JEWTOPIA

LIVE

by Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson

JEWTOPIA tells the story of two 30 year old single men,

Chris O’Connell and Adam Lipschitz.

Chris, a gentile, wants to marry a Jewish girl

so he’ll never have to make another decision.

Adam Lipschitz, a Jew, wants to marry a Jewish girl

to please his family,

but can’t get a date to save his life.

After meeting at a Jewish singles mixer,

Adam and Chris form a secret pact.

Chris promises that he will help Adam

find the Jewish girl of his dreams and show him “Jewtopia”,

but only if Adam will help Chris shed his gentile-ness

and bring him undercover into the Jewish world.

Stereotypes collide, cultures clash and chaos ensues!

SYLVIA
by A. R. Gurney

January 13 - 29

Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan
after twenty-two years of child-raising in the suburbs.
Greg's career as a financial trader is winding down,
while Kate's career, as a public-school English teacher,
is beginning to offer her more opportunities.
Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—
bearing only the name "Sylvia" on her name tag.
A street-smart mixture of Lab and Poodle,
Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention
between husband and wife in this heart-warming romantic comedy.
LVLT has partnered with
the Heaven Can Wait Animal Shelter
and will donate a portion of the ticket sales
from the Sat Feb 21st 2pm show to Heaven Can Wait.
Present your ticket stub from Sylvia
to the NSCPA to save 10% on the adoption of a pet.

Las Vegas, NV

You asked for it,

so we're bringing EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL back for a limited 4 weekend run.

That's 8 performances for you to get your "groovy" on!

The show is returning with all the camp, all the excitement, all the energy you want,

and with an expanded splatter zone!

For those who don't know,

this hilarious live stage show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films,

Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness then combines them

to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time.

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods,

and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons.

It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon killing hero),

and his trusty chainsaw to save the day.

Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered.

Demons are telling bad jokes...and all to music.

You don't need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show.

You don't need to be a fan of horror to love this show.

You don't even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show.

As long as you like having fun... this show is for you

Ticket Prices:
$30 for the VIP SPLATTER ZONE (includes t-shirt!)
$20 for general admission
$15 for Las Vegas locals

The SANTALAND DIARIES

written by David Sedaris

adapted by Joe Mantello

December 1 - 11

Onyx Theatre

Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello

and directed by City Life Magazine’s “Best of the Valley”

Best Local Theater Director Christopher Kenney

“The Santaland Diaries” is David Sedaris’ send-up of his brief,

misguided career as a Macy’s elf.

The show skewers our sentimental love of all things Christmas –

the happy children, the spritely elves, the gifts, the good cheer.
Sedaris’ character, Crumpet the Elf,

shows us the other side of what it’s like to work at Santaland,

and the result is bawdy and irreverent.

‘Santaland” played last year at Onyx to sold-out houses and to glowing reviews.

Dead Man's Cell Phone

by Sarah Ruhl
December 2 - 18, 2011
Black Box Theatre

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café.
A stranger at the next table who has had enough.
And a dead man—with a lot of loose ends.
So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone.
a wildly imaginative new comedy by
MacArthur "Genius" Grant recipient
and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah Ruhl.
A work about how we memorialize the dead
—and how that remembering changes us—
it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions

The laughs abound in this classic comedy just in time for the holidays.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS

Music & Lyrics by David Yazek
Book by Jeffrey Lane

Based on the popular 1988 film, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS

centers on two con men living on the French Riviera.

The first is the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson,

who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money.

The other, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson,

more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion

with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health.

After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together
only to find that this small French town

isn't big enough for the two of them.

They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000

from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate,

wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues,

that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Mainstage, July 15 - 31, 2011
Thu/Fri/Sat @ 8pm, Sun @ 2pm
Tickets: Adults $25; LVLT Subscribers $20
