An Illegal Start at Santa Monica Pier

Theatre in the Merry Go-Round!

Santa Monica Public Theatre brings a revolutionary new concept to the world famous Santa Monica Pier with its presentation of the original stage play, AN ILLEGAL START.

Directed by visionary theatre veteran Paul Sand, AN ILLEGAL START spins the tale of an unlikely friendship borne between two young men who find refuge in a defunct rural amusement park after surviving a near-tragic accident. Their journey through subsequent years is an exploration of the bond between close friends and all of the joy, fear, jealousy, pain and profound meaning that comes with it.
