The Main, 24266 Main St., Newhall
It’s London, 1879, and “The Explorers Club” is a madcap zany farce. The hapless members of the Explorers Club must confront their most lethal threat yet: the admission of a woman into their hermetically sealed ranks. True, Phyllida Spotte-hume is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let a woman into the fraternity could shake the very foundation of the British Empire. Written by Tonynominated playwright Nell Benjamin, “The Explorers Club” received the 2013-2014 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-broadway Play. Tickets ($20) available online at www. olivebranchtheatricals. com or at The Main box office.
