Santa Monica’s Arts Scene Is On Fire | Los Angeles News

Culture’s buzzing in town with deep theater, fresh classics, and live music that’ll make you feel every note. Ruskin Group Theatre extends “Grangeville,” a gut-wrenching brotherhood tale by Samuel D. Hunter, while Theatricum Botanicum reimagines “Romeo and Juliet” in Gilded Age NYC and resurrects “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” — their longest-running show since 1973. Poets take on ageism head-on at “Women in a Golden State” with O-Lan Jones’ soulful soundtrack. Jazz lovers can’t miss the Hot Club of LA’s Monday night residency at Cinema Bar, channeling Django Reinhardt’s magic. Blues fans should catch Toledo Diamond’s 25-year legacy at Harvelle’s — where fifties jazz meets dance and pure groove. And for laughs and sharp commentary, “The Daily Show” delivers its sharpest cast yet, even if Jon Stewart’s antics occasionally tip into chaos.
