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).
