March 23, 2015 to Save 99 Seat Theatre!!

As the time for the AEA Referendum draws closer, I believe that educating the Los Angeles Audience and 99 Seat  (and smaller) Theater Supporters is extremely important.  Please pass the word along about the march on March 23rd.  The metro stops at Chandler and Lankershim with a ten minute walk to the beginning of the march. Or.. just join it as it progresses up Lankershim.
