Curtain Calls: Fall in love with ‘The Mating Game’ in Walnut Creek

Synergy Theater’s improvised romantic comedy is one of several shows to catch at Lesher Center for the Arts

Lots of theater is happening at the Lesher Center, located at 1601 Civic Dr.

Center Rep continues its run of “Sweat” through April 16 after cast illnesses postponed its original opening. With the cast now healthy, performances of the powerful drama are in full swing.

Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize winner follows a group of lifelong friends whose relationship comes into question as layoffs and picket lines chip away at their close-knit bond. Elizabeth Carter directs a stellar cast which includes Cathleen Riddley, Lisa Anne Porter, Maryssa Wanlass, Michael J. Asberry and Robert Parsons.

For tickets to any of the shows at the Lesher Center, call 925-943-7469 or go to lesherartscenter.org.
