In the days leading up to the French revolution, an American whaler captivates the minds of the King and Queen with fantastical stories of ghosts, monsters of the deep and democracy.

4. Gallery Two Four presents Janie Meine

Gallery Two Four curator Norma C. Smith presents a photographic exhibit, "Stoned in the Highlands," by Janie Meine. The show is a beautiful series of huge black and white photographs of the Neolithic stone works from the highlands of Great Britain and the Hebrides Islands. Thanks — as always — to David Smith of Electromechanical Services for his laser-perfect installation of this gorgeous exhibit.

5. Bienvenedos and Gracias!

24th Street Theatre is proud to welcome Sandra Tsing Loh to our Advisory Board. We think Sandra is one of the most decent and pertinent artistic voices in Los Angeles today, not to mention one of the funniest. We’re thrilled to have her be a part of the 24th Street Family! So welcome, you naughty girl.

Thanks to LAUSD’s Arts Education Branch and Washington Mutual for sponsoring our March 27, 2004 Professional Development workshop for educators at 24th Street Theatre.

Happy Passover and/or Easter!
