Playwrights Jeremy Kehoe and Paul Elliott bring their back-to-back one-act comedy play showcase to Hollywood's Lounge Theatre. Kehoe (Killing Russell Crowe, Ready, Aim, Fire) gets the street-themed show in gear with his Car Play: She & Him. In it, two lonely motorists -- one a severely depressed woman, the other an aspiring drunk of a man -- collide on an dreary Monday morning, sending the pair on a comedic collision course. Elliott's Ledge, Ledger and the Legend takes a decidedly higher-up view of street-level -- from the perspective of Peter, a man on a ledge, who doesn't really want to commit suicide but soon realizes that his friend J.M. maybe isn't going to try to stop him after all.

World of Theater Explored in The Fool and the Red Queen

Full Price:: $25.00
Our Price:: $12.50

In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

Description

Playwrights Jeremy Kehoe and Paul Elliott have teamed up to showcase back-to-back one-act comedies in Talkin’ It to the Streets at the Lounge Theatre in Hollywood. Come prepared to laugh your bloomin’ onion off.

Kehoe, whose Los Angeles productions include Killing Russell Crowe and Ready, Aim, You’re Fired, puts the street-themed show in gear with Car Play: She & Him. Car Play tells the tale of two middle-of-the-road castaways navigating pothole-laden lives. In the lead is Jill, whose ability to suck the color from a rainbow has pushed her therapist off the psychological ledge and left her flying solo in an overcrowded world. Tailgating her is Greg, whose inability to scratch his existential itch has left him looking for answers at the oracle of Gin and Tonic (much to the chagrin of his aspiring-actor bartender, Vinny). With a Monday-morning drizzle icing their lives, Greg presses the accelerator of change, sending the two on a collision course for a partly cloudy future.

The production moves up a few flights with Elliott’s Ledge, Ledger and the Legend, recently listed as one of the 25 most produced one-act plays in the last 20 years. When Peter climbed out on that ledge to commit suicide, he thought J.M. was trying to stop him. Wrong! Who knew Suicide could be so much fun?
