A free outdoor concert is one of the most pleasant ways to spend a summer afternoon. The Skirball kicks off its sixth season of these enjoyable performances today with the Open Door Orchestra. The experimental ensemble features a revolving set of players from around the world who blend ancient instruments and modern sounds for a unique musical journey. No reservations are necessary for Cafe Z concerts and all are welcome to stay for the companion Cinema Z film series immediately following the performances.

Start with a romantic comedy by Shakespeare; add an all-female multicultural cast; throw in a Wild West theme, complete with trigger-happy gunslingers, love-struck cowboys and a live bluegrass band and what do you get? “As You Like It,” a play co-presented by the Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Company and Rosalind Productions. Lisa Wolpe not only directs this gender-bending performance, she also stars in it.
Thu.-Sun., through June 3. $15 (students and seniors), $20 (groups), $25 (general). Matrix Theatre, 7657 Melrose Ave., Hollywood. (800) 595-4849. ” target=”_blank”>http://www.hopeartists.org.
