Hershey Felder salutes Irving Berlin, plus 13 other must-sees on Mother’s Day weekend

Live from Florence, Italy, it’s “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin.”

Actor and pianist Felder’s in-character salute to Berlin — the great American songwriter responsible for “White Christmas” and “God Bless America” — was an L.A. Times Critics’ Choice in its inaugural run at the Geffen Playhouse in 2014 and later enjoyed successful productions in Westwood, Pasadena, Laguna Beach and La Jolla.

Felder marks Mother’s Day with a livestream performance presented by the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. It kicks off at 5 p.m. Sunday and will be available for 72 hours. Tickets are $50 per household and can be purchased at thewallis.org/Berlin or by calling (310) 746-4000.
