Beautiful Greek muse Kira has journeyed from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California in a quest to inspire struggling chalk artist Sonny to create the most resplendent work of art the world has ever known… the roller disco!

ROUNDING THIRD runs Aug. 8-26

ROUNDING THIRD
Presented by Showboat Majestic
Aug. 8-26
Downtown 

Reviews: CityBeat |

ROUNDING THIRD introduces us to two coaches — one a veteran, the other a new recruit — and their markedly different personal circumstances and philosophies about the game. Their clash of styles and wills drives this funny, acerbic and touching play through the bumpy terrain of fatherhood and baseball.

Directed by Bob Brunner

Cast: Mike Sherman as Don & Michael Schlotterbeck as Michael

PUTT TO DEATH on July 21

PUTT TO DEATH
Presented by The Whodunit? Players
July 21
Kenwood 

A fast-paced, interactive murder mystery where audience members become suspects and have a chance to solve the crime. An uproarious combination of theater and comedy and a chance to use your deductive skills with hilarious results!

Sandy Dunes Daniels manages an upscale Country Club, but the game of golf is only part of what’s going on. It seems that everyone at the club has their own agenda, and some of their games can be a little hazardous. When somebody shoots a hole in one … of them, the secrets start to come out. Who had the best reason for murder? Was it the ambitious Assistant Manager? The disapproving, temperance-minded former Club President? The controlling, possessive Banker? The unappreciated Golf Pro? Don’t miss this opportunity to use your deductive skills to see if you can uncover the murderer.
