• LA Theatre Works, Sunday, Nov. 16 at 10:00 pm, Henrik Ibsen's Masterpiece "A Doll House," Starring Calista Flockhart

  Nora Helmer has everything a young housewife could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, and a bright future. But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora’s well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble.

• Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show, Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 2:00 pm with guests Caryl Kristensen and Marilyn Kentz (The Mommies)

  Former Valley girls Caryl Kristensen and Marilyn Kentz are The Mommies. In their effervescent, two women show, "The Mommies: Their Last Trimester," Caryl and Marilyn reflect on their accidental road to fame and how easy it was to go down the Hollywood ladder. They bring to light the good, the bad, and the stupid, and how lost they were in the world of their NBC sitcom and ABC talk show. Now, 30 years later, the two former next-door neighbors are back on stage laughing about this new version of life as "Grand Mommies." They reveal their thoughts about aging in public, family, chin hairs, and anxiety over where to tap the credit card to finally hear the damn beep.

• What Are We Cheering For?

  Every holiday, every weekend, every so-called American ritual came with a side of football. The game would be on, and we were supposed to care. I didn’t. Not really. Not until I almost did. For a brief stretch, when my dad worked with the Clippers during the Lob City era, I started to believe. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan — it felt like swagger, like culture, like something to belong to. Then the trades came, the team got gutted, and the curtain dropped. It wasn’t family. It wasn’t culture. It was business. That moment stuck. The more I watched, the more the wires showed: how ritual gets packaged, sold, and weaponized. How meaning becomes merchandise. How attention becomes empire.
