Stephen Schwartz will be in attendance for the opening night performance and afterparty of WORKING this Friday at 8:00 p.m. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s parents also will be here to proudly represent their son at the opening and afterparty, as Lin-Manuel is unable to break away from his Broadway show.

Venice Little Theatre Presents Niel Simon's Come Blow Your Horn: 5/16/2008
Come Blow Your Horn was Neil Simon’s first Broadway play. It opened in 1961 and was an immediate hit, garnering Simon his first of many Tony nominations. In an era of edgy drama, the show thrilled New York audiences and set them to laughing aloud. So much so, that it became the longest running Broadway comedy up to that time.
And, as every American theatre-goer now knows, it set off a string of Simon hits that saw at least one Simon play on Broadway for the next 14 years. This perennially popular piece is the final offering in Venice Little Theatre’s 2007-08 MainStage season.
