Into the Woods Final Weekend at the GEM Theatre in Garden Grove!

One More Productions presents the final show of the 2008-2009 season, Into the Woods, at the GEM Theatre in Garden Grove this weekend!  The show will close out this Sunday, July 12th, 2009.  Doesn’t leave you much time to see the show, but I think it’ll be worth your while.

Jon Wilhite Night

The fatal crash of former Angels pitcher, Nick Adenheart and his friends Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson was not easy for me to take in.
