El Mago Loco starring & created by Linzy Beltran, directed & co-devised by Natasha Mercado

Show Description

Making its 2025 debut as a Hollywood Fringe Scholarship Winner, El Mago Loco is a magician who only does what he knows: Latino magic tricks! But what happens when you show up (white, black, Asian-American, Brazilian?) and the audience isn’t 100% Latino? What follows is only una noche to prove his worth (magically, of course) and the discovery that true happiness in mediocrity is better than someone else’s (you!) version of success. Oh and yeah, he’s going to do that trick where he cuts someone in half (also you?).

Ticket Price: $15

Tickets go on sale on May 1!

Kittens by Annika Hoseth

Shirley, Jane, and Victoria are thrilled to have secured the best job for a young woman in 1968… they’re Kittens at the Pussy Cat Cub! They spend their nights wearing Kitten ears, a fluffy tail, and a tight bodysuit, serving the most powerful men in New York City. Their boss, Kitten Mother, reveals that Pussy Cat Inc. will release a magazine with one lucky Kitten posing on the cover. However, the girls begin to reconsider how perfect this job really is after discovering things aren’t quite as modern as they thought. Kittens is new musical with an all-female cast.

Directed by Rosie Corr and accompanied by Caleb Brunman

The year is 1804. Napoleon Bonaparte has just been crowned Emperor of France and he would really like his younger sister to behave like a good girl. Her new husband, Prince Camillo Borghese of Italy, would appreciate the same. Pauline has other ideas.

When Camillo commissions the renowned sculptor Antonio Canova to create a virginal statue of Pauline, she shocks the world by instead posing buck ass naked.

This play takes place at the party where the statue is unveiled.

At it’s heart, this is the story of men in power telling a woman what to do with her own body — and that woman tells them to f*** right off.

“So Baby” by Talisa Friedman

The struggle to get into a top college is real these days – the New York Times said 2024 was “Peak College Admissions Insanity.” But what happens after you’ve finally been accepted? 

Miri begins freshman year with big dreams for her college experience (read: boys and books), but she quickly finds herself caught between her two more “forceful” roommates. Jordyn is a powerful, or power-hungry, leader in the Black community; Roksana is a selfish aspiring model. As the tension in their dorm room bubbles over, the girls confront betrayal, heartache, and what it means to have power in this world.

So Baby is a world premiere play by Talisa Friedman, winner of the National Jewish Playwriting Competition. It is co-directed by Josie Andrews, whose experience as a USC film professor has given her quite the window into the messy world of college coeds, and Sierra Nutkevitch, who specializes in stories about complicated women…which definitely applies to the women in this play.
