Press release from the City of Culver City: March 02, 2022 ALMA Showing March 6 - April 3, 2022 World Premiere by Benjamin Benne Directed by Juliette Carrillo Kirk Douglas Theatre 9820 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232 free three hour parking at Culver City City Hall with validation, which can be processed in the Douglas lobby. For ticket information and to purchase your seats, please visit the Center Theatre Group website. Audience Services at (213) 972-4400 The world premiere of ALMA features the story of single mother Alma and her daughter, Angel, who made sixteen wishes long ago for good health, love, carne asada every day, and perfect SAT scores, just to name a few. Now that Angel is 17, her vision for the future is different than the one she made with her immigrant mother all those years ago. Written by L.A. playwright and winner of the National Latinx Playwriting Award Benjamin Benne, ALMA is filled with lots of amor and a touch of symbolism. It begs the question: what does the American Dream mean today - and who does it belong to? Benjamin Benne, Playwright "Alma."   Health and Safety: All guests are required to wear a mark and provide proof of full vaccination along with proof of booster shot for those eligible and a government or student photo ID upon arrival.                                  This press release was produced by the City of Culver City.
