To avoid closure of 18 theatres in Los Angeles' performing arts district, www.nohoartsdistrict.com has created a 'Save NoHo Theatres from COVID19' Go Fund Me campaign to help pay for 60 days of 18 theatres' rent. The NoHo Arts District is just one-square mile and it has the second largest concentration of theatres in the United States.

Sherry Glaser is bringing her one-woman a?oeOh My Goddess! A Comedy of Biblical Proportionsa?? to The Marsh Berkeley for a 6-week run. To say she has had an unorthodox career would be an understatement. After spending her formative years in the early 80's San Diego improv scene alongside other young upstarts like Whoopi Goldberg and Kathy Najimy, she shot to prominence with a?oeFamily Secretsa?? which remains the longest-running female solo show in Off-Broadway history. Shortly thereafter, tragedy struck with the disappearance of her husband and creative partner. Stunned by that turn of events, Glaser focused on raising her two daughters while also developing new works and playing smaller venues close to her northern California home. She is now back, feisty and funny and political as ever.
