In celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of our walking tours, the Los Angeles Conservancy is revisiting our first-ever offering: a self-guided tour from 1978 called Would You Believe L.A.? The tour map included fifty-nine different sites in the historic core of downtown, providing the basis for the Conservancy’s first three docent-led tours. These three tours still take place regularly: Pershing Square Landmarks (now Historic Downtown), Broadway Historic Theatre District (now Broadway Theatre and Commercial District), and Palaces of Finance (now Downtown Renaissance). In the years since Would You Believe L.A.? was created and the first walking tours began, downtown Los Angeles has undergone many changes.

A City of [ PART 1 OF 2 ] Theatres By Marc Wanamaker n Noted theatre historian Marc Wanamaker is Hynda’s guest columnist this month. Part two continues next month. t is not generally known, but Los Angeles was one of the largest Itheatre towns in the United States dating back to the 19th cen- tury. Beginning with legitimate stages and later cinema theatres, Los Angeles boasted more than several thousand theatres sprawl- ing throughout the entire Los Angeles area by the 1920s. Every main street in every town had a theatre on it, and by the time movies came to Los Angeles there were even more built that were bigger and better. Los Angeles had a grand legitimate theatre history since the mid-19th century as described by famed stage and film actor Hobart Bosworth, who worked in several of the downtown theatres in the 1880s and 1890s. Bosworth described the theatre world of Los Angeles as “surprisingly robust and patronized by thousands of residents who were knowledgeable about the plays and players.” Los Angeles had its first semi-permanent stage, an open-air cov- ered platform with a proscenium arch near the Plaza in 1848, but the most important theater to be built in Los Angeles was the 1,200-seat Ozro Childs Grand Opera House, built in 1884 on Main Street near First. From the mid-1880s, Los Angeles became a regular stop for touring theatrical companies, starring some of the world’s most illustrious stars including Sarah Bernhardt, Maurice Barrymore, Lillian Russell, Anna Held and Lionel Barrymore, among many others.

The handbook is divided into different sections of related information. Each section consists of subsections, for ease of reference. The first section describes overall department information, what we do, and how the team is organized. It then flows into the Customer Service Center and Operations responsibilities, which serve as the central point of connectivity between the teams and ensures all service requests are triaged and solved efficiently and expediently. From there, it branches out into different areas of responsibility, with workflow processes and standard operating procedures. The back sections are reference material, including a phone directory and floor plans.

  • Los Angeles Bibliography

    Los Angeles Bibliography

    A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN THE LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN AREA Compiled by Richard Longstreth 1998, revised 16 May 2018 This listing focuses on historical studies, with an emphasis is on scholarly work published during the past thirty years. I have also included a section on popular pictorial histories due to the wealth of information they afford. To keep the scope manageable, the geographic area covered is primarily limited to Los Angeles and Orange counties, except in cases where a community, such as Santa Barbara; a building, such as the Mission Inn; or an architect, such as Irving Gill, are of transcendent importance to the region. Thanks go to Kenneth Breisch, Dora Crouch, Thomas Hines, Greg Hise, Gail Ostergren, and Martin Schiesl for adding to the list. Additions, corrections, and updates are welcome.

    Houston Grand Opera Unveils Enchanting New Production of Hansel and Gretel by Renowned Puppeteer Basil Twist

    Houston Grand Opera Unveils Enchanting New Production of Hansel and Gretel by Renowned Puppeteer Basil Twist Perfect Holiday Treat for the Whole Family Opens December 1, 2006 Houston, TX (October 5, 2006) – This holiday season, Houston Grand Opera (HGO) stages a spectacular new production of Humperdinck’s beloved fairy tale opera Hansel and Gretel featuring artists from the HGO Studio and members of the HGO Orchestra and Children’s Chorus. Eleven public performances, December 1 – 23, will offer ample opportunities for Houstonians to enjoy this holiday treat. The Production is directed and designed by America’s premier puppeteer Basil Twist, whose works have dazzled audiences across the continent (New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Montreal) and in Europe (France, London and Munich). Called “true magic” by the New York Times, Twist’s work fuses music and puppetry into spellbinding theatrical experiences. His largest puppet for Hansel and Gretel will be a giant witch built by the Jim Henson Company, and Twist will build the remaining puppets himself, including several marionettes and bunraku puppets. Hansel and Gretel showcases artists from the internationally acclaimed HGO Studio, one of the world’s finest programs for opera’s future stars. Irish mezzo-soprano Fiona Murphy and American soprano Rebekah Camm star as the brother and sister who get lost in the woods and are captured by the Witch, sung by American baritone Liam Bonner. American soprano Jennifer Root and American bass-baritone Ryan McKinny sing the Mother and Father, and Russian soprano Albina Shagimuratova sings the Sandman and the Dew Fairy. Russian mezzo-soprano Maria Markina and American Soprano Alicia Gianni will sing the title roles for three performances, plus a student matinee.

    MODULE 7: LEARNING TYPES OF EVENTS 142 endi 7.1. Introduction 7.2. Conferences 7.3. Meetings 7.4. Launch Events 7.5. Fashion Shows 7.6. Fundraisers 7.7. Weddings 7.8. Religious Events 7.9. Photocalls 7.10. Exhibitions 7.11. Sport Events 7.12. Concerts 7.13. Political Events 7.14. Anniverseries 143 EVENT PLANNER 7.1. Introduction On successful completion of this unit you will be able to identify the four different categories that events fit into. You will have an understanding of the different types of challenges that can be expected and overcome in all kinds of events. You will also be given a brief history of events and how some of them have evolved into the extravaganzas that are broadcast internationally on our TVs. This unit will also look into a number of everyday events, while exploring the history of some and tips on how to plan them successfully. On completion of this unit you should now have a clearer understanding of Festivals and Events. They are unique leisure and cultural experiences as powerful motivators of community pride and development. Festivals and events can provide a sense of authenticity and uniqueness especially when based on inherent and indigenous values. They can provide a sense of com- munity; a sense of focused celebration all in an affordable and democratic social context. Defining Events An event can have a specific purpose and a focussed outcome, for example to mark an occasion – birthdays/ anniversaries; to market a product launch – product launch; to entertain - concert. Events are often now categorised by their size.
