Orange Flower Water
6th @ Penn Theatre (Hillcrest)

This intense and intimate drama directed by Jerry Pilato (VISITING MR. GREEN, GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS) is "not about amoral sexual perversity in the LaBute or Mamet mold. It's a view of marriage as a vise grip in which the best one can hope for is some velvet handcuffs. It's also a brutally honest drama about marriage and infidelity and watching is raw and painfully graphic. ORANGE FLOWER WATER contains adult situations and some nudity. Do not be deceived by the lyrical, gently perfumed title of the play." (Chicago Tribune)
Friday 8:00pm - $13.50 Available Now

The Rabbit Hole
PowPAC, Poway's Community Theatre
at Lively Center (Poway)

Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. RABBIT HOLE charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.
Friday 8:00pm - $10.00 Available Now

tick, tick...BOOM!
Stone Soup Theatre Company
at Lab at Academy of Performing Arts (Mission Valley)

Before the revolutionary rock musical RENT, Jonathan Larson had another story to tell...his own. This is the critically-acclaimed autobiographical pop rock musical by this Pulitzer prize-winning composer. After his sudden death in 1996, Larson's one-man musical tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 and worried about falling into oblivion was re-shaped by Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright David Auburn into its current award-winning form. Time Magazine exclaims that "tick, tick...BOOM!" is "better than "The Producers"" and the Associated Press hails "This is musical theatre writing at its most inventive."
Friday 8:00pm - $16.50 Available Now


Friday's Full-price Tickets

Let the Eagle Fly
Southwestern College School of Arts and Communication
at Mayan Hall Theatre (Chula Vista)

The story of Chavez and his United Farm Workers' (UFW) struggle to win economic justice and improved conditions for the poorest and most exploited workers in America is one of the great David vs. Goliath battles in this country's history. The musical tracing the arc of Chavez' entire life demonstrates the roots of his determination, courage and self-sacrifice. The show focuses primarily on the grueling five-year grape strike and international boycott that culminated in 1970, when most California table grape growers signed their first-ever union contracts. Those dramatic events transformed this humble man, whom Sen. Robert F. Kennedy called "one of the heroic figures of our time," into an internationally admired labor and civil rights leader. In association with Teatro Mascara Magica.

Miss Julie
Sledgehammer Theatre
at Tenth Avenue Theatre (Downtown)

Adapted and directed by LA theatre wunderkind Josh Chambers, Miss Julie uses August Strindberg's original text as "found shards" of narrative in which to reshape and deface the story of the sexual and social clash between two servants and their mistress on Midsummer's Eve. Set in Southern California in 2008, Miss Julie aims to distort time and space and to meld character and location in order to create an episodic, collage-driven theatrical spectacle.
