NTL Screening: No Man's Land Theater
Presented by Irvine Barclay Theatre in Association with Arts Orange County
Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 6:30pm
Broadcast in HD from Wyndham's Theatre, London.
Following their hit run on Broadway, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart return to the West End stage in Harold Pinter's No Man's Land.
One summer's evening, two ageing writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst's stately house nearby. As the pair become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable, the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men.

Also starring Owen Teale and Damien Molony, don't miss this glorious revival of Pinter's comic classic. The broadcast will be followed by an exclusive Q&A with the cast and director Sean Mathias.

John Pizzarelli Quartet
Jazz/Blues
Presented by Irvine Barclay Theatre
Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 8pm
John Pizzarelli has been entertaining audiences for over 20 years, singing classic standards and late-night ballads, and by playing sublime and inventive guitar. Using greats like Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra (for whom he opened in 1993) as touchstones, Pizzarelli brings a cool jazz flavor to the Great American Songbook. Pizzarelli has collaborated with an array of artists that include James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Rickie Lee Jones, Rosemary Clooney, and of course, his father, the legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. With his charm, humor and rollicking swing jazz showmanship, Pizzarelli issetting the standard for stylish modern jazz.

Saturday, January 14, 2017 @ 9:30 PM
Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are yanking the britches right off of their marriage, exposing the salacious details of their fiery union for all the world to enjoy, featuring songs, funny talking, heavy ribaldry, light petting and an astonishing final act of completion.
The accomplished entertainers have also won multiple awards including a Television Critics Association Award for Achievement in Comedy and two Critics Choice Television Awards for Offerman and two Emmy Awards and four Screen Actors Guild Awards for Megan Mullally. Having worked together extensively on screen and stage, the duo is perhaps best known for their portrayal of a passion that dare not be named, as Ron and Tammy 2 in NBC's Parks and Recreation.
** These shows are being taped for future broadcast.

Presented by Irvine Barclay Theatre
Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 8pm
Africa's superstar a cappella group, made famous on Paul Simon's 1986 Grammy-winning Graceland album, is still going strong.
For over forty years, the voices of Ladysmith Black Mambazo have married the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music. The result is a musical and spiritual alchemy that has touched a worldwide audience representing every corner of the religious, cultural and ethnic landscape. Their musical efforts over the past four decades have garnered praise and accolades within the recording industry, but also solidified their identity as a cultural force to be reckoned with.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been invited to perform at many special occasions. They performed for South African President Nelson Mandela, the Queen of England and the Royal Family at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The group has also performed at two Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies, a concert for Pope John Paul II in Rome, the South African presidential inaugurations, the 1996 Summer Olympics and many other special events.
