Stella Adler Theatre Presents THE CHARM OF MAKING, Now Thru 4/25

Set in present day, small town Mississippi, The Charm of Making examines the conflict between religion and sexuality through the eyes of the last living members of an old Southern family. Elvin Randolph's attempts to break the chains of the past and embrace his homosexuality lead to tragedy and ultimately redemption as he struggles to reconcile his faith, his family history, and his sexuality, in modern day Mississippi.

About VOTE FOR EQUALITY:

The California Supreme Court ruling upholding Prop. 8 and maintaining the ban on marriage for same-sex couples marked the beginning of the next battle in the fight for the freedom to marry. The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center is not resting when it comes to advancing equality. To win marriage equality, we will need every person who supports us to get involved. The Center's Vote for Equality (VFE) campaign is working to build the political power of LGBT people and allies in Los Angeles County to advance marriage equality, and reduce homophobia in our community. Through door-to-door canvasses, phone banks, leadership development, voter education and other actions, VFE works to change the hearts and minds of those who voted for Prop 8.

TICKET PRICE: $20.00 for all regular performances.
