SAMOHI Students Create Beautiful Music

An Encore Performance at Highways

Circadian Rhythms Beat On At Miles

Interactive Family Theatre

Lowbrow is High Brow!

SAMOHI Students Create Beautiful Art, Too!

One of Santa Monica's most brilliant jewels can be found in the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District's music program.  The orchestras, bands, choral groups are without argument some of the best in California - if not the nation.  You'll see - or hear - what I mean when the Santa Monica High School Choral Department presents the Spring Choral Concert on Friday night. Come and hear the beautiful music performed by the SAMOHI Choral Students and experience this outstanding program first hand. 

Three artists/activists created this powerful work with an ensemble of four veterans all recovering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  The performance considers how veterans re-enter civilian life after their staggering combat experiences and ask us, the audience, to examine our own role in this process.  It's heady stuff - potent and powerful.  The show played to sold-out audiences on its first run at Highways and has been brought back due to both its popularity and its important message.

Circadian Rhythms finishes off its run this weekend at the Miles Playhouse.  I've heard from several people that this is a truly terrific performance.  So, see it while you can!

Life with the Widow Douglas is just way too civilized so Huck Finn and Jim row down river in search of treasure and adventure. But instead of treasure, their big adventure entails being captured by two bumbling villains who put them to work in their truly awful magic act.  It takes Mark Twain, himself, Tom Sawyer, and every member of the audience to free Huck and Jim in time to make their way home to the Widow.  Huck is a high-energy good time for the whole family with plenty of opportunities for the audience to be a part of the show.

The Advanced Placement art students at SAMOHI will be showing their work at William Turner’s gallery in a special exhibition sponsored by SAMO4ART .  This will be the first time these students have had an exhibition off campus and it promises to be a terrific afternoon.  In addition to the students’ work, there will be music, food, a raffle and a silent auction with all proceeds going to support the visual art programs at Santa Monica High School.  Don’t miss this chance to support the arts in our schools!
