Your invitation to the Royal Court has arrived. Enter to win tickets to see L.A. duo Haute & Freddy bring the Big Disgrace Tour to the Hollywood Theatre on 9/9, with theatrical ’80s-inspired synth-pop, elaborate costumes, and a live show that refuses to behave itself.*

  • Cat lovers, this is fur you! Watch the internet’s funniest felines on the big screen at CatVideoFest at Rio Theatre on 8/22 & support VOKRA’s cat rescue efforts.

  • Ready to get Back to Black? Catch Krystle Dos Santos channeling Amy Winehouse at the Rickshaw Theatre on 10/17 & enter to win a pair of tickets!
