The cast of Spring Awakening in La Mirada Theatre’s ONSTAGE series Second Acts Once scheduled for demolition and now an Emmynominated theater, La Mirada loves a happy ending. W ith critically acclaimed plays, musicals, and traveling productions for all ages, La Mirada Theatre lives on as one of LA’s live performance treasures. By Jenn GarBee 160 June 2013 During its 36-year tenure, La Mirada Theatre has received numerous Emmy Awards, Tony Award nominations, and local peer-reviewed Ovation Awards.

Originally a single-screen movie theater on the verge of demolition, La Mirada was converted into a state-of-the-art performing arts venue in 1977 with more than 1,200 seats. The season is anchored by the McCoy Rigby Broadway Series of five musicals or plays and a featured annual event, such as last month’s Shirley MacLaine performance. Upcoming productions include Next to Normal, a Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical (through June 23), and the Troubadour Theater Company’s hilarious Shakespeare pop culture mash-up, A Midsummer Saturday Night’s Fever Dream (July 12–14). During the 2013–14 season, keep an eye out for La Mirada’s productions of the hit musicals Les Misérables and Cats. Other unique offerings include several annual teen-targeted productions, an ONSTAGE series during which the theater is converted into an intimate black box venue, and Upright Cabaret nights (the lobby morphs into a swanky cabaret cocktail lounge). Music lover? The performing arts complex is also home to the La Mirada Symphony. Encore! http://www.lamiradatheatre.com http://www.lamiradatheatre.com
