All this and brains too live at the Plaza Theatre

She may have debuted in a Jello ad and played a feisty little girl on an episode of the Golden Girls (my personal favorite) but Jenny Lewis has done a lot since her days opposite Tori Spelling in Troop Beverly Hills. Known better these days as the front woman of Rilo Kiley (another personal favorite), Lewis has not only grown into a triple threat (actress, singer, documentary filmmaker) but a beautiful woman.

Every couple of years, Lewis seems to surprise fans with new endeavors such as her teaming up with the Watson Twins or her cameos with the Postal Service and Elvis Costello, not to mention inspiring many a haircut at BarBQ Bar, and she isn't done building that resume' yet.

This Monday Jenny solidifies herself as a filmmaker  as she debuts her  documentary " Welcome To Van Nuys" at The Plaza Theater with special guests Heartless Bastards. "Welcome to Van Nuys" is a look into the recording of "Acid Tongue", Lewis's solo endeavor that is surprisingly filled with a bit more soul, folk, and jazz. The documentary features cameos by Lewis's friends Elvis Costello and Zooey Deschanel (among others) and allows fans a peek into the studio where Acid Tongue was recorded.

For die hard fans, "Welcome to Van Nuys," will undoubtedly be just as flawless and entertaining as any of Jenny Lewis's work. For trivia lovers, Van Nuys is also Jenny Lewis's hometown. Come out to the Plaza Theatre (425 N. Bumby Ave) and spend an evening with an incredible woman. When's the last time you got that kind of invitation?
