Quack at Kirk Douglas Theatre

Eliza Clark's Quack exposes the shaky foundations of the wellness industry, the fleeting nature of 21st-century fame and the relationship between the powerful men who dole out advice and the women who are supposed to receive it with a smile. Dr. Irving Baer and his daytime talk show reaches millions of women across America who rely on Baer to help them lose weight, manifest their destinies, and take their health into their own hands. When a take-down piece of journalism goes viral, leaving Baer's career hanging in the balance, his marriage on the rocks and his carefully maintained public persona in peril -- one thing becomes clear: if Baer is going to fall from grace, he's bringing everyone else with him. See this hilarious new comedy at Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
