Val Kilmer will present 8 workshop performance of his one man play, Citizen Twain, in a limited run at The Historic Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

“The recent news of my death has been greatly exaggerated.” – Mark Twain

Created and performed by acclaimed actor Val Kilmer, and seen recently in development by sold out audiences in venues in Los Angeles such as Disney Concert Hall, Tim Robbins’ The Actors’ Gang, and The United States Veterans Artists’ Alliance Hall, Mr. Kilmer’s production delves into the heart and soul of Samuel Clemens and conjures forth the great spirit of Mark Twain, America’s greatest storyteller.

Deeply entertaining, with great wit, song and prose, the play weaves Twain’s biographical themes into a play that proclaims and takes joy in the marvel of words, which, as Twain says in the play, “Form the ladder to my heaven.”   Storytelling was a lifeline for Twain, and in Kilmer’s Citizen Twain, this lifeline continues into and after Twain’s death, making it an appropriate choice to perform the show within the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Hollywood My Home Town: An evening with Kevin Thomas 

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

7:30 p.m.

Hollywood Heritage Museum

2100 N. Highland Avenue

(across from the Hollywood Bowl)

Hollywood, CA 90068

www.hollywoodheritage.org

Kevin Thomas is best known as the longest contributing film critic at the Los Angeles Times but in truth, Mr. Thomas’ life in Hollywood goes far beyond his accomplished writings. Mr. Thomas’ family was one of the first families of early Hollywood and owned property along both Hollywood Boulevard (then known as Prospect Avenue), and Cherokee and La Brea Avenues. His family was French in origin and counted among their Hollywood neighbors and friends the noted artist Paul de Longpré and Louis Blondeau, the owner of the road house which eventually became Hollywood’s first film studio.

This evening will provide a rare glimpse into Hollywood history since, as his career progressed, Mr. Thomas could number among his own friends not only well known luminaries like Gloria Swanson, but also Minta Durfee Arbuckle, wife of Roscoe and Gertrude Olmstead, a Valentino co-star. Film historian Robert S. Birchard will host the evening, interviewing Mr. Thomas about his family and career along with a visual presentation of early Hollywood History.

TICKET INFORMATION: 

Hollywood Heritage Members:  $5

Non-Members:  $10 

Doors Open:  7 p.m.

Jens Lekman in the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever

HOLLYWOOD FOREVER

The Masonic Lodge

6000 Santa Monica Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90038

Tickets are $25 

Tickets are ON SALE NOW at: http://hollywoodforever.ticketfly.com

PARKING IS FREE ON SITE 

Doors open: 8:00pm

Show:  9:00pm

Jens Lekman, born and reared in Gothenburg, Sweden, is a songwriter, adventurer and retired bingo hall employee. Traveling our globe as a wide open receptor of all it has to offer, Lekman repurposes for his own oeuvre the world’s great, lost pop hooks of past and present. He breathes into them his droll senses of humor, romance and melody and gives them a newfound buoyancy. Since his 2004 trifecta of EPs (Maples Leaves, Rocky Dennis in Heaven, You Are the Light) and right on through his acclaimed 2007 full-length, Night Falls Over Kortedala, Lekman has made hopeless romantics of us all. In a musical language that has roots in the work of Arthur Russell, The Magnetic Fields, Calvin Johnson and Modern Lovers, Lekman’s songs serve as a reminder to look closer at the world around us, to appreciate the beauty when it’s both in and out of context; at its most heartbreaking, its most loving, and its most absurd.

Laura Marling in the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

HOLLYWOOD FOREVER

6000 Santa Monica Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90038

Tickets are $25

Tickets go ON SALE now at: http://hollywoodforever.ticketfly.com

PARKING IS FREE ON SITE

Doors open: 7:30pm

Show: 8:30pm

In her native England, singer-songwriter Laura Marling, who just turned 21 in February, has often been described as an old soul, wise beyond her years. Her work is indeed preternaturally mature in its worldview and self-assured in its execution, but — as her third album and Ribbon Music debut attests — it’s equally informed by a youthful sort of fearlessness. On A Creature I Don’t Know, Marling is forthright about her emotions, frank about her desires, and she’s not above having a bit of fun before the going gets too rocky. For example, the album’s final track, “All My Rage,” has a purposely misleading title: it’s an exorcism, a celebration, dancing away accumulated trouble on the disc’s liveliest arrangement, a disarmingly upbeat climax to an engrossingly candid journey.

While so many artists of any age attempt to locate their inner child, Marling, with a sometime steely gaze, measures the prerogatives of youth against the looming realities of adulthood – the spectre of mortality, the betrayals of love, the balm of sex, the yearning for companionship, the need for independence. Of late, England has produced some impressively sophisticated young pop artists like Adele, James Blake and the XX, but the folk-oriented Marling remains in a class of her own. As the Times Of London recently posited, “Who else is making music as ambitious, as haunting, as centuries-straddling, as thought-provoking and artistically tenacious as this? And the answer is: nobody. No, really. Not a soul.”
