For four days in mid-March, the Blurred Vision Theatre Co. of Culver City High School’s Academy of Visual and Performing Arts, AVPA, will present its spring musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, by Stephen Sondheim.
Considered one of the masterpieces of the Broadway stage, Sweeney Todd has entertained audiences with its haunting themes, music, and fascinating tale. Showtimes are Thursday, March 15, through Saturday, March 17, at 7 o’clock, and Sunday March 18, at the Robert Frost Auditorium, 4401 Elenda St.
