"Using Theater as a vehicle for Social change, Kenyatta is powerful & poignant, entertaining & educational, heartfelt & humorous, the show celebrates our common humanity." Cape Cod Times.

Celebrate the 4th of July holiday as Santa Monica Playhouse pays homage to Paul Robeson with film, TV and stage personality Stogie Kenyatta’s acclaimed NAACP Award-Winning solo show about the renowned African-American artist-activist. Robeson – internationally renowned actor, recording artist, concert singer, football player, All-American athlete and Phi Beta Kappa Society laureate at Rutgers University, was witness to the artistic wonders of the Harlem Renaissance and the Jazz/Be-bop era, the horrors of the slave trade, the shame of the Holocaust, McCarthyism, blacklists, racism and oppression.

Robeson’s life’s work celebrates our common humanity as he fought globally for social justice. “Armed with nothing more than the strength of his convictions and his vision of a world where men live as brothers, his message was his life," says Kenyatta. “He shows us that in spite of our differences, we still have more in common than we do in conflict.” Jamaican born and Brooklyn bred Stogie Kenyatta has been seen on everything from sitcoms and film to soap operas, from Bernie Mac and Jake and the Fat Man to HBO’s Tyson (Co-star) to The Bold and The Beautiful. He co-headlined a USO comedy tour in Tokyo, Japan and Okinawa. “The World Is My Home – The Life of Paul Robeson” had its first performance at the National Civil Rights Museum and has become the number one show on the American college scene, honoring a great American hero.

Rated for ages 14 and up, The World is My Home, educational, entertaining and empowering, gives younger audiences a deeper understanding of the historical significance of Black Lives Matter, reminding us all of the vital importance of our on-going attention to and fight for social justice and reform.

Santa Monica Playhouse is supported in part by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, the Ahmanson Foundation and Playhouse PALS.

$20 suggested donation classes are held in outdoor settings, inviting in the elements of nature to nourish the soul. 100% of the proceeds are donated to non-profits to give back to mother earth and other worthy causes.

Coastal California is the land of sun, sand, and surf. It is ingrained in the lifestyle, sold to tourists and residents alike so much so that if you conduct an internet search for “California surfer” you will be inundated by pictures of men and women who are overwhelmingly young, white, and fit. However, these images do not reflect reality and exclude many historically underrepresented and excluded communities, sending the message that surfing isn’t for them.

This Gray Wing exhibition will build upon the photojournalistic work of Southern California artist Gabriella Angotti-Jones whose “I Just Wanna Surf” book highlights Black female and non-binary surfers as well as other unseen or outright ignored communities that ride the waves off the Golden State. The exhibition will explore the history of California surfing from a socio-political perspective through the work of additional Central Coast and California artists that represent the impacted communities.

Additional artists include Vernon Ah Kee, Sandow Birk, Stephen Milner, Tracey Moffatt, Kunyalala Ndlovu, Catherine Opie, Shea Somma, and Joni Sternbach.

Friday nights under the stars at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden

Nothing gets between Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) and her board. Living in a beach shack with three roommates (Michelle Rodriguez, Sanoe Lake, Mika Boorem) including her rebellious younger sister, she is up before dawn every morning to conquer the waves, counting down the days until the Rip Masters surf competition. Anne Marie finds all she needs in the adrenaline-charged surf scene until pro quarterback Matt Tollman comes along. Like it or not, Anne Marie starts losing her balance as she falls for Matt. (John Stockwell, 2002, PG-13, 104 min.)

Bring breathable blankets or a low chair, a picnic and your friends!

Join Joan Kemper’s Ojai Performing Arts Theater for the song fest of the summer on Saturday, June 29 at 7 p.m.. The sonorous, seductive, and luscious voices of Douglas Ladnier and Laura Dekkers, accompanied by the musical wizardry of Andy Street, will serenade you with some of the most captivating songs ever penned in a spectacular benefit. “Songs for a Summer Night.” offers an unforgettable evening of timeless theatrical classics…glorious music from “Les Miz,” “Phantom,” “Jekyll & Hyde,” and more. It’s an enchanted evening…you’ve got a lot of listening to do!

Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek (and listen) to a number of gorgeous songs from OPAT’s upcoming production of Sondheim’s “Into the Woods,” sung by the remarkably powerful cast members.

Folks may remember Douglas Ladnier from his tuneful and “swoonful” turn as El Gallo in “The Fantasticks.” He’s also an award-winning singer and songwriter, just nominated for a Daytime Emmy for writing “Shine” for “General Hospital.” Douglas also played 11 roles in the original Broadway production of “Jekyll & Hyde,” has starred in such shows as “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Dracula” and “Phantom of the Opera,’ and performed in nightclubs in more than 65 countries around the world. The New York Times calls him, simply, “the best.”
Laura Dekkers, a Nordhoff High grad, worked with some of the most respected directors on Broadway, Diane Paulus, Trevor Nunn, and Harold Prince, in such shows as “The Woman in White,” “Red Sox Nation,” and “Paradise Lost.” Other fave roles include “1776,” “Oklahoma.” and “Evita,” and in Ojai, “Grand Hotel” and “Man of La Mancha,” in the powerful role of Aldonza/Dulcinea.

Make sure you secure your tickets, for this is a one-night-only event that is sure to become the buzz of the summer. Tickets for this OPAT benefit are $40 for General Admission, $20 for students, and $125 for VIP tickets. The premium tickets include admission, parking, VIP seating, and entrance to the spectacular after-party, catered by the incomparable Mike Gaidano, who plans a not-to-be-forgotten experience, filled with fine wines, and delicious finger foods. In addition, they will hold the party on the stage, where the music and camaraderie will continue, and where you can mingle with the performers. It promises to be a fabulous night, indeed! Go to ojaitheater.org for your ticket to the festivities.
