When a couple suffers a tragic accident, their grief propels them into a fantastical world where the Tooth Fairy sings, their flight attendant is a cross dresser and GI Joe offers family counseling. It's a lyrically absurd journey of love, loss and laughter. Jenny Schwartz's play is directed by Rory Kozoll and features Troy Blendell, Paul Caramagno, Alana Dietze, Andrea Grano, Tara Karsian, Amanda Saunders and Jeremy Lee Shranko. God's Ear was a finalist for the 2007 Susan Smith Blackburn Award. Learn More

Description
<p>Writer/Director/Producer Del Shores (Queer as Folk, Sordid Lives, Dharma & Greg), one of Los Angeles’ most prolific playwrights, revives his critically acclaimed play Sordid Lives.</p> <p>Shores’ plays are some of the most honored productions in Los Angeles Theater, with over 75 awards, from the LADCC, Ovation, Backstage West Garland, LA Weekly, NAACP and GLAAD. He will again direct the new productions, which are currently being cast. A Season of Shores will be produced by Del Shores and Jason Dottley (The Best of Del for Sharyn, An Intimate Evening with Debby Holiday), with lighting designer Kathi O'Donohue (Biloxi Blues, After the Fall), musical director Joe Patrick Ward (Composer/Lyricist of Judy’s Scary Little Christmas and The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife), and set designer Robert Steinberg (Oliver!, A Streetcar Named Desire).</p> <p>Sordid Lives, his fourth play, opened in Los Angeles in 1996 and ran for 13 sold-out months. The critics raved -- ultimately 13 of them awarding the production “Critic’s Choice.” F. Kathleen Foley of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Sordid Lives has more laughs than a hunting dog has ticks. Del Shores is a master of the Texas comedy." The play went on to win 14 Drama-Logue Theatre Awards, including three for Shores for writing, directing and producing.</p> <p>In 1999, Shores wrote and directed the film version of Sordid Lives starring Beau Bridges , Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John, Bonnie Bedelia, Leslie Jordan, Beth Grant, along with most of the cast from the play. The movie quickly become a cult phenomenon, with Ivor Davis of The New York Times Syndicate calling it: “The most delicious combination of emotion and laugh out loud hilarity to come along in the new Millennium...The Birdcage meets the Bible Belt--and the result is the most hilarious comedy of the year.” The movie won many festival awards, including Best Film at the New York Independent Film & Video Festival, Atlanta Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival, Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival, South Beach Film Festival, Memphis International Film Festival and the San Diego International Film Festival and racked up a total of thirteen “Audience Awards.” In 2002 Twentieth Century Fox released the DVD/Video, which has now sold over 200,000 units. </p> <p>Note: Emmy Nominee Leslie Jordan (Will and Grace) reprises his performance of Brother Boy on August 8, 9 and 10. </p>
