Less Than Two Weeks!

That's right.

There are less than 2 weeks left till both THE EXILE OF PETIE DELARGE opens at Son of Semele Theater and HYPERBOLE: origins opens as a part of the Hollywood Fringe at Art/Works.

I admit it, I feel like a proud parent. I've been to rehearsals for both shows and they look fan-freakin'-tastic.

"EXILE" has sex, drugs, rock, crazy masks... and french fries.  It features the acting talents of Erica Bitton, Julian Evens, Alexandra Kustin, Jiehae Park, Liam Springthorpe & Anne Yatco, and design by Kit Stolen, E.M. Gimenez & Bryan Yu.

"EXILE" opens Friday, June 18th at 8 pm, and runs Saturday, June 19th at 2 pm & 8 pm, Friday, June 25th at 8 pm, and Saturday, June 26th at 2 pm & 8 pm.  Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here.

Son of Semele Theater is located at 3301 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004.

"HYPERBOLE" is the latest creation of award-winning Rogue Artists Ensemble, and they've opened up their process to me as Co-Producer.  "HYPERBOLE" explores a bunch of different origin stories, things that are personal to things that are mythological, with masks, puppets, video and other quirky tech gadgets.  And there are sperm puppets, you've got to see them.

"HYPERBOLE" will be running for TWO PREVIEWS ONLY Sunday, June 20th at 4 pm & 8 pm as a part of the first annual Hollywood Fringe.  Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here.

Art/Works is located at 6567-6585 Santa Monica Boulevard Hollywood, CA 90038.

See you at the shows!  -- Liz E

Announcing Performance Dates for The Exile of Petie DeLarge

Mark your calendars!  The Exile of Petie DeLarge is going into its workshop phase this month!

I couldn't be more pleased on the cast and creative team I've assembled (keep your eyes on this blog for a formal announcement of the cast list soon).

A Collection of Shiny Objects, otherwise known as my little upstart company of one, has entered into partnership with Son of Semele Ensemble through their developmental "SOSEhost" initiative.  We will be presenting workshop presentations of this all new play-with-music June 18, 19, 25 & 26 at SOSE's Silvelake theater at 3301 Beverly Blvd Los Angeles 90004.

Inspired by the iconic novels A Clockwork Orange, The Lord of the Flies and Peter Pan, tells a story of youthful rebellion, lost innocence and dark moral questions.  It features live sound and recorded music, mask and movement work, puppeted objects... and french fries. 

You don't want to miss this show.  I don't want you to miss out on this show.  Son of Semele is a small theater, and we're only doing 6 performances.  Get your tickets here now.

I also continue to be accepting donations to get this project completed.  The goal is in sight, but I am still greatful for all and any support.  If you'd like your name in the program and my serious gratitude please click the button below.
