King O'Leary: Opening Weekend!

Our third annual children's shakespeare show has arrived! King O'Leary, a hilarious adaptation of the Bard's tragedy, King Lear, just opened this last weekened. All shows are completely free and are performed in the park right next to our theatre in Culver City.

I won't give too much away, except to say that the story is now set in the old wild west gold mining community of Boomtown. The characters and plot stay true to the classic play while putting a comedic twist on the story. The kids loved it, and the adults laughed their heads off, too. Check it out! ... and watch out for the buffalo.

Finally, we'd like to extend a special thanks to the James Irvine Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, Sony Pictures, The Culver City Redevelopment Agency, and The City of LA Department of Cultural Affairs for making this free program possible.

King O'Leary

As we make the final preparations for the opening of our free park offering this year, I thought I would share a video compilation of last year's piece, "Titus the Clownicus." Enjoy!

If you want to see this year's play, "King O'Leary," it will be running every Saturday and Sunday at 11am starting this Saturday, August 9, in Media Park and closing August 31. Bring the whole family and share in the fun!
