♪  ONGOING MUSIC & ART EVENTS
 
 
Ongoing, through Apr 19, in Sierra Madre:
(Times vary, by night)  “CIVIL WAR THEMED LIVE THEATRE,” in three period-music-related productions, at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W Sierra Madre Bl, Sierra Madre; 626-355-4318; www.sierramadreplayhouse.com. Free street parking.

Nick Smith, veteran storyteller and co-producer of the Pasadena Folk Music Series (formerly the Caltech Folk Music Series), says, “I’m historical advisor for their current productions. The main one, "Battledrum," (Mar 7-Apr 19) is a short musical drama about drummer boys during the Civil War.”
+
There is also one remaining performance of the MUSIC OF THE CIVIL WAR, in a show called "Glory Hallelujah," on Apr 13. It’s presented in conjunction with the Colbert School of Music, that esteemed L.A. institution across the street from the Disney Concert Hall.
+
The theatre’s lobby has a wonderful display of Civil War photographs and descriptive placards, along with a Union uniform and lady’s dress of the time.
+
Each performance of "Battledrum" opens with an opening talk by a historian, leading into the play. Nick tells us, “I will be doing [the historian’s opening] for some of the performances. I’m also helping select the readings and music for the other production. It’s been busy.”
+
The Guide was there for ""THE PLAYER KING," a one-night-only show in the series on March 28. It’s about the theatrical Booth family, including John Wilkes Booth, the actor who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Written and performed by DARIN DAHMS, it is an inspired performance. If it’s indicative of this series, and we believe it is, then catch as much of it as you can.

ONGOING through Apr 19, at UCLA:
8 pm  “THE SUIT,” from theater Icon Peter Brook, presented by the Center for the Art of Performance (CAP) series for eight performances at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse, in MacGowan Hall, 245 Charles E. Young Dr East, on the UCLA campus in Westwood (L.A.) 90095.
+
“The Suit” is a simmering tale of betrayal and resentment set in the politically charged sphere of apartheid-era South Africa, performed by Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, with direction, adaptation and musical direction by Peter Brook, Marie-Hélène Estienne and Franck Krawczyk. The story centers on Philomen, a middle-class lawyer and his wife, Matilda. The suit of the title belongs to Matilda’s lover and is left behind when Philomen catches the illicit couple together. As punishment, Philomen makes Matilda treat the suit as an honored guest as a constant reminder of her adultery. The setting of Sophiatown, a teeming township that was erased shortly after Can Themba wrote his novel, is as much a character in the play as the unfortunate couple, and this production lends it life and energy with a minimal cast.
+
Themba was a South African writer during apartheid. His short novel, “The Suit” was supposed to change the writer’s life, but the cruel restrictions in his native country led him to exile, his works banned in his home country. He died an alcoholic before his most famous work was adapted for the stage by Mothobi Mutloatse and Barney Simon at Johannesburg’s Market Theatre in the newly liberated South Africa of the 1990s.
+
Renowned director Peter Brook previously adapted that stage version and took it on tour in a French-language production. He returned to the source language of English working with his longtime collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne and composer Franck Krawczyk. They have adapted the play and have set it to music from sources as diverse as Franz Schubert and Miriam Makeba.
+
The UCLA Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA (CAP UCLA) is dedicated to the advancement of contemporary performing arts in all disciplines —dance, music, spoken word and theater, as well the emerging digital, collaborative and cross-art platforms inspired by today's leading artists and creators. CAP supports the creation, presentation and critical dialogues vital to the ongoing innovation and expressive potential of artists whose work, whether vibrantly emerging or internationally acclaimed, forms the dynamic and evolving heritage of contemporary performance. Based in UCLA's iconic Royce Hall, CAP UCLA is the university's public center for the presentation of the performing arts and contributes to the cultural life of the campus and greater Los Angeles, promoting civic dialogue and creative inquiry. Through an annual season of performing arts programs and extensive community-engagement events — including artist fellows and residency programs, K–12 arts education (Design for Sharing), student mentorship (Student Committee for the Arts), and art-making and experiential activities (Art in Action) — CAP UCLA advances the importance of art in society by celebrating and deepening the connection between artist and audience.
+
The show runs as follows: Wed, Apr 9 through Fri, Apr 11, at 8 pm; Sat, Apr 12, at 2 & 8 pm; Sun, Apr 13, at 2 pm; Thu, Apr 17 through Sat, Apr 19, at 8 pm. The only alternative to the hefty cost of campus parking is the MTA or Culver or Big Blue Bus.
+
Tix, $30-$65, available online at www.cap.ucla.edu, or from the UCLA Central Ticket Office, at 310-825-2101, or with the usual hefty processing fee at Ticketmaster. Student rush tickets, subject to availability, are offered at $15 one hour before show time to all students with valid ID.

The film asks, “How do you find true love?” It’s lead character, Florian, is half-German, half-French and owns "Le Flo" - a French delicatessen in Berlin that specializes in salami. When he meets Camille, the daughter of a French director, it's love at first sight. Florian is going to ask her to marry him, but doesn't know she's already engaged to a movie star. Florian's best friend, Jenny, is German and owns a bakery just down the street. She's in love with him but doesn't know how to tell him. “Go With Le Flo” explores what true love is, with plenty of twists and turns (some on a Vespa), and lots of salami. The film is in German and French with English subtitles.
+
In 1990 Robyn Rosenkrantz and Michael Glover quit their L.A. jobs, sold everything they had (except their guitars), and bought one-way tickets to Europe.

They've made 5 feature films which they booked at art house cinemas in Europe, touring with the films, doing concerts to support the release.
