We’re celebrating the first anniversary of CULTURE VULTURE with a slew of stellar offerings that will take us into the new year.
For the uninitiated, CULTURE VULTURE is our weekly series of opera, stage and ballet/dance performances plus art exhibitions and documentaries.
These are often live performances that have been recorded – and they are typically breathtaking! If you are a lover of the high arts and have yet to experience Culture Vulture, you owe it to yourself to attend one of our upcoming programs.
Screenings take place Monday nights with repeat performances Tuesday afternoons.
Please note that we’ve shuffled the deck a bit with regard to venues. Culture Vulture will be continuing at the Playhouse, Claremont, and Town Center. In addition, it will be offered at the newly re-opened FINE ARTS in Beverly Hills. It will no longer run at the Royal, Music Hall, or NoHo.
There’s more! We’ve developed a new scheduling model that will make it easier for you to plan in advance. Each month will be calendared as follows:
1st Monday – Opera
2nd Monday – Ballet/Dance
3rd Monday – Stage
4th Monday – Art Exhibits/Documentaries
The 5th Monday (when it occurs) will be a surprise!

thwarted!!! having to go east of the 405 for culture? took an hour to get to aryha last night for 7:30 show, and the parking in the area is not at all easy.
Thank you, Laemmle for reopening the Fine Ahryarts Theatre!!! Folks within walking distance of Wilshire/La Cienega have been looking forward to this for a decade!
Boo hoo….. No more “culture” at the Royal. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get east of the 405 these days. Bring “culture” back to the beach cities, please!
Our Monica Film Center in Santa Monica will start screening the Culture Vulture series in January.
waaaaaaah what’s wrong woth the royal ???
