This month the Victory Theatre in Burbank celebrates its 46th birthday. What better way to do so than with the first California reading of a brand new play, Four Women Talking About the Man Under the Sheet, a funny and timely historical comedy by Elaine Jarvik.

February 21, 1895, the morning after the unexpected death of Fredrick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony arrives, unannounced, at the home of his widow. Soon after, Douglas's daughter from his first marriage arrives...

Who's under the sheet? Why are the women talking about him? What are they saying?

Yes, it's a comedy and I guarantee you will be entertained.

SAVE THE DATE: April 29th

SAVE THE TIME: 7:00 PM

There will be a talk-back with the cast and director, after the reading. We look forward to your questions, feedback, etc.

GOACTING STUDIO

Working closely with her students, Maria Gobetti teaches the Meisner basics technique on an individual basis – while also employing available video facilities. Her classes are small – allowing only the best and most dedicated actors. This exclusivity is advantageous in that it gives all the actors an opportunity to work in every class.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we are living and working on the unceded territory of the Tongva and the Kizh people who are the original stewards of this land. We understand that achieving healing and reconciliation will require a long and sustainable commitment; this land acknowledgment is only a first step, but we hope it will help to raise awareness about histories that are often suppressed or forgotten, though very present all around us. We encourage you to look up what land you work on and live on and continue to learn about the indigenous people who made their homes in and around the area we now call Los Angeles.

We're Celebrating 46 Years of The Victory Theater!

The Victory Center Theatre is a small theatre, but what’s experienced here is large. Small space cultivates closeness; shared experience creates connection and community. Since 1980, the Victory Theatre has presented over 100 productions and 100 workshops, 80% of which have been NEW plays.
