Welcome to a new week, full of new opportunities to enjoy all the music, film, and other fun things to do in Los Angeles.
Apocalypse Now: Final Cut Screening with Francis Ford Coppola
Monday, August 12
Apocalypse Now debuted 40 years ago, and now filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and star Laurence Fishburne are reuniting for this special anniversary screening at the Cinerama Dome. The print they’ll show is a freshly restored version, made directly from the original film negatives. Coppola and Fishburne will take questions after the film.
Everything’s Coming Up Barbara
Tuesday, August 13
One-woman shows by Broadway grande dames like Elaine Stritch and Liza Minelli are practically a theater genre unto themselves. In Everything’s Coming Up Barbara, Groundlings vet Leah Sprecher pokes a bit of fun at the concept, staging an “autobiographical” show as the fictional Barbara Cook, a woman full of wild backstage stories.

Club Heartbreak with Mark Ronson
Thursday, August 15
“Enjoy. Dance. Cry. Do your thing.” is the motto of Mark Ronson’s Club Heartbreak, a celebration of sad bangers. Tonight, the party takes over Catch One, featuring sets by the Uptown Funk-ster himself, along with a bevy of friends and guests.
The Hip-Hop Way of Life
Friday, August 16
This panel discussion brings together a group of people who identify as part of hip-hop culture–even though none of them are rappers themselves.

The event is presented in conjunction with Contact High: A Visual History of Hip-Hop, currently on view at the Annenberg Space for Photography.
