The Ruskin Group Theatre presents a selection of favorite Cafe Plays from the series’ 7 year history. Every short Cafe Play takes 10.5 hours to create, and playwrights write and actors and directors rehearse in one action-packed day. It’s mandated that each takes place in a cafe but otherwise anything can happen. Strap in for a wild ride!
January 7th through February 5th, the Miles hosts an eclectic line-up of music, storytelling, dance and drama beginning at 8pm. Comfortable lounge seating beside the massive stone fireplace, organic coffees and teas, pastries and an eco-friendly java log fire welcome you to Santa Monicas historic theater.
Organic coffee and tea bar; pastries and light snacks available.
Doors at 7:15pm, show starts 8pm
