Coco Queens, written by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author LaDarrion Williams and directed by Jessica E. Williams, will make its Los Angeles premiere at Outside In Theatre. Previews begin October 19, with opening night set for October 25. The limited engagement runs through November 17 at Outside In Theatre Artspace in Highland Park.
Set in a small Alabama town during the 1970s, Coco Queens follows four&nbsp;Black women whose lives have been forever shaped by love, loss,&nbsp;betrayal, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood. Inside Gloria's&nbsp;neighborhood beauty shop, a place where hair is done but souls are&nbsp;restored, generations of women gather for the annual Coco Queens&nbsp;Weekend, a sacred tradition of reflection, laughter, music, food, and healing&nbsp;passed down through the women who came before them.
&nbsp;As old wounds resurface and long-buried secrets come to light, the women&nbsp;are forced to confront colorism, ambition, motherhood, grief, and the cost of&nbsp;chasing dreams in a world determined to divide them. Guided by the&nbsp;enduring spirit of their beloved Girlie and the wisdom of their ancestors,&nbsp;they discover that true healing begins only when the truth is spoken aloud.&nbsp;Blending humor, heart, Southern spirituality, and the rich traditions of Black&nbsp;womanhood, Coco Queens is a moving celebration of resilience,&nbsp;forgiveness, and the women who teach us that even after unimaginable&nbsp;loss, there is always a way back to one another.&nbsp;A Southern story of sisterhood, survival, and the song that refuses to be&nbsp;silenced.

In person: cartoonist Nathan Gelgud and critic A. S. HamrahBefore Terrence Malick’s Badlands (1973), before Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde (1967), there was Nicholas Ray’s They Live by Night (1948), a book-to-screen adaptation about young lovers on the run. After busting out of prison, Bowie (Farley Granger) hides out at a filling station owned by a dad with alcoholism and his daughter Keechie (Cathy O’Donnell) and starts knocking off banks with his fellow escapees. After a spending spree leaves Bowie injured and vulnerable to the law, Keechie falls for him, and the couple sets off an ill-fated journey, hopeful for a new life.
In Ray’s remarkable debut feature, classic noir elements blend effortlessly with melodrama to create something entirely new, making They Live by Night a... standout of the period, realized with lived-in dialogue beautifully adapted from Edward Anderson’s source material and shot primarily on location in greater Los Angeles. The film is notable too for its innovative camera techniques and tracking shots, especially in the driving sequences. This warm-up for Rebel Without a Cause (1955) finds Ray arriving on the scene fully formed with a confident and inimitable style. &nbsp;
A favorite of cartoonist Nathan Gelgud and critic A. S. Hamrah, the screening is followed by a conversation about Ray and his oft-overlooked influence on American filmmaking. In a separately ticketed event before the film, Gelgud and Hamrah sign copies of their newest books.
