The Balcony Scene
5233 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood
Before he wrote some of the best episodes of Friends, primetime TV writer Wil Calhoun (Whitney, Gary Unmarried, What I Like About You) wrote for the stage. His Broadway hit, The Balcony Scene, weaves together neurotic comedy and breezy romance -- a dynamite combo instantly recognizable to fans of his TV work. Meet Alvin, the Chicago Cubs-loving agoraphobe who has barricaded himself inside his Windy City high rise. He absolutely, positively, 100% refuses to engage with the outside world ... unless it's to talk to his neighbor, Karen, a diehard optimist who might just upend his precious isolation. Now the Vagabond Players stage this "sunny salute to romance" (Los Angeles Times) at the Raven Playhouse.
