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.

What's the best way to get your attention for a fundraiser? Probably drop some trou.

Antaeus Company posted this funny video, "Naked Actors Need Costumes," showing L.A.'s classical theater troupe in the buff asking for fundraising help in getting money for, well... costumes. Members of the group have their bits and parts blurred out with censor bubbles, but co-artistic director Rob Nagle joked that they might need to remove the pixels next year to get more attention, according to the Los Angeles Times.

There's also a cameo from Armin Shimerman, a member of the company and known for his role as Principal Snyder from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
