Wednesday
Put down this paper and dial that phone … well, in a second. Let us explain. Tonight, the Museum of Tolerance screens “Paper Clips,” a Miramax film that documents how one school principal found a way to teach her predominantly white Fundamentalist Christian students in Tennessee about the Holocaust. The children of Whitwell Middle School took on the project of collecting one paperclip for each person lost in the Holocaust, and wound up receiving thousands of paperclips attached to pictures and notes in the mail every day until their goal was complete. The screening is open and free for the first 100 people who call the reservation line. Better get going.
7:30 p.m. Museum of Tolerance Peltz Theater, 9786 W. Pico Blvd., Beverly Hills. R.S.V.P., (323) 822-4393.
Thursday
Gudahpooday? Not till you’ve seen “The Producers.”
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the Mel
Brooks comedy that’s been turned into a musical. But now that’s it’s been in
town for a while, you should have less trouble getting tickets to the bawdy,
silly good time starring Jason Alexander and Martin Short, and show-stealer
Angie Schworer. Hurry up though. “Springtime for Hitler” closes this winter.
Runs through Jan. 3. $25-$95. Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., Los
Angeles. (213) 365-3500. “>www.voxfeminala.org
