Just Like Us A “sneak-peek” reading of Karen Zacarías’ play, which is based on Helen Thorpe’s bestselling book of the same name. This documentary-style piece follows four Latina teenage girls, two of whom are documented and two who are not, through young adulthood. Their close-knit friendships begin to unravel when immigration status dictates the girls’ opportunities — or lack thereof. The Latino Theater Company’s previously announced Los Angeles premiere will now take place at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in 2021. The reading on Friday, Sept. 25 will be preceded by a live, online conversation with the artists on Thursday, Sept. 24; the reading and the conversation will each stream for 10 days. www.thelatc.org

Broadway On Demand, the new streaming platform for theater devotees, is proud to stream Anna Karenina based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy, captured on film in front of a live audience from the Moscow Operetta Theatre, this Saturday, September 19 at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT, only on BroadwayOnDemand.com. This Anna Karenina, presented in Russian with English subtitles, is a spectacular, breathtaking, high-tech musical production based on the masterpiece by Leo Tolstoy. The dramatic and tumultuous love story between Anna Karenina and a dashing military officer, Alexey Vronsky, takes place amidst the glitter and luxury of the Russian nobility in the second half of the 19th century. The musical’s characters struggle with overwhelming love and betrayal, passion and duty, and hope and desperation. Although almost a century and a half has passed since the time of the story, the timeless quality of events unfolding before the audience remains both gripping and touching. The production was captured on film in front of a live theatre audience in 2018. View trailer HERE.
