Last Chance to see OEDIPUS EL REY!

If you haven't had the opportunity to catch Oedipus El Rey you must make plans to do so this weekend!


"Rhythms pound. Violence escalates. A Chicano delinquent fights his way to the pinnacle of gangland power. But not even he can win the ultimate battle against fate. Sizzling, sexy, and startlingly contemporary, playwright Luis Alfaro’s adaptation tears Sophocles’ timeless Greek tragedy out of its mythic past and catapults it into the vivid, vicious reality of today’s L.A. barrios. Contains adult themes and language, violence, nudity, and cigarettes."- Dallas Theater Center 

Not only is this a MUST SEE- tickets are Buy One, Get One Free tomorrow!

Join us on the patio at One Arts Plaza this weekend for a pre-cocktail and amazing weather prior to experiencing what the Arts District has to offer!
