Dinner @Carousel restaurant followed by "Cyrano" at The Fountain Theater

Overview: At 6 pm we will have dinner at the Carousel Restaurant in Los Angeles at 5112 Hollywood Blvd and then at 8 pm we will see a Modern day re-imagined signed/spoken version of the classic “Cyrano de Bergerac,” performed in American Sign Language and spoken English at The Fountain Theater located close by (.5 miles) at 5060 Fountain Avenue, Los Angeles.

Please add "tickets purchased" to your RSVP when you have your ticket so I know you're definitely attending. Also, please remember to answer the "are you coming to dinner?" question when you RSVP so I have accurate numbers for the restaurant :-) Thanks!

Important: Those not attending dinner should look for the group at 7:45pm in the theater lobby; however, this can be tricky with the entire audience rushing around to get tickets and seats. So please note that the group will also gather in the lobby after the play, to (a) ensure that everyone has a chance to be introduced to other group members, and (b) decide whether to go somewhere for coffee and post-play discussion :-)

The restaurant: 6 pm at Carousel Restaurant located at 5112 Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles. The reservation is in my name (John Bolin). Please ask for my table. You can find the menu at

The play: At 8 pm we will see "Cyrano" at the The Fountain Theater at 5060 Fountain Avenue in Los Angeles.

"Cyrano" is a modern day re-imagined signed/spoken version of the classic “Cyrano de Bergerac,” performed in American Sign Language and spoken English. Cyrano is a brilliant deaf poet hopelessly in love with a beautiful hearing woman, Roxy. But she doesn't understand sign language and instead loves his hearing brother, Chris. Can Cyrano express his love for Roxy with his hands? Or must he teach Chris to “speak his words” for him, to woo her? ASL becomes the language of love in this modern sign language spin on a classic love story.

"Cyrano" is performed simultaneously in spoken English and American Sign Language. Fully accessible to all audiences, hearing and deaf."

I purchased my ticket online and typed in "Small Theater Enthusiast of Los Angeles" after my name on the form. The theater will then seat us together.
