Theatre Unleashed offers TWO modern classics in rep!

current location: The Sherry

The ambitious company takes another bold step in just its second year, with Sarah Kane’s “4.48 Psychosis” and David Ives’ “All in the Timing” running side by side.

LOS ANGELES – Theatre Unleashed is excited to present Contemporary Constructions, its third and fourth Main Stage shows of the season, running in rep from Aug. 7-30 at The Sherry Theatre in North Hollywood. A celebration of two very distinct modern day playwright geniuses, Contemporary Constructions will feature Sarah Kane’s final poetic plunge into the depths of depression, 4.48 Psychosis, as well as David Ives’ comedy of the absurd, All in the Timing.

4.48 Psychosis, by Sarah Kane“Doing shows in rep has been a goal of ours because it gives us a chance to stretch and expand upon the ‘rules’ of theatre,” said Artistic Director Phillip Kelly. “With these two polar opposite shows, we’ve allowed ourselves to give our own inspired touch to recognizable pieces whose only similarity is that they were written by playwrights with a true gift for words…words that speak volumes.”

Kelly will direct 4.48 Psychosis, a show that confronts clinical depression straight on by allowing the audience to see inside the mind of a depressive in the hours before her suicide. This brutally honest show also explores the many factors that lead to that decision. As she approaches 4:48 a.m., the time of night in which depressives supposedly see the clearest, her imagination begins to meld with her reality, driving her closer and closer to the edge. To enhance the breaking of the main character’s psyche, the show will also feature the use of dance, live cello music, strategically placed mirrors and multimedia projection.

“I wanted to take a cue from Kane’s notion that beautiful art can be derived from even the darkest of subject matters,” Kelly said. “The idea is to use these different tools and art forms to help create the haunting and emotionally jarring effect of the slowly crumbling minds of the two female protagonists as they inch closer to the meaning of their mortality.”

All in the Timing, by David IvesThe second part of Contemporary Constructions will be the Ives’ classic comedic collection of one-acts, All in the Timing, directed by Carlos Martinez. Bizarre humor at its best, Martinez is sticking to the original lineup that made up the earliest rendition of the show, including: Sure Thing, The Universal Language, Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread, The Philadelphia, Variations on the Death of Trotsky and Words, Words, Words. Though each vignette is capable of standing on its own, Martinez is looking to take the show a step further, melding the pieces together with the use of creative lighting, sound and movement.

“The idea is to take the audience through an abstract journey into the craziness and outlandish relationships that make up the show,” Martinez said. “It’s such a funny show that get s funnier with each reading and each viewing and of course, that honest comedy is what we’re focusing on. But we also hope to grab people by more than just their funny bone.”

Theatre Unleashed is also excited to announce Tales of an Unsettled City: Revelations, the third installment in its late night theatre series, running Saturdays at 10:15 p.m. after presentations of Contemporary Constructions. Theatre Unleashed is coming off a string of sellout shows for the original full-length Tracing Sonny and the recent installment of the Galleries Series, Metamorphose.

I dont know where to begin. PLEASE HELP. MY FATHER IS MISSING.

Hi guys,

I know this is going to sound like another bogus chain email but I assure you that it is not. I personally dont know how I am keeping it together at the moment.

My father has gone missing and I need help.

I know that sometimes sending out messages like this can help locate people. I am asking for any help at this point. Someone might have seen him.

UPDATE 7/10/09 9:40am. My Father's License plate number from the car he was driving.CA 3GPJ453 1993 White Geo Metro. I am going to be updating the info on the entry on the boards I posted this to.

Hey, anyone know of any indoor rock climbing places close to Glendale? I went to Rock Gym Indoor Climbing Center in Long Beach, but it's such a long drive that I'm not really motivated to go back. -_-

Greek theatre
by Bier de Stone ([info]slavezombie)
at July 9th, 2009 (05:23 pm)

I'm planning on seeing the show next month at the Greek. It is a Tuesday night and I've already printed the MTA schedules for the bus ride home, however, if the concert ends after the last bus has come and gone, I'm wondering if anybody knows what the taxi cab situation is like at the Greek. In other words, does one have to make there way down by foot to the corner of Los Feliz and Vermont to find cabs, or will there be a few lingering cabs outside the Greek entrance?

PS
I wouldn't have to worry about a ride if I wasn't a drunk or if I knew friends planning on going to the show on August 11.

Fresh out of the desert; Zombie Shaker Box brings an infectious blend of heavy and honest metal to the table. Featuring a lineup of music veterans from across the country, and globe, lends to their polished yet high octane stage shows.

According to Steve Eggleston, industry expert and tour de force behind Vegas Rocks Magazine, Zombie Shaker Box can be described as, "Bone-shakin', hard-rockin', sweet riffin' sound…would blow away the crowd at Cruefest or Warped Tour!"

Slow internets

I'm only getting about 0.85 megabits per second on downloads right now. Web pages load up so slowly that I feel like I'm on dialup again. I'm not sure what's up with Charter tonight. Bleah!

The net felt slow at work too today, but I think that might something else entirely. I was just wondering if anyone else in the area has been getting a very laggy net tonight?

How pathetic is it
by BetNoir ([info]betnoir)
at July 7th, 2009 (08:42 pm)

that while an entire cavalcade of celebrities were honoring Michael Jackson, the city of Los Angeles is reduced to *Paypal begging* to cover the costs?

I'll bet that if every one of those celebs tossed some money into the pot, the cost would be covered with no burden on taxpayers.

I really don't care if people want to mourn Jackson.

I *do* care if they disrupt My City in the process. From closing the UCLA emergency room, thereby denying the city access to a major traula center, to clgging streets around his house, to paying for the memorial service, our city HAS been disrupted.

I am just over the whole bread and circuses of it all.

current mood: aggravated

Hey,

Does anyone know of a place in LA or even OC that will do a brake and lamp inspection (DMV approved) for a decent rate? I've called a bunch of places and they all charge $70-100...seems like a lot just to issue me a certificate stating that all my lights work!!

Thanks for your help!

current location: The Sherry Theatre
current song: Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (Live)

Tales of an Unsettled City: RevelationsWriters! Theatre Unleashed is continuing it's late night series of original short works with it's third installment of Tales of an Unsettled City: Revelations. Following Beginnings, and Encounters, Revelations should inspire from you that moment in which you realize who or what you're really dealing with, after all the layers are peeled away. Is a long lost friend really taking advantage of you, or is the party you're supposed to go to really the preamble for a ritualistic hazing. We welcome stories from all walks of city life and inspired by almost anything. From the poetic (we accept poetry), to the abstract to the absurd or the musical, the monologue or the wonderful scenes, don't feel afraid to explore and enhance your story by trying something new and bold as we take time to reveal to the audiences one of the most crucial, and emotionally charged steps in city life. Submission can be anywhere from 1 page to 10. Just make them count! Deadline is July 9th. Revelations will premiere after Theatre Unleashed's August's Main Stage shows All in the Timing and 4.48 Psychosis every Saturday evening at 10:30pm. Send Submissions to Matt Ryan (razorbackred23@msn.com) and Carlos Martinez (carlos.martinez@theatreunleashed.com).
