Mosaic: Civic Memory

The popular series will kick off its fifth season with a program focusing on the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium’s history as host to an all-inclusive galaxy of world-class performers and a diverse array of popular community events. The episode will also look at past efforts to save the venerable hall, which is currently shuttered and facing potential demolition.
