Pay-what-you-can for The Boor & The Bald Soprano

What's better than a pay-what-you-can performance? A pay-what-you-can double feature - Chekhov's The Boor and Ionesco's The Bald Soprano!

Only two more performances left of Internationally acclaimed Santa Monica Playhouse Actors' Repertory Theatre's double-bill: THE BOOR, Anton Chekhov's hilarious farce about libertine men and liberated women and THE BALD SOPRANO, Eugene Ionesco's bizarrely humorous comedy of mishaps and manners, of which renowned playwright Ionesco himself said, "Magnificent! Your fidelity to my original intent is incredible!"

"Well worth coming to see, don't miss this marvelous production"
- American Press Service

Pay-what-you-can performances: 8pm Friday, May 21 & Friday, May 28

PU!

That clearly stands for Playwright's Union.

The Playwrights Union, a network of Los Angeles theater artists writing for stage, tv and film, hosts its first Reading Festival of New Work May 6th through May 9th at the Victory Theatre Center in Burbank. Original plays were first drafted during a month-long writing challenge that nine member writers accepted in February. Plays have been finished or re-written in the weeks leading up to the Festival. Readings start at 6:30 pm, and a casual reception will take place on each evening at 8 pm, giving playwrights and audience members an opportunity to mix and mingle. Admission is free.

Please go support these fabulous playwrights - I have first hand experience with several of them and can vouch for their awesome-ness.
