Downbeat 720

"Downbeat 720 — the BEST performance lab for teens. I love the positive support they get and the professionalism they learn."
Ipolani Lott, Mother

Downbeat 720 is LA's premier open-mic for high school performers.  Sponsored by the City of Santa Monica, high school students from all over the city arrive at the historic Miles Memorial Playhouse in Reed Park near downtown Santa Monica. They sign up to perform their poetry, songs, acting, comedy, dance, etc.  They walk on to the stage with their journal, their guitar or sometimes just their nerves and they perform.  They receive positive, honest feedback from professional working artists.  The event is always FREE and adults are allowed but we encourage them to bring a high school student to either watch or participate. Downbeat 720 is located at the historic Miles Memorial Playhouse in Reed Park, 1130 Lincoln Blvd, Santa Monica CA 90403. The program startsat 7:20pm. We run every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
