World Premiere

A Korean American poet in love is hired by a technology think tank to put the "art" in artificial intelligence. When the robot creation falls in love with the human creator, it's man-made versus mankind with sometimes comic and sometimes tragic results.

HE ASKED FOR IT

In an era when HIV hides from sight behind the closet door... In an era where the emotional AIDS cocktail of love, sex and death pours forth in a dark ride though Internet chat rooms, Hollywood back rooms and nightclub bathrooms... How far will you go for love? How much will you forgive? Would you be willing to infect yourself or others in exchange for a sense of belonging?

In HE ASKED FOR IT, award-winning playwright Erik Patterson and director Neil Weiss strike a startling balance between comedy and tragedy as the characters navigate the casual thrills of one-night stands and the difficult sacrifices of true love.

Young Ted is an actor from a small town in Wyoming and, like tens of thousands before him, he just arrived in Los Angeles hoping to become the next big thing on the silver screen. While it's a journey that happens every day of every month in Los Angeles, Ted's story is far from the typical Hollywood tale. In Erik Patterson's controversial new play, He Asked for It, the young actor becomes emotionally entrenched in the world of bugchasing and giftgiving.  

Sacred Fools' late-night serial sensation!

Each week, three continuing stories face off against two new tales.

At the end of the show, you vote for the three stories that you would like to see continue on to next Saturday night, where their subsequent episodes will then be pitted against two completely new storylines.

Each week's serials could live on for weeks... or be quietly smothered in their sleep – it’s up to you. But whichever pieces you vote for, one thing is for certain - by the end of the evening, you will be a Serial killer.

THIS WEEK'S SERIALS! / READ A REVIEW!

From writer Padraic Duffy and composer Bobby Stapf comes the world premiere musical based on the smash hit late night serial! Director Scott Leggett is back to lead Bunny, Beaver, Neville, and all your favorite characters in a brand new story.

Follow the story of Bunny and Beaver as they search for love and acceptance in an intolerant world. Celebrating down-home American music, from Bluegrass to Honky-tonk to Southern Rock, and everything in between, Beaverquest! takes the audience on a wonderfully absurd and comedic venture into the forest, replete with misguided communications, wacky villagers, and of course, a beaver hunt.

"...audaciously original... suggests what might result if the Dixie Chicks channeled William S. Burroughs while Ren and Stimpy stole Willie Nelson's stash... could become a toothsome cult hit." –L.A. TIMES (RECOMMENDED)

"...undeniably entrancing... the gay-rights answer to Animal Farm." - L.A. WEEKLY (GO)

Fafalo is a fairy tale for adults about a most unlikely candidate who is crowned king in the mythical kingdom of Galliandra. Using colorful Balinese masks and huge, spectacular puppets to conjure up the excitement and comedy of the circus, Ziggurat Theatre Ensemble creates a vibrant, topsy-turvy world that's as astonishing as it is hilarious. Fafalo is appropriate for adults and kids over the age of 8.

Fully masked throughout the play, six ensemble members - John Achorn, Julia Emelin, Anna Heinl, Li-Ann Lim, Jon Monastero and David Valdez - perform 18 roles in Fafalo. Custom-made masks have been commissioned from Bali, from master mask-maker Nyoman Setiawan.

Fafalo is led by director and playwright Stephen Legawiec, and the mask and movement coach is Dana Wieluns

"Mask is not part of the American popular theater tradition, and audiences rarely get to see fully masked productions by local companies," comments Dana Wieluns. "Mask work is physically and creatively demanding for actors because actors must use their entire bodies to make the mask come alive."

Christmas Eve, 1944. Biz Billingham's Radio Revue tours with the troops through the recently recovered regions of France. Perhaps a little too close to enemy lines.
