident bandleader and guitarist whose vulnerable songs and onstage charm have endeared her to audiences across Southern California and around the US, Nolan is in the vanguard of LA’s latest country music resurgence.

Tickets Include:  
  • Admission to the live music performances featuring Rosy Nolan 
  • Pub games on the plaza  
  • Access to full cash bar and food trucks  
  • After-hours museum access

Writers Bloc & Book Soup Present Graydon Carter and Monica Lewinsky

Writer's Guild Theater, 135 S Doheny Dr, Beverly Hills 90211

+

🔗 Link
🎟️ $29

Who among us doesn’t love Vanity Fair? And if you do, it’s because of visionary editor Graydon Carter. For 25 years, Graydon Carter in no small way helped to define– and create– contemporary pop culture, both here and in Europe. 

While Carter’s resumé includes dazzling entries (including co-founding the defiantly satirical and hilarious Spy Magazine), it was Vanity Fair that catapulted Carter into the imagination of mainstream America and Europe. He molded Vanity Fair into a magazine that cheerfully embraced the highs and lows of American arts, culture, politics and commerce through features and photography by wonderful writers and great photojournalists.

In his new book, When the Going Was Good: An Editor’s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines, we see Carter’s profound influence on American lifestyle and culture. While no longer steering Vanity Fair, he is now the co-founder of the indispensable digital magazine, Air Mail. Graydon Carter’s inestimable impact cannot be understated: we see it not only in the glamour of the entertainment industry, but more important, in magazine journalism, just brimming with features and photography that have been so fundamental to our culture. When the Going Was Good spills over with great stories featuring outsize personalities. Graydon Carter cultivated wonderful writers, artists, and photographers when he ran Spy and Vanity Fair. And his own story is as captivating as any that appeared under his watch.

The Arboretum Library’s book group explores the portrayal of western North American landscape in fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry, letters, graphic novels, etc.  The group generally, but not always, meets the 4th Wednesday of the month in the Arboretum Library.  When the weather is good and the mosquitos are less active, the group will meet outside in appropriate places in the gloriously, beautiful grounds of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. At other times the group will meet in the Arboretum Library with social distancing and masking if desired. The group leader will decide each month whether the meeting will be in-person (in the Arboretum Library or outside on the Arboretum grounds) or on Zoom.

The group uses a modified version of the Shared Inquiry™ method developed by the Great Books Foundation.  The discussion is greatly enhanced if the chosen book of the month is read, although we welcome those who just want to listen. Let the host know you want to listen. New participants are always welcome!

Concentrate by Courtney Faye Taylor, Minneapolis, Minnesota: Graywolf Press, 2022.

“Taylor is an expert at concentration; rarely deterred, though heavyhearted in her pursuit of truth, her poems are precise, crisp. “Normalcy devastates. Stillness lies to me,” she writes as the author is once again reminded, and here to remind us how purposefully memory can be erased, the way life goes on despite its wounds, that we are just filling the holes with sand until once again, it erodes. Concentrate begs us to do just that for our insured survival.”– Ashia Ajani, Split Lip Magazine

Winner of the 2021 Cave Canem Poetry Prize, selected by Rachel Eliza Griffiths In her virtuosic debut, Courtney Faye Taylor explores the under-told history of the murder of Latasha Harlins–a fifteen-year-old Black girl killed by a Korean shop owner, Soon Ja Du, after being falsely accused of shoplifting a bottle of orange juice. Harlins’s murder and the following trial, which resulted in no prison time for Du, were inciting incidents of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, and came to exemplify the long-fraught relationship between Black and Asian American communities in the United States. Through a collage-like approach to collective history and storytelling, Taylor’s poems present a profound look into the insidious points at which violence originates against–and between–women of color. Concentrate displays an astounding breadth of form and experimentation in found texts, micro-essays, and visual poems, merging worlds and bending time in order to interrogate inexorable encounters with American patriarchy and White supremacy manifested as sexual and racially charged violence. These poems demand absolute focus on Black womanhood’s relentless refusal to be unseen, even and especially when such luminosity exposes an exceptional vulnerability to harm and erasure. Taylor’s inventive, intimate book radically reconsiders the cost of memory, forging a path to a future rooted in solidarity and possibility. “Concentrate,” she writes. “We have decisions to make. Fire is that decision to make.”

Fake It Until You Make It

Mark Taper Forum, 135 N Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA 90012

+

🎟️ Start at $40.25
🔗 Link

A door-slamming, mistaken identity satirical farce.

A bold world premiere comedy from Los Angeles-based playwright, Larissa FastHorse and director Michael John Garcés, produced in association with Arena Stage. Fake It Until You Make It is about being whoever you want to be, even when it’s not who you are. In her uproarious new comedy, a collision of friends and foes within the non-profit sector sets the stage for a whirlwind of competition, chaos, and comedic revelation.

Meet Wynona, the Native American proprietor of N.O.B.U.S.H., and River, her white counterpart at Indigenous Nations Soaring. Their escalating rivalry ensnares colleagues and bystanders, leading to the unraveling of secrets that highlight the absurdities of ambition and authenticity. Amidst the laughter, genuine connections form, emphasizing the value of unexpected paths to success. Fake It Until You Make It takes an absurd look at what defines who we are, and the lengths some people will go through to change it.

A member of the Sicangu Lakota Nation, and author of the Broadway comedy, The Thanksgiving Play, FastHorse’s new work shines a hilarious light on ‘shifters’ who exist in a world of self-determined identity.

We are thrilled to welcome Noah Bean (David Mamet’s Romance), Eric Stanton Betts (Holiday Down Under), Julie Bowen (Modern Family) Tonantzin Carmelo (La Brea), Brandon Delsid (This is Me…Now), and Dakota Ray Hebert (Marvel’s Echo) to the Mark Taper Forum!

Ravel & Brahms Schoenberg at 150 Festival

Walt Disney Concert Hall, 111 S Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA 90012

+

🎟️ Starting at $79
🌐 Link

Seong-Jin Cho returns for Ravel’s joyful Concerto in G, and Paavo Järvi leads a Brahms quartet lovingly orchestrated by Schoenberg.

About this Performance
The Wall Street Journal describes South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho as poised to take his place among the greats of the past “not only for his bulletproof technique, but also for his artistic voice [and] his sense of drama.” Cho joins the LA Phil for Ravel’s Concerto in G, one of the pianist’s favorite works, which he describes as a continuous dialog between piano and orchestra.

Grammy Award-winning conductor Paavo Järvi leads the LA Phil first in Bacewicz’ Concerto for String Orchestra, which combines approachable classical melodies with more modern harmonic ideas. Järvi closes the program with Brahms’ Piano Quartet arranged for orchestra. Schoenberg adored Brahms’ original but felt it was rarely performed well as chamber music, leading him to transform the piece into an orchestral version—given its world premiere by the LA Phil—that brings out Brahms’ shifting variations and colors.

Traffic Alert: Spring Street, Broadway, and Hill Street from Temple Street to 1st Street will be closed Friday, February 14 through Sunday, February 16. The Walt Disney Concert Hall garage will be open normal hours with access to its entrances. However, guests for this performance are encouraged to allow extra time to navigate the street closures and arrive early.

Mia, an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions and Sebastian, a jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, but as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart.
