WORLD PREMIERE! Thrust into a global journey filled with danger, betrayal, and injustice, Voltaire's Candide struggles to hold onto his optimistic belief in the essential goodness of humanity... if only humanity would stop killing his friends and stealing his sheep...
Friday, September 18: DONATE WHAT YOU CAN. It's "Pay What You Can" with a twist! Half of all proceeds for this performance will be donated to Alexandria House. Founded in 1996, Alexandria House is a non-profit transitional residence and house of hospitality providing safe and supportive housing for women and children in the process of moving from emergency shelter to permanent housing. Located in the densely populated and ethnically diverse Mid-Wilshire area, Alexandria House also serves its broader neighborhood community by providing educational and enrichment opportunities for residents and neighbors alike. Tickets that night may only be purchased at the door. Call (310) 281-8337 to make a reservation.
"What is outstanding on every level are the indefatigable, and impeccably hilarious performances by the entire cast... Jon Jory’s Candide is a very plain comedy which hits the intellectual mark." -Gia on the Move
