“Pure, lively (and live) entertainment! It is remarkable to see two dozen children abandon their electronic devices to watch a live stage performance and, when prompted, hear their advice and warnings called out to the heroine. SNOWHITE at Santa Monica Playhouse provides such a theatrical (and non-CGI) experience.” Tolucan Times. “It was great!” Richard Dean Anderson. This captivating Rudie-DeCarlo musical tale of companionship, coming-of-age, and the magical bond between mothers and daughters, takes audiences on a magical adventure as our beloved heroine journeys to find herself, her mother, and her true destiny, aided by Seven Silly Companions and a Most Magical Mirror. No evil Stepmother here, no shadowy forests or villainous potions; just a wondrously humorous and touching story of friendship, dedication and discovery, as Snowhite, and the audience, learn that love does, indeed, conquer all, even though it can sometimes be found in the most unlikely places. Special birthday parties available for both performances.

Author Janet Dowling Sands returns to present new insights and little-known episodes of history from the just-published 2nd edition of her popular book "On a Mission: The Real Story of the California Missions."

The California missions are beloved historical sites, but they tell a far more interesting and important story than one might imagine—one that is linked to global history, geopolitics, and to the founding of the country.

Part big-picture, carefully researched historical narrative and part travel guide the book is a beautifully illustrated volume that begins with the prehistory of California’s native peoples and describes the global context of the Spanish missions while examining their impact and legacy for modern California. Ms. Sands raises important questions about how we should think about the mission era and the missions themselves, and presents the missions as they appear today, highlighting their architectural styles and rare works of art.

Walt Disney’s beloved animated masterpiece 101 Dalmatians is a spot-on, puppy-filled adventure. When Dalmatians Pongo and Perdita have 15 puppies, Cruella De Vil attempts to buy the litter from its owners.

Join Pongo and a heroic cast of irresistible tail-wagging characters as they set out to rescue the puppies from one of Disney’s most fabulously outrageous villains of all time.
