Our Man In Santiago at Theatre West

A comic spy thriller inspired by the true story of a spectacularly botched U.S. attempt to overthrow Salvador Allende, Chiles Marxist, democratically elected leader. In this new political farce by two-time Emmy nominee and WGA award-winner Mark Wilding (Greys Anatomy, Scandal, Good Girls, Charmed), the CIA enlists an inexperienced, somewhat guileless agent to follow up with a last-ditch, poorly conceived and wildly dangerous effort to hasten the 1973 Chilean coup d'tat. March 13 through April 5: Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. Theatre West, 3333 Cahuenga Blvd, West, Los Angeles, CA 90068; $25-$30; (323) 851-7977; www.TheatreWest.org
