University by the Sea transformed downtown Long Beach into a 'university' for a day combining intellectual stimulation, arts, film, food, drink, and music, Sunday Oct. 5.
"It was a great event that brought the whole community together. It really shed light on a lot of Long Beach musicians that don't get enough recognition," Caitlin Carter, Long Beach resident and former LBCC student said.
If you're a fan of comedy and basketball, the LAC Gym on Friday, Oct. 24 is a place you may want to be, as former Viking basketball player, Vic Camp, will host a night of stand up comedy to raise funds for the men's basketball team.
"You can expect to see the best entertainment and comedy show I can possibly put on," said Camp.
Beth Henley's play "Crimes of The Heart" directed by Lauren Thompson, opened at the LAC theatre main stage on Thursday, Sep 25.
Set in 1974, the play tells the heartfelt story of three adult sisters who came together at their grandfather's home after one of them commits a terrible crime.
"I'm feelin' it tonight," exclaimed LBCC student Alex Hernandez during a recording session on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at Section 8 Studio as he came out of the booth, where he laid down vocals over a producer Madlib's beat for a future mixtape.
The session was a typical night for Hernandez filled with pulsating beats and rhymes and venting his day's frustrations lyrically.
