The Balcony Scene

The Balcony Scene

Raven Playhouse
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.
