There wasn’t much this week for Monday through Wednesday so I postponed this posting until today. I may have a couple more last minute additions later this afternoon/evening (Thursday) particularly for Saturday and Sunday.

Continuing Through Saturday 07-14

Large Animal Games presented by Mildred’s Umbrella Theatre Company, Studio 101, 1824 Spring Street, Thu-Sat ticket prices (no show on Sat 06-30): $18 regular/$10 students & seniors, Mon ticket price: “pay as you like”, tickets available online (all tickets will call). As described on the company’s website: “This incisive, unexpected, and larger than life tale of sex, love, and self delusion tracks the overlapping escapades of a group of friends old enough to know better in love but still naive enough to mess things up anyway, and the man who supplies them with equal parts tough love, lingerie and self awareness. In a series of fluid scenes, Large Animal Games takes a comically skewed and razor-sharp look at modern relationships through a mix of bullfights, big game hunting and intimate apparel.” Written by Steve Yockey. 12-LAG
