The Norris Theatre welcomes you to another sensational
season! Top professional talent has been selected to appeal to
a discriminating audience expecting high quality yet affordable
entertainment—the hallmark of the theatre since its inception.
The 2006-2007 Season promises to be the best ever with
a variety of music, comedy, magic and live theatre.
Since 1983, the Norris Center for
the Performing Arts has been
the cornerstone of the
performing arts on
the beautiful Palos
Verdes Peninsula.
The 450-seat
theatre provides
an intimate setting
for performances,
lectures and recitals,
while the Harlyne J. Norris
Pavilion just across the street
accommodates everything from elegant
banquets to corporate retreats. In addition,
through the Negri Learning Center, hundreds of
children each year creatively grow in the study of the
performing arts.
The Palos Verdes Peninsula and surrounding communities are
greatly enriched by this outstanding performing arts center.
We hope that you will truly enjoy these performances and
indulge in the many fine offerings of the 2006-2007 Season.

Back by popular demand,
three of the “Christines”
from Andrew Lloyd
Webber’s Phantom of the
Opera sing Broadway
classics from the Golden
Era of the ’40s and
’50s, and a collection of
seasonal favorites. This
tune-filled evening has
everything from the
Andrews Sisters-like
Sing for Your Supper to a trio of Santa
Baby and a thrilling dueling high-note
finale from Phantom. Together they
create distinctively intricate three-part
harmonies with a delightful mix of
surprises, flirtatious fun and more than
a touch of class. Think “Three Tenors”
but cool, funny … and better looking in

THE FOREIGNER
November 3-5 and
November 10-12, 2006
When Froggy visits his regular fishing
lodge in rural Georgia, he brings along
a friend, Charlie, a painfully shy man
who is overcome with the thought of
making friends with strangers. So
before parting, Froggy tells everyone
assembled that Charlie is from an
exotic foreign country and speaks no
English. Once Charlie is alone the
fun begins as he overhears more than
he should – evil plans, shocking gossip
and damaging revelations are unveiled
with the belief that Charlie doesn’t
understand a word. The fact that he
does fuels the non-stop hilarity and
sets up the wildly funny climax.
DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER
January 26-28 and February 2-4, 2007
This boulevard comedy was a smash
hit in Paris and London. The main
character, Bernard, is planning a
weekend with his mistress in a stylish
converted French farmhouse. He has
hired a cordon bleu cook to prepare
gourmet delights. He’s arranged for
his wife to go to her mother’s and
convinced his best friend to come for
the weekend, inviting his girlfriend
which provides an alibi. As the play
unfolds, the cook is mistaken for the
mistress, the mistress can’t cook and
the wife is involved with Bernard’s
best friend... A recipe for an evening
of hilarious confusion!

OF LAUGHTER
The Norris Theatre’s 3Play Series was introduced in 2004 as a vehicle through
which the Norris can produce its own live theatre plays. In contrast to the Norris
Presents one-night engagements that are brought in by contracted agents and
producers, the 3Play Series are fully produced by the Norris Theatre.
The Norris oversees all aspects of its 3Play Series. The producing process involves
the hiring of directors and technical crew, the auditioning and casting of actors,
and the custom designing and building of original sets. Producing its own plays
enables the Norris Theatre to offer longer engagements of each of the plays and
promotes the total immersion of theatrical production by the professional staff and
crew. For theatergoers, this translates into an opportunity to see live professional
theatre close to home and at a reasonable price. In addition, the produced plays
provide a venue to showcase local talent from the greater Los Angeles area.
The Norris Center for the Performing
Arts fully funds the 3Play Series with
the generous support of patrons,
donors and sponsors. To learn how
you can help, call 310/544-0403.

LEND ME A TENOR

It’s 1935, and the Cleveland Grand
Opera Company is preparing to
present Othello for the gala season
opener. The star, Tito Morelli,
world famous tenor, is to perform
his greatest role. Unfortunately,
Mr. Morelli sweeps into the Opera
House too late to rehearse with the
company. Through a hilarious series
of mishaps, the tenor is believed dead
and the manager’s assistant, Max,
is persuaded to get into Morelli’s
costume and try to fool the audience.
When Morelli “comes alive,” two Othellos end up on stage.
“Uproarious! Hysterical!” said the Variety review. NY Times
