Saturday, May 3, 7:30 p.m. - The Band's Visit (Israel)
Bikur Ha-Tizmoret. When an Egyptian police brass band travels to Israel to play at the opening of an Arab arts center, they wind up abandoned and lost in a remote desert town in this charming cross-cultural comedy. Defying expectations, the tiny Israeli community embraces the musicians, and both the Egyptians and the locals learn a few things about one another -- and themselves -- in this witty winner of the Cannes Film Festival. In many languages and also in English.

Playwright Michael Reyes used his experiences as a young Iraq war veteran, and New York, inner city youth to create this work. Act one takes place “Over There” in Iraq where we meet Marcus, a young man who enlisted in the military to avenge his country for 911 and escape the life of crime he might have fallen into had he stayed home. Act two takes place “Over Here”, once Marcus has returned home where he must come to terms with the sacrifice he made for his country and the opinions of those around him. This play has only been performed at New York’s Cabrillo Theatre which enjoyed an extended run in 2006. This will mark the West Coast Premiere of what the New York Times called “an impressive, poignant, new work.” $25 – Adults; $20 – Seniors, 65+; $5 – Youth, 18 and under Due to subject matter and occasional profanity in the play, parental discretion is advised.

Thursday, Aug. 7, at 7 p.m. and 8 & 9 | 14, 15 & 16 at 7PM - Urinetown the Musical - The Relevant Stage - $35/$30 (Youth $5)
This irreverent story posits a planet where all water, even urine is a valued commodity that must be regulated. Public toilets run by government contractors insure that no one can "pee for free", lest they risk getting caught by the police and sent to a mysterious place called Urinetown. Feeling oppressed, Bobby stirs a revolution against the status quo in a comedy full of rousing tunes, sensational parody, exuberant dance and unexpected twists!
