SouthLAnd and Ben McKenzie fans who can’t wait for the next season to premiere in January on TNT will get rare chance to see Ben live on stage this fall in Los Angeles as he takes on the Tennessee Williams class The Glass Menagerie. Appearing in the role of “the gentleman caller” in this beloved classic, Ben will be joining Two-time  Tony Award®-winner Judith Ivy (Nurse Jackie, Flags of Our Fathers, The Devil’s Advocate), Patch Darragh (Mercy) and Keira Keeley. The Glass Menagerie is directed Gordon Edelstein in what is called “a critically lauded re-imagining of the classic story.”

“…the  production is suffused with emotion from its first moments to its last,  turbulent with the confusions of love and hope and regret and fear that fill  any family living room in a time of crisis and stress.”

- The  New York Times

The play will be showing from September 1 through October 17 at the famous, and fabulous, Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, part of the Center Theater Group that includes the Ahmanson Theater and the Kirk Douglas Theater. This 750 seat theater is an intimate smaller stage, with seating on 3 sides that brings the audience closer to the “action” giving you a feeling of really being part of the production. For those with special needs, it is also wheelchair accessible and provides Phonic Ear sound system headsets on request. Situated in downtown Los Angeles, within walking distance of a multitude of restaurants and clubs and easily accessible to public transportation, the Mark Taper Forum is the perfect destination for a complete evening out on the town for dinner and a show.

To make things even more special, SouthlandTvFans.com visitors are being extended a special offer. From September 1-8 only, for all performances, tickets are only $25 for seats in Section A (directly in front of the stage) – that’s $10-$20 off the regular pricing, depending on the night!
