LIVETHEATRE

Next up at Bravo! Theatre...

is an encore production of I, Claudia starring Jayme Littlejohn in a one woman show playing four different characters! The original production was directed by Lynn Phelan. This encore is being directed by David Wharff. It is a touching and very funny look at a 12 3/4 year old's view and experience of life and family that reminds us of our youth (and how lucky we are to be past it!). Here's what the Guadalajara Reporter's reviewer had to say about the show: "Littlejohn's performance is utterly masterful." "This is an absolutely outstanding "must see" on so many levels..." Tickets $250 pesos, will be on sale soon at Diane Pearl Colecciones and Mia's Boutique or you can reserve here. Dates are: Feb 23, March 3 at 7:30PM Feb 25, 28, March 4 at 4:00PM.
