Trump in Space, winner of the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore! Producer’s Award, extends again, playing 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! Final extension thru August 16!

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.

The Victory Theatre Center is proud to present the world premiere of The End of Sex by Gay Walch, directed by Maria Gobetti.

It’s Nancy’s birthday. Her daughter and son-in-law come to take the parents out to celebrate. But when new desires and old frustrations collide over dinner, all four slide into a tense standoff as Nancy questions her own collusion with the sexual agreements and power dynamics within her own marriage.

Using cutting humor and venturing into tricky territory, The End of Sex wrestles with how sexual behavior encourages and creates power arrangements – even in consensual relations.

Sara Botsford heads the cast with Tom Ormeny, Austin Highsmith (returning to the Victory after Resolving Hedda), Chad Coe (returning to the Victory after Resolving Hedda) and Lianna Liew.

The creative team includes set designer Evan Bartoletti, lighting designer Carol Doehring, sound designer Noah Andrade, costume designer Lauri Fitzsimmons, graphic designer Jennifer Logan, and photographer Tim Sullens. The dramaturg is Gail Bryson, and Maria Gobetti and Gabriel Ormeny produce for The Victory Theatre Center.

Coeurage Theatre Company, LA’s Pay What You Want theatre company, has announced the first production of its 10th Anniversary season, the Los Angeles premiere of Samsara by Lauren Yee, directed by Rebecca Wear.

In Samsara, Katie and Craig are having a baby—via a surrogate—who lives in India. A month before the baby’s due date, Craig reluctantly travels to the subcontinent where he meets Suraiya, their young, less-than-thrilled surrogate. As all three parents anxiously await the baby’s birth, flights of fancy attack them from all sides. Of Samsara, the Chicago Tribune said, “Genuinely moving … with a laudable awareness of how we sometimes only get one shot at happiness of escape.”

The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Aarón Alonso, Joe Calarco, Nardeep Khurmi, Katie Pelensky, and Pooja Shah. Alternate cast members are (in alphabetical order) Delia Baseman, Zach Brown, Pranshu Mishra, and Andy Stokan. Scenic design is by Amanda Knehans, lighting design is by Matt Johns, costume design is by Vicki Conrad, and sound design is by Dean Harada. The assistant director isJosie Osegueda, and Jhani Randhawa serves as dramaturg. Prop designer is Jer Adrianne Lelliott and the production stage managers are Courtney Rhodes and Edward Khris Fernandez.

Garry Marshall Theatre presents the Tony-winning Broadway play Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill by Lanie Robertson, starring Deidrie Henry as Billie Holiday.

The director is Gregg T. Daniel and playing Jimmy Powers is musical director Abdul Hamid Royal.

The time is 1959, a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday’s last performances, given four months before her death. More than a dozen musical numbers — including “What a Moonlight Can Do,” “Crazy He Calls Me,” “Easy Living,” Strange Fruit,” “Taint Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do,” and “God Bless the Child” — are interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music.

“In my imagination,” says playwright Lanie Robertson, “(Billie Holiday) enters, doesn’t know where she is, sees the microphone, and knows she’s supposed to sing. Once she starts singing, the music is like an injection of heroin. By the time she finishes, she knows where she is and what she has to do.” Late in life, Holiday could still bring the house to silence.  The New York Times said, “The quiet usually held, as one of the great singers of the last century turned jazz songs and standards into searching, and searing, portraits of life and love gone wrong that cast a shimmering spell.”

Playing Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 3 pm.

FOR THIS PRODUCTION, running for 15 performances only, there will be LIMITED ON-STAGE SEATING. This VIP experience will include a complimentary bottle of wine or champagne, served right at your table for two! Reserve your seats NOW. Must be 21+ to access ON STAGE seating.

A love letter to those who shape our lives, hold us together and break our hearts. IAMA Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Mama Metal, a joyfully irreverent black comedy by 2017 Humanitas Play LA award-winner Sigrid Gilmer that entwines issues of identity with pop culture icons to tell a truly unique mother-daughter story. Deena Selenow directs for a May 23 opening at Atwater Village Theatre, where performances will continue through June 23. Low-priced previews begin May 17.

Sterling Milburn’s mother is dying, and Sterling is falling apart. She tries to control her mounting panic by rewriting the past, which she does with the help of Demonic Afterbirth, “the world’s greatest heavy metal band.” Also there to mentor Sterling are two titans of the American Theatre, Eugene O’Neill and Tennessee Williams, whose Long Days Journey into Night and The Glass Menagerie may be two of the world’s most iconic “mama dramas.” But when Mom refuses to follow the script and begins her own revision of their history, Sterling must learn to drop the stories and let Mom go.

According to Gilmer, Mama Metal unfolds like a dream — a loosely autobiographical, heightened and exaggerated reflection of her relationship with own her mother, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease five years ago. “The play is about three things that framed who I am today, the ‘pillars of me’: my mom, heavy metal music and the American theater,” she explains.

Mama Metal takes place in a concert venue setting, backed by a heavy metal soundtrack — all created by an award-winning team of scenic, lighting and sound designers.

Mama Metal opens on Thursday, May 23 at 8 p.m., with performances thereafter taking place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. through June 23. Three preview performances take place May 17 through May 19 on the same schedule. All tickets are $35, except May 23 (opening night) for which tickets are $40 and include a post performance reception, and previews, which are $20. Atwater Village Theatre is located at 3269 Casitas Ave in Los Angeles, CA 90039. Parking is free in the Atwater Xing lot one block south of the theater. For reservations and information, call 323-380-8843 or go to www.iamatheatre.com.

IAMA Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Mama Metal, a joyfully irreverent black comedy by Sigrid Gilmer that entwines issues of identity with pop culture icons to tell a truly unique mother-daughter story. Deena Selenow directs.

This joyfully irreverent black comedy by 2017 Humanitas Play LA award-winner Sigrid Gilmer entwines issues of identity with pop culture icons to tell a truly unique mother-daughter story. Sterling Milburn’s mother is dying and Sterling is falling apart. She attempts to keep it together by rewriting the past with the help of two titans of the American theater and the world’s greatest heavy metal band — but Sterling’s mother refuses to follow the script. A love letter to those who shape our lives, hold us together and break our hearts.

Starring Cesar Cipriano, Chris Gardner, Courtney Sauls, Lee Sherman, Graham Sibley, Christian Telesmar, Rodney To, Jamie Wollrab.

Sigrid Gilmer makes black comedies that are historically bent, totally perverse, joyfully irreverent and concerned with issues of identity, pop culture and contemporary American society. Sigrid burst onto the national theater scene with her play Harry and the Thief, an action film/historical/time travel play about a thief who is blackmailed into traveling back in time to deliver a cache of arms to Harriet Tubman. It has since been produced across the country, including runs at the Pavement Group (Chicago), Know Theatre (Cincinnati), and Skylight Theatre (L.A.). Additional select works include Slavey (Clubbed Thumb), Seed: A Weird Act of Faith, It’s All Bueno (Cornerstone Theater Company), Frilly and White 3: Manifestdestinyland. Her television work includes: A Series of Unfortunate Events  (Netflix) and Claws (TNT). Sigrid earned her MFA in Writing for Performance at Cal Arts, where she was mentored by Suzan-Lori Parks. She resides in Los Angeles.

Mama Metal opens on Thursday, May 23 at 8 p.m., with performances thereafter taking place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. Three preview performances take place May 17 through May 19.
