Allison Janney, by Kate RomeroFor the ninth installment of the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s ongoing series Conversations With Coco — Miss Coco Peru’s series of live, unscripted interviews with celebrated performing artists — the LA drag legend welcomes the multiple award-winning actress Allison Janney to the Center’s Renberg Theatre on Saturday, March 7, at 8pm. Miss Coco’s previous conversations have included those with Liza Minnelli, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Lainie Kazan, Charles Busch, Lesley Ann Warren, Karen Black, and Bea Arthur. Miss Coco has prepared a multimedia presentation featuring highlights of Ms. Janney’s brilliant career, as well as ample opportunity for the kind of casual yet in-depth conversation audiences have come to relish.

Allison Janney is a six-time Primetime Emmy Award-winner for her television work (The West Wing, Masters of Sex, Mom). She won the Outer Critics Circle and Clarence Derwent Awards for her performance in Present Laughter on Broadway and also received Tony Award nominations for her work in A View from the Bridge and 9 to 5. She is a multiple SAG Award-winner and has received countless other nominations and awards across all disciplines of entertainment.

Blending fascinating discussion, revealing stories, and a multimedia survey of her guests’ careers, Conversations With Coco has proven to be among the Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center’s most popular offerings. “In case you are unaware,” says Miss Coco, “Conversations With Coco is similar to Inside The Actors Studio only it’s much more fun and I’m prettier than James Lipton — sort of.” For more information about Miss Coco Peru, visit www.misscoco.com.

General admission tickets for Conversations With Coco with Special Guest Allison Janney are $50. VIP tickets are available for $250 which include reserved orchestra seating, a pre-event cocktail hour, and a post-event reception with Miss Coco and Ms. Janney. Tickets may be purchased online at http://coco-allison-janney.eventbrite.com or by phone at (323) 860-7300.
