Trump in Space, winner of the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore! Producer’s Award, returns for a run of Friday nights at The Second City Hollywood Studio Theatre. The book and lyrics are by Gillian Bellinger and Landon Kirksey with music by Tony Gonzalez and Sam Johnides. Frank Caeti is the director.

8pm FRIDAY NIGHTS ONLY!

Trump in Space is Star Trek meets Avenue Q meets Trump, a musical battle of good vs. bad and ideals vs. opportunism. This original musical is an epic space adventure filled with all the sci–fi tropes we love and all the politics we love to hate. Four hundred years in the future, the fallout of the Trump administration has left humans stranded without a planet. Captain Natasha Trump, a direct descendant of President Donald J. Trump, races to find humanity a new planet because the earth blew up!

Said Shari Barrett of BroadwayWorld.com, “Laughs abound with each farcical situation based on political satire to the max – with great ensemble harmonies throughout.” Trump in Space proudly occupies a spot on the StageRaw.com Top Ten.

Running time is one hour.

The cast includes Gillian Bellinger, Landon Kirksey, Mary Lou, Scott Palmason, Nicole Pellegrino, Joy Reguilano, Jessie Sherman, Jim Shipley, and Rob Warner.

World Premiere Comedy SHOWPONY by Judith Leora

When the mostly, white employees from a large Ad Agency, reveal their unconscious racism through slips of the tongue and gender micro-aggressions, the tensions build as aggressions move into overt racism and misogyny. Both African American and white women fight back. Hidden agendas, alliances and liaisons rise to the surface—in both fierce and fiercely funny ways.

In SHOWPONY five working women come to some real understanding of their separate cultures, through their common womanhood.

“As soon as I read this play, I knew the Victory wanted to produce it,” says director Tom Ormeny. “The wit and ambitions of the women who are trying to break through the glass ceiling and out of the daily prejudices need support. I want audience members to relate to these characters and to start conversations about these issues. We need that now. We need to be able to talk to each other. We need to be able to laugh.”

The creative team for Unemployed Elephants includes set designer Evan Bartoletti, lighting designer Carol Doehring, sound designer David Duarte, costume designer Lauri Fitzsimmons, graphic designer Jennifer Logan and photographer Tim Sullens. The dramaturg is Gail Bryson, the stage manager is Jennifer Brown, and Maria Gobetti, Tom Ormeny, and Katie Witkowski produce for The Victory Theatre Center.

Opens September 28, 2018
previews take place on September 21, 22 and 23.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 4pm

Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes opens 2018-19 season at Antaeus with director Cameron Watson at the helm.

Hellman was one of the American theater’s most provocative and masterful playwrights, and her work continues to exert a captivating hold on American culture. The Little Foxes reveals Hellman’s unrivaled ability to create some of the meatiest roles in the modern canon. Set in the Deep South in 1900, this modern classic is a dark tale of greed, deceit and betrayal about the scheming Hubbards and their single-minded pursuit of wealth; in this family, the only thing that runs thicker than blood is cold, hard cash. Regina Hubbard Giddens (Puette) and her conniving brothers, Oscar (Nagle) and Ben (McShane), plan to get rich from a cotton mill, but first they must tap into the wealth of Regina’s sickly husband, Horace (DeMita). When Horace refuses to give them the money they need, a vicious circle of intrigue, lying and cruelty spirals out of control, tearing the family apart.

Kristin Couture, John DeMita, Judy Louise Johnson, Mike McShane, Rob Nagle, Calvin Picou, Deborah Puette,Jocelyn Towne, Timothy Adam Venable and William L. Warren star.

“We were struck by how timely Lillian Hellman’s tale was to the current state of the world,” suggest Antaeus co-artistic directors Bill Brochtrup, Rob Nagle and Kitty Swink. “We are thrilled to have Cameron Watson helm this epic Southern tale, with his exquisite taste, deep understanding of human nature and fearless commitment to exploring the dark side of family.”

Performances of The Little Foxes begin on Thursday, Oct. 25, with performances taking place thereafter on Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. andMondays at 8 p.m., through Dec. 10. Six preview performances take place Oct. 18 through Oct. 24.

The Woman Who Went to Space as a Man: a new experimental play with songs about the secret life of writer Alice B. Sheldon,  co-produced by Son of Semele

Written and Directed by Maureen Huskey

Part fact, part fever dream, and part musical, this captivating new work opens with Alice B. Sheldon – better known to sci-fi aficionados as author James Tiptree, Jr. – contemplating suicide. Dodging in and out of reality, the play, with a bold musical score, investigates gender, longing and creativity as self-exploration through one of the Science Fiction world’s greatest literary tricksters. Sheldon was most notable for breaking down the barriers between writing perceived as inherently ‘male’ or ‘female’ and it was not publicly known until 1977 that Tiptree was, in fact, a woman.

Music by Yuval Ron
Music Directed by Richard An
Starring Kamar Elliott, Anneliese Euler, James Ferrero, Emma Zakes Green, Betsy Moore, Nathan Nonhoff, Robert Paterno, Isabella Ramacciotti, Paula Rebelo, Megan Rippey, Ashley Steed, Alex Wells

The Woman Who Went to Space as a Man has universal and topical resonance as it deals directly with the repression of women, of gender/sexual orientation, depression and the search for hope. It also brings science fiction — a form that was long marginalized — to the center stage and shows how Alice B. Sheldon used science fiction to address issues that plague humanity such as genocide, ecocide and racism. The play experiments with form, episodic storytelling, shifting time and vacillating between inner and outer realities. It is interwoven with one of Tiptree’s short stories to frame the telling of Sheldon’s life.

Maureen Huskey writes, adapts and directs for theater and opera. She began her career in New York City collaborating with avant-garde artists in NYC’s thriving downtown experimental theater world. Now based in Pasadena CA, her directed stage works have been presented in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vienna, Austria, and Vancouver. She has received a Princess Grace Honoraria Award, a Bessie Award (NYC), and her shows have received nominations from the NAACP and OVATION AWARDS among other accolades. Huskey has received numerous grant awards and residencies for her work including the Creative Capital Award and the Voice & Vision’s ENVISION grant for women artists (NYC). She co-founded Red Dive, a vanguard company in the site-specific and immersive theater movement in NYC which she directed until 2006. She holds a BA in Theater and Communications from Western State Colorado University, a Diploma in Dramatic Playwriting with Merit from the University of Kent at Canterbury, England as a Rotary Scholar, and a MFA in Theater Direction from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Huskey has taught and guest directed at CalArts, College of the Canyons and Long Beach State University.

MOVING ARTS is thrilled to announce the Los Angeles production of the Joint World Premiere, presented by Moving Arts at Atwater Village Theatre in association with Moxie Theatre of San Diego and Promethean Theatre of Chicago, “BLISS (or Emily Post is Dead!)” by Jami Brandli, directed by Darin Anthony

It’s 1960 and America is in the midst of a civil upheaval. But in North Orange, NJ, an immaculate suburb with all the trappings of a prosperous, modern society: afternoon tea parties, electronic appliances, and JELL-O!, “Progress and Science” are the buzzwords of the day. In this farcical, domestic tragicomedy, the classical Greek heroines, Clytemnestra and Medea, have been recast as pill-popping housewives, and Antigone is the lovelorn, teenage girl next door. Their “blissful” lives are upended when Cassandra, a colored girl new to town and cursed with the gift of prophecy, arrives with a mind to free them from their dark destinies.

The cast of BLISS (or Emily Post is Dead!) will feature: Ann Noble, Jacqueline Misaye, Becca Gordon, Jasmine St. Clair and Andrew Carter.

BLISS (or Emily Post is Dead!) will preview on Thursday, November 1 & Friday, November 2 at 8pm; will open on Saturday, November 3 at 8:00pm and will run Fridays, Saturdays & Mondays at 8:00pm; Sundays at 2:00pm (with an additional performance on Tuesday, November 27 at 8pm).

The Moss Hart & Kitty Carlisle Hart New Play Initiative  ‘Silver Medallion’ winners, Suzanne Bradbeer’s Confederates and Wendy Graf’s Exit Wounds, are playing in repertory at GTC Burbank, and vying to win an off-Broadway premiere at NYC’s 59E59 Theaters next spring.

Hart NPI artistic director Christopher Hart will direct both plays.

The Moss Hart & Kitty Carlisle Hart New Play Initiative is unique because it offers writers fully staged productions on both coasts for a truly national impact. Out of 1,243 submitted scripts, four were selected as Bronze winners and received readings last summer at 59E59 Theaters in New York. Of those, Confederates and Exit Wounds were selected to receive full productions at Grove Theater Center, and one will return to premiere at 59E59 next year.

The Los Angeles premiere of Confederates is an often funny, often devastating look at today’s high stakes political media landscape. Melissa R. Randel (original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line, co-chair of Theater Arts at Glendale Community College) stars as a seasoned, embedded reporter on the road with a newly declared presidential candidate. When her young and ambitious colleague (Daryl C. Brown – Master Harold…and the Boys at Portland Stage Company, recurring roles on Days of our Lives and The Young and the Restless) uncovers a compromising photo of the candidate’s teenage daughter (Miranda Lichtman, a recent graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts), the two must decide whether to publish or bury it. Confederates was workshopped at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto and at the Lark Play Development Center and LAByrinth Theatre Company in New York City before receiving its world premiere at TheatreWorks in a production that was nominated for seven Bay Area Critics Circle awards; the play was also nominated for the 2016 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the L. Arnold Weissberger Award, and it received honorable mentions from the Kilroys two years in a row. TheSan Francisco Chronicle called it “part comedy, part thriller and part morality play.”

The world premiere of Wendy Graf’s Exit Wounds explores the effects of a national tragedy on three generations of the perpetrator’s family. How do you find redemption when someone you love has committed a terrible crime? A story of healing, hope and compassion, Exit Wounds unravels slowly, as a mystery: what was the tragic event that caused hoarder Linda Sadowski (Suanne Spoke, seen in Athol Fugard’s The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek at the Fountain, recurring roles on General Hospital and Switched at Birth, and films including Whiplash and upcoming festival award-winner Wild Prairie Rose) to retreat from life, and her son, Matt (Marshall McCabe – Showpony and Graf’s Unemployed Elephants at the Victory) to become estranged? How can Linda stem the ripple effect of the family’s painful past and save the 17-year-old grandson (Dor Gvirtsman –The Chosen at the Fountain) she’s never met?

Confederates by Suzanne Bradbeer opens on Friday, Nov. 9, and Exit Wounds byWendy Graf opens on Friday, Nov. 16, with both plays running in repertory. To find a schedule of which play performs when, visit www.hartnpi.org. Preview performances take place on Sunday Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. (Confederates), and on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. (Exit Wounds).

In A Mile in My Shoes, we meet Ester, an omniscient “shoe whisperer,” as she walks us through a day in her life on Skid Row. We meet a variety of characters: a transgender teen, a young mom, a mentally ill substance abuser, a high school valedictorian, a police officer, concerned citizens at a city council meeting and others as they put a face on the homeless epidemic.

Truly theatre with a conscience, acclaimed actress Kathryn Taylor Smith blends drama, comedy and poetry in her portrayal of 16 characters inspired by research and personal interviews with past and present members of the homeless community in L.A. as well as those who advocate for them. Helmed by accomplished director Zadia Ife, this socially relevant piece speaks to the audience from a raw, uncensored, unapologetic perspective, compelling us to do more, to be better and to act kinder to our homeless brethren, not because they are homeless, but because we are all human.

DATES AND TIMES:

November 4 to December 9

Sundays at 3 p.m.

Season 22 at the Sacred Fools Theater Company continues with the world premiere comedy The Value of Moscow by Amy Dellagiarino and directed by Carrie Keranen.

Three grown “adult” sisters are thrust back into living together as a last resort after their various lives have fallen apart. This trio can’t even agree on how to unpack their stuff much less their relationships and pasts. And before they can finish the bottle of vodka they found in the kitchen, everything goes from bad to worse, to a lot, LOT worse. Can they set aside their grievances long enough to work together and save themselves? Probably not. But with acerbic wit and an encounter with the pizza man, these three sisters aim to find out.

After receiving her BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Playwright Amy Dellagiarino returned to her native Chicago before eventually making her way to Los Angeles.

Company as part of the Festival of Magical Realism.

Are you living your true self? Filled with philosophie de la vie, humor, and heartache I Am Sophie is a journey of identity. The audience becomes the confidante to Sophie Carter, formerly known as Kate Carter. When she returns to the United States after living in Paris, she has become a changed woman. Now home, to take care of her father, her loved ones meet Sophie for the first time. What follows is an existential adventure. Sophie has us all wondering, am I who I think I am?

Finding our voice and power within this human experience is ultimately what matters the most, say director Susan Angelo. I hope this piece becomes an inspiration to the people who see it, and perhaps sparks their inner Sophie.”

“Down to My Last Egg” by Remy O’Brien.

Theatre 40 in Beverly Hills welcomes Remy O’Brien’s hilariously heartwarming one-woman show “Down to My Last Egg”, which premiered at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

When Remy’s window to become a mother started to close, she hit the road in search of a sperm daddy. Once she found him, getting pregnant proved to be even more slippery than his sperm. Her thoughts, ideas and actions around motherhood, and what it entails, left her with one question – Is she meant to be a mother?

Did she conceive or did her last egg shrivel up and die? You’ll have to see the show to find out.

Remy O’Brien is the writer-performer. Her other stage credits include Questa, The Sun Always Shines for the Cool, and Flowers Out of Season, as well as stand-up and sketch comedy in the Chicago comedy scene.

“Clarissant”

by Hailey Bachrach

Camelot has fallen.

The heroes of the Round Table are dead and gone.  The divided kingdoms turn to a reclusive princess in the barren islands of northern Scotland, the last survivor of the royal line, to take power and to lead Britain out of darkness.  Her name is Clarissant.  Her mother, Morgause, was King Arthur’s sister and a wicked sorceress whose power continues to choke Camelot from beyond the grave.  Rather than wear the crown offered to her, Clarissant uses the magic of her ancestors to try desperately to bring back the golden days when her brothers lived to serve the great King Arthur.  Is it truly her destiny to rule Britain?  Or the final step in her mother’s curse?
