Make Metro Part of Your Weekend
Every Wednesday we map out a guide to the best free things to do for the weekend taking L.A. Metro. For this Saturday, we recommend Open Stage at The Elysian Theater in Frogtown. Every month The Elysian offers an open invite for performers looking to workshop their ensemble (meaning three or more people) material to a live audience. The next Open Stage event is this Saturday, and even if you’re not a performer, you can attend for free to see what weird, inventive, and hilarious stuff locals have been working on. Plus, there’s free pizza before the show! Runs 2:30 to 5 p.m. Get more info and RSVP here.
