About
The theatrical season doesn't officially start until June 1 at this open-air amphitheater squirreled away in Topanga Canyon. But the surrounding gardens -- a loose compilation of Egyptian papyrus, various sage varieties, loping bundles of rosemary, tufts of irises, centenarian oaks and a trickling creek -- always welcome picnickers and friends. The former digs of blacklisted actor-onetime botany major Will Geer (that's Grandpa Walton to you), the site went from vegetable garden and arts colony to professional repertory theater rather organically. In other words, don't come looking for some manicured design. Says house manager Ameena Maria Khawaja, "That would be too contrived for the area... It needs to keep the 'Topanga feel.' "
