La Lupa Italian Cultural Arts Festival Monday, May 10, 2010
Move over, San Gennaro. There's a new heritage fest in town, and it's out to prove that Italians aren't all meatball-eating guidos. La Lupa Italian Cultural Arts Festival combines both the contemporary and traditional arts into a boot-shaped cornucopia of culture, including dance performances; poetry readings; short-film screenings; the folk music of southern Italy by MUSICàNTICA; scenes from original one-act plays by Italian and Italian-American playwrights; excerpts from Franco D'Alessandro's play Roman Nights, about Tennessee Williams' relationship with actress Anna Magnani; a children's program with "Pinocchio" performed in verse; and Italian language lessons. Food, too; probably meatballs. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga; Sat.-Sun., May 15-16; $20, kids under 10 free. (323) 769-5808, lalupafest.com.
