THEOFILOS AND HIS FAIRY TALES
The Hellenic University Club of Southern California presents its fifth
annual theatrical production: "Theophilos and his fairy tales" written by
Nestoras Matsas. The play is about the unusual folk painter from Lesbos,
the hardships he endured and his unparalleled devotion to his work.
Theophilos imbued with the Hellenic culture was totally unappreciated
during his own time. The value of his art was recognized only after his
death. Now his paintings are hanging in museums all over the world and are
very much sought after. Using humor and very clever character development,
the play is both entertaining and educational.
The play is staged in Greek with simultaneous, in-theater translation in
English via a limited number of headsets. There are two shows scheduled
for Saturday April 12, 1997 at 7:30 PM and Sunday April 13, 1997 at 5:00 PM.
The performance will take place at the fabulous James Armstrong Theatre,
Torrance Cultural Arts Center, 3330 Civic Center Drive, Torrance, California.
Tickets are available for sale: $20 for adults and $10 for children and
students.
