The joy of the artistic experience will be celebrated on Saturday, April 2 with a "Tasting of the Arts," a fundraising event for the Friends of the Redondo Beach Arts.

Held from 5:30-10 p.m. at the Woman's Club of Redondo Beach, the evening will feature a diverse mix of arts, including Theatrum Elysium, the South Bay Stories Show, culinary art, a mosaic workshop, film, music, dance, poetry, ceramics, a fiber art workshop, installation art, handmade art books, a fine art auction, door prizes, and food and wine. 

Theatrum Elysium, based in historic downtown San Pedro, brings a taste of "Cymbeline," one of William Shakespeare's lesser-known plays to the event. The TE San Pedro Rep, as the group calls itself, will stage the production in full April 23-May 15 on the U.S.S. IOWA, the first time the historic battleship has hosted a live theatrical production.

The South Bay Stories Show showcases "real people" telling "their real stories," according to Jim Mueller, presenter and producer of the 
storytelling group's last show in October in Hermosa BeachThat event, held in the Hermosa Beach Community Center, was directed by well-known South Bay director Tony Torrisi with D&M Screenplay also producing.
