Join us for a theater matinee in The Wanda Coleman Theater for Chinatown Revisited, an afternoon that turns back the hands of time through classic film and song. Experience a lively scene reading from His Girl Friday performed by Amy Marcs and Jeff, followed by Frank Strasser and Ginger O’Toole presenting memorable moments from Chinatown. Judd Angel, Sue Gisser, and Sandra Cruze will bring The Big Sleep to life on stage, while Suzy Williams and Tuba Heatherton perform the playful duet “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better. Brad Kay will share his witty parody When I Was a Lad from Hollywood Pinafore, and Suzy Williams will also perform her original song Hollow Hollywood. Curated and hosted by Eric Vollmer.
An artists’ reception with refreshments will follow the performance.
Doors Open: 1:30 PM I Readings: 2:00 PM
