I always appreciate a theatre that gives back to the community! The SkyPilot Theatre is one of them. Every production that they did in the past gave portion of the proceeds to some organization. Their current production is TAKING SIDES, a play by British playwright Ronald Harwood, the Academy Award Winning Writer of THE PIANIST.
TAKING SIDES is a powerful examination of the denazification trial of Wilhelm Furtwangler, conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. While no nonsense U.S. Army Major Steve Arnold investigates, Furtwangler fights for his freedom as Arnold dragnet’s his search for a high profile celebrity guilty of supporting Hitler.
Performances are thru November 19th, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 7 pm.
Tickets are $20 and a portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to The Museum of Tolerance.

“Ronald Harwood’s “Taking Sides” tackles issues that are both historical and as timely as today’s headlines. . . is an artist above politics? Does genius excuse immoral behavior? Can people be forgiven for the questionable measures they take to survive in a crisis? Michael Brainard and his talented, energetic cast at the Sidewalk Studio have done Los Angeles a service by bringing this gripping play to life.”
