Bringing Arts and Culture to Life in Santa Monica

There's nothing
like spring in Santa Monica to get you out of the house and into some art.
If you're still nesting and not quite ready to leave home yet, you'll find
comfort and security at the
Arena 1 Gallery
where some of LA's most innovative artists explore the issues of home in
their work. Or perhaps the swashbuckling heroes and endangered damsels of
The Scarlet Pimpernel
will get you going. Or if your tastes leans to the classical,
Cantori Domino
presents an evening of stirring music by
Bach to
roust you from your winter slumber. And if you just need a stroll in the
bright spring sunshine to help you escape this winter's hibernation, check
out some of the work at
Bergamot Station
- there's art galore to be found in the complex's multitude of galleries.

Sir Percy and
Lady Marguerite Blakeney’s escapades during the French Revolution’s Reign of
Terror are brought to life in this action packed musical adaptation of
Baroness
Emmuska Orczy’s
novel. It’s a story of adventure and romance with a dashing hero, his
beautiful actress wife, his secret identity as an effete fop, a fanatical
revolutionary soldier, plots and counterplots, daring escapes and bold
rescues. And lots of music!
