What’s Happening in Los Angeles
Friday, Dec. 1
The Sound of Music @
Egyptian Theatre
The hills surrounding Los Angeles will definitely
be alive for The Sound of Music, the classic film starring Julie
Andrews. The film, directed by Robert Wise won the Oscar for Best
Picture and why not, what with the film’s magnificent shots of
the Austrian Alps and the impeccable story of The Von Trapp Family
Singers. Tonight’s screening will give every “doe a deer, a
female deer” fan a good smile in the face, as the film will be
showcased in 70mm. Egyptian Theatre is located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd.
in Hollywood. For more information visit www.egyptiantheatre.com.

Match Game @ UCB Theatre
The classic fill in the blank game, which we loved,
well maybe your parents loved way back when, has now returned. This
time not in the safety of our television screens but rather through the
comedic geniuses that dwell within the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
in Los Angeles. Contestants picked straight out of the audience (hey it
could be you!) vie for cash prizes all the while trying to contain the
laughter whittling inside their stomachs. Guest comedian panelists
include Paul F. Tompkins, Maria Bamford and Rachael Harris. UCB Theatre
is located at 5919 Franklin Avenue in Los Angeles. For more information
visit www.ucbtheatre.com/la.

Candy Cane Lane Holiday Lights @ Candy Cane Lane Neighborhood
Going back 50 years, the residents of Woodland
Hills have made Candy Cane Lane a Christmas tradition. The streets,
which make up Candy Cane Lane, are adorned with lights, figures, and a
plethora of fake snow. It’s a feast for the eyes as visitors from
all over bask in the pageantry. And yes… you’re sure to see
Santa, a few reindeer and the jolly Mr. Snowman but as our brains have
become fixated within the fabric of the mainstream you’ll see
your favorite nativity scene paired up with the good ole’ Sponge
Bob Squarepants. Candy Cane Lane Neighborhood is located at
Lubao Avenue and Oxnard Street in Woodland Hills. For more information
please call 818-347-4737.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers @ Staples Center
The Los Angeles Lakers are sitting nice and pretty
atop the Pacific Division of the Western Conference with a record of
9-4. Sure, most of the games have been at home (all under the new
lights out motif) but you still can’t deny the proven success of
the triangle offense and the phenomenon that is Kobe Bryant. The Lakers
do have a tough task ahead of them, as they will match up with an
Eastern conference contender, the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
Staples Center is located at 1111 South Figueroa Street in Los Angeles.

A Christmas Carol @
Glendale Centre Theatre
The Charles Dickens tale is the quiessential
Christmas story. For those living under a rock for the past century,
Ebenezer Scrooge was one of the most wicked of characters, consumed by
greed he was haunted by three ghosts (Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of
Christmas Present and Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come). And while
this may sound a bit Halloween, true to the Christmas spirit, lessons
are learned and goodness is spread throughout. Check out this classic
retelling during the holiday season. You don’t want to be thought
of as a scrooge. Glendale Centre Theatre is located at 324 North Orange
St. in Glendale. For more information visit www.glendalecentretheatre.com
