Last Call at Atwater Village Theatre

In this semi-autobiographical dramedy by writer/producer Anne Kenney (Outlander, Switched at Birth, L.A. Law), the Vaughn familys go-to defense mechanism of sarcasm and mordant humor falls short when the aging parents hatch a not-so-funny way to avoid the retirement home. Jan. 18 through Feb. 23: Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:p.m. & Sundays at 2 p.m. Open Fist Theatre Company at Atwater Village Theatre, 3269 Casitas Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039; $25 with advance purchase, $30 at the door; (323) 882-6912; www.openfist.org.
