WEST COAST PREMIERE!
BETTER
ANGELS
by Wayne Peter Liebman
Commemorating the
200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, BETTER ANGELS is a true story of our
16th president that's never been told. During a crucial point in our
nation's history, President Lincoln is visited by a gracious,
courageous woman who asks him for help. It's more than a meeting of the
minds -- it's a captivating connection, full of promise, that surprises
them both. Based on historic records and found text, BETTER ANGELS captures a fascinating
but forgotten incident that reveals the humanity of one of our greatest
leaders -- with a glimpse into his soul.
"The mystic chords
of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living
heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the
chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the
better angels of our nature."
-- Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861

JACQUES
BREL IS ALIVE
AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARIS
Conception, lyrics, & additional material by
Eric Blau
& Mort Shuman
Based on lyrics & commentary by Jacques Brel
Music by Jacques Brel
In 2006, this forgotten treasure of musical theatre was rediscovered in
New York, and now it returns triumphantly to Los Angeles where it
hasn't been seen in years. The genius of Jacques Brel is beautifully
captured in this brilliant collection of timeless songs -- songs of
passionate desire and heartbreak, of youthful exuberance and
world-weariness, of joyful hope and forgotten dreams. As fresh and
poignant as ever, Jacques
Brel reflects the full scope of what it means
to be alive, where every song is a story.
"Brel's spirit
lives on in this
energetic revival, which rivals most of what you'll hear on a Broadway
stage."
-- Entertainment Weekly

JAY
JOHNSON: THE TWO
& ONLY!
2007 Tony Award Winner for Best Special Theatrical Event!
Best known for his role on TV's Soap,
Jay Johnson reveals the full
scope of his talent in his acclaimed solo show, where he breathes life
into every object he touches. Jay's personal journey intertwines the
dark history of ventriloquism with the story of a shy boy in Texas who
finds his passion -- and a series of classic routines that leave the
audience howling with laughter. It's more than just a stand-up act --
it's an evening of
heartwarming hilarity for the whole family. (Parental notice: A couple
of puppets are given to slightly salty language.)
"One of the
funniest shows of
the year, but it is rich in much more than laughter."
-- NY Times
10 SHOWS ONLY! December 3-13, 2009

What
if I need to change
my date?
As always, you may exchange
your tickets as many times as you need to, as long
as you
call us by 1/2 hour before your scheduled performance. You may request
a change by phone, email or FAX. Changing your
date, however, will not guarantee the same seat assignment. We will
reassign
you the best seats available at the time of exchange. Exchanged tickets
will be picked up at Will Call.
If
I change my date, will
I need to mail back my original tickets?
No - Just throw them away.
How
will I
know where
I'm sitting?
When you send in your
subscription,
the best available seats will be assigned to you. Those will be your
seats
for every show in the season, as long as you attend on the dates you
are
assigned.
What
if we lose
our tickets?
Lost tickets are replaced
free of charge and will be held for pick-up at Will Call
What
if I want
to bring
guests?
If you know you will be
bringing
guests to most shows, you should purchase extra subscriptions (much
less
expensive than guest tickets), so you will always have the best
available
seats for you and your guests. If you don't use the tickets, they can
be
donated back to the theatre. Otherwise, you may order guest tickets at
any time (at a discount off of single ticket prices) and you may either
sit with them by giving up your season seats and letting us assign you
the next best seats available, or you may keep your season seats and we
will assign your guests the next best available seats for the same
performance.
What
if I miss my
date?
If you miss a show, you may
go to the box office one half-hour before another performance of the
same
play and exchange your unused ticket for any available seat.
If
I change my
date, do
I lose my seats?
Yes. If you change your
confirmed
date, we will assign you the next best available seats for your new
confirmed
date.
How
do I
make sure
I get seats next to my subscriber friends on the same date?
You'll need to send in your
subscriptions together in order to be guaranteed season seats together.
Since all seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, there
will be no way to put you together if we receive the subscriptions at
different
times.
What
If I
require handicapped
seats?
If you are unable to climb
stairs, you need to tell us that on your form and we will assign you
ground
level seats.
What if I want
to cancel my subscription?
Just let us know and we will cheerfully refund
the balance of
your subscription, no questions asked.
