DOING TIME

Forty-five years ago, Tom Lillard played Prisoner Number Two in “The Brig,” the legendary off-off Broadway play about harsh conditions in a 1957 Marine Corps prison, put up by the Living Theater, which was later shut down for not paying taxes. The company and play were revived in New York last year, and Lillard now directs the play at the Odyssey Theater Ensemble. “This play . . . creates a band of brothers like no other play I’ve ever been in,” Lillard says. “I’m still in touch with the people that were in that play. It’s similar to combat in that way.” Pictured: Bradford Scott, left, and Brad Burgess. Opens 8 p.m. Sat., runs 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat., 7 p.m. Sun., through March 30. 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd. $15-$50.
