May 11 – June 10 ? Segerstrom Stage JITNEY by August Wilson directed by Ron OJ Parson Cheering audiences rose to their feet and critics throughout the Southland spun superlatives as the curtain fell on Fences, but that was only the beginning for SCR and August Wilson. Now it's the 1970s, and urban renewal threatens a storefront station, where the drivers of gypsy cabs (known as jitneys) share their funny stories about the day's fares and meddle in each other's lives. Cronies drop in, fights break out, a son faces his father after 20 years in prison, lovers make up, and just as we get to know them, Wilson asks us to look again. Tickets: $20-68.

It’s “La Fête du siècle” (“the party of the century”) when Pacific Symphony’s 2012 Gala whisks guests back in time to La Belle Époque, a joyous time in cultural history—turn-of-the-century France. The sensuous and gregarious excitement of the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère abounds, as the evening of music, dancing and French-influenced cuisine takes place Saturday, May 19, at 5:30 p.m., at the Hyatt Regency Irvine at Jamboree Center. Inspired by the Symphony’s first concert opera, Puccini’s “La Bohème,” patrons are invited to revel in the joie de vivre, as they stroll through a snow-covered Parisian marketplace, a Cirque d’Hiver (“Winter Circus”), can-can dancers, a champagne fountain and more 1890s surprises during the colorful cocktail reception. Guests are then ushered into the grand ballroom for a gourmet feast and cabaret show. Also, special guest soprano Valentina Fleer sings Musetta’s Waltz from “La Bohème,” accompanied by pianist David Clemenson. The evening culminates with a thrilling live auction, and guests dance the night away! at 5:30 pm - Temple Bat YahmTemple Bat Yahm
Time: 6:30 pm
