Odyssey Theatre Ensemble

Caroline Aaron (The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as
Rachel in the West Coast premiere
of The Best Medicine,
a laugh-out-loud, open-hearted comedy about marriage, resilience and
unexpected joy. A
free
spirit
who
has
long
prized
her
independence,
Rachel has finally
found
a
relationship
worthy
of
commitment.
Then the
universe
decides
to
test
her.
That “in sickness and in health” vow becomes a distant
memory when Rachel’s husband is diagnosed with Parkinson’s,
thrusting her suddenly into the job she’s least suited for:
self-sacrificing caregiver. A
stand-up
comedy
class
becomes
her
salvation
and
a
portal
to
a
transformative
truth
about
life
and
connection.
More
than
a
romantic
comedy,
The
Best Medicine
is
a
hilarious,
poignant
and
unexpected
exploration
of
love,
purpose
and
meaning.

REDCAT ROY AND EDNA DISNEY/CALARTS THEATER

Every order decides what belongs and what is left outside.&nbsp;Order and Its Others listens at the margins through works that organize sound, power, freedom, and collectivity in radically different&nbsp;ways.
The evening opens with a triptych of works that place the individual body, voice, and imagination under pressure. Sofia Gubaidulina’s physically charged&nbsp;Dancer on a Tightrope, Gabriella Smith’s vivid and propulsive&nbsp;Carrot Revolution, and Luigi Nono’s&nbsp;La fabbrica illuminata move between precarity, transformation, and resistance, asking how a person might assert freedom within structures that seek to contain or overwhelm&nbsp;them.
The second half of the program is devoted to Louis Andriessen’s De Staat, a forceful meditation on music, politics, and the ensemble as a social body. Written in response to Plato’s&nbsp;Republic, De Staat takes up the ancient claim that music can threaten the state by turning the score into a political argument that doubts its own power even as it makes it: can music ever be free from the institutions and ideologies that decide what gets played, who gets to play it, and how we&nbsp;listen?
Across the evening, the ensemble turns sound into a living system, negotiating hierarchy, interdependence, and the tension between the individual and the whole. The players form an order, test where it holds and where it breaks, and ask what—or who—remains at its edges. To play together, the program suggests, is to practice democracy and perhaps even imagine another&nbsp;order.
Democracy Sessions returns in October 2026 for an expanded festival of music and performance taking place across Los Angeles. Building on the inaugural festival, organized by Wild Up and MOCA, presented in the days immediately following the 2024 US Presidential Election, this new iteration takes place in a moment shaped by censorship, polarization, and shifting public trust, and asks how art can function as a democratic practice—a means of gathering, listening, speaking, and acting together. Developed by Wild Up in partnership with MOCA, REDCAT, and CalArts, with related programming presented in collaboration with more organizations to be announced. Democracy Sessions 2026 is timed to align with the weeks leading up to the US midterm elections, and seeks to position music as a living civic practice and a space where free expression, cooperation, and collective action can be rehearsed in real&nbsp;time.

On Sunday, October 11; between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. CicLAvia will celebrate its 16th year and 68th car-free open streets event bringing joy to Angelenos, catalyzing vibrant public spaces, active transportation and good health through car-free streets. CicLAvia—Heart of LA, connects several historic Los Angeles neighborhoods, welcoming everyone of all ages and abilities to enjoy this day of 6.5-mile of open streets. Always free, enjoy the day by walking, jogging, biking, roller skating, skating, chilling, or simply spectating. Participants can show up anywhere along the route between 9am-4pm to enjoy the open streets, take the time to explore, and see where the day takes you.
Imagine streets alive with joy, laughter, and the freedom to roam. CicLAvia
is a nonprofit organization that has been opening streets throughout Los Angeles County for 16 years. It transforms city streets into a car-free celebration of community, connection, and possibility — places where participants can slow down, connect, and appreciate the city in a new way. CicLAvia is about reimagining our city streets as welcoming spaces for everyone — places for walking, running, rolling, skating, cycling, gathering, and enjoying the moment. 
CicLAvia—Heart of LA includes four (4) hubs filled with plenty of activities and programs along the route. Hubs are walking zones (mandatory dismounts) and meeting points along the route which include the Echo Park Hub located on Bellevue Ave off of Glendale Blvd by the south side of Echo Park Lake; Chinatown Hub located on N Broadway north of College St; Little Tokyo Hub located on S Central Ave south of 1st St; and Mariachi Plaza Hub located on 1st St east of S Boyle Ave. Hubs offer free family-friendly activities, restrooms, free water refilling stations, free basic bike repair, bike parking, places to sit and meet up with friends and family, and first aid. Free pedicab rides are available at each hub’s information booth. 
Only people-powered vehicles are allowed.
