SUMMARY: Thorne Street Parlour staged reading - DOUBLE FEATURE!
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, December 7\, 2025 \nPLAY READING by THORNE STREET PARLOUR \nDOUBLE FEATURE! – for our final reading of 2025\, we offer two one-acts\, showcasing \nthe writing talents of two members of our stalwart TSP team! Flight of Fancy\, by Adam David Green: a postmodern farce that explores the perils of the creative process and asks the question: If you had a choice\, would you choose honesty with yourself over your artistic dreams? Flights is as bizarre as it is heartbreaking and is\, perhaps\, (occasionally) theatrical. (First staged in Hollywood in 2019 Hollywood Fringe). Long Story Short\, by Sean Spence: In a sleepy Los Angeles café just before dawn\, a group of regulars — a Gen-Alpha barista\, a disillusioned writer\, a heartbroken husband\, a fading actress\, and a man without a home — collide over coffee\, dreams\, and disappointments. With a little sarcasm and amoderate amount of caffeine\, they uncover the humor\, hope\, and heartbreak of searching for meaning in a city built on dreams.  \nRSVP here \nAll Readings Begin at 1:00pm Paci \nThorne Street Parlour readings are suppored though a Neighborhood Purpose Grant from The Hermon Neighborhood Council.  \nThorne Street Parlous has been in existence for over 10 years – a groupof theatre-loving friends\, gathering together to read greatscripts. For 10 years we presented an annual season of readings\, initially in our parlour on Thorne Street\, and then via Zoom during COVID. With the parlour currently under renovation\, we’ve chosen to expand for 2025 and present our readings to a larger audience. Operating under the auspices of the Highland Park Heritage Trust\, and with a generous Neighborhood Purpose Grant from the Hermon Neighborhood Council\, we are very pleased to present our slate of performances for this year – all readings take place at Art in The Park in Hermon\, CA. These readings are free and open to the public\, with a light reception to follow. The favor of an RSVP is requested to that we can have an accurate headcount – we hope you can join us for these afternoons of great theatre!   – jj Jackman & Sara Stuckey\, Founders\, Thorne Street Parlour \nrsvp to: thornestreetparlour@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Latin Jazz Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Latin Jazz Sessions with Matthew Hernandez & Sergio Segura \nThursdays (check site for updates) \n4:30pm – 6:00pm\, all ages  \nSign up here! \nThis weekly community band is an introduction to the many popular Latin styles of music from slow and intimate cha cha and boleros to fast paced and high energy salsa\, cumbia\, and merengue. Join us for an eventful start to the first installment of the Latin Jazz Sessions at Art in the Park\, and surprise yourself with how much you could learn in just a few weeks! Sheet music and basic drumming pattern worksheets will be readily available every week. Everyone is free to join this program\, though some musical experience will greatly help in familiarizing patterns and learning songs. Art in the Park has drums and some instruments available for use\, too\, so don’t be shy – stop by and try it out for yourself.  \nMatthew Hernandez is a proud community arts advocate that has dedicated his work to the enrichment of cultural celebration and literacy through music. Understanding how music shapes and reflects cultural awareness and ambitions\, he recognizes the influence that music has over large groups of individuals that share a common ground in beliefs and expression. The main goal for Matthew is to bring those people together to share the same physical space and strengthen bonds through experiencing the ultimate form of expression that creative outlets\, like music\, allow. Being a source for bringing the community together brings him all the joy in the world\, whether it’s through live performance\, group teaching\, volunteer work\, or even just casual conversation with neighbors and friends. He currently studies at the Herb Alpert Music Center’s Applied Music Program at Los Angeles City College and has built a reputation for being the musical coordinator and saxophonist for salsa and latin jazz band\, Timba Tumbao. With his band\, he’s performed all across SoCal\, delivering a fun and high energy live latin dance show. He loves what he does because he gets the opportunity to connect with so many amazing communities and share an inclusive experience full of dancing\, smiles\, and fun memories. “Music is a language without words\, it speaks in only profound emotion and true expression.”  \nBorn and raised in El Sereno\, Los Angeles\, CA\, Sergio Segura has been a musician since theage of 13. Originally a pianist\, he found his passion lied in drums\, specifically Latin percussion drums. Following his musical passion\, Sergio went on to receive his Bachelor of Music at Cal Poly Pomona and his Masters at Cal State LA with an emphasis in Afro Latin Music\, where he studied under legendary Cuban drummer -Calixto Oviedo- learning the fundamentals of Cuban music such as son\, danzon\, cha cha’s rumba and others. Since graduating\, Sergio has been performing with various bands and artists. As of recent he has performed with Colombian cumbia artist Yeison Landero at the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford. He has also opened and shared the stage with the likes of Elvis Crespo\, La Sonora Dinamita\, Grupo Sonador among others at festivals such as Besame Mucho. Growing up first generation Mexican in a disadvantaged community\, Sergio understands the value of having spaces for children and adults to express their artistic side through music. Sergio believes in giving back to his community by sharing his knowledge. He currently continues to gig throughout the U.S. and enjoys teaching and improving his own skills. “Music is lifelong. There is never an end point and there’s always something new to learn.” “Drumming is the extension of our feelings. Everyone should have access to resources and spaces to express themselves\, regardless of the environment theygrow up in.” \nLets help keep each other healthy please stay home if you have any flu like or COVID symptoms.  \ncheck our calendar at  artinthepark.org for updates \nQuestions email info@artintheparkla.org

SUMMARY:Planetary Resonance Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Planetary Resonance by Leslie Ross-Robertson invites viewers on an immersive journey through art\, design\, and sound. At its core is the Planetary Series\, a suite of 10 letterpress prints developed over eight years\, each interpreting the planets and moon through layered imagery\, color\, and form. The series is conceived as a contemporary codex\, with each print acting as a “page” in a visual manuscript. In the gallery\, the prints are presented individually\, allowing viewers to engage with each celestial body on its own while still sensing the overarching narrative and rhythm of the collection. \nFor more information and related events\, see the main Planetary Resonance exhibition page.
