Mamma Mia! lands at the Ahmanson as a part of the 25th Anniversary tour, celebrating years of ABBA’s music and generations of fans. We spoke with a DJ and a Musician who celebrate ABBA in their work about the Swedish band’s resonance with themselves and fans.
ABBA Night Co-Founder and Co-DJ
ABBA has been Jordy Scheinberg’s favorite band for as long as she can remember. But when she sought out dancefloors to dance to her favorite band’s music, she could never find quite the right vibe. Scheinberg would go to Monty Bar in DTLA and take over their jukebox with all ABBA hits. But once they got rid of the jukebox, Scheinberg needed a new spot. So she joined forces with her childhood friend and DJ, Shelby Jacobson, to launch ABBA Night. ABBA Night is a party that mixes ABBA music with disco hits at different venues, like Zebulon in Frogtown. “There is such a palpable shift when ABBA comes on,” Scheinberg said. “Everyone loves ABBA.” Scheinberg is a millennial, but says that ABBA Night has been a fun night for all generations. “Older men come up to us and say ‘I can’t believe you know these songs...I haven’t heard these songs in a club in 40 years’...and now... there have been a lot of 21st birthdays at ABBA night.” But no matter the venue, ABBA Night brings Scheinberg and Jacobson back to the joy of their childhoods, blasting ABBA’s Greatest Hits on cassette in Jacobson’s mom’s car.

Odds are, you’re sitting in this theatre because you are a supporter of the arts. To take it a step further, you might even be a lover of the arts. And this might be a bold assumption, but maybe you’re even an artist yourself. Regardless of where you fall on the scale, you’re likely aware of how daunting it is to take on a career in the arts. It’s rare to find free, informative, empowering resources on where to begin.
Luckily, multiple times a year, CTG’s Education & Community Partnerships team gathers its network of local arts leaders to offer an afternoon of workshops, panels, and networking opportunities to aspiring arts professionals. Each event is geared toward a different stage in an attendee’s professional journey. Whether you're a high school student just beginning to explore higher education and career options, a college student preparing to transition to the professional world, or are early in your career looking for resources and support, you can take advantage of these resources.
On May 16th, 2026, early career and emerging professionals gathered at the Going Pro Career Fair. At 9AM, the impressive number of attendees formed a line that stretched all the way around the block. Once inside, attendees had access to a resource fair, free headshot photography, and networking opportunities over burgers for lunch. Plus, three presentations: Navigating the First Three Years After College, Financial Empowerment, and Demystifying the Individual Grant Process for Artists, two of which were so well-attended that they had standing room only! The theme of the day was Financial Empowerment, a topic each of the presentations addressed. The Music Center Annex was abuzz with attendees eager to absorb information about where to begin in their field. Let’s see what they had to say!
These quotes are edited for clarity.

“Until coming here today, I always thought that I was crazy for pursuing this type of career. That’s what everyone tells me. Now, after coming here, I see that there are others out there who share the same goals. I liked the financial workshop because I feel like that’s something often overlooked. A lot of actors just focus on the acting. They don’t stop to think about, ‘How am I going to support myself?’”
—Brian (Actor)

“I’ve survived my first year outside of college and it’s the first time in my life that school hasn’t given me structure, [so] this was super helpful to me. I found the panel of people who were talking about your first three years after graduation very reassuring. I was like, ‘Okay, everybody else is figuring this out and maybe ending up in unexpected places.’ “
—Abby
(Artist, Recent Graduate)
“I really liked the second workshop about financial empowerment. [The speaker] is so good, so empowering, so funny. It was real with all the logistics and realities of the artist, so [it was] helpful. I also really relate to her personal story. I’m kind of like, ‘Oh! I have hope!’”
— Nelly (Actor & Writer)

“My favorite part of the day was the grant section. It was incredibly insightful to have some sort of structure to be able to navigate [applying for grants]. It’s really nice to know you’re not alone and are able to look forward with optimism.”
—Justin (Actor/Filmmaker, Recent Graduate)

“I really liked getting to talk with all the other participants [at] this fair. During lunch time, I got to learn a lot about how other people do their art and just connect with a bunch of other people.”
— Sentin (Actor, Student)
“I came here really nervous about the future. [This fair] gave me information that made me feel like this isn’t the end, this is the beginning of the rest of my life and there are a lot of resources and places that I belong in.”
—Meleena (Actor/Designer, Recent Graduate)

These testimonies are not just proof that Going Pro 2026 was a success, but that free, accessible resources are more necessary than ever for a career in the arts. And whether you’re an arts supporter, lover, or creator, everyone benefits from empowering the next generation.
As a not-for-profit theatre, we rely on the generosity of our patrons to make our career fairs happen. You can make a direct impact and help the future of educational programming by making a gift today at ctgla.org/support or by scanning the QR code.

Laura Bradley started off in metal music. Her mother was always an ABBA fan, but it wasn’t until Bradley's partner and guitarist from her band, Symphonic Metal, invited her to a metal ABBA cover show in Big Bear that she caught the ABBA bug. While a metal ABBA cover band was a hard sell—a regular ABBA cover band was not—and so, the ABBA LA tribute band was born. The group has toured venues throughout the Southwest since 2019. Bradley says their shows are truly intergenerational—with fans ranging from toddlers to folks in their 90s. “It is a multigenerational phenomenon, unlike any other band,”

Bradley said. As a musician, she finds herself drawn to their ahead-of-their-time production and techniques— like multi-layered vocals and analog synths—that make the 70s band the mothers of modern pop production. While she loves performing “When I Kissed the Teacher,” “The Winner Takes it All,” and “Super Trouper,” there is no song like “Dancing Queen.” “Everyone gets on their feet and sings, and it’s always our last song, because you can’t come back after that,” Bradley said. “You have delighted anywhere from 200 to 9000 people and they’re on such a music high that has brought them either memories or absolute joy or healing.”

As a steward of The Music Center of Los Angeles County, we recognize that we occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared for by the Tongva, Tataviam, Serrano, Kizh and Chumash Peoples. We honor and pay respect to their elders and descendants — past, present and emerging — as they continue their stewardship of these lands and waters. We acknowledge that settler colonization resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide and multigenerational trauma. This acknowledgment demonstrates our responsibility and commitment to truth, healing and reconciliation and to elevating the stories, culture and community of the original inhabitants of Los Angeles County.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these ancestral lands. We are dedicated to growing and sustaining relationships with Native peoples and local tribal governments, including (in no particular order) the:
• Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians
• Gabrielino Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council
• Gabrieleno/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians
• Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation
• San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
• San Fernando Band of Mission Indians
