Spotlight: September Weekend at the Theatricum

September Weekend at the TheatricumSpend any weekend in September at The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum and see all four plays in three days for only $60.00. Unlike most theaters in the Los Angeles area that stage continuous runs of a single play, the Theatricum, using a company of actors, performs four plays each season on a rotating basis.

September is the month when all four productions are up and running. This year’s repertory season includes both a tragedy and a comedy by William Shakespeare (Antony and Cleopatra and Twelfth Night), a classic by George Bernard Shaw (You Never Can Tell), and the West Coast premiere of satire Omnium Gatherum by Theresa Rebeck & Alexandra Gersten-Vassilaros.

Win tickets to Antony and Cleopatra for Sunday, September 3rd!
