Remaining shows 8 p.m. May 26, 27; 2 p.m. May 28
The Main, 24266 Main St., Newhall

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 20132014 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-broadway Play. Tickets ($20) available online at www.olivebranchtheatricals.com or at The Main box office.
