Highways Artistic Director Leo Garcia presents DANCEGOOD.DAMNIT’s Die Muthafuckah Die!!! (a eulogy), a night of performance for the perpetually brokenhearted. Jackie Onassis, mass suicide, and karaoke team up with Tina Turner and collected love letters in a failed attempt at acceptance of love's relentless persistence and the inescapable reality of constant death.

Highways Performance Space is Southern California's boldest center for new performance. Founded in 1989, Highways continues to be an important alternative cultural center in Los Angeles that encourages fierce new artists from diverse communities to develop and present innovative works. Highways promotes the development of contemporary socially involved artists and art forms. Our mission is implemented through four programs (the performance space, workshop/university program and two galleries). Annually, Highways co-presents approximately 250 performances by solo dramatic artists, small theater groups, dance companies and spoken word artists; curates and exhibits approximately 12 contemporary visual art exhibits per year with work that explores the boundaries between performing and visual art forms; commissions and premieres new work by outstanding performing artists; organize special events, curate festival, offer residency and educational programs that engage community members in the arts while providing access to professionally-directed instruction.
