Intro to the Main Street Theater


Tonight my dear friend Cathie took me to the Main Street Theatre to watch "... and L.A. is Burning". I thought it was funny that they pointed out in their opening announcements that "theater" was spelled "ER" in their case. I like a theater that comes with a spelling lesson.

The theater is very small. I would guess fifty seats. The stage is in the round and if you are seated in the outside aisle (as we were) you can easily have an entire scene acted out less than a foot away from you (which we did).

I didn't know what to expect when they described the play as dealing with the L.A. riots as a comedy but it was actually really good.

I look forward to future visits to our little hole in the wall theatre...I mean theater.
