The summer just got even hotter! The Fountain Theatre’s beloved Forever Flamenco series returns, paying homage to series founder Deborah Culver Lawlor with four blow-out performances in August.
Dubbed the “Fountain Theatre’s godmother of flamenco” by the Los Angeles Times, Lawler, who passed away last year at the age of 83, curated the series for over 30 years, producing hundreds of authentic Spanish flamenco performances at the Fountain’s intimate, 80-seat venue. “Flamenco comes out of the life of a gypsy,” she once said in an interview. “It’s an extremely difficult dance form that requires years to get into your body.”
