FREE Entry, Every Tuesday in September

The dinosaur rules this museum the way they ruled the Earth for 185,000,000 years. The recently opened exhibition is considered one of the world’s best. Every bone was meticulously pieced together from disparate excavation sites to re-create a real size skeletal facsimile of four species of dinosaurs. Fossil displays leave clues as to what behaviors these massive creatures implemented to survive as long as they did. The work put into designing and curating the new Dino Hall is truly impressive.

The Mammal Hall was just renovated and features some clever interactive components that kids old and young will adore. Insects (including a separate building known as the Spider Pavilion), birds, Native American artifacts, and a room highlighting California history round out what should be a fascinating three hour adventure at the museum.

“The Manor”: Part of L.A. Theater History

Greystone Park and Mansion in Beverly Hills, with its impeccably landscaped English gardens, spectacular views of the city, and Tudor-style architecture, was the estate of oil tycoon Edward R. Doheny. A fictionalized story by Kathrine Bates has become a summer theatrical fixture, retelling the family tragedy of Doheny’s involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal and his son’s murder.

Theatre 40’s critically-acclaimed, iconic drama of history, mystery, mayhem, and intrigue, returns to the scene of the original crime. Audiences are again snooping behind actors through several ornately decorated rooms of Greystone’s first floor as murder, madness and murky secrets are revealed. Its memories of past enigmas make Greystone an ideal summer destination for a grand performance of “The Manor.”

Back for a record 11th consecutive year, “The Manor” continues as one of the most dynamic productions in L.A. theater history.
