Welcome to Culture OC’s inaugural fall arts preview!

We’re excited to bring you the best in visual arts, culture, classical music, theater, food and drinks, and dance.

Culture OC’s talented team of arts writers has scanned the schedules, communicated with the presenting organizations and culled the calendars to bring you the best of fall 2023 — and, in some cases, a peek at what’s coming up in 2024. While some groups are relying on the tried and true, others are pushing the envelope and hoping to attract audiences seeking adventure and perhaps something a little different.

Here’s a look at what’s coming up in the Orange County arts and culture scene. (Click on the topics below to see the details.) And if we missed something important, please let us know.
