In this splendidly surreal comedy-drama, a group of eight women gathers at the country home of the brilliant and eccentric Fefu to plan an event for their do-gooding educational work. As multiple conflicts unfold between the old friends, they struggle to define who they are and what it means to be a woman in a male-dominated world. In a format that was groundbreaking for its time, the play is divided into three parts. The first part takes place in the living room of the house with the full audience. The second part is set in four different areas of the house: the lawn, the study, the bedroom and the kitchen. Fornés deconstructed the familiar stage, removing the fourth wall, and scenes are played in multiple locations simultaneously. The audience is divided into groups to watch each scene, then they rotate to the next set as the scene is repeated, until each group has seen all four scenes. The play concludes in the living room with the full audience. [less-]

You know YOLA DÍA is serious about putting the spotlight on women when they give you a rare acoustic set from Courtney Love. That's right, the enfant terrible of '90s grunge is going unplugged for this day of music entirely by female artists. And it doesn't stop there -- YOLA DÍA's also got Cat Power's achingly vulnerable experimental rock, "and" the quirky, retro indie pop of festival organizer Lykke Li. And that's not even the whole story -- from the avant-garde pop of Kelsey Lu to the confident, sex-positive rap of Megan Thee Stallion -- the festival lineup shows off the enormous diversity of talent out there when it comes to women in music.

A history of The Grass Roots is like a crash course on the history of American rock 'n' roll itself. Formed by the great Lou Adler, the band featured instrumentation by the Wrecking Crew's top musicians (including Carole Kaye, who played that killer bass line on the band's biggest hit, "Midnight Confessions"), and would go on to chart more than 20 hit singles over 50 years. In fact, only 9 bands have charted more hits on __Billboard__’s Hot 100 than the Grass Roots. They've appeared on virtually every era-defining program, too, from "Ed Sullivan" to "American Bandstand" to "Sonny & Cher". And though they've lost members over the years and have had more lineup changes than Menudo (fun fact: "The Office"'s Creed Bratton was an original member!), the band still knows how to rock a live show, bringing out all the hits like “Let’s Live for Today,” “Sooner or Later,” “Temptation Eyes” and “The Things I Should Have Said." Catch them live at The Canyon Agoura Hills. [less-]
