❤️ Michael Kearns. 1950 - 2026. ❤️

This is the red stool and red music stand that Michael uses in his performances here. We kept them safe for him at Highways.

Tonight, they remain on our stage.

In the spirit of performance and theatre spaces, where a single light is often left burning on a darkened stage, we will keep a light burning for Michael.

For the artist. For our friend. For all that he brought into this space, into our communities, and into our hearts. We love you, Michael. Always. xox ❤️

This Week !
OPERA, but cracked open—spilling time loops, crab mythologies, and psychic debris all over the stage. 🦀⏳🌀

Original Vision V: Menagerie arrives as part of Opera Fest LA—an incubator where emerging composers go big, strange, and unapologetically alive. Featuring new works + a special appearance by O-Lan Jones—a true wildcard force threading it all together.

Three operas-in-progress:�→ a downed pilot merging with a crab hivemind�→ a time machine built to end time itself�→ a life refracted through memory, lovers, and chorus

It’s opera-theater as experiment, collision, and fevered invention.

🚨 BOTH NIGHTS SOLD OUT 🚨�But—there will be a walk-up list each night. No guarantees, but if you’re feeling lucky…

📍 Highways Performance Space�📅 Fri + Sat, APRIL 24 + 25 at 8PM
Come hover at the edge of something not fully formed yet—where the risk is the point.

COMING SOON ✨
SAT, JUNE 6 — 8PM

👽💀⛪️
LEO GARCIA IS DEAD / THE CANONIZATION OF ST. LEO
The past meets the present. Through alien abduction, bodily collapse, and ritual transformation, Leo moves toward public canonization—culminating in sainthood by the L.A. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Autobiography, myth, and q***r spiritual satire converge to construct a legacy in real time.

THIS WEEK 💥🖤✨

what are you wearing… and why? 👀

“Terms of Agreement” by Adie San Diego isn’t just dance—it’s a live negotiation between who you are, who you protect, and who you let in. 🎭💭 masks on / masks off. soft / guarded. alone / together. all of it happening in real time.⏳⚡️

Adie, a Filipina-American choreographer coming out of CalArts, blends classical technique, street forms, and raw improvisation into something that feels immediate, human, and a little bit disarming in the best way. 🌀🫀🔥
