TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR: “American Night: The Ballad of Juan José” March 9 – April 1 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre “American Night” tells the story of Juan José, a resident alien on the night before his U.S. citizenship test. As Juan crams for his exam he finds himself transported through history into some of the chapters left out of the history books. Filtered through Culture Clashes unique satirical sensibility, the American Dream morphs into an exhaustion-fueled flight of fantasy through the darker nooks and crannies of Juan José’s chosen homeland. AND “American Idiot” March 13- April 22 at the Ahmanson Theatre The explosive hit musical “American Idiot,” which was nominated for three Tony Awards® during its Broadway run, tells the story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post 9-11 world. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times said “American Idiot” “. . . jolts you right back to the dizzying roller coaster of young adulthood, that turbulent time when ecstasy and misery seem interchangeable states, flip sides of the coin of exultation.” The musical features the hits “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “21 Guns,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday” and the blockbuster title track, “American Idiot” from Green Day’s 2004 Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum album, “American Idiot” plus other Green Day songs. AND “Waiting for Godot” March 14 – April 22 at the Mark Taper Forum “Waiting for Godot” follows two days in the lives of a pair of characters, Vladimir (played by McGovern) and Estragon (Mandell), whose apparent purpose in life is to wait by the side of the road for someone named Godot to arrive. This simple act, at once seemingly futile and hopeful, asks basic questions of human existence, why we are here and what is our ultimate destiny. Tickets are available by calling Center Theatre Group Audience Services at (213) 972-4400, in person at the CTG box office or on-line at www.CenterTheatreGroup.org.
