24th Street Theatre

Scientists have discovered that trees communicate through vast
underground networks. But what if one had something to say to us? Set
in a park where only one ancient tree remains, Winter’s Bench
follows Gladys, an elderly woman who has spent a lifetime believing
the tree spoke to her when she was a child, and who waits, even now,
to hear its voice again. At a time when forests are disappearing and
loneliness is on the rise, Winter's Bench invites audiences
to consider what we lose when we stop listening—to nature, to one
another and to the stories that shape us. In keeping with 24th Street
Theatre's commitment to serve the surrounding community, all
performances will feature Spanish supertitles. 24th

First United Methodist Church of Glendale

On Friday, September 11, 2026, Pasadena-based choral ensemble voices/LA invites members of the Glendale, Pasadena, and greater Los Angeles communities to gather for Silence into Song: 2,977 Voices Remembered. This free evening of remembrance and reflection marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks with a live performance of Mozart’s Requiem. Presented in partnership with Glendale First United Methodist Church (GFUMC), the concert aligns with GFUMC’s mission to serve Los Angeles as a sanctuary of radical welcome, healing mind, body, and spirit across diverse communities.
The concert is free and open to the public. This tribute is made possible through generous underwriting from donors and patrons from our community. Voluntary contributions will benefit the Widows, Orphans &amp; Disabled Firefighter's Fund (<a href="https://www.wodff.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.wodff.org</a>), providing vital assistance to the families of first responders.
The concert will begin at 8:00 p.m. on September 11 at 134 N. Kenwood Street in Glendale, offering community members a space for remembrance, reflection, and connection through music. Performed with full orchestra and four guest soloists, the program honors the 2,977 lives lost with Mozart's masterpiece alongside select works dedicated to memory, solidarity, and hope. This performance carries forward a global tradition born on the first anniversary of 9/11, when musicians worldwide staged a rolling performance of Mozart’s Requiem across time zones. Twenty-four years later, voices/LA renews that international legacy of healing through choral music.
"Music provides a vocabulary for grief and hope when words fall short," says Dr. John Sutton, Artistic Director of voices/LA. "Gathering on this 25th anniversary allows us to transform shared silence into a collective song of remembrance and community resilience."
Community members are encouraged to RSVP in advance at <a href="https://www.voicesla.org/event-list" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.voicesla.org/event-list</a>.

<h2>About voices/LA</h2>
Founded by John Sutton following a landmark holiday performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall, voices/LA is becoming one of Southern California's premier auditioned choral ensembles. Composed of elite, auditioned vocalists drawn from five different counties across the Los Angeles metropolitan region, the ensemble acts as a powerful artistic bridge for the greater Southern California community. Guided by a mission to use the transformative power of music as a vehicle for healing and solidarity, voices/LA performs a diverse, challenging repertoire that addresses profound shared human experiences. In July 2026, voices/LA was hand-selected by Oscar-winning composer Howard Shore to perform his score for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in four sold-out concerts with the Pacific Symphony at the Peacock Theater. Entering its second season (2026–2027), voices/LA continues its mission of connection and healing through song.

Skylight Theatre Company

Passive complicity has never been so much fun. Tony award winning/Emmy nominated team presents a fresh take on Frisch’s classic - with relevance to a new generation of Angelenos. It’s wickedly entertaining, menacing, and increasingly hard to laugh off.
Arsonists have begun setting fires in neighboring towns. But that could never happen here—and certainly not in the Biedermanns' home. Everyone sees it coming—no one does anything to stop it. Not even the Greek chorus. A modern parable about what happens when our desire to be good prevents us from doing good. Written in the aftermath of World War II, The Arsonists is a chilling parable about people who see the warning signs, recognize the danger, but no one does anything to stop it.
