The Humans Now In Performances | Ahmanson Theatre
JUN 19 – JUL 29, 2018
#TheHumansPlay
Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell reprise their Tony Award®-winning performances in The Humans, exclusively at the Ahmanson. Stephen Karam's The Humans is an uproarious, hopeful, and heartbreaking play that takes place over the course of a family dinner on Thanksgiving. Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate and give thanks at his daughter’s apartment in Lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle pre-war duplex and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the Blake clan’s deepest fears and greatest follies are laid bare. Our modern age of anxiety is keenly observed, with humor and compassion, in this new American classic that won the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play. Led by two-time Tony Award-winning director Joe Mantello, the cast also includes previous Broadway company members Cassie Beck, Lauren Klein, Nick Mills, and Sarah Steele.

Background:
The Music Center (officially named the Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County) is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States.
Located in downtown Los Angeles, The Music Center is home to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Ahmanson Theater, Mark Taper Forum and Walt Disney Concert Hall. Each year, The Music Center welcomes more than 1.3 million people to performances by its four internationally renowned resident companies: Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Opera, Los Angeles Master Chorale, and Center Theatre Group (CTG) as well as performances by the much celebrated dance series, Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center. The center is home to on-going community events, arts festivals, outdoor concerts, participatory arts activities and workshops, and educational programs.
Origin:
In April 1955, Dorothy Chandler, wife of Los Angeles Times publisher Norman Chandler, began fundraising toward a permanent home for the Philharmonic. Ultimately Mrs. Chandler raised almost $20 million in private donations; the County provided the site and raised the remaining $14 million using mortgage revenue bonds.
The rest of the complex was completed in April 1967. The additional venues, the Mark Taper Forum and Ahmanson Theatre, were dedicated on April 19 and 12, 1967, respectively.
When the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion opened its doors on December 6, 1964, the twenty-eight-year-old Zubin Mehta led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a program that included violinist Jascha Heifetz and performances of Strauss' Fanfare and Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major. The Mark Taper Forum, scandalizing the power structure of Los Angeles, according to its artistic director Gordon Davidson, with its provocative opening production of John Whiting's The Devils. The Ahmanson Theatre opened with a performance of the Man of La Mancha by the Civic Light Opera. The first dramatic season at the Ahmanson featured Ingrid Bergman in O'Neill's More Stately Mansions, signaling its intent to marry big-name playwrights with big-name stars.
Since its opening in 1964, The Music Center has seen the American debuts of Simon Rattle and Esa-Pekka Salonen, the world premieres of The Shadow Box, Zoot Suit, Children of a Lesser God, and Angels in America at the Taper, and performances by Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Katharine Hepburn, and Maggie Smith at the Ahmanson.[citation needed] The Philharmonic and L.A. Master Chorale joined forces to provide the accompaniment to Eisenstein's restored silent film classic Alexander Nevsky. While the Civic Light Opera's last season at The Music Center was in 1987, the Los Angeles Music Center Opera was formed in 1986. Its productions have included Wagner's Tristan and Isolde directed by Jonathan Miller and designed by David Hockney.
Peace on Earth:
On Sunday afternoon, May 4, 1969, Peace on Earth by Jacques Lipchitz was dedicated. His sculpture portrays a dove descending to earth with the spirit of peace, symbolized by the Madonna standing inside a tear shaped canopy, supported by a base of reclining lambs. Lawrence E. Deutsch and Lloyd Rigler donated $250,000 to commission a work for the fountain.
Construction of Walt Disney Concert Hall:
On October 23, 2003 The Music Center opened the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, expanding the campus to 11 acres (45,000 m2). The 2,265-seat Concert Hall is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Walt Disney Concert Hall includes the 266-seat Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) and outdoor program areas including the W. M. Keck Foundation Children’s Amphitheatre, seating 250-300 and the Nadine and Ed Carson amphitheatre seating 120.
Performing Arts Venues:
The four main venues of the complex (which also includes some smaller theaters and outdoor amphitheaters) are:
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion: 3,197 seats
Mark Taper Forum: 739 seats
Ahmanson Theatre: 1,600 to 2,007 seats, depending on configuration
Walt Disney Concert Hall: 2,265 seats ~ wikipedia.org

Ziggy Marley joins the cast of FELA! at The Ahmanson Theatre, 1/14
Ziggy Marley joins the cast of FELA! The musical at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. January 14, 2012.
July 4, 2015, We saw Matilda at the Ahmanson Theater, Los Angeles, CA
I bought tickets for my nieces, Tatyana (age 12), Josie (age 7) and Jianna (age 6) to see Matilda the musical, on stage at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles, on July 4, 2015. Unfortunately, Tatyana couldn't go, so I took my mom instead. The girls call her GG for great grandmother. I had just gotten a selfie stick a week prior and thought this would be a good time to break it in. So I brought it and let my nieces try it out in the back of the car. What was I thinking? Josie did the most with it! She took lots of silly selfies of herself and Jianna. Then she made videos singing songs and talking to the camera.
I wasn't a fan of the show but the girls seemed to like it. I just couldn't get with parents treating a little child so cruelly. Anyway, after the show, we headed back to Oxnard and made a pit stop at Macy's in Thousand Oaks. Josie and Jianna decided to pose as manakins on the store displays in the Women's Department. They just stood frozen with the manakins and blended right in. People - even Macy's employees - were convinced until they moved! It was hilarious! I took pictures. Didn't realize when I got home how much Josie used/waisted my memory with her picture/video shenanigans on my phone. But it was funny. Make it a great day! ????
