Walnuts, olive oil, fresh bread (from Sweet Lily French bakery next door!), chopped peppers, breadsticks, freshly grated parm, meatballs, fresh red sauce and more, most of which the actors consume onstage. Producing a show about an Italian immigrant family has its perks! (1/2)

IT PASSED. Thank you, Gov. @GavinNewsom, Senator @Portantino, the @sb1116ca coalition and allies. #SB1116 is a landmark bill and a lifeline for small arts organizations in California. More work to be done, but this is a good day for the arts in our state! #LAThtr #TheatreWest
