In For A Penny: Expanded Script Fresh from our Best Drama-Nominated run in the Hollywood Fringe, In For A Penny returns in an expanded telling, further exploring Crystal Keith's themes of feminism, patriarchy, and survival in a world where everyone knows they're on their own. The consistent response in our overwhelmingly positive audience reviews was We want more: more story, more drama, more time with these fascinating characters navigating terrible circumstances. Please join us for a work-in-progress presentation of the first evening length draft (running approximately 75 minutes, from the 55 in our Fringe version). Dr. James Bryant is tops in the field of forensic criminology. But when a single fluke step pushes him through a time tunnel to the year 1888, he finds himself at the murder scene of Jack the Ripper’s first victim. Gripped by the possibility of catching the original serial killer, Bryant works tirelessly to identify the unknown murderer before he can complete his gruesome agenda. Challenged by the two women in his life: a Whitechapel sex worker in 1888 and his brilliant, driven, transgender assistant in 2024, Bryant is forced to confront his own benevolently patriarchal tendencies, while racing against time to save the four remaining victims. Can he make the world safer by literally dwelling in the past? Only time will tell.

The World Series is contested between the champion teams of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL), with the winner determined through a best-of-seven playoff. The 2024 World Series will feature the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, two teams that had high preseason expectations and finished with the top spot in their respective leagues. Game 1 will take place on Friday, October 26th at Dodger Stadium in California. This clash between the two historic franchises marks their 12th meeting in the World Series, the most in MLB history. The last time they faced off was in 1981, with the Dodgers emerging victorious in six games. In previous World Series matchups, the Yankees have held the upper hand, triumphing in eight out of the 11 encounters. Get ready for an intense and thrilling showdown as these baseball powerhouses battle for the championship title.

Iván fled to Israel to escape the conflict with his father, where he now lives as an Orthodox Jew and has started a family, maintaining contact only with his mother (Ágnes Máhr) back in Budapest. When his mother dies unexpectedly, Iván returns home with his six-year-old son (Leo Gagel) to observe a week of mourning and shiva in his parents' house, in accordance with Jewish traditions.

Bethany Joy Lenz starred in the hit TV series One Tree Hill. Her other acting credits include Guiding Light, Grey’s Anatomy, Charmed, Felicity, Suits, Dexter, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She is also a recording artist who has released several albums. Lenz currently cohosts the podcast Drama Queens and is the founder/editor-in-chief of the broadsheet newspaper Modern Vintage News. In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who often had to fend for herself and always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister—a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse, and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. Family “minders” assigned to her on set, “Maoist struggle session”–inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counseling with “Leadership” were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal. Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to leave and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill superfan), she finally managed to escape the family’s grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered her relationship with God and her understanding of faith. Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.

1301PE is pleased to present its sixth solo exhibition with internationally revered Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija entitled “NO MORE REALITY (FOR PP)”. In August 2020, Tiravanija collected American newspapers that are still published daily. This is the starting point for “NO MORE REALITY” which references Philippe Parreno’s seminal 1991-93 series of work. Focusing on this phrase in large painted text which forms an expansive floor to ceiling installation, while upstairs Tiravanija refines it to a single text per the front and back page of the newspaper. The phrase continually renews itself through Tiravanija’s work and finds new relevancy each time it is exhibited–it purposefully welcomes its reinterpretation and renewal. The phrase “NO MORE REALITY,” which invites a certain interpretation, pushes back on the viewer’s preconceived notions commenting not on the news itself but of the interpretation of the news. The varied newspapers come from different towns with different ideas, politics and beliefs which in turn is reflected by what is valued and displayed by the local news. “Everywhere, we feel the shift of power under our feet; how can we not address it, even with our tongues in our cheeks!” -Rirkrit Tiravanija For more than thirty years, Tiravanija’s work has had resounding effects on the entire field of contemporary art. Participation, both active and passive, has been a primary element of his artistic practice, which in a way that is unique to Tiravanija dissolves the onlooker and object dichotomy.

This sprawling exhibit explores the profound impact and influence that hip-hop music and culture has had on the United States and the world since it burst forth in the Bronx 50 years ago. The Mixtape Exhibit delves deep into the sounds, scenes and history of hip-hop music, dance, graffiti, fashion, business, and activism. On view are rarely displayed artifacts from Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., MC Lyte, Lil Wayne, Slick Rick, Egyptian Lover, Eminem, and many others, and visitors can make their own hip-hop music with five unique interactives. The exhibit was curated by a team of four co-curators who bring a deep knowledge of hip-hop, academic rigor and creativity to the project: Felicia Angeja Viator, associate professor of history, San Francisco State University, author of To Live And Defy In LA: How Gangsta Rap Changed America, and one of the first women DJs in the Bay Area hip-hop scene; Adam Bradley, professor of English and founding director of the Laboratory for Race and Popular Culture (the RAP Lab) at UCLA, and co-editor of The Anthology of Rap; Jason King, dean, USC Thornton School of Music and former chair of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU; and Dan Charnas, associate arts professor, NYU Clive Davis Institute of Music, and author of Dilla Time: The Life And Afterlife Of The Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm. The co-curators worked in conjunction with GRAMMY Museum Chief Curator and VP of Curatorial Affairs Jasen Emmons as well as a 20-member Advisory Board.

Ed Ruscha has consistently held up a mirror to American society by transforming some of its defining attributes—from consumer culture and popular entertainment to the ever-changing urban landscape—into the very subject of his art. In 1956, Ruscha left Oklahoma City to study commercial art in Los Angeles, where he drew inspiration from the city’s architectural landscape—parking lots, urban streets, and apartment buildings—and colloquial language. As his first comprehensive, cross-media retrospective in over 20 years, ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN traces Ruscha’s methods and familiar subjects throughout his career and underscores the many remarkable contributions he has made well beyond the boundaries of the art world. The exhibition includes his early works produced while traveling through Europe, his installations—such as the Chocolate Room and the Course of Empire presented at the Venice Biennale in 1970 and 2005, respectively—and his ceaseless photographic documentation of the streets of Los Angeles beginning in 1965.
