What really happened on the boat? Join us as we celebrate the opening of Beach=Culture at the Annenberg Community Beach House with a reading of Glenn Paxton and Robert White’s delightful musical WR and Daisy. Go back in time to explore the world of mogul William Randolph Hearst and his companion Marion Davies, known as “Daisy,” (at Daisy’s Beach House!) to solve the mystery of a fateful night onboard the yacht Oneida.

Directed by Leslie Paxton, featuring Music Director/Pianist Vicki Kirsch, singers Suzan Hanson, Peter Van Norden, Robert Prior,  Kristin Peterson Wat and narrator Phil Persons.


Stop by early for Beach House tours by docents from the Santa Monica Conservancy before every evening event, first come, first served.
