7 SATURDAY & SUNDAY MINI BUS TRIP TORRANCE THEATRE COMPANY THE LONG WEEKEND Written by Norm Foster Directed by Perry Shields If you loved Maggie s Getting Married, you won t want to miss this show! There s a fine line between love and hate, but when Norm Foster is calling the shots, that line is packed with comedy! The Long Weekend is the story of two couples whose weekend retreat together turns into a disastrous, albeit hysterically funny, affair. Foster s quick-witted one-liners and recurring jokes that pop up throughout the story are staples of his plays, growing funnier each time, and this is no exception. The audience gets to be a fly on the wall as relationship issues play out on stage; friendly rivalry, professional jealousy, marital dissatisfactions, and outright animosity. Familiar becomes farcical twists and turns abound, and the laughter doesn t stop until the curtain comes down.

Time: 1:00pm-5:00pm Cost: $20.00 For reservations please call (310) MINI BUS TRIP AUTOMOBILE DRIVING MUSEUM THE MUSEUM THAT TAKES YOU FOR A RIDE Automobile Driving Museum (ADM) is one of Southern California s premier destinations for car enthusiasts!
