The Norton Simon Museum of Art at Pasadena holds one of the world's finest and most prestigious collections of art. Reflecting the extraordinary effort and vision of its founder, it stands as a tribute to Human Civilizations, the visual arts, and the nobility of individual accomplishment.
The permanent collections consist of Western and Asian art from a period spanning more than 2,000 years. European and American masterpieces including paintings, sculptures, woks on paper and photography are complemented by stunning art works from India and Southeast Asia. The Museum holds an extensive print collection, which includes rare etchings by Rembrandt and Goya as well as a comprehensive collection of Picasso graphics. The collection also includes the Galka E. Scheyer Collection of works by the Blue Four artists: Feininger, Jawlensky, Kandinsky and Klee.
The Museum is housed in a unique building originally designed by architects Ladd & Kelsey in 1969, with recently updated interiors by Frank O. Gehry & Associates. The Museum boasts a truly beautiful garden, inspired by Monet's Giverny.
The Museum is a Pasadena landmark and promotes art education through a variety of programs, which include special exhibitions, tours and lectures.
The 1241-seat outdoor Ford Amphitheatre is set against a backdrop of
cypresses and chaparral in the Hollywood Hills. It is relatively intimate:
no patron is more than 96 feet away from the stage. Music, dance, film,
theatre and family events are presented. The Ford Amphitheatre Season is a program of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.

The Defenders
written and directed by Brian Frette
In an era of unseen enemies with unthinkable agendas, when simply opening your mail or going to your office could prove fatal, when corporations fleece their own, when the threat of bioterrorism lingers in the air, when government agencies fight among themselves and finger-point to lay blame....... can there be any hope?
Zoo District invites you to attend the performance of an original piece of theatre inspired by recent world events..
Tickets $17, Students and Seniors $12*

My Fair Lady – COMING NEXT! My Fair Lady, written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe was one of the most popular musical play of the 1950s. Its initial New York run, which began on March 15, 1956, lasted six and a half years for a total of 2,717 performances. The story of phonetician Henry Higgins, who transforms the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a society lady through teaching her correct speech, was based on the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion and included such musical numbers as I Could Have Danced All Night, On the Street Where You Live, The Rain in Spain, and Get Me to the Church on Time.
