Fair Use Laws of Attraction! Sexual politics and legal brinksmanship collide in this brilliant
romantic comedy making its West Coast Premiere at Diversionary. Sy (Amanda Sitton) is in love with her co-counsel Madi (Jacque Wilke), who in turn is involved with Chris (Wyatt Ellison). While in the midst of a high-profile legal case, the love triangle gets complicated by a series of seductive, eloquent love letters, echoing Cyrano de Bergerac. Fair Use was developed at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company as part of their First Look Repertory of New Plays during the summer of 2008 and had its world premiere at Actor’s Express in Atlanta, Georgia. “The play savors the pleasures of language, sensuality and rich debate over such elusive concepts, as intellectual property”. Creative Loafing/ Atlanta, Top 10 Plays of 2009. Sarah Gubbins has previously worked at Steppenwolf on new plays including We
All Went Down to Amsterdam, Men of Tortuga, The Butcher of Baraboo and Gary. Sarah recently completed an MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage at Northwestern Uni- versity. Fair Use was a Finalist in the Kendeda Graduate Playwriting Competition and won the Agnes Nixon Playwriting Award at Northwestern. Plays February 24 through March 13 at Diversionary Theatre.

The Wizard of Oz – The Spectacular New National Tour
When the dedication for the opening credits of the 1939 MGM classic The
Superior Donuts Hot off the Broadway stage, this is a hilarious and soulful new comedy from the
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning author of August: Osage County. Pony-tailed, ex- 60s radical Arthur Przybyszewski is the owner of a struggling, run-down donut shop in uptown Chicago. His shop gets vandalized, he is worn out. Is Superior Donuts destined to close its doors forever? Enter live wire Franco Wicks, a young black man with his Great American novel tucked under his arm. Franco convinces Arthur to hire him with the dream of transforming the donut stop into an upscale coffee shop with live music and poetry slams. The growing bond between them is the heart of a tale about two very dif- ferent men with extraordinary potential who discover the healing power of friendship. Their story is full of surprising secrets, big laughs and even bigger emotional stakes. Plays February 5 through March 6 at the Lyceum Theatre. For tickets and more information visit

Wizard of Oz was written, no one could’ve imagined the lasting impact the movie would have on American culture. The actual time it takes (just over 100 minutes) to transport viewers from Kansas to the magical world of Oz and back again is relatively brief. But, as anyone who has viewed the movie knows, the story resonates much longer than that. Climactic lines such as, “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore,” and “Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!” will never be forgotten. Judy Garland’s performance of “Over the Rainbow” has been hummed for decades and once heard is forever emblazoned on hearts and in minds. That is the phenomenon of The Wizard of Oz. The beloved film is thought to have been seen by more than 1 billion
consumers and this theatrical production of The Wizard of Oz is a spectacular celebration of that classic 1939 MGM film. It’s a new, refreshed and lavish rendi- tion of the beloved classic. Audience’s young and old, seeing it for the first time or the fifth, will be dazzled by the art deco sets, charmed by its timeless score and enthralled by its breathtaking special effects. And whether it creates new memories, or conjures them up from the past, everyone deserves to experi- ence or relive the wonderful, whimsical and enduring story, The Wizard of Oz. Plays February 15 through 20 at the San Diego Civic Theatre. For tickets and more information visit
