The big theater hit and Olivier-winning play of this season in London is about a famous author, one whose works have touched so many children, mine included.

A self-made media mogul of legendary success, Byron’s story is not only astonishing, it’s awe-inspiring and indisputably unique.

Director/adapter Mike Flanagan has done a masterful job of bringing this tale to the screen.

The city of Beverly Hills’ Community Services Department has announced that the 2025 Concerts on Canon summer season will kick off with the popular band, Upstream, on June 5 at 6 p.m.

The Beverly Canon Gardens was overflowing with spectators on May 24 as opera singer Golda Zahra performed a free concert at 6:30 p.m., the first of a four-part summer series Zahra is hosting across Los Angeles.

At its May 20 Study Session, the Beverly Hills City Council heard presentations for the proposed Great Elephant Migration Art Exhibition to take place at Beverly Gardens Park in July 2025. 

At the Writers Guild Theater on May 21, a panel of activists and professionals discussed the experience of living proudly as a Jewish person in the wake of Oct. 7 and with antisemitism on the rise.

The spring Beverly Hills Art Show takes place this weekend, May 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Beverly Gardens Park.
