Soul Project Dance Company, founded and directed by choreographer Candace Brown, presents its Los Angeles debut with Entries—an evening-length work inspired by the idea of journal entries: moments captured in time, vulnerable, unfiltered, and deeply human. Each entry may reflect on the past, bask in the present, or step into something new—revealing the ways memory, presence, and possibility shape our journeys.
The production weaves together solos, duets, intimate group works, and full ensemble pieces. Each chapter is a living entry—into joy, into longing, into resilience, into transformation. Brown’s choreography blends technical precision with raw, soulful expression, creating movement that feels both personal and universal.

DIY Musical Theatre in association with Chromolume Theatre present Disney's The Little Mermaid!

With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl" and "Part of Your World."
Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs.

PASSION
November 14th- November 30th
Fridays/Saturdays @ 8pm & Sundays @ 3pm
*Sunday, November 23rd @ 3pm & 7pm
Adapted from Ettore Scola’s 1981 film Passione d’Amore, Passion is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most emotional works. Intimate, raw, erotic and dark, it explores universal, yet often unspoken, truths.
At a remote military outpost in 1863 Italy, a handsome army captain, Giorgio, separated from his beautiful – but married – mistress, Clara, is forced to re-evaluate his beliefs about love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly cousin.
