Making Way for A Moveable Feast

With the fall weather this October comes The Laguna Playhouse's 18th annual A Moveable Feast evening! On Monday, October 13th, 2008 The Playhouse will have patrons mixing and mingling over some of Laguna Beach's own world-class gastronomic delights. More than ten local establishments are participating and patrons can choose whichever they please.

Here's how it will work:


Act I: The evening begins at The Laguna Playhouse with a lively reception featuring champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and fabulous live and silent auctions on the stage of our intimate Moulton Theatre.


Act II: Guests proceed to their favorite local restaurant (pre-selected from ten or more participating fine dining establishments) for a fabulous entrée course.


Act III: Guests proceed to a second pre-selected restaurant (or they may choose to stay where they are and relax) for coffee and a sumptuous dessert.


Not only has this event attracted large numbers of participants in the past, but this unique form of dining keeps patrons returning for more. Join in on the fun and get a taste of Laguna Beach like never before!

Updates from the Playhouse!

The end of the month will mark the end of The Marvelous Wonderettes run at the Laguna Playhouse and it has been an incredible one at that! Having surpassed projected ticket sales, the Wonderettes have won the hearts of every audience member and will surely have left their legacy at the Playhouse by their last performance on Sunday August 31st. On behalf of the Playhouse family, we thank the cast and crew for a memorable summer musical!
Stay marvelous!

Wasting no time, the crew will begin assembling the set for our next play, Don't Talk to the Actors next week. Rehearsals for the play are already in full swing and we have no doubt this one will be a hit as well! To satiate your theatrical appetite, here are a few snapshots of the cast in rehearsals.

THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES ARE HERE!
Regular Run:July 13 – August 31
Performances:Tuesday – Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

Written and Directed by Roger Bean
Take four endearing characters, add nearly two dozen classic pop songs from the 50s and 60s, mix it with an engaging story, and you have a recipe for an unforgettable evening of musical theater! This cotton-candy colored, non-stop musical blast from the past transports audiences back in time to the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we meet The Wonderettes: Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy—four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts, with voices to match. As they talk and sing about their lives and loves, audiences are treated to the girls performing such songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” and many more. This must-take trip down memory lane!
