Framed as a courtroom drama, BEFORE A FALL is about the patriarch of a Southern Church suspected of molesting his granddaughter, the schoolteacher who tries to intercede, and the community that turns a blind eye. Moving back and forth in time and place, from courtroom to classroom to the little church in a barn, secrets that have kept a family locked together are slowly revealed. This play was a finalist for the GOLDBERG PRIZE in 2012.

Written by Phoebe Ventouras, Directed by Rich Pierre Louis, Music by Felix Ventouras. Known for her unique voice as a real lady lost in the real world, comedian Phoebe Ventouras follows up years of meaning to make a one-woman show with this disastrous attempt at a serious endeavor. Distracted by her need for and fear of perfection, a total lack of self-awareness, and the very crowd in front of her, Phoebe takes the audience on a wild jaunt that includes reading, sitting, watching, and a little song and dance.

WHORE LOGIC, By The Incredible, Edible, Akynos
June 11, 14, 15, 16, 17
Fringe Mainstage
6209 Santa Monica Blvd
$15 -“WHORE LOGIC” is a cutting-edge, tongue in cheek, crowd-participating, one woman burlesque show combined with spoken-word, and uncensored stories of a sexualized childhood and misguided sexuality plagued by patriarchy and a sexually repressed and intellectually retarded society. It’s naughty and nice, full of spice and vastly entertaining. The Incredible, Edible, Akynos artfully performs unique burlesque pieces (in various states of undress), punctuated by witty commentary and insight.
STRANDED by Fiona Lakeland
Monday 6/10 @ 8pm
Tuesday 6/11 @ 8:15pm
Tuesdays 6/18, 6/25 @ 8pm

and Saturday Nights 6/15, 6/22 @ 12:05am
Theatre of NOTE
1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90028
The world premiere of STRANDED emerged out of a collaboration between the three of us (Fiona Lakeland, Kimberly Connolly and Adrian LaTourelle), with the idea of taking inspiration from journals and writings of Sylvia Plath and Marilyn Monroe and allowing their imagery to underscore what would inevitably become STRANDED.
What we’ve learned through the writing and working of this piece is that love and hate can exist on the same plane. Coming on its own into a world that explores how Sexual Abuse affects Mental Health, STRANDED takes a deep look inside what we must sacrifice, and the prices we pay in an effort to protect ourselves from the reality of or experiences and our existence. STRANDED is what culminated from this collaboration.
Josh Hillinger says: “Intense and talented performances. Definitely worth it for the end. I left invigorated. Heavy subject matters, but overall very realistic presentations of traumatized young women trying to connect.”
With STRANDED our goal is speak for victims and survivors of Sexual Abuse, and to start the conversation on How Sexual Abuse affects Mental Health, and that it is OK and important to talk about.

Ask Flash Productions announces a special presentation of Blindsided, an inspiring new solo show, written and performed by Jeannette Rizzi. Blindsided is a personal journey through Jeannette’s early life in Alachua, Florida, where she was raised by a nun and a monk. The story touches on her struggles to overcome the shocking suicide of her beloved friend, Katie, a popular high school student with a seemingly bright future ahead of her.
Blindsided is a courageous, uninhibited account of a life with more than it’s fair share of challenges that is ultimately hopeful and uplifting. Jeannette never loses her ability to laugh at herself and find the hilarious side of her situation. Ultimately, she finds the one thing that always gives her the strength to cope: Love and belief in herself.
Written and Performed by Jeannette Rizzi, Directed by Elimu Nelson

KEENA UnBRANDED THE SOLO EXPERIENCE by Keena Ferguson

June 24th @ 7pm
June 26th @7pm and
June 30th @1pm
Theatre Asylum Elephant Stage
6322 Santa Monica Boulevard
Los Angeles, California 90038.
UNBRANDED, written and produced by Ferguson, is expressed in a non-linear way, its message to live out loud without accepting the stereotypical branding labels often administered to ones background, personality and success. Ferguson describes the production as “A moving picture of evolved moments in my life, allowing personal growth beyond limited expectations of what others may have perceived to be barriers. I’m coming out of the “branded” box and showing the world who I really am.”
Ferguson had wrestled with the “unbranded” concept and finally decided to showcase herself, in her own words. A clever idea to promote, what industry professionals really want to see in a performer: their TRUE self. Despite, pushing herself to full exposure, Ferguson says, “through this platform the audience will hopefully experience the true brand of the human self; connecting with people through commonality.”

Luna Noctiluca is an adapted remix of the story of Salomé based on the works of Oscar Wilde and Charles Mee. In this tale of love, lust, and power, Salomé performs the dance of the seven veils in exchange for a certain biblical prophet’s head on a silver platter. This retelling raises provocative questions about women and sex in society, and the nature of humanity. Like the moon that shines by night, is there light in our darkness?

One Drop of Love is a multimedia solo performance and documentary film by Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni. The performance and film incorporate filmed images, photographs, and animation to tell the story of how the notion of ‘race’ came to be in the U.S., and how it influences the narrator’s relationship with her father – a journey that takes audiences from the 1700s to the present, to cities all over the U.S. and to West and East Africa, where both father and daughter spent time in search of their ‘racial’ roots.
