Tickets are $13 at the door with doors opening at 6pm. We'll update you on the other events as the days progress.

Last night, the 64th Emmy Awards were handed out. Winners include:

The Emmys are making room for a new drama star.  Showtime's "Homeland" was the big winner at Sunday night's Primetime Emmy Awards, upsetting four-time Emmy winner "Mad Men" in the category for Outstanding Drama Series.  "Homeland," which revolves around the personal lives and professional trials of a counterterrorism unit, is said to be among President Barack Obama's favorite shows.  Stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis also picked up individual awards in the lead drama acting categories.  Lewis broke Bryan Cranston's winning streak in the category for "Breaking Bad."  

ABC's "Modern Family" continued its win streak in the category for Outstanding Comedy Series, picking up its third consecutive Emmy.  The show's stars Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet also picked up Emmys for their supporting roles.  Julia Louis Dreyfus was named Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series for HBO's "Veep" and Jon Cryer won the actor equivalent award for CBS' "Two and a Half Men."  

The political drama "Game Change" won the category for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie and Julianne Moore picked up the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress for her portrayal of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the TV movie.  Other winners included Kevin Costner and Tom Berenger for the History Channel miniseries "Hatfields & McCoys"; Tom Bergeron who was named Outstanding Host for A Reality Competition for ABC's "Dancing With the Stars"; and CBS' "The Amazing Race," which was named Outstanding Reality Competition Program.  Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 64th Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
