Our 2009 Season

FACING EAST
By Carol Lynn Pearson
Los Angeles Premiere of a poignant new play about faith and family, diversity and love.
Ruth and Alex McCormick are an upstanding Mormon couple reeling from the suicide of their excommunicated son. Stuck between their faith and their new reality, as they meet their dead son's partner for the first time, they try to come to terms with their own inner demons and the love they lost. Facing East is a compelling and emotionally rich must-see story.
August 25 - September 20
BRIGHT IDEAS
By Eric Coble
How far would you go for your child? For Genevra and Joshua Bradley, the question is no longer hypothetical. Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting list to get into the Bright Ideas Early Childhood Development Academy. Josh and Gen are one fatal dinner party away from the ultimate success as parents: the right pre-school. You may never look at pre-school – or pesto - the same way again.
October 13 - November 8
SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD
Music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Songs for a New World does not tell one story; in fact, it tells a whole collection of stories. Says composer Jason Robert Brown of this riveting musical, “Its about one moment, its about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.“ audiences are transported from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue to meet a startling array of characters. These are the stories and characters of today, told with a driving, exquisitely crafted score running the gamut of today’s popular music.
February 17 - March 22, 2009
THE THREE PENNY OPERA
Music by: Kurt Weill
Book and Lyrics by: Bertolt Brecht
The Threepenny Opera takes audience on a spellbinding
tour through the seedy underworld of Victorian London.
Brecht and Weill's deliciously dark satire weaves
the stories of murderous con artists, mixed with the
innocent Polly Peachum and a revolutionary musical
score that boasts the classic, "Mack the Knife."
April 28 - May 24, 2009
IS HE DEAD?
By Mark Twain
Adapted by David Ives
The only comedy ever written by Mark Twain, yet not published until 2003, this hilarious new comedy focuses on Jean-Francois Millet, an impoverished young painter of genius, who with the help of his colleagues, stages his own death, as it is only the dead painters who achieve fame and fortune. Tom Sawyer was never this much fun.

I can do any event, party, birthday, etc...
Prices will be just be based on travel distance, location, and whether it's inside a house, club or building, or outdoors in a park, beach, or other natural setting.
I need the $$$. This has been an incredibly expensive month for me with the passing and burial of my father. I'm looking to make some quick money to cover some of the expenses I incurred.
So please ask and spread the word.
Love
