Los Angeles Regional Foodbank Bins in Geffen Lobby Through Dec 20
LOS ANGELES, December 2, 2009 — This holiday season, the Geffen Playhouse is encouraging its patrons to “lend a helping can” by bringing an item of non-perishable food with them when they come to the theater. Working with the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank, the Geffen Playhouse has bins in the lobby area from December 1 through December 20. With two shows playing at the theater this month – Equivocation on the theater’s main stage and Alan Cumming’s cabaret show in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater, the Geffen estimates nearly 5000 patrons will pass through the theater – hopefully with a can in tow. As extra incentive, all patrons who bring a can to the theater during box office hours will receive $20 off limited tickets to see The Female of the Species starring Annette Bening, which opens in February 2010. The discount only applies to tickets purchased on the same day as the patron’s foodbank donation. For more details, please contact the box office at 310-208-5454.
