Santa Monica Playhouse
The Main Stage at Santa Monica Playhouse.
The weekend is here and there's only one thing that should be on your mind: Italy.
That's right. It's the Eighth Annual Precious Cheese Italian Feast of San Gennaro. So tasty. So cheesy. So Italian.
But for westsiders, schlepping all the way over to Hollywood can be a big hassle. The drive can be migraine inducing -- not to mention trying to find a parking spot in Hollywood.
So for our west-side friends, there's still hope for all things Italian this weekend.
The Santa Monica Playhouse is showing "Poco a Poco," a bi-lingual (Italian-English) play that's sure to put you in the Italian spirit.
There are four performances to choose from, and admission is absolutely free. Just remember: reservations are required.
We've saved the best part for last.
That free admission includes "a post-show discussion with the creative team and participation in Ciao Chow Italian food-tasting after the show," Westside Today reported.
Free show? Italian food tasting? Not having to drive to Hollywood?
Perfetto.
