Description
Artistic Directors Mark Governor and Janet Roston launch Los Angeles Rock Opera Company, with a night of music and mayhem featuring The Who's rock operetta, A Quick One While He’s Away, described by Pete Townshend as "the father of Tommy"; Perseus at the Oki Dog, a re-setting of the Greek myth in the '80s Los Angeles underground scene with music by L.A. punk bands from the decade; More Alive Than Dead, a work in progress by Lisbeth Scott that follows six characters whose struggles with modern life intertwine; and 15 Minutes of shAme, an abridged version of LAROC's original work based on The Scarlet Letter. Push Play will also feature a live band with members of X, the Germs, and the Stripminers providing the soundtrack for most of the evening.
