Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)
Green Grow the Lilacs, a masterpiece of a play written back in 1931, eventually spawned Oklahoma!, the blockbuster Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Written by Oklahoman Lynn Riggs and set in the robust world of frontier life, Green Grow the Lilacs tells the story of cowboy Curly, his love for farm girl Laury, and an evil farmhand who wants Laury for himself, eventually leading to Curly’s arrest for murder on his and Laury’s wedding night. See this beloved romantic drama filled with folk music and cowboy ballads in one of Los Angeles’ most magical places for live theater: the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, an open-air theater nestled in rustic Topanga Canyon.
