February 10 – 26 ? Julianne Argyros Stage THE BORROWERS by Mary Norton adapted for the stage by Charles Way directed by Shelley Butler In this enchanting new play based on an award-winning classic of children's literature, Arrietty lives a quiet life with her parents in a warm and cozy home. But, like any 14-year-old girl, she longs for the big wide world. And that world is really enormous for Arrietty because she's only four inches tall, and home is beneath the floorboards with scary “human beans” living just above. One day she's allowed to go above to “borrow” a few necessities and meets a human boy. But when he accidentally reveals their hiding place, her little family has to flee to the great outdoors, where she sees her first sunrise, gets surprised by a crow and spends the night in a shoe. Arrietty's adventure has begun! Tickets: $20-$32. See last page for performance times. at 8:00 pm - South Coast Repertory TheaterSouth Coast Repertory Theater

January 27 – February 26 ? Segerstrom Stage ? West Coast Premiere ELEMENO PEA by Molly Smith Metzler directed by Marc Masterson It’s just after Labor Day, and Martha’s Vineyard has started emptying out, but you can still smell the suntan lotion (the expensive kind). And the expensive life is just what Simone is living these days, as personal assistant to Michaela Kell, trophy wife of an absurdly rich (and often absent) New York ad man. When Simone’s older sister, a social worker from blue collar Buffalo, comes to visit, lifestyles—and worlds—collide. This keenly observed comedy about class, family and the choices that shape who we are unfolds in real time, fast, furious and funny. Tickets: $20-$68. See last page for performance times. at 8:00 pm - February 23, 2012

She is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament Studies, and Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University Divinity School and College of Arts and Sciences. Her new book, The Jewish Annotated New Testament was co-authored with Marc Zvi Brettler, the Dora Golding Professor of Biblical Studies at Brandeis University. This book is the first time that Jewish scholars have ever been involved in editing a version of the New Testamen at 9:30 am - South Coast Repertory TheaterSouth Coast Repertory Theater
