MARSHALL’S LAW explores the explosive relationship between two ex-best friends and the circumstances that tore them apart. When Abby shows up at Zach’s house, she has no idea that they’ve been tricked by her son Marshall who promptly locks them in the basement. As they scream and fight and taunt and laugh and remember, they explore their life long friendship and the facts that live below Zach’s relationship with Abby’s ex-husband who was recently killed in a car accident that may or may not be Zach’s fault.

Though he is never seen, we are constantly reminded that young Marshall sits just beyond the basement door, sporadically sliding notes to them when he needs a iPod, a snack, or to revel what he knows. Told in real time, we watch two damaged people who are not only trapped in a basement but also trapped in their separate perceptions as they struggle to make sense of what they’ve done to each other and to accept that maybe, just maybe, the blame isn’t as obvious as it appeared to be.

Exploding with and all the emotional complexity found within our most important relationships, Marshall’s Law promises an extraordinary theater experience filled with rage, laughter, pain, and hope led by two powerhouse performances.

“An enchanting Cinderella!” raves LA TIMES, “And she’s no slouch with a slightly risqué put-down, either!” “Magical!” exclaims DRAMA-LOGUE. The hilarious, family-friendly Rudie-DeCarlo reworking of the classic fairytale is back by audience demand for one weekend only! The single most requested Playhouse Musical Matinee on three continents, the internationally acclaimed musical offers romantics of all ages the chance to try on the glass slipper and help Cinderella find her happily-ever-after. “A brilliant Gilbert and Sullivan parody!” raves LA PARENT. “Truly imaginative and entertaining, this play has all its spark plugs firing.”

After a sell-out three-week holiday engagement, CINDERELLA is back by audience demand for a limited engagement. The Santa Monica Playhouse production sees the original Cinderella and Prince Charming (Cydne Moore and James Cooper), “graduating” to the roles of zealously well-meaning Stepmother Arabella and lovingly befuddled King Isgood, joined by Actors’ Repertory Theatre members Celeste Akiki and Juliet Ladines as the very silly step sisters, Serena Dolinsky as a brand new Cinderella, and Garett Stevens essaying the double role of Kerwin, the King’s shy Valet and handsome Prince Asgood.

Added delights are the outrageously playful period costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, the singing and dancing woodland creatures crafted by The Attic Room and the heart-warming romance that blooms with the assistance of a glass slipper, a magic wand, and the audience’s eager intervention. “Cinderella delivers fairy tale enchantment, visual wonderment and flashing humor in a top-quality production,” hails PONY RIDE. Birthday and Tea Parties, hosted by a favorite fairy tale character from the show, are available in conjunction with every performance. “A delight for the entire family!” L.A. SPLASH. Treat your family to the most romantic event of the year and live happily ever after.

“100% SWEET!” (Bitter Lemons). And the raves keep coming. It’s Lisa Phillips Visca’s critically acclaimed romantic comedy – a true story about a “moonstruck” couple’s forbidden love and the hilarity and drama from their deeply passionate Italian-Greek families – EXTENDED for three weeks only. You’ll laugh…You’ll cry…You’ll never forget this spellbinding true true-love story, “…as timeless as romance itself.” (LA Weekly) Do you believe in love at first sight? Soul mates?

Eternal love? When the final curtain falls, you’ll believe. “Highly Recommended!” exclaims reviewplays.com. “An exceptional cast and outstanding production!” raves American Radio Network. “A must see!” hails Beverly Hills Publishing. Critical acclaim is echoed by mega-celebrities Martin Short (“An unforgettable love story with humor and heart!”) and Betty White (“A poetic, witty true love story that sweets you away with its passion! The cast shines!”)

Come to Staten Island circa 1950, where Daphne Theofanous and Louis Padula meet, fall in love, and struggle to balance their love of family, and each other, fighting against the older generation and parents still anchored in traditional ethnic, nationalistic, economic and religious divisions – divisions that mirror the uncertainty of today’s political and economic times where the younger generation, more than sixty years later, is still fighting to fulfill their dreams, and to share their lives with a partner of their own choosing. “Raise Me Up will lift your spirits and touch your soul. I know it touched mine,” says Tolucan Times. We know it will touch yours, too.

Written by Lisa Phillips Visca (Sophia; Turning Thirty & More than a Pretty Face; Climax) and helmed by internationally acclaimed director Chris DeCarlo (Arnold Schulman’s Sleeping Ugly; Jerry Mayer’s Aspirin & Elephants; Robert B Parker and Stephen King’s RAGE), RAISE ME UP features stage and screen personalities Marla Adams (The Young and the Restless), John Del Regno (Joan of Arcadia), Serena Dolinsky (Love in Bloom), Ben Feuer (Murder by the Book), Mitch Lerner (40 Days and Nights), Michael Marinaccio (Tony ’n’ Tina’s Wedding), Lenora May (Confessions of a Shopaholic; Mistresses on ABC, Scandal), Stuart Pankin (Not Necessarily the News; Fatal Attraction; The Artist; Desperate Housewives), Evelyn Rudie (Funny, You Don’t Look Like A Grandmother), and Joey Shea (One Life to Live).

Pika pi, pika pika pika pi. Translation: The Pokémusical is coming to Hollywood this June.

This heartfelt satire played its first run in Berea, OH this spring and will now receive its West Coast premiere June 10, 2013 at the Elephant Space of Theatre Asylum as part of the 2013 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

With an original book and lyrics by Alex Syiek, plus brand new music by Andrew L. Cooper, The Pokémusical will be staged by Joanna Syiek with musical direction by Jennifer Lin.
The musical follows the first journey of Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu and the rest of the crew from the original games and anime as they traverse Kanto, this time with song and dance in tow. Exploring what it truly means to be the very best, The Pokémusical delves into the everyman journey through the eyes of a 10 year old boy with a dream. A story that reminds us all that good things come to those that take life by the Pokéballs.

The Pokémusical opens on June 10 at 10PM with performances most Fridays, Saturdays and Wednesday evenings through June 28.

We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as South-West Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884-1915 — The West Coast premiere of Jackie Sibblies Drury’s brave, chilling and very funny new work about a group of actors who lose control of their play and discover some startling hidden truths. What could possibly go wrong when a group of eager young amateur actors attempt to dramatize the first genocide of the 20th century? “Simultaneously funny and disturbing, this is one of the best shows of the year.” — Flavorpill.

“I was inspired by my own inability to write something meaningful about the Herero-Namaqua Genocide,” said playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury, who learned about the extermination of the African tribe while researching race politics in Germany. “So I tried to write a play where the characters fail to do the same thing. I hope that they fail in a way that allows people who see the play to feel something, to be entertained and think at the same time, and to have really good conversations after the show.”

“Not too many people know about this moment in history, but I think it was the first uninterrupted, factory approach to organized ethnic cleansing,” notes director Jillian Armenante.

The Los Angeles premiere of Peter Sinn Nachtrieb’s madcap comedy exploring the American mythology of happiness and success. Born on Valentine’s Day in the bathroom of a White Castle in Kentucky, Bob is left to fend for himself by his birth mother, Helen. Determined to make his mark in the world, armed with nothing but an unfailing optimism, Bob takes off on a sweeping cross-country journey. Along the way, he encounters inspiring generosity, crushing hardships, blissful happiness, stunning coincidences, wrong turns, lucky breaks, true love and heartbreaking loss. Will Bob’s real life ever be able to live up to his dream?

Originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory, BOB received the 2010 Barrie and Bernice Stavis Award from the National Theatre Conference. It premiered at the Humana Festival for New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville in March 2011. According to Nachtrieb, BOB is “a social satire that roasts the American dream, and celebrates its detritus.”

“Bob is fast, ribald and plays like a house afire, while at the same time being very Zen,” says Echo artistic director Chris Fields. “Bob goes on this incredible trek in his quest to become a ‘great’ man, to create his legacy. He suffers all this heartbreak and pain, but in the end all he has to do is look in the mirror. We are all ‘great.’ We just don’t always know it.”

The Fountain Theatre and Forever Flamenco! present an all-star line-up of local, national and international artists to celebrate founder Deborah Lawlor’s 20-year dedication to producing, nurturing and broadening the flamenco community in Los Angeles.

Since 1990, the dancers, musicians and singers of Forever Flamenco! have been delighting Fountain Theatre audiences with the intensity, precision and exhilaration for which flamenco is known. Now Forever Flamenco! returns to the outdoor stage at the Ford Theatres with this passionate expression of Spanish culture in a tribute to Lawlor.

“Forever Flamenco! was born out of Deborah’s love and total immersion into flamenco,” says internationally renowned flamenco dancer Maria Bermudez. “Young dancers, up-and-coming dancers, seasoned professionals and international dancers – all of us have all come through Forever Flamenco! at the Fountain. I took my first baby steps there.”

The gala evening brings some of the finest international, national and local flamenco artists together on stage for the first time, including dancers Fanny Ara, Maria Bermudez, Alejandro Granados (from Spain), Manuel Gutierrrez, Timo Nuñez, Linda Vega and Yaelisa; singer/dancer Roberto Amaral; singers José Cortez, Ana de los Reyes (from Spain) and Jesus Montoya; singer/composer Pele de los Reyes (from Spain) of the Grammy®-nominated group Navajita Platea; guitarists Adam del Monte, Jason Maguire, Antonio Triana and Ben Woods; and percussionist Joey Heredia. Watch for more surprise artists, as well as a few guests from Bermudez’ flamenco puro company Sonidos Gitanos, which has been presented at the Ford by Lawlor and the Fountain eight times since 1995.

“L.A.’s BEST comedians” exclaims LA Magazine. “The pair regales audiences with original tunes and sketches about gangsta waitresses, bikini waxes and the art of stiffing hobos. With or without the bikini wax, they’re a scream!” raves LA WEEKLY of Carlie and Doni, the irreverent musical/comedy duo whose show, “Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner present Carlie and Doni help Save the Playhouse” played to a sell-out crowd at Santa Monica Playhouse in 2011. Now they back by popular demand, detouring from their sell-out college tour for one night only with an all-new musical comedy exxxtravaganza!

Rated R for strong language. CARLIE Mantilla & DONI Carley are two best friends who met in 2005 at Los Angeles Community College Theater Academy. They quickly realized it wasn’t for them and dropped out. Carlie moved in with Doni and they decided to form a musical/comedy act, writing silly songs and sketches on their own time. One day in 2007, Carlie’s mom convinced Carlie to sign them up for an open mic at the Comedy Store. They weren’t sure how their straight girl/lesbian musical duo would go over. It went better than they expected.

Over the last five years they have developed that seven-minute audition into a one-hour comedy musical/comedy extravaganza. Carlie & Doni recently performed at The Comedy Festival in San Francisco. They are regulars at Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, were the Headline attractions at The Improv, and created their first commercial for Toyota, writing and performing a song they wrote called “My First Ride.” Carlie & Doni also wrote the titular song and appear as troubadours in the comedy film, “When Harry Tries to Marry.” Carlie & Doni have a strong following among many of their peers including the preeminent comedian, Lily Tomlin. Produced by Your Mom’s Production and Rocco Urbisci.

Inspired by astronaut Lisa Nowak’s 2007 arrest for the attempted murder of a romantic rival, Starcrosser’s Cut is an inner-space detective story, a cassette symphony in the tradition of Krapp’s Last Tape, and an indictment of the nihilism of the US Space Program.

Based loosely on the real-life transcript of Nowak’s police interview after her arrest, a character known only as “Lisa” listens back to the tape, re-enacts her interview with the detective, and attempts to re-record it all. Through a labyrinth of tape edits and revisions within revisions, the play takes an unflinching look at the “crimes that are ours to do” – those beyond guilt. From jail cell to Space Shuttle, the mystery that emerges is not whether Lisa did it – it’s whether a crime can cease to be a crime, or can cease to be entirely.
