Liza Minnelli Set for LA Gay & Lesbian Center's CONVERSATIONS WITH COCO, 3/20
For the eighth installment of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's ongoing series, Conversations With Coco-Miss Coco Peru's series of live, unscripted interviews with celebrated performing artists-the L.A. drag legend welcomes the legendary, quadruple-threat entertainer Miss Liza Minnelli to the Center's Renberg Theatre.
Like her previous get-togethers with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Lainie Kazan, Charles Busch, Lesley Ann Warren, and the late Karen Black and Bea Arthur, Miss Coco has prepared a multi-media presentation featuring highlights of Ms. Minnelli's storied career, as well as ample opportunity for the kind of casual yet in-depth conversation audiences have come to relish at Coco's table.
Blending fascinating discussion, revealing stories and a multi-media survey of her guests' careers, Conversations With Coco have proven to be among the Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center's most popular offerings. "In case you don't know," says Miss Coco, "Conversations With Coco is sort of like Inside The Actors Studio, only it's much more fun, and I'm prettier than James Lipton-sort of."
Miss Minnelli will also be making her Disney Hall debut on Tuesday, March 25. The Oscar-Tony-Emmy-Grammy-Golden Globe winner is making a special, one-night-only appearance, and tickets are available at laphil.com/tickets/liza-minnelli/2014-03-25.
Conversations With Coco, with special guest Liza Minnelli is set for Thursday, March 20, at 8 p.m. at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre (200-seat capacity), The Village at Ed Gould Plaza, 1125 N.
