On Saturday, May 18, Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum will present a one-time performance of The Guys, by Anne Nelson, starring Wendie Malick and Dan Lauria, in a tribute to our own first responders and brave Woolsey firefighters.

The Guys is about the aftermath of the September 11 attacks where Joan (Malick, This Is Us, Just Shoot Me, Hot In Cleveland ), a writer, helps Nick (Lauria, This Is Us, The Wonder Years), an FDNY captain who lost most of his men that day, prepare their eulogies. In the process they discover friendship and a shared love for the spirit of New York City.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and includes pre-show drinks and hors d’oeuvres in the Theatricum gardens, as well as a silent auction with exclusive getaways, gifts, and experiences. The performance will take place on the main stage of Theatricum’s beautiful outdoor amphitheater in Topanga.
