OC-centric returns in August with productions of four outstanding new plays by Orange County dramatists, featuring the talents of skilled actors and directors from across the Los Angeles & Orange County theatre scenes.
Full-Length Plays
The God-Shaped Hole by Abbe Levine (Orange) - As she moves in with her dying mom, 34-year-old Jane searches for something to believe in – sampling this and that faith indecisively, all in an effort to fill the empty place in her heart. But it is only after meeting Nico, a 14-year-old atheist taking her world history class, that Jane manages to ground herself. Where will the feelings between them lead? Dir. Neal Kowalsky.
Skirt by Julie Tosh (Irvine) - After a tragic accident disables Bethany Gallagher's brother Del, he is all her teachers talk about ... so she wears a short skirt to school to change the subject, unwittingly unleashing a competition for dominance between her biology teacher and the new student teacher who was once her brother's best friend. As the story unfolds, we learn who among them is actually fit to survive. Developed at the Playwrights Center in Minneapolis, Skirt was a co-runner-up for the David Mark Cohen Award at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Dir. Tamiko Washington.
One-Act Plays
Les Hollywood Hills by Andrea Sloan Pink (Irvine) – Juliette, a UCLA film student, takes a job caring for Ralph, an ailing, acerbic set decorator living in the Hollywood Hills. She doesn’t know that the experience will change her forever, and open her eyes to the true meaning of art and life. Dir. Stephen John.
The Sound of Silence by Travis Snyder-Eaton (Stanton) – A play about love and love lost, with the first half performed like a silent film and the second half performed with dialogue. Robert, a Keaton-esque character, falls in love with Anna, the woman of his dreams right as America enters World War II. Pearl Harbor is bombed, Robert is drafted ... and the world is no longer the same. Will they ever see each other again? A story that says silence is golden, but love is pure. Dir. Doug Oliphant.
