We love this place. It is located right in Torrance in the Torrance Cultural Arts Center. It is perfect. Parking is not only free, it is easy. I am disabled and was able to have my husband drive me right to the front and drop me off. He then parked himself and we met at the front.This is an all volunteer staff and they are lovely. They will help you find your seat or buy what you want. They have beer and wine and snacks. You can have them in the lobby or in their adorable outdoor seating error. I don't think you can take in anything but water, I just don't recall. They also have soda and all their snacks are in the cute logo bags. You can tell the volunteers are proud of this place and they should be.There is not a bad seat in the house. The seats are comfortable and the entire space is spotless. You can even go outside if you need a break or there is an intermission.We took out grandson to the see The Bill Withers Songbooks and it was amazing. The sound was perfect. The singer and his band were just great and he sounded like Mr. Withers. He also did some of his own music and it was great.Getting in and out is easy. The patrons are nice. The staff is the best,There is nothing not to like so you must go. Use their website or Google TOCA and you will find a list of upcoming events. The area is safe, it is all just wonderful.
Morewas here to day to watch a japanese animation, it was quite nice and comfortable. parking was easy and smooth
MoreLA's best undiscovered park, like what Echo Park would be if it were not overrun by tourists. Stroll, relax, have a picnic, take a nap on the grass. It's perfect for all these things.
MoreSome friends gave us tickets to see a musical group called Klezmer Juice. We had no idea what it would be like. It turned out to be a group of musicians who performed jazzed-up versions of Hebrew and Yiddish folk songs. Interesting concept, but who really wants to listen to songs like Hava Nagila for two hours??
