This weekend in Santa Monica we’ve
got fantastic family fare absolutely everywhere! In
this issue of the Palette, we’re taking the kids out and
having a blast!. There are plays, festivals and concerts
each of which is a perfect family outing. So, give the
babysitter the weekend off, or borrow a couple of kids
from some parents who desperately need a break and let’s
go have some fun!

ReDiscover will hold art
workshops this Sunday at the Unity Resource
Fair
|
And one more thing for the grownups in the room!
Walking down Fourth Street I just noticed that
The Sharks, featuring
Dennis Quaid will be playing
Harvelles on Friday night. Their
website is never up-to-date but give them a call at
310/395.1676 for details. |

The Fun Stuff You Ever Wanted! |

Tonight’s
Santa Monica Playhouse production
explores issues that affect both sides of the
Atlantic in both English and Japanese. See the
American Cultural Youth Ambassadors
before they take the show to Japan this spring
and stick around afterward forrefreshments and a
chance to meet the cast.
I mean what I say and I say what I mean when I
tell you to visit the
Santa Monica
Main Library on Saturday for an all
day long Seuss-tacular Seuss-A-Bration.
The day will include crafts, face-painting,
movies, readings, pictures with the Cat
in the Hat himself, refreshments, and
tons more. Recommended for ages 4 and up. Check
it out at http://www.smplkids.org/program_calendar/kids_cal.pdf
Just keep an eye out for the Lorax!
The
Santa Monica Symphony will present
a program featuring Brahms’ Symphony Number
4 and Dvorak’s Czech Suite Sunday
afternoon in the
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
These free concerts are a much-loved community
tradition. Remember, the love of classical
music starts when we're still young and this is
one concert where you can definitely afford to
bring the kids! |

Now Playing at Miles Playhouse |

Fafalo
is a fairy tale about a most unlikely
candidate who is crowned king in the mythical
kingdom of Galliandra. Using colorful Balinese
masks and huge, spectacular puppets to conjure
up the excitement and comedy of the circus,
Ziggurat Theatre Ensemble creates
a vibrant, topsy-turvy world that's as
astonishing as it is hilarious. Fafalo is a
perfect play for adults and kids over the age of
8.

As the good Doctor Seuss once said,
"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another
one.” Have a terrific weekend, everyone!
And don't forget The Second Annual Santa Monica
