As a murky murder investigation unfolds, Jeff must decide between doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, or the wrong thing for the right reasons. The show starts at 4 p.m. Tickets cost $40-$48 for general admission and $20 for full-time students. For advance tickets, go to www.latw.org or call 310-827-0889.
