7 Days In Arts

Saturday

Make a play date today or tomorrow. The Celebrity Staged Play Reading Series performance of “Talley’s Folley” presents husband-and-wife team Alan Blumenfeld and Katherine James reprising their roles in last month’s Pasadena Playhouse production. Once again, they take on the characters of Matt and Talley in Lanford Wilson’s story about a courtship between two not-so-young lovers.

7:30 p.m. (Saturday). Valley Cities JCC, 13164 Burbank Blvd., Sherman Oaks. (818) 786-6310. 2 p.m. (Sunday). Westside JCC, 5870 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles. (323) 938-2531, ext. 2225. $10-$14.

Sunday

Jewish music covers Los Angeles today. City folk should consider “Scenes of Worship: A Musical Celebration of Passover” at the Autry Museum. Passover and Women’s History Month share the thematic course of this concert of women cantors, and one token male. Or, for those living out West, Temple Adat Elohim welcomes the Moscow Male Jewish Choir, aka Hasidic Cappella, to the Canyon Club. Their repertoire includes classical Jewish liturgy and humorous American folk. Take your pick this evening.

“Scenes of Worship”: 6:30 p.m. $8-$18. Autry National Center, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles. (323) 667-2000, ext. 354.
Hasidic Capella: 4 p.m. $18-$25. 28912 Roadside Drive, Agoura Hills. (818) 879-5016.

Monday

The girls of Ohr Haemet Institute prove that you don’t need a male lead to put on a show. Today, they present their for-women-by-women tsnius-approved production, “Chaverim,” which focuses on the theme of unity. With the help of their theater director, Elianah Mendlowitz, the girls have learned dance moves and songs for the musical. Women are invited to come and support this play about Jewish girls from around the world.

7:30 p.m. $10-$15. Emerson Middle School, 1650 Selby Ave., Los Angeles. (310) 854-3006.

Tuesday

The estrogen fest continues all week long. Today, and
every weekday morning this week, women need only turn on the tube for a dose of
wisdom about slowing down the aging process, from Dr. Judith Reichman. The
author of “Slow Down Your Clock: The Complete Guide to a Healthy, Younger You”
will appear in a segment about her book every day this week on NBC’s “Today
Show,” answering questions posted by women on msnbc.com. Post your own, or just
tune in. 7-10 a.m. NBC.
