Noteworthy 9/30-10/7/26: summer fun is gone, but great performances still on calendar - Santa Monica Mirror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
But before we celebrate our precious arts. Let’s show up to demand protection of them, and all the American freedoms. We don’t keep any of them without our right to vote, and we have a regime doing everything in its power, legal or not, Constitutional or not, to prevent people from voting, to steal this upcoming election (and all the ones to follow). That’s why this one is called “No kings – Vote early.” The next national day of protest and positive activism is SAT, OCT. 17, all over LA, all ove
Curious City 09/25/26: Santa Monica City Council politics explained - Santa Monica Mirror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s complicated, hidden, messy, dirty – really dirty. It’s a wonder we can find any decent human beings to fight for the positions. But this year, I’d say, we have. Don’t get too excited – not that many. But more than zero is something to celebrate. After years of avoiding local politics, and then a couple of decades of taking a closer look, I have developed my own insights. They may not be your insights. Hopefully, with an open mind, you may find some of what I observe to be useful. I have lon
SM.a.r.t Column: Is Santa Monica’s Beach Repair a Sign of Things to Come? - Santa Monica Mirror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Santa Monica is rebuilding the beach south of the Pier after Hurricane Marie pushed the high-tide line nearly 100 feet inland, wiped out the planned site of the Ocean Way Festival, and forced the City into an emergency response that includes moving sand, building a protective berm, and considering whether additional sand will have to be imported. City Hall is responding to the immediate damage, but the repair effort raises a larger question that has received almost no public attention: whether S
Curious City 08/28/26: Are you ready to vote? - Santa Monica Mirror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Really ready? Oh yeah. I know my good guys from my bad guys, and I’m ready to mark my ballot, like a Good American Voter. Plenty of time. Right, 53 days. But this one might be different. The bad guys might not just be on the ballot; they might be the folks, your elected “leaders,” who will be trying to keep you from voting. You may not have followed all that, but it is for sure real. Faced with certain defeat for “his party” (except Trump seems only to care about the consequences for himself if
Noteworthy 9/9-16/26: Last Chance for “lost” Donizetti opera - Santa Monica Mirror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Opera people can afford. That was the crazy notion of Josh Shaw 15 years ago. Quality, groundbreaking opera at a fraction of what the big guys have to charge. Imagine the task of starting an opera company from scratch. You need sets, costumes, music, librettos, musicians, talented performers (singing and acting), directors, rehearsal and performance spaces. And in LA, you are competing with that big established company downtown, that gets big grants, and still has to charge a few hundred bucks a
