L.A. Stories, a mini-series of free performances, celebrates Los Angeles fiction and the writers who changed the literary face of Southern California.

Pacific Standard Time: Art In LA 1945-1980 is an unprecedented collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.  Initiated through grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time will take place for six months beginning October 2011.
