A SoCal Theatre Festival, Felled By The Recession, Is Resurrected In A New Location

“The four-day California International Theatre Festival will run Aug. 20-23 at various locations throughout the city of Calabasas. The festival is being organized by actress Linda Purl, who last year directed the Rubicon International Theatre Festival in Ventura. When financial cutbacks forced the cancellation of the Ventura festival for 2009, Purl approached the city of Calabasas, which agreed to partly fund the new festival.”
