THEATRE
Mamafied, is a solo comedy about motherhood: “…Susanna Brisk hilariously chronicles her struggles with pre-partum depression, having two kids less than a year apart and the resulting hormonal havoc. The everyday realities of parenting prove too much for this Jewish Australian Princess, as she tries desperately to appear normal for her kids, slapping on a phony smile and saying “Mommy’s crying because she’s happy.” The show previews tonight.
8:30 pm // Edgemar Center For The Arts // 2437 Main St., Santa Monica // $20.

The gala reception’s tonight and will be hosted be Christopher Knight a/k/a Peter Brady.

Harold and Maude is an unusual love story with plenty of humor - and you can finally catch it on the big screen tonight.
