The recurring Classic Cinema Night series, hosted by film critic Jos\u00e9 Ignacio Cuenca, will screen beloved films every other Wednesday, including The Godfather on September 16, Casablanca on September 30, Taxi Driver on October 14 and Psycho on October 21.

General admission starts at $49, while general admission plus is $89, premier is $109 and VIP is $129. Standard admission offers first-come, first-served seating along the outer edges, while pricier options provide better views and more comfortable seating.<\/p>\n<p>Down the Rabbit Hole runs every other Saturday beginning at 8pm, now through October 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles has no shortage of places where you can drink cocktails while wondering\u00a0if you\u2019ve wandered into another&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[57786,48,52,51,47,50,49,57787,1058],"class_list":["post-462817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-categories-theater","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-news-theater-performance","tag-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
