Getty Villa Play-Reading Series: Euripides' Helen & Aristophanes' The Frogs

 *Update* There are reservation buttons now on the site through the link below.

So far the button to make a reservation isn't up, but today is the first day to reserve your tickets for the Getty Villa's Play Reading Series.  I'm guessing it'll be up later today through this link.  Keep in mind parking is only free after 5pm, so those 3pm shows won't be totally free.

Saturday March 6th 3pm or 8pm

Auditorium, Getty Villa


Aristophanes' The Frogs
Friday March 19th 8 pm
