After a two year dormancy, the Advent Theatre is celebrating its 30th Anniversary Season with the West Coast Premiere of Laurence Carr's "Vaudeville: A Play-with-Music" that takes us back to the heyday of America's theatrical variety entertainment era -- just before it would be replaced by the "talking pictures." Set in 1919 Philadelphia, in Kit Turner's theatrical boarding house, where comedy teams, specialty acts and song and dance men share a parlor between shows while dreaming of hitting the "big time", leaving "the circuit" and "going legit". They're a cross-section of the last generation of hoofers, comics and novelty acts who kept America entertained while Vaudeville was king.
Advent Theatre is located at 4390 Colfax Ave. Studio City, CA, 91604 (818) 753-3353
