The 1920s was the time of flappers, flamboyance, and the face of Alla Nazimova. This summer Nazimova — Jewish immigrant from Tsarist Russia, Broadway and silent film superstar, visionary Hollywood director and producer, and LGBTQIA trailblazer — makes her triumphant return to Hollywood when Theatre West presents playwright and performer Romy Nordlinger in the West Coast premiere of Garden of Alla: The Alla Nazimova Story. Using immersive video and original music to invoke the Roaring Twenties and create a panoramic, live silent film, Nordlinger brings the life and times of this groundbreaking iconoclast to vivid life.
July 7–July 23: Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. Theatre West, 3333 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Los Angeles, CA 90068 (across the street from Universal CityWalk, between Barham and Lankershim); $35-$40; (323) 851-7977; www.TheatreWest.org
