THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.—Tickets sold out a week before Shen Yun Performing Arts arrived at the Fred Kavli Theatre for the Performing Arts Jan. 22. Some audience members were overheard in the hallways of the theater saying they had waited years to see Shen Yun.
Actress Natasha Zavala saw it for the first time. She said, “I loved the show. I loved the culture.”
Mrs. Zavala graduated from the University of Theatre Arts in Kiev and performed with the Academic Theatre of Russian Drama before moving to Los Angeles to work in television. Fine performing arts are important to her. She said, “I’m born and raised in Russia. I love the ballet dance [and] art.”
She expressed enthusiasm for Shen Yun.
“I’m really excited to see it,” she said. “I read a lot [about] this. That’s why I came. Right now I’m just really, 100 percent, [this is] just what I expected.”
