Exploring Creative Santa Monica
April 3, 2008

It’s a great week for theatre in Santa Monica
with terrific shows playing all over town. Save
yourself a trip downtown and sample a few of these
terrific local productions. We’ve already mentioned the
splendid production of
Aida at
Santa Monica College, The Full Monty and
The 100 Dresses at the
Morgan-Wixson
Theatre.
Don't miss the play that all
the critics are raving about!
Fafalo is now playing at the Miles Playhouse.
It’s made the Critic’s Choice list at the LA Times and
City Beat while LA Weekly says the “stage crackles with
ingenuity and creativity.” But time is running out –
Fafalo closes next weekend so you’d better get
there soon before this treat disappears forever.

The lives and love affair of

performances of 15 of their signature songs. So
let’s see what the boys in the backroom will
have and tell them we’re having the same! |
