  • LA Theatre Works, Sunday, April 26 at 10:00 pm, Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" starring James Marsters, Charles Busch and Matt Wolf

    This final play from the pen of Oscar Wilde is a stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a lost handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing ladies who think their names are Earnest, “that name which inspires absolute confidence”. Wilde’s effervescent wit, scathing social satire, and high farce make this one of the most cherished plays in the English language. Interview with Michael Hackett—the Department Chair of Theater at UCLA. In addition to his extensive directorial work for L.A. Theatre Works—which includes plays by Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, and Noël Coward.

    Phil and Ted re-visit their interview with author Nikki Nash on her hilarious and poignant memoir of growing up in La La Land. Niki is no ordinary Valley Girl.

At age 14, Nikki fixated on Warren Beatty, determined to win his heart. And she did! Nikki went on to pursue a vibrant career as a TV associate director, comic, writer, and actress. Her celebrity-infused journey of sex, drugs, religion, and Hollywood culture is told in her upcoming, laugh-filled memoir, "Collateral Stardust." Plus! Firesign Theatre's "Beat the Reaper!”
