Kentwood Players presents “Steel Magnolias”

Westchester Playhouse 8301 Hindry Avenue, Los Angeles

FINAL WEEKEND - Performances on Friday, April 5 at 8 pm, Saturday, April 6 matinee at 2 pm, then closing Saturday, April 6 at 8 pm! "Steel Magnolias" follows the trials and tribulations of six sassy and formidable women in 1980's Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana. Truvy’s Beauty Salon is where all the ladies who are anybody in town meet every Saturday to have their hair done and exchange news and gossip. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to Ouiser, the town’s rich curmudgeon; Miss Clairee, an eccentric millionaire with a raging sweet tooth; and M’Lynn, the local social leader whose daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town, is about to get married. Filled with hilarious repartee and humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play takes a dark turn when the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) goes against the advice of her mother and doctor and risks her life to have a baby. The play draws the women together to deal with life, love and loss, drawing on their underlying strength and devotion to each other in good times and bad.

Kentwood Players presents “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”

Westchester Playhouse 8301 Hindry Avenue, Los Angeles

A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER is the Tony Award-winning knock-'em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season. When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind… It’s a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs, and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways.
