7:30 pm: Theater
The Geffen Playhouse’s 1997-98 season concludes with “All in the Timing,” David Ives’ six short screwball comedies: composer Philip Glass at a bakery; a cafe pickup doomed to repeat until the couple get it right; a woman in a bizarre speech class; three typing chimpanzees trying to come up with “Hamlet”; menu hell at a restaurant; and Trotsky, an ax embedded in his head, contemplating fate.
* “All in the Timing,” Geffen Playhouse, 10886 Le Conte Ave., Westwood. Tuesdays-Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 4 and 8:30 p.m.; Sundays, 2 and 7 p.m., through June 28. $27.50-$37.50. (310) 208-5454; (800) 678-5440.
7:30 pm: Documentary
“Road to Return,” a one-hour documentary video about the obstacles ex-convicts face in their attempts to assimilate into society once they are released from prison, will premiere at the Museum of Tolerance. Actor-director Tim Robbins narrates the documentary, which was made by the husband-and-wife team of Leslie Neale and former Doors drummer John Densmore. State Sen. Tom Hayden (D-Santa Monica) and other community leaders will lead a discussion about the issues raised in the documentary immediately after the screening.
* “Road to Return,” Museum of Tolerance, Peltz Theater, 9786 W. Pico Blvd. 7:30 p.m. Free. Reservations recommended. (310) 459-7914.
8 pm: Dance
Monica Favand presents her recently formed, locally based Trip Dance Theatre in “Wanderlust,” which integrates several of Favand’s familiar dance-satires, using choreography by her associates. Her work often uses collages of junkyard objects for its costuming, evoking a post-apocalyptic American landscape formed by the ruins of consumer culture.
* “Wanderlust,” Trip Dance Theatre, La Boca Theatre, Sunshine Mission, 2600 S. Hoover St. (at Adams Boulevard) downtown. Today-Saturday, 8 p.m. Also June 11-13, 8 p.m. $12-$15. (213) 655-2464.
