The Fountain Theatre’s “Forever Flamenco” series returns, heating up the summer and paying homage to series founder Deborah Culver Lawlor with four performances in August.
Dubbed the “Fountain Theatre’s godmother of flamenco” by the Los Angeles Times, Lawlor, who passed away last year at the age of 83, curated the series for over 30 years, producing hundreds of authentic Spanish flamenco performances at the Fountain’s intimate, 80-seat venue. “Flamenco comes out of the life of a gypsy,” she once said in an interview. “It’s an extremely difficult dance form that requires years to get into your body.”
“Forever Flamenco” regulars will recognize their favorite performers, many of whom were first introduced to the Fountain stage by Lawlor, as well as some new faces. Four performances are set for Saturday, Aug. 3; Saturday, Aug. 10; Saturday, Aug. 17; and Friday, Aug. 23. All performances begin at 8 p.m. The Fountain Theatre is located at 5060 Fountain Ave. in Los Angeles. VIP seating in the first two rows cost $50, regular seating is $40, senior seating is $35, and student seats are $25. Tickets can be purchased at FountainTheatre.com or by calling (323) 663-1525.
