    They do have a small parking lot, but too tiny to move around in. I suggest parking on the street.

I don't know what the bad comment are about, but I saw the play this past weekend with two of my girlfriends and we all enjoyed it. Yes it may seem confusing that 4 women are playing 20+ parts, but that was mentioned in the program not just under the director's note, but also in the character/scene/year chart. Each scene was its own entity. I found the play to be quite entertaining. Granted each scenes were short so it doesn't give you much time to connect with each character, however I found some monolugues to be quite well written and delivered. I see on average about 2-3 plays per week, ranging from Orange County to LA. And I must say I really like the simplicity and sentimentality of this play. I drove home that night with my girlfriends discussing the significant clothing/jewelry pieces of our lives and found the play to be quite profound and can connect with it on some level. All I have to say about this show is that it really is not bad, and if you read the director's note and the character list before the show starts it can be quite entertaining.

The play was a well crafted story & the 4 actors who played 28 parts did a wonderful job. The Lonny Chapman theatre was comfortable and well maintained . Just a couple blocks away there was a selection of places to eat or drink.
