‘Wendy’s Peter Pan’ brings
Neverland to life at Theatricum
Calling all young-at-heart: Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum has transformed its uniquely beautiful outdoor amphitheater into the imaginary isle of Neverland for a magical production of Wendy’s Peter Pan. Theatricum artistic director Ellen Geer directs her “retelling” of the 1904 play by J.M. Barrie, with performances running June 22 through October 4.
“This beloved, classic fairytale of a boy who refuses to grow up was written 120 years ago,” notes Geer. “Like Shakespeare, the adventures in Neverland will remain in our vocabulary and hearts forever. May our next generation never lose the innocence of belief in other worlds and other ways.”
All the familiar characters are present as now grown-up Wendy (Willow Geer) recounts her marvelous childhood adventure to her own children. The tale comes to life on Theatricum’s wooded stage as Wendy recalls how she and her brothers (Quinnlyn Scheppner as young Wendy, Jaz Bennassar as John, Julius Geer-Polin as Michael) flew off to Neverland with Peter Pan (Gabrielle Beauvais), cared for the Lost Boys (Cole Dechant, Emelie Dechant, Asher Edwards, Logan Filippi, Luther Geer-Polin, Schroeder Shelby-Szyszk, Aster Laine Smith, Georgiana Swanson, Aralyn Clare Wilson, Elliott Grey Wilson), and crossed paths with Tiger Lily (Ianthe Marini), a mermaid (Robyn Cohen), Captain Hook (Lynn Robert Berg), the pirates (Hunter James, Craig “Linc” Lincoln, John Ellsworth Phillips, Kevin Rauch, Adam Roberts, Sky Wahl) and, of course… Tinkerbell.
The creative team includes composer and musical arranger Marshall McDaniel, choreographer Lexi Pearl, and fight choreographer Cavin (CR) Mohrhardt. Costume design is by Tracy Wahl, lighting design is by Zach Moore, and sound design is by Grant Escandón. Ian Geatz is the prop master and Beth Eslick is the wardrobe supervisor. The assistant director is Hannah Froman. The production stage manager is Kim Cameron, assisted by Alex Penner.
Wendy’s Peter Pan will run in rotation every weekend with Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, each of which open earlier in the season. Upcoming, productions of Tartuffe: Born Again, translated and adapted from Molière by Freyda Thomas, and The Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/
Other events taking place at Theatricum this season include comedy improv with Theatricum’s resident troupe Off the Grid at the end of each month (June 28, July 25, Aug. 30, Sept. 26); the Under the Oaks salon series on Fridays in September, and Theatricum’s fourth annual Holiday Family Faire on Saturday, Dec. 14.
Theatricum Botanicum has been named “One of the 50 Coolest Places in Los Angeles” by Buzz magazine, “One of Southern California’s most beguiling theater experiences” by Sunset magazine, and “Best Theater in the Woods” by the LA Weekly. “The enchantment of a midsummer night at Theatricum Botanicum [makes it] crystal clear why audiences have been driving up into the hills since Theatricum’s maiden season way back in 1973. Summer Shakespeare doesn’t get any better than this,” writes StageSceneLA. Says Los Angeles magazine, “The amphitheater feels like a Lilliputian Hollywood Bowl, with pre-show picnics and puffy seat cushions, yet we were close enough to see the stitching on the performers costumes. Grab a blanket and a bottle and head for the hills.” In 2017, Theatricum was named “one of the best outdoor theaters around the world” by the Daily Beast.
Theatricum’s beginnings can be traced to the early 1950s when Will Geer, a victim of the McCarthy era Hollywood blacklist (before he became known as the beloved Grandpa on The Waltons), opened a theater for blacklisted actors and folk singers on his property in Topanga. Friends such as Ford Rainey, Della Reese, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie joined him on the dirt stage for vigorous performances and inspired grassroots activism, while the audiences sat on railroad ties. Today, two outdoor amphitheaters are situated in the natural canyon ravine, where audiences are able to relax and enjoy the wilderness during an afternoon or evening’s performance. Theatricum’s main stage amphitheater sports a new and improved sun shade for increased audience comfort, installed with support from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Ahmamson Foundation. Theatricum is the recipient of multiple awards, including the Margaret Harford Award for “sustained excellence,” which is the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle’s highest honor.
Wendy’s Peter Pan opens on Saturday, June 22 at 7:30 p.m. and continues to run in repertory through October 4. For a complete schedule of performances, scroll all the way down or visit the website. Tickets range from $15 to $48; premium seating is available for $60. Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available for the performance on Friday, July 26, which will also feature a prologue (pre-show discussion) from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The amphitheater is terraced into the hillside, so audience members are advised to dress casually (warmly for evenings) and bring cushions for bench seating. Patrons are welcome to arrive early to picnic in the gardens before a performance.
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum is located at 1419 North Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Topanga, midway between Malibu and the San Fernando Valley. Please note: Topanga Canyon Blvd is currently closed between the theater and PCH; to access Theatricum from the Valley, exit the 101 at Topanga Canyon Blvd. South.

‘Tartuffe: Born Again’ is hilarious, modern–day
adaptation of Molière at Theatricum
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents a hilarious satire about greed, corruption and hypocrisy. In Tartuffe: Born Again, translator and adaptor Freyda Thomas puts a contemporary spin on the original French play, recasting Molière’s Tartuffe as a deposed televangelist who takes advantage of his naïve and gullible host to rook him and his family of their money. Performances run July 13 through October 13 at Theatricum’s beautiful outdoor venue in Topanga.
Moliere’s legendary comedic characters are wonderfully at home in this present day version, which is set in a religious television studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and written wholly in delightful modern verse. David DeSantos (last seen at Theatricum as Coriolanus) headlines in the title role, while Lynn Robert Berg (concurrently appearing as Captain Hook on the same stage in Wendy’s Peter Pan) stars as Orgon. Michelle Jasso (now on Theatricum’s stage as Emelia in The Winter’s Tale) plays Elmire; Jon Sprik (Richard III in last season’s War of the Roses) portrays Damis; Jonathan Blandino (multiple appearances at Theatricum, including Oberon in last summer’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) plays Cleante; Cynthia Kania (most recently seen at Theatricum in War of the Roses) is Mrs. Pernell; and Isabel Stallings (also starring as Helena in this season’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) is Maryann opposite Ethan Haslam (Theatricum’s The Merry Wives of Windsor and Trouble the Water) as Valere. Also in the cast are company members Blaire Battle, Ted Dane, Shoshanna Green, Rebecca Oca-Nussbaum, Sky Wahl and Timothy Willard. The production is directed by Melora Marshall.
“How do you stop an invasive, cultish worm who uses lies of Biblical proportions to wind his way into your family life, your town, your city… your country?” asks Theatricum artistic director Ellen Geer. “Through the brilliant storytelling of Molière and Freyda Thomas’s clever adaptation in rhyming couplets, we watch a Southern family in the 1980s begin to recognize a taker in their midst. Hilarious mayhem ensues as they recognize the danger, rise up and remove the culprit.”
Set and props are by Ian Geatz, lighting is by Hayden Kirschbaum and costumes are by Vicki Conrad. Music is compiled and arranged by Kellen McDaniel and Marshall McDaniel, with sound design by Grant Escandón. Berber Heerema is the assistant director. Beth Eslick is the wardrobe supervisor and Amayah Watson is the assistant stage manager. The production stage manager is Karen Osborne.
Tartuffe: Born Again will run in rotation every weekend with The Winter’s Tale, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Wendy’s Peter Pan, each of which open earlier in the season. Upcoming, The Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/

Tensions Erupt in
GOD OF CARNAGE
at the 905 Cole Theatre
Thunderbird Garage Productions is thrilled to announce their inaugural production, Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage, will open September 13th in Los Angeles. Hoping to resolve the situation amicably, two married couples meet to discuss a violent altercation between their young sons. But as conflicting personalities and parenting styles collide, the polite facades unravel, revealing marital tensions and opposing life philosophies. God of Carnage is directed by Kim Quinn and will run for five weeks at the 905 Cole Theatre in Hollywood.
About the Show
God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, is a tragicomedy about two sets of parents who meet to discuss a physical altercation between their eleven-year-old sons. Initially cordial and respectful, the mood shifts, as discordant parenting styles, the burdens of marriage, and opposing philosophies of life are examined. Intelligently written with razor sharp wit and hilarity, God of Carnage is a searing look at relationships, parenthood, communication styles in the face of disagreement, and what happens when the masks we wear to hide our true identities come off. This production of God of Carnage was birthed when four friends who met in Larry Moss acting workshops decided to read the play during Covid. After months of continuing to work on the characters, and positive feedback from guests after an intimate reading of the play, the decision was made to put it on stage for LA audiences! “We felt these universal themes are as, if not more, important today than when the play was first produced,” says Kristian Kordula. “If the hope of an artist is to engender thought, conversation, and change, while also delivering an entertaining night of theater, then God of Carnage is our perfect vessel.”

Show Info
In light of recent legislation heavily restricting access to abortion care across the country, The Taylor Studio, in Burbank, CA is set to house the World Premiere of a powerful new stage production: “A Fundamental Right to Choose.”
Written and directed by Jennifer Taylor, the production aims to shed light on the mass impact the reversal of Roe vs. Wade has had on the American public – with a heavy emphasis on the effect it’s had on women’s reproductive rights, their healthcare, and their everyday lives.
Told through a series of connected vignettes, the play follows the stories of six different women, from six different states where abortion is now deemed illegal. Each of the women is faced with a dire need for abortion care, but are unable to obtain one due to the various challenges and obstacles presented by the legislation of their respective states. Audiences are taken on an emotional journey that explores the complexities and nuances of choice, autonomy, and the fatal consequences of restrictive legislation.
Featuring a talented cast of actors, including Delante Desouza of HBO’s Emmy Nominated series Winning Time & Eugenia Kuzmina of Universal’s Bad Moms, “A Fundamental Right to Choose” promises to engage and challenge audiences to consider the implications of constrained abortion laws. The production is a call to action for communities to stand up for women’s rights and advocate for access to safe and legal abortion.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this important and impactful play. Tickets are now available for performances running from Sept 13th to Oct 19th 2024 at Living-Truthfully Theatre at The Taylor Studio.

Living-Truthfully Theatre is an intimate theatre located in Burbank, CA. Dedicated to producing thought-provoking and socially relevant works, and is committed to fostering dialogue and promoting positive change through the arts.

BOSTON COURT PASADENA PRESENTS THE WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION OF A GOING AWAY PARTY PLAY
Boston Court Pasadena opens the world premiere production of A Going Away Party Play, written by Keyanna Khatiblou and directed by James Fowler on Saturday, September 28.
A Going Away Party Play is a celebration of multicultural identities and an exploration of what it means to leave or lose your home country. The story centers on Mina, who is throwing a party for her closest friends – and the audience. Over the course of the party, the friends play games, reflect on the current American socio-political landscape, and discover truths about the story of Mina’s parents falling in love and staying in love while fleeing the Iranian Revolution.
A Going Away Party Play features scenic design by Stephen Gifford, costume design by Mylette Nora, lighting design by Gavan Wyrick, sound design by John Nobori, and properties design by Cindy Campos. The production is supported by production stage manager Camella Coopilton, dramaturg Adrian Centeno, casting director Julia Flores, cultural consultant Dr. Mehdi Faraji, and dialect coach Keri Safran.
Artistic Director Jessica Kubzansky says, “We are so excited to share this play with the world. Keyanna had moved to Los Angeles just six months prior to when she submitted the play to us through our Los Angeles Playwrights Open Submission Window, and when we read it, the entire artistic team knew we needed to program it in the 2022 New Play Reading Festival. And as the reading concluded, we all turned to each other and said, ‘we just found our next full production.’”
Director James Fowler first met Khatiblou in 2022 when Boston Court asked him to direct the New Play Reading Festival reading at BCP. The partnership was so exciting that two years later, he is back to direct the full production.
Fowler says, “Keyanna’s play is a love letter to this current generation. A mash-up of scenes that focus on multiculturalism, identity, and love. I am grateful to be trusted with a work of such thoughtful depth and intentionality. The joy I have working with this creative team and cast is beyond my wildest imaginings!”
Kubzansky adds, “Full of humor and delicious social commentary, Keyanna’s play is so powerfully speaking to our world today. It’s speaking to the complexity of what it means to be an immigrant in the United States right now, what it’s like to leave or lose your home country, and how we constantly have to define what home means…”

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIES START BAKING FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
AT LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS!
LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS & McCOY RIGBY ENTERTAINMENT are thrilled to open its 2024-2025 season with the Southern California regional theatre premiere of the hit Broadway musical, WAITRESS, with book by Jessie Nelson, music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles (based upon the motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly), musical direction by Jennifer Lin, choreography by Cost n’ Mayor, and direction by Abbey O’Brien. WAITRESS will preview on Friday, September 20 at 8 pm & Saturday, September 21 at 2 pm, have its official Press Opening on Saturday, September 21 at 8 pm, and run through Sunday, October 13, 2024 at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, 14900 La Mirada Blvd in La Mirada.
Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts which mirror her topsy-turvy life, such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying run-in with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness. Featuring music and lyrics by GRAMMY® Award winner, Sara Bareilles (“Love Song,” “Brave”), this hit musical is a little slice of Broadway heaven!

Blood/Love also had a sold-out concert version in January 2024 at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre in New York City.
About Blood/Love
Vampires are ever-present in pop culture especially as the days get shorter: think Interview with the Vampire, The Twilight Saga, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Shadows, Dracula, and The Vampire Diaries.
Fans of vampires (and who isn’t?) will want to see this new incarnation, Blood/Love, that speaks as much to human nature as it does to the sultry glamorous lives of the undead. It tells the haunting tale of Valerie Bloodlove (Carey Sharpe), who has lived hundreds of lives across thousands of years. Satan’s former queen, the original vampire, she is condemned to wander Earth for eternity — living in the shadows and forced to survive off of the very humans she has longed to live among.
Valerie’s immortal life feels empty, even as her draconian companions, Cleo (Erin Boehme) and Demetrius (Cam Anthony), attempt to rekindle her desires to thirst and lust — and to remind her of the joys of being immortal.
On the brink of despair, Valerie has a chance encounter with mortal superstar Anzick (Brennin Hunt), who reignites her will to carry on. However, she learns he has his own deal with the devil: in exchange for his eternal soul, he was bestowed with supernatural musical talent, complete with success and stardom. Valerie finds a kindred spirit and a motivation to carry on – but is now forced to choose between love and survival, drawn to someone who also bears the burden of a wish turned into a curse.
Writer and producer Carey Sharpe said to Broadwayworld, “Everybody loves vampires. They’re always popular: they’re sexy, they’re cool. And they are ultimately human, or they at least were human. This is about when the conundrums of life are enlarged by having to negotiate a life going on forever — the amplification of human nature.”
“A pact with the devil takes on a new dimension – giving these creatures plenty to sing about, now influenced with pop and rock genres. It turns out that the emotional life for vampires is not much different than for those of us with shorter life spans — and the action and score were influenced by goings on in our personal lives, during COVID lockdown when we were creating Blood/Love.”
“The story then all fits together because it was really driven by songs about our feelings at the time. For example, ‘Dead to Me’ is basically a fight between two best friends that have been friends for eternity because they are vampires, the breakdown of their relationship with betrayal, anger and hurt. But it’s not of a romantic nature, it’s just their friendship and how painful that can be.”

‘Heading Into Night: A clown play about… [forgetting]’
gets West Coast premiere at Odyssey Theatre
Cirque du Soleil clown Daniel Passer and award-winning director Beth F. Milles bring a clown ode to loss and remembrance to the Odyssey Theatre stage, exploring the unexpected humor and discoveries to be found in the loss of memory, and deeply honoring the experience of people whose memories are fading. The West Coast premiere of Heading Into Night: A clown play about… [forgetting] will run October 5 through November 17 at the Odyssey’s venue in West L.A., with two preview performances on Thursday, Oct. 3 and Friday, Oct. 4.
Longtime collaborators, Milles and Passer devised and developed this interactive piece as an investigation into the work being done at kinder, gentler care dementia villages based on Hogeweyk, an eldercare facility in the Netherlands where people facing cognitive loss are nurtured in a community. Preparing for the work, the two delved into cognitive science research about repetition, connecting the mental looping characteristic of cognitive loss with clowning and commedia dell’arte theater.
“Clowning is often built on repetition, so this seemed a very organic connection,” says Milles. “There is nothing less certain than not knowing. And there is a mystical, tenuous fragility in the state of losing one’s place, as well as an audacious power in just ‘being.’ This work is focused on the joy of rediscovery. Daniel and I want to be adventurers, to explore ways to give to our community each time we create a work.”
Heading Into Night premiered at The Cherry Arts in Ithaca, New York, where Milles is a member of the acting and directing faculty at Cornell University. As a director and theater creator, she specializes in new and devised work investigating the comic impulse. Milles has directed on Broadway and at theaters around the country, including award-winning productions with the celebrated Actors Gang in Los Angeles. Last season, she directed Iva Brdar’s And if I don’t behave then what at Open Fist Theatre Company.
“Looking through the lens of a clown, and bringing a sense of joy and childlike innocence to the theme of memory, has been a rich landscape to explore,” says Passer, who has been a clown and comedy conceptor for Cirque du Soleil and Dragone Entertainment for over a decade; has taught commedia, clown and improvisation at Moscow Art Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Brown University, Harvard, Cornell; and is currently on faculty and associate director of performance at CalArts. “I love collaborating with Beth and dreaming up the impossible and striving to bring it to life.”
Joining Passer on stage at the Odyssey are actor Peter Mark and musician Redfield Clipper Mills.
The creative team includes costume designer Márion Talán de la Rosa; lighting designer Russell Champa; projection designer Gabrieal Griego; technical consultant Pierre Clavel; and graphics designer Luba Lukova. The stage manager is Bella Peters. Beth Hogan produces for Odyssey Theatre Ensemble.
Performances of Heading Into Night take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. from October 5 through November 17. There will be two additional weeknight performances, on Wednesday, Oct. 16 and Wednesday, Nov. 6, each at 8 p.m.: Two previews take place on Thursday, Oct. 4 and Friday, Oct. 5, both at 8 p.m. Post-performance discussions are scheduled on Wednesday, Oct. 16 and Friday, Nov. 1. The third Friday of every month is “Wine Night”: enjoy complimentary wine and snacks and mingle with the cast after the show.
Tickets to performances range from $20 to $40 on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Performances on Fridays are Pay-What-You-Can (reservations open online and at the door starting at 5:30 p.m.). The Odyssey Theatre is located at 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., West Los Angeles, 90025

Secreta Teatro present ‘A Girl Grows Wings’
Latino Theater Company and Mexico’s Organización Secreta Teatro present the U.S. premiere of A Girl Grows Wings. Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in the company’s Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, this unique work by Chicana playwright Marisela Treviño Orta premiered earlier this year in an interdisciplinary production developed and devised by Mexico City’s Organización Secreta Teatro, directed by artistic director Rocío Carrillio. That production now makes its way back to Latino Theater Company for a two-week run, October 12 through Oct. 20 at The Los Angeles Theatre Center in downtown L.A. (Following its initial two-week run, A Girl Grows Wings will see additional performances as part of Latino Theater Company’s upcoming Encuentro 2024 Latino/a/x theater festival, set to take place October 24 through November 10.)
Inspired by testimonials and essays written by young, undocumented immigrants known as “Dreamers,” A Girl Grows Wings poignantly depicts one girl’s journey as she navigates the fallout her status inflicts on her hopes and dreams. The daughter of undocumented immigrants who fled violence in their home country, Alma’s parents cross the border when she is just an infant. At the age of 18, Alma begins to navigate the world of possibility in the only country she’s ever called home. However, learning of her undocumented status presents new challenges and betrayals. Alma goes on a journey to reconnect with her fractured cultural identity and her familial roots. Triumphing over adversity, she grows her wings in a touchingly beautiful and imaginative style.
Organización Secreta Teatro is renowned for its interdisciplinary style that blends theater, dance, video art, sound design and live music. The ensemble includes Mercedes Olea, Beatriz Cabrera Tavares, Ernesto Lecuona, Alejandro Joan Camarena, Jonathan Ramos, Stefanie Izquierdo, Brisei Pérez Guerrero and Paula Bucio on percussion. The creative team includes set, costume and production designer Erika Gómez, and composer sound designer José Luis Esquivel. Video art is by Miriam Romero, mask and prop design are by Arturo Vega, and lighting design is by the production’s director, Rocío Carrillo.
Orta is an award-winning playwright who graduated from the Iowa Playwrights Workshop. Her work has been presented at Arizona Theater Company; Brava Theater; Kitchen Dog Theater; Milagro Theater in Portland, Oregon; Nashville Children’s Theatre; New Jersey Repertory Company; and at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
The Latino Theater Company is dedicated to providing a world-class arts center for those pursuing artistic excellence; a laboratory where both tradition and innovation are honored and honed; and a place where the convergence of people, cultures and ideas contribute to the future. Now in its 39th year, LTC has operated The Los Angeles Theatre Center, a landmark building in Downtown’s Historic Core, since 2006. Earlier this month, the company was honored with six Stage Raw awards for four different plays produced in 2023.
Organización Secreta Teatro, founded in 1991, is a Mexican company dedicated to the exploration of interdiscipline and myth as scenic poetics in a permanent laboratory. It develops theater committed to the issues of women, sexual diversity, migration and the need for community ethics. Interdiscipline, as a horizontal dialogue between theater, dance, video art, sound design and live music, is a fundamental part of the company’s imprint, which has earned it recognition inside and outside the country.

Ophelia’s Jump Presents The World Premiere of
Second Death of a Mad Wife by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos,
Directed by Beatrice Casagrán
October 12 through November 3, 2024
Ophelia’s Jump Productions (OJP) will present the world premiere of Second Death of a Mad Wife by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos and directed by Beatrice Casagrán. The production will be performed at Ophelia’s Jump, located at 2009 Porterfield Way, Suite I, in Upland, from October 12 through November 3, 2024.
This “wonderfully creepy and surreal ‘Northeastern Southern Gothic Noir” story brings another production to the OJP stage by this talented storyteller. Previous productions by McBurnett-Andronicos presented at Ophelia’s Jump include A Poison Squad of Whispering Women (2020) and The Hall of Final Ruin (2022). Producing Artistic Director Beatrice Casagrán explains the selection of Second Death for the OJP’s 2024 Season, “Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos is one of my favorite playwrights and people. She creates fantastical stories from historical nuggets. Her plays are populated by delightfully flawed, funny, weird characters with compelling and often dark motivations. Her talent in building darkly funny worlds rings all my bells!”
THE STORY: Whatever happened to Jack the Ripper’s wife? Bunny Maybrick began life in an opulent Alabama mansion and is ending it in a squalid shack full of cats in rural
Connecticut. She’s already given away most of her meager belongings, but the heavy contents of her soul are harder to leave behind. That is, until a local prep school boy, Theo Voss, becomes an accomplice in Bunny’s meandering, mad, death-bed confession that includes adultery, arsenic addiction, and murder.
Kelly McBurnett-Andronicos is a self-described “small town, American playwright raised in Alabama, New Mexico and West Texas. My aesthetic view is a fusion of Southern Appalachian and Southwest U.S. culture and heavily influenced by the literary genres of Magical Realism, Romanticism and Gothicism.” Her full-length plays include the Southern Gothic crime noir, To Tread Among Serpents (Off-Off Broadway production, Winner of the Southern Playwrights Competition, O’Neill Semi-finalist) and the dark comedy western, The Hall of Final Ruin (Stage Raw Los Angeles Playwriting Award, Renaissance Theaterworks Brink! Award, Great Plains Theatre Conference Finalist, Stowe Story Labs Finalist, Two-time Princess Grace Semi-finalist, BAPF Semi-finalist).
Other plays include A Poison Squad of Whispering Women (BAPF Finalist), Second Death of a Mad Wife, and Maria Rasputin in Spangleland as well as many 10-minute plays. Her short play, El Loro, El Gato Y El Espíritu Santo (or The Parrot, the Cat and the Holy Ghost) is published by YouthPLAYS.

“All These Women” by Melanie MacQueen.
Staged reading of a play.
When Woodrow Wilson arrived at the train station the day before his Inauguration in 1913, he found almost no people to greet him. A policeman told him, “They’re all at the Suffrage Parade”. That would be the first, but certainly not the last time, that President Wilson would find himself following or being followed by “all these women” pressing for Woman Suffrage in his Administration. Follow the drama of the last years of the battle for women to finally get the vote in America in this new play on a timeless subject – VOTING RIGHTS FOR ALL!
Directed by Melanie MacQueen.

About Blood/Love
Vampires are ever-present in pop culture especially as the days get shorter: think Interview with the Vampire, The Twilight Saga, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Shadows, Dracula, and The Vampire Diaries.
Fans of vampires (and who isn’t?) will want to see this new incarnation, Blood/Love, that speaks as much to human nature as it does to the sultry glamorous lives of the undead. It tells the haunting tale of Valerie Bloodlove (Carey Sharpe), who has lived hundreds of lives across thousands of years. Satan’s former queen, the original vampire, she is condemned to wander Earth for eternity — living in the shadows and forced to survive off of the very humans she has longed to live among.
Valerie’s immortal life feels empty, even as her draconian companions, Cleo (Erin Boehme) and Demetrius (Cam Anthony), attempt to rekindle her desires to thirst and lust — and to remind her of the joys of being immortal.
On the brink of despair, Valerie has a chance encounter with mortal superstar Anzick (Brennin Hunt), who reignites her will to carry on. However, she learns he has his own deal with the devil: in exchange for his eternal soul, he was bestowed with supernatural musical talent, complete with success and stardom. Valerie finds a kindred spirit and a motivation to carry on – but is now forced to choose between love and survival, drawn to someone who also bears the burden of a wish turned into a curse.
Writer and producer Carey Sharpe said to Broadwayworld, “Everybody loves vampires. They’re always popular: they’re sexy, they’re cool. And they are ultimately human, or they at least were human. This is about when the conundrums of life are enlarged by having to negotiate a life going on forever — the amplification of human nature.”
“A pact with the devil takes on a new dimension – giving these creatures plenty to sing about, now influenced with pop and rock genres. It turns out that the emotional life for vampires is not much different than for those of us with shorter life spans — and the action and score were influenced by goings on in our personal lives, during COVID lockdown when we were creating Blood/Love.”
“The story then all fits together because it was really driven by songs about our feelings at the time. For example, ‘Dead to Me’ is basically a fight between two best friends that have been friends for eternity because they are vampires, the breakdown of their relationship with betrayal, anger and hurt. But it’s not of a romantic nature, it’s just their friendship and how painful that can be.”

‘Heading Into Night: A clown play about… [forgetting]’
gets West Coast premiere at Odyssey Theatre
Cirque du Soleil clown Daniel Passer and award-winning director Beth F. Milles bring a clown ode to loss and remembrance to the Odyssey Theatre stage, exploring the unexpected humor and discoveries to be found in the loss of memory, and deeply honoring the experience of people whose memories are fading. The West Coast premiere of Heading Into Night: A clown play about… [forgetting] will run October 5 through November 17 at the Odyssey’s venue in West L.A., with two preview performances on Thursday, Oct. 3 and Friday, Oct. 4.
Longtime collaborators, Milles and Passer devised and developed this interactive piece as an investigation into the work being done at kinder, gentler care dementia villages based on Hogeweyk, an eldercare facility in the Netherlands where people facing cognitive loss are nurtured in a community. Preparing for the work, the two delved into cognitive science research about repetition, connecting the mental looping characteristic of cognitive loss with clowning and commedia dell’arte theater.
“Clowning is often built on repetition, so this seemed a very organic connection,” says Milles. “There is nothing less certain than not knowing. And there is a mystical, tenuous fragility in the state of losing one’s place, as well as an audacious power in just ‘being.’ This work is focused on the joy of rediscovery. Daniel and I want to be adventurers, to explore ways to give to our community each time we create a work.”
Heading Into Night premiered at The Cherry Arts in Ithaca, New York, where Milles is a member of the acting and directing faculty at Cornell University. As a director and theater creator, she specializes in new and devised work investigating the comic impulse. Milles has directed on Broadway and at theaters around the country, including award-winning productions with the celebrated Actors Gang in Los Angeles. Last season, she directed Iva Brdar’s And if I don’t behave then what at Open Fist Theatre Company.
“Looking through the lens of a clown, and bringing a sense of joy and childlike innocence to the theme of memory, has been a rich landscape to explore,” says Passer, who has been a clown and comedy conceptor for Cirque du Soleil and Dragone Entertainment for over a decade; has taught commedia, clown and improvisation at Moscow Art Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Brown University, Harvard, Cornell; and is currently on faculty and associate director of performance at CalArts. “I love collaborating with Beth and dreaming up the impossible and striving to bring it to life.”
Joining Passer on stage at the Odyssey are actor Peter Mark and musician Redfield Clipper Mills.
The creative team includes costume designer Márion Talán de la Rosa; lighting designer Russell Champa; projection designer Gabrieal Griego; technical consultant Pierre Clavel; and graphics designer Luba Lukova. The stage manager is Bella Peters. Beth Hogan produces for Odyssey Theatre Ensemble.
Performances of Heading Into Night take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. from October 5 through November 17. There will be two additional weeknight performances, on Wednesday, Oct. 16 and Wednesday, Nov. 6, each at 8 p.m.: Two previews take place on Thursday, Oct. 4 and Friday, Oct. 5, both at 8 p.m. Post-performance discussions are scheduled on Wednesday, Oct. 16 and Friday, Nov. 1. The third Friday of every month is “Wine Night”: enjoy complimentary wine and snacks and mingle with the cast after the show.
Tickets to performances range from $20 to $40 on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Performances on Fridays are Pay-What-You-Can (reservations open online and at the door starting at 5:30 p.m.). The Odyssey Theatre is located at 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., West Los Angeles, 90025

Ophelia’s Jump Productions (OJP) will present the world premiere of Second Death of a Mad Wife by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos and directed by Beatrice Casagrán. The production will be performed at Ophelia’s Jump, located at 2009 Porterfield Way, Suite I, in Upland, from October 12 through November 3, 2024.
This “wonderfully creepy and surreal ‘Northeastern Southern Gothic Noir” story brings another production to the OJP stage by this talented storyteller. Previous productions by McBurnett-Andronicos presented at Ophelia’s Jump include A Poison Squad of Whispering Women (2020) and The Hall of Final Ruin (2022). Producing Artistic Director Beatrice Casagrán explains the selection of Second Death for the OJP’s 2024 Season, “Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos is one of my favorite playwrights and people. She creates fantastical stories from historical nuggets. Her plays are populated by delightfully flawed, funny, weird characters with compelling and often dark motivations. Her talent in building darkly funny worlds rings all my bells!”
THE STORY: Whatever happened to Jack the Ripper’s wife? Bunny Maybrick began life in an opulent Alabama mansion and is ending it in a squalid shack full of cats in rural
Connecticut. She’s already given away most of her meager belongings, but the heavy contents of her soul are harder to leave behind. That is, until a local prep school boy, Theo Voss, becomes an accomplice in Bunny’s meandering, mad, death-bed confession that includes adultery, arsenic addiction, and murder.
Kelly McBurnett-Andronicos is a self-described “small town, American playwright raised in Alabama, New Mexico and West Texas. My aesthetic view is a fusion of Southern Appalachian and Southwest U.S. culture and heavily influenced by the literary genres of Magical Realism, Romanticism and Gothicism.” Her full-length plays include the Southern Gothic crime noir, To Tread Among Serpents (Off-Off Broadway production, Winner of the Southern Playwrights Competition, O’Neill Semi-finalist) and the dark comedy western, The Hall of Final Ruin (Stage Raw Los Angeles Playwriting Award, Renaissance Theaterworks Brink!

World premiere, family–friendly ‘The Girl Who Made
the Milky Way’ is based on Khoisan myth
Imagine Theatre in partnership with The Colony Theatre presents a world premiere, family-friendly theatrical experience inspired by a Khoisan myth. An original commission by Imagine Theatre, The Girl Who Made the Milky Way is written by acclaimed playwright June Carryl and directed by Imagine artistic director Armina LaManna. Five public performances will empower girls and transfix boys ages five and up from November 9 through November 17 at Burbank’s Colony Theatre. Nine additional weekday matinees are available for school field trips November 12 through November 22.
The Khoisan, an ancient ethnic group with a long and intriguing history, are believed to be the oldest human inhabitants of southern Africa. In the play, a young girl, Little Sister (Stakiah Lynn Washington), evolves from struggling with her place and duties among her people to embracing her uniqueness, voice, courage, and identity. Supported by a cast of archetypal characters in the form of animals, trees, mountains and spirits (Jamela Asha, Edward Hong, Max Lawrence, Carter Michael and Makha Mthembu), Little Sister braves the dangers of the African savanna and confronts the unfair expectations the world has of her because she is a girl. Not only does she help find her father by creating the stars of the night skies, but she also discovers her true self.
“When I heard of this South African folktale about a young girl inventing the stars, it resonated with me,” says LaManna. “It fits right in with Imagine’s mission to immerse young people in theater that is cross-cultural and celebratory of gender equity, diversity, and inclusivity. All Imagine Theatre productions are newly commissioned works and spotlight a female protagonist.”
Imagine Theatre has previously presented critically acclaimed productions of Warrior Queen Anahit the Brave, based on an Armenian fairytale, and The Tale of Turandot, a modern version of a fable, perhaps best known as Giacomo Puccini’s final opera, set in China. Both took place at The Colony Theatre and were directed by LaManna. The Girl Who Made the Milky Way marks the first time the two companies have joined together as co-producers.
The multiple award-winning creative team for The Girl who Made the Milky Way includes scenic designer Tom Buderwitz; costume designer Dianne K. Graebner; projections designer Gabrieal Griego; lighting designer Gavan Wyrick and sound designer Rebecca Kessin. The production stage manager is Elna Kordijan. Griego and LaManna produce for Imagine Theatre.
A professional Actors’ Equity company dedicated solely to producing original and relevant theater for young audiences in grades K through 5, Imagine Theatre strives to build an empathetic and inclusive society across cultures by immersing young people in theater that celebrates gender equity, diversity and civic engagement. The Colony Theatre strives to stimulate, inspire, illuminate and celebrate our common humanity through the shared experience of live, professional theater.
The Girl Who Made the Milky Way will receive five public performances on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 10 at 4 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, November 17 at 4 p.m. In addition, there will be nine student matinees available for school field trips on weekdays November 12 through November 22; interested educators should email [email protected] for more information.
Tickets to the public performances are $30 for adults and $20 for kids ages 5 to 12 (children under 5 not admitted) except opening night (Nov. 9), for which tickets are $50 and $30 and include a post-performance reception. Group and other discounts are also available.
The Colony Theatre is located in Burbank Town Center at 555 N 3rd St. Burbank, CA 91502. Parking is free in the attached Burbank Town Center parking structure. For more information and to purchase tickets, call (818) 649-9474 or go to imaginetheatreca.org

Penelope: A Lesson in Drowning
By Baylee Shlichtman
Penelope: A Lesson In Drowning is a prequel to The Odyssey, centering Penelope.
As an autistic Spartan princess, Penelope has her life figured out: she weaves tapestries on her loom, which helps quiet the raging waters inside her. She has a system in which she prevents any of her many suitors from winning her hand in marriage. Life is not exactly good, but it’s tolerable. But, after Penelope’s cousin and best friend, Helen, sends a new suitor her way, things get complicated. Odysseus seems different from the other suitors somehow. Different enough that she starts to question how much she really likes her life of safe routines: her daily routine, but also the routine cruelty of her controlling father, the Lord Icarius. Penelope must decide whether the chance of happiness is worth the risk of losing everything she knows. Will she overcome her fear of a love-like drowning and a drowning-like love? Or will she forever be stuck on dry land, safe, but alone?
