Meet Auntie B: An Upper West Side Manhattanite and advice columnist extraordinaire in Becca Lustgarten’s World Premiere, Dear Auntie B. Written and performed by Becca Lustgarten, directed by Sally Hughes.

B, a self-proclaimed dating guru and a hoot of a cultural commentator, receives terrible news while working on her column that threatens to derail her, both personally and professionally. Dear Auntie B. is about the fight for true love, and, ultimately, how we process and move through grief.

RabbleRouse Theatre Sage Tip

The historic and gorgeous Formosa Cafe is a five minute walk from The Actors Company. The Formosa is said to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in West Hollywood. See a show, take a stroll. Order a Secret Garden, a Singapore Sling or a Flying Embers Ginger Yuzu Mule Hard Kombucha. Have a Crab Rangoon Dip or the Formosa Chow Fun, of course there is a vegan option. If you’re lucky enough to arrive during Golden Hour, The Ginger Rogers pairs quite well with the Shrimp Har Gow. And remember, life is unpredictable, desert is necessary: Fried Sesame Balls & Taro Ice Cream. Map HERE!
