The Pilot Who Crashed the Party at The Pilot Who Crashed the Party

Something mysterious is going on. Danger, not out of the question. Something… funny. Add a classical string duo. Sit back and enjoy the world premiere of The Pilot Who Crashed the Party, written and directed by Tony Award winning actor and Second City alum Paul Sand. An off-beat homage to the drawing room dramas of the ’30s, this unique and entertaining new play is set in the Santa Monica Mountains on a violent, stormy night filled with rain, lightning and thunder. The streets outside the mansion where Sally is celebrating her 50th birthday are narrow, winding and newly full of mud — when a pilot in a small, single engine plane literally crashes the party. Who, exactly, is this surprise guest? Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.; 6320 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038; $20-$35; www.onstage411.com/Pilot.
