If you love unique ideas and want to explore SoCal, we’ve got your guide — some mainstream, some off the beaten path, all amazing.

It's a list curated by SoCal Scene contributor Christy Lemire, a film critic with KPCC’s Filmweek, RogerEbert.com, and the Breakfast All Day podcast.

Missing live music at the Hollywood Bowl? Now you can recreate that joyous sensation from the safety of your home with the SOUND/STAGE series.

The L.A. Philharmonic has teamed up with an amazing array of artists to bring you filmed concerts over the next several weeks.

Musicians maintained social distancing, played behind plexiglass, and wore masks when they could.

The SOUND/STAGE collection is available for streaming online now through November 20 at laphil.com/soundstage.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to get outside and enjoy these autumn evenings, head to the Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks for their drive-in nights.

Just in time for Halloween, they'll be showing a series of creepy double-features, such as Edward Scissorhands and Pet Sematary. The mall's food court will be offering concessions, which guests can take to their car.

Tickets are available online for the screenings taking place October 16-24.
