SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Santa Monica’s historic Miles Memorial Playhouse will host the 11th annual Fireside at the Miles, an intimate performance series featuring a mix of world-class music, dance and comedy. The series will kick off at 8 p.m. on Friday, January 10 with the series ending until Saturday, February 22.
The Playhouse, built in 1929, contains a large period fireplace in the main auditorium. In the 1930’s and 40’s the fireplace was used as a centerpiece for community events and it is in this spirit of gathering that the Fireside Series was started in 2010.
