SUMMARY:From Podcast to Stage: Open-Door Playhouse Headlines Hollywood Festival
DESCRIPTION:From Podcast to Stage: Open-Door Playhouse Headlines Hollywood Festival\nHOLLYWOOD\, CA – After producing nearly 200 audio dramas for a global audience\, the award-winning Open-Door Playhouse is returning to the physical stage. For the second consecutive year\, the company will present five of its most acclaimed works live at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre as a headline act for the 30 Minutes or Less Festival this January. \nFounded by filmmaker Bernadette Armstrong during the 2020 lockdowns\, Open-Door Playhouse has evolved from a creative lifeline for artists into a decorated podcast theater\, earning a Communicator Award for Custody and a Webby Award nomination for What’s Prison Like. \nThe Live Performance Schedule\nThe festival presents a fast-paced “concentrated” theater experience\, with each program curated to deliver high impact in under half an hour. \nSaturday\, January 17\, 2026 | 6:15 PM\n\n\nShe Was Dick’s Tracie \n\n\nWriter: Sandra Cruze | Director: Bernadette Armstrong \n\n\nThe Story: A noir-inspired mystery where a senior detective and a coroner investigate the murder of a “dynamite redhead.” As the investigation unfolds\, the investigators realize they each share a secret\, personal connection to the victim. \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, January 18\, 2026 | 2:30 PM\n\n\nThe End \n\n\nWriter: Patricia Motto | Director: Gary B. Lamb \n\n\nThe Story: A poignant reflection on the inevitability of fate and the things that truly “get us” in the end. \n\n\n\n\nFast Moving Consumer Goods \n\n\nWriter: Lori Londagin | Director: Rachel Berney Needleman \n\n\nThe Story: A dark comedy centered on a life-changing\, unexpected encounter triggered by a call to a suicide hotline. \n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, January 24\, 2026 | 7:00 PM\n\n\n(UN)Drinkable \n\n\nWriter: Dana Hall | Director: Bernadette Armstrong \n\n\nThe Story: A powerful dramatization of the Flint\, Michigan water crisis. The play examines the human cost of the 2014 water source switch\, which led to widespread lead poisoning and legionnaires’ disease. \n\n\nThe Context: The production highlights the intersection of public policy and systemic racism\, noting that the city of Flint was 54% Black at the time of the crisis\, a demographic reality that many advocates argue slowed the government’s response to the contamination. \n\n\n\n\nWill’s Dramaturg \n\n\nWriter: Rich Rubin | Director: Kim Hlavac \n\n\nThe Story: A comedic “what if” scenario featuring a modern-day New York theater pro traveling back to 1594 London to give a young William Shakespeare some unsolicited script notes.

SUMMARY:Stanley Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Stanley Clarke is a towering figure in modern music\, widely regarded as one of the most virtuosic and influential bassists in history for his revolutionary work on both the electric bass and the acoustic double bass. His career began in the early 1970s\, where he quickly became an in-demand sideman for jazz greats like Horace Silver\, Art Blakey\, and Stan Getz\, before co-founding the seminal jazz-fusion band Return to Forever with Chick Corea and Lenny White\, a group that would define the instrumental intensity of the genre. Clarke is perhaps best known for his landmark 1976 solo album\, School Days\, which\, along with Jaco Pastorius’s debut\, forever changed the role of the bass guitar\, proving it could be a dynamic\, melodic\, and harmonically rich lead instrument through his pioneering use of slapping\, popping\, and tapping techniques. Beyond fusion\, he has navigated genres with ease\, forming the Grammy-winning R&B/funk collaboration The Clarke/Duke Project with keyboardist George Duke\, and has established a highly successful second career composing scores for over 70 films and television shows\, including classics like Boyz n the Hood and The Transporter\, solidifying his legacy as an NEA Jazz Master and a true giant of the four-stringed instrument.

SUMMARY:Steve Schapiro: Being Everywhere at Fahey/Klein Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Bearing Witness: Steve Schapiro: Being Everywhere at Fahey/Klein Gallery\nHOLLYWOOD\, CA – The Fahey/Klein Gallery is honored to present Steve Schapiro: Being Everywhere\, a comprehensive exhibition celebrating the six-decade career of one of America’s most significant photojournalists. The exhibition runs from January 22 through March 21\, 2026\, with a public reception on Thursday\, January 22\, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. \nThe title Being Everywhere—shared with a new documentary directed by Maura Smith—perfectly describes Schapiro’s (1934–2022) uncanny ability to be present at the most pivotal intersections of 20th-century history\, from the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement to the closed sets of Hollywood’s Golden Age. \nA Visual Record of American History\nSchapiro’s archive serves as a sweeping visual narrative of modern American life. His “fly-on-the-wall” approach allowed him to capture unguarded intimacy in moments both historic and humble. \n\n\nThe Civil Rights Movement: Schapiro’s enduring images of the March on Washington\, the Selma to Montgomery march\, and his travels with James Baldwin remain definitive documents of the era. Works like Freedom Now\, Summer of ’64 capture the gravity and communal strength of the movement. \n\n\nCultural Icons: The exhibition features legendary portraits\, including Muhammad Ali biking with kids in Louisville (1963) and an iconic 1965 shot of Andy Warhol\, Edie Sedgwick\, and Henry Geldzahler in New York. \n\n\nThe Cinema: As a unit photographer\, Schapiro provided the definitive behind-the-scenes look at cinematic masterpieces such as The Godfather\, Taxi Driver\, and Chinatown. \n\n\nThe Weight of the Moment\nSchapiro’s work is characterized by a unique blend of objectivity and interpretation. His photographs do more than record events; they invite the viewer to feel the urgency and humanity of the subject. As David Fahey notes\, Schapiro’s work addresses the “collective feelings” of our culture\, making these decades-old images feel remarkably resonant in the present day.

SUMMARY:Jazz Legends: SIMON PHILLIPS • Protocol V feat: Alex Sill\, Ernest Tibbs\,Otmaro Ruiz & Jacob Scensey
DESCRIPTION:Jazz Legends: Simon Phillips • Protocol V is a high-octane masterclass in jazz-fusion\, featuring the legendary\, Grammy-nominated drummer and composer Simon Phillips at the Catalina Jazz Club on January\, 2026. Renowned for his technical precision and an illustrious career spanning work with Toto\, The Who\, and Jeff Beck\, Phillips brings his most recent evolution of the Protocol project to the stage in a quintet format. This iteration of the band\, which debuted on the acclaimed 2022 album Protocol V\, showcases a powerhouse lineup of virtuosos including longtime electric bassist Ernest Tibbs\, veteran keyboardist Otmaro Ruiz (known for his work with John McLaughlin)\, and the “fearless” young talents Phillips discovered: guitarist Alex Sill and saxophonist Jacob Scesney. Drawing inspiration from the sonic landscapes of Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and the harmonic complexity of Tony Williams\, the performance will feature intricate\, unison themes and soaring improvisations\, culminating in epic compositions like the 11-minute suite “The Long Road Home.”

SUMMARY:Watkins Family Hour
DESCRIPTION:Watkins Family Hour is a celebrated musical collaborative and long-standing residency founded by siblings Sara and Sean Watkins (of the Grammy-winning bluegrass trio Nickel Creek)\, which has served as a creative heartbeat for the Los Angeles music scene since 2002. Originally established as an informal monthly variety show at Largo at the Coronet\, the project has evolved into a powerhouse collective that blends bluegrass\, folk\, and Americana with a revolving door of high-profile “family” members\, including the likes of Fiona Apple\, Benmont Tench (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)\, and Jon Brion. The group is renowned for its communal\, “anything-can-happen” atmosphere\, where the Watkins siblings lead their virtuosic friends through inventive covers and soul-stirring originals\, as captured on their acclaimed studio albums like Brother Sister (2020) and the guest-heavy Vol. II (2022). Continuing their two-decade tradition\, the Watkins Family Hour will return to their home stage at Largo on Thursday\, January 22\, 2026\, for an 8:30 PM performance that promises the same signature mix of tight sibling harmonies and spontaneous collaborations that have made them a cornerstone of West Coast acoustic music.
