Although the Palisades Fire destroyed Pierson Playhouse, home of the Theatre Palisades Community Theatre, it did not destroy the talent and the desire to perform.
The Palisades Community and now Venice, Marina Del Rey Culver City and Westchester are all closer to quality theater as The Wisdom of Eve by Mary Orr opens September 5 at the Blue Door Playhouse in Culver City
This timeless tale of deception is skillfully directed by Sherman Wayne, and produced by the talented Martha Hunter. The 1964 play pulls back the curtain on the cutthroat world of Broadway, centered around the seemingly innocent Eve Harrington.
She arrives as a devoted fan of the legendary actress Margo Crane and is hired as her personal assistant. But as Eve sets her sights on the spotlight, her relentless ambition unleashes a chain of manipulation and betrayal that threatens to destroy careers and friendships.
This masterful play, by Mary Orr explores themes of envy, manipulation, and the ruthless pursuit of success, mirroring the intense drama of its cinematic inspiration, All About Eve.
Showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays, September 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees, September 7, 14 and 21 are 2 p.m.
