Rogue Machine presents the West Coast Premiere of
Miss Lilly Gets Boned
Written by Bekah Brunstetter / Directed by Robin Larsen

Sex, faith, and violence are all part of this intricate package of connections in Miss Lilly Gets Boned. Bekah Brunstetter imaginatively explores the tenuous and permeable boundaries that separate our civilized side from our more animalistic one, and the ways that faith can limit or uplift humanity. While a captive elephant grows ever more anxious in chains, a virginal Sunday school teacher takes a big chance, by opening her heart to the dangers of love.

Bekah Brunstetter is a Los Angeles based playwright. Her plays include: The Cake (Echo Theater Company, Manhattan Theater Club, Spring 2019), Going to a Place where you Already Are (South Coast Repertory), The Oregon Trail (Portland Center Stage, Flying V), Cutie and Bear, A Long and Happy Life, Be A Good Little Widow (Ars Nova), and Oohrah! (The Atlantic Theater, Steppenwolf Garage, the Finborough Theater / London). Bekah is currently working on a musical adaptation of The Notebook with music and lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson. She wrote for the first three seasons of NBC’s This is Us. Bekah is an alumna of the CTG Writers Group, Primary Stages Writers Group, Ars Nova Play Group, The Playwright’s Realm, and the Women’s Project Lab.

Director Robin Larsen returns to Rogue Machine where she is a founding member, having directed two of the company’s early hits, the West Coast premiere of Joel Drake Johnson’s Four Places (Ovation, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, and Backstage Garland awards for Best Production), and the Los Angeles premiere of Blackbird (LA Times Best of the Decade).

Award-winning cast includes Tasha Ames, Brady Amaya, Kavi Ladnier, Larisa Oleynik, Reza Safai, Justice Quinn, Rachel Caselli and Amir Levi.
