10 Out of 12

Lamplighters Theatre
5915 Severin Dr. La Mesa

Playwright Anne Washburn catapulted us 75 years into the future in 2014's hit Mr. Burns, a post-electric play. Now Lamplighters Theatre in La Mesa offers up her newest, most adventurous work, 10 Out of 12. The play embarks on a remarkable -- and often brutally honest and funny -- trip into the backstage world of a technical rehearsal. Don a private headset and you'll hear a near-perfect recreation of what goes on behind the scenes, complete with backstage chatter, opening night jitters, potential crises looming large and human stories unfolding.
