AVENTURA Activities Trips and Tours: Summer 2016 Actors’ Playhouse Presents “Buyer & Cellar” & Lunch On Your Own Wednesday, July 20, 2016 Bus Leaves: 10:45 AM Lunch On Your Own: 12 Noon - 1:30 PM Showtime: 2 PM Enjoy lunch on your own at one of the fine restaurants near the theater. A list of suggested restaurants will be provided.

Winner of the 2013 Drama Desk Award, this fantastically funny one-man tour-de-force was the most talked about new comedy of last year’s Off-Broadway season. Buyer & Cellar is an outrageous new comedy about the oddest of odd jobs: an underemployed Los Angeles actor goes to work in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu basement. What follows is a riotously funny new play that gets every comedic element right and ultimately questions the price of fame. One actor will amaze audiences playing a handful of roles including himself, his boyfriend, Streisand’s Manager, James Brolin and ultimately Barbra herself.

Price Price includes round-trip transportation from the Aventura Mall parking lot to Coral Gables, orchestra seat and bus gratuity.
