Get Onboard The Summer’s Biggest Hit

BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS

Tickets: First Class, $15; Penny Pincher, $12

The Found presents a brand-new production of “Beyond Retirement” from Cynthia Galles’ brilliantly funny “Beyond The Valley of the Flight Attendants” series, directed by Lauren Nave and featuring a cast of wacky Found regulars. The age for social security eligibility has been raised to 85, and in yet another desperate cost-cutting measure, Super Saver Airlines has done away with all retirement benefits. Sound familiar? Join the world’s oldest stews on this summer’s most outrageous flight! Now booking.

Global warming got you down? How about that pesky potential war on Iran? Or the never-ending flag lapel pin flap? Why not get out of the house before it’s foreclosed on and come share some laughs and a drink with like-minded travelers...for the price of a coupla lousy gallons of imported gasoline.

2nd ANNUAL $9.99 THEATRE FESTIVAL

Join in or just come watch! Actors, comedians, performance artists, et. al. are invited to enter their best 9.99-minute (or less) theatre piece, produced on a budget not to exceed $9.99. (They must show receipts!). Both original pieces and scenes from classic plays, films, etc. can be presented, and the audience will decide the winners. The Fest was a huge hit last year, with winner Dorothy Spirus going on to present a triumphant month-long run of her hit one-woman show, “Children of a Lesser Goddess” at The Found. Don’t miss this unabashed silliness, presented in tribute to Found Theatre founder, Cynthia Galles, the undisputed queen of cheap theatre!

3rd ANNUAL WORLD’S MOST INTERESTING GARAGE SALE

We’re really getting ruthless this time...clearing out most of our costume stock, lots of props, etc., etc. We’ll also have really great stuff our supporters donate. Call to donate items...or just come and buy to support live theatre in Long Beach.

COMING JANUARY 2009

LAUGH OUT

It’s the end of an error! If the voting machines hold and the Supreme Court stays out of it, George W. Bush will finally leave office. Let’s send him out in style with a parody of the great ‘60s TV show, “Laugh In,” and a tribute to its ground-breaking hosts, the late Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. Lots of political humor, corny jokes, caricatures, and a rousing tune or two.
