THE GOOD LIFE
The Empty Space presents the world premiere of The Good Life, a play written by James Wesley Mann, a Los Angeles actor and writer. Based on true-life vacations and relations, The Good Life weaves a humorous, touching, and sometimes difficult story of a family under stress.
Teen-aged Wes, his older sister, and their parents travel from California to visit relatives in small-town Nebraska, hoping the trip will somehow repair the broken family dynamic. Wes’ uncle and aunt quickly become his surrogate parents as his own parents work on their crumbling relationship. An unusual neighbor boy and a mysterious but benevolent spirit contribute to the story, making it an unforgettable trip both for the characters and the audience alike.
Performance are at 8pm on January 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, 31, with a 2pm Sunday matinee on January 25. The doors open half an hour before show time.
Unless otherwise stated, admission to Empty Space productions is free, with a suggested donation of $15 general admission and $10 for students and seniors. For reservations or more information, please call 661-327-PLAY. or Click here
