A Mother’s Journey: Photographs from Orissa,
India, by Tara Colburn
Fowler Museum
Dec. 7 to Feb. 29

Colburn set out on a journey to India to find her son, who had
joined the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, but
came back with a wealth of amazing photographs from rarely viewed
parts of rural India. Though the Los Angeles photographer passed
away earlier this year, her work lives on. Free admission for
students.

“Embedded”
The Actors’ Gang Theater
Extended through Feb. 1

Written and directed by activist/actor Tim Robbins, the new play
from the Actors’ Gang is set during a barely fictional
version of the war in Iraq, complete with war-mongering White House
staffers, complicit journalists and homesick troops. Perhaps not
the most uplifting of holiday theater offerings, but certainly one
of the more timely. Tickets are $25, $15 for students. For more
information, call (323) 465-0566, Ext. 15, or visit
