Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

On Monday, following the taping of their rousing performance on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, cast members from the Broadway revival of Hair stopped by Here Lounge in West Hollywood for a "Be In" aimed at promoting marriage equality.

LAist Featured Photos pool contributor current events was there to grab some shots of the performers, and shared this short video clip of the talented bunch singing "Let the Sun Shine In." Also participating in the event were human rights activist Cleve Jones, former Liberty Hill Executive Director Torie Osborn, and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk). The "tribe" were on a whirlwind trip to LA from NY, chronicled in three Culture Monster blog posts by cast member Gavin Creel (Claude).
