The Blank Theatre Presents

THE SANTALAND DIARIES by David Sedaris

Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello
Directed by Michael Matthews
Starring Paolo Andino

Hollywood's New Holiday Tradition!!

“SANTALAND” is an outrageously funny one-man play (from NPR’s David Sedaris) about the author’s experiences as an unemployed writer taking a job as an elf at Macy’s. At first the job is simply humiliating, but once the thousands of visitors start pouring through Santa's workshop, he becomes battle weary and bitter, occasionally taking out his frustrations on the children and parents alike.

For those who like a little spice with their Christmas sugar, this tale of mass marketing, stressed out sales clerks, drunk Santas, screaming kids and the general insanity of the holidays is hilarious, witty, sardonic and unpredictable; mercilessly cutting through the Christmas spirit to point out what crazy things we do as human beings during the holidays.

"If you’d like a bracing dash of bitters at this sticky-sweet time of year, you might want to belly up and drink in the fun....If you’re in the mood to get goofy and giggle, don’t deprive yourself of this holiday treat." - F. Kathleen Foley, LA Times

November 19 - December 18, 2011.

Jane Chambers', multi-award winning play, 'Last Summer At Bluefish Cove', is the story of a dissatisfied straight woman who leaves her husband to spend some quiet time by herself and who unwittingly and naively wanders into the midst of a group of seven lesbians at the beginning of their annual beachside vacation. She falls in love with the charming leading character who, unknown to her, is dying of cancer.

The friendships, the laughter, the love, the fears of being outed, the difficulties of being gay and how it affects relationships with family, children, parents and careers, the demonstrations of what the painful price could be for a lesbian lifestyle. Chambers' comedic dialogue, sensitivity to human nature and tender treatment of her characters help the play transcend preconceptions and show the universality of these women's journeys, whether straight or gay.

Last Summer At Bluefish Cove is a journey through friendship and love that will make you laugh, cry and reflect on what is truly important in your life.

Only Six Performances! October 21, 22, 23 & 28, 29, 30

The Cradle Will Rock  
General Admission: $30. Buy online at www.TheBlank.com or by phone 323-661-9827.

 

Corporations and churches use their influence to shape laws to their favor, unemployment hits new heights, and millions of Americans are losing their homes. Sound like the New Millennium? In 1937, Mark Blitzstein’s musical called these issues into question with his scathing satire of greed, corruption and politics in the U.S. of A. So scandalous, in fact, was “The Cradle” that the U.S. Government tried to shut it down. But Blitzstein’s humor, music and agitprop parody ruled the day and the public got to hear this terrific, fun, jazzy score. Snappy tunes, wonderful characters and deep questions about our nation will take you on a rollercoaster ride through the American patriotic psyche.

In celebration of their 20th Anniversary, The Blank will revive its production of “The Cradle”, which won the LA Weekly Award for “Musical of the Year”, 3 Drama-Logue Awards including “Production” and “Director”, and 2 Ovation Award nominations (“Best Musical”, “Best Director”) in 1995.

“Sophisticated, witty … Daniel Henning’s insightful staging and inspired performances showcase the enduring brilliance in the underappreciated watershed musical.” – Philip Brandes, LA Times

Biographies In A Bag  
conversations on craft
General Admission: $15.

 


'Biographies In A Bag' refers to a series of short one-person plays, written by Lynn Ferguson, that premiered to rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2004.

Though they may vary vastly in style, each individual play follows these three simple rules:
- It is 30 minutes long.
- The set is one single chair and props are merely what can be carried on at the beginning of the show in a single bag.
- The performer reveals something of their own life intertwined with the biography of someone who at first glance may appear to be completely unrelated.

Lynn Ferguson performs her 'Arthur Schopenhauer', weaving her story of new motherhood with the German philosopher of pessimism to form a touching, honest and comedic monologue.

Rachel Ogilvy performs her 'Doris Day', entwining her tale of an ill fated marriage with her admiration and respect for the actress who was known for her squeaky clean image.

January 17, 18, 19. Performance starts promptly at 8pm, doors at 7:30pm.

Heart & Sole

Starring Lynn Ferguson

Heart & Sole is the story of Carol, an elementary school teacher in Scotland, who falls in love with David, a fish living in a tank at the local aquarium. From this absurd idea, Ferguson has spun a warmly twisted drama asking the question “can you love someone and not be like them?” Her talent for embodying vibrant personalities allows her to switch between three characters effortlessly. Helping to illustrate Carol’s dilemma, we meet her friend Elaine, a brassy housewife, and Sacha, a possibly cultish fish fanatic.

Presented by Lange Productions
Written and Directed by Ted Lange

In 1846, some black folks came up with a plan to protest slavery…

Chaos, comedy, and collusion resound when a group of black men conspire to steal the Liberty Bell before it can be rung on George Washington’s birthday on February 22, 1846. This band of black folks meets in Philadelphia at the Golden Fleece Tavern to plot the confiscation of America’s icon of freedom. What makes them think they can do it? How in the world will they do it? Will the mystery of the Liberty Bell’s famous crack finally be solved? Let Freedom Ring is based on historical imagination and combines Lange’s signature comedy and drama as it reverberates issues of change and hope that still vibrate today.

That Great & Dreadful Day-Tall Tales From The American Swamp  
Adult General Admission $20, Student/Senior/Active Military $16

 

This all acoustic "Swamp Operetta" is a play in the musical theatre variety. The "Tall Tale" is centered on the life experiences of the Blues Musician, one Laurence Douglas Miner and his small group of cohorts as spun in the first person by the "Storyteller" in the Here & Now.

Staged on a sharecropper's cabin during Depression-era Louisiana continuing through the War Years and into the 1960's, the tales are told and the original songs are sung by a cast of seven in period costume who play out the "Tale" with their dialogue from the There & Then... By the time the lightenin' strikes, one is hard-pressed to tell whether the tales were true, half-true, or just out'n out lies.

Standing ovations and rave reviews continue to propel this production to Sold-out performances RESERVATIONS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

REVIEWS:
"There's concept and then there's follow-through...and when it comes to musical-act-meets-theatrical-performance, you can't help but be impressed by the efforts of the Black Tongued Bells music. In their original stage production you'll hear what's been described as 'Electrified jug-band-blues sauce with a Waitsain twist', see if your life is changed in a backwoods way forever."- Los Angeles City Beat

"This is an exceptionally special entertainment event--there is nothing quite like it anywhere--a class act all the way...deserves the attention of audiences everywhere" -Jana Pendragon, KXLU 88.9FM

"A juke joint-style amalgam of song, story, hootin' and hollerin"
- Mindy Farabee, Los Angeles Times.

“If the Rolling Stones grew up in Louisiana, they’d probably sound just like us!”

Proceeds benefit charity.

 
An exciting, new, seminar series is starting in Hollywood featuring some prominent figures in the entertainment industry with the proceeds from the ticket sales going to charity. “Conversations on Craft” will focus on well known actors, directors, writers and producers from all aspects of show business. During the course of these 90 minute interviews, participants will gain access to candid, behind-the scenes stories to some of the most influential figures in film, television and theatre. The next “conversation” will be held on Tuesday, May 4th at 7:30 pm at The Stella Adler Theatre in Los Angeles. The guests will be Edward Asner, Emmy award winning actor (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant, etc.; former president of Screen Actors Guild) and Mark Rydell (Oscar nominated director of On Golden Pond and The Rose; Artistic Director of The Actors Studio West).

“Conversations on Craft” is the brainchild of writer/director Luke Yankee, a prominent theatre director, playwright and author in Los Angeles. “I have been attending a lot of seminars at the Writer’s Guild Foundation recently and I was so inspired by them, I wanted to offer something similar that included other disciplines,” says Yankee. “The proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the charities of the speakers’ choice. Not only are they sharing their wisdom and experience, they are also helping a cause that they are passionate about.” A portion of the proceeds will also go to benefit The Stella Adler Los Angeles Academy of Acting and Theatre, one of the most renowned actor training programs in the country. John Jack Rodgers, Executive Director of the Adler, is co-producing the events with Mr. Yankee.

LET IT BE ART!
Harold Clurman's Life of Passion
   
April 16, 2:30pm. General Admission $5; Adler Students FREE

 
A solo performance play about Director / Drama Critic / Author of "The Fervent Years," Co-Founder of The Group Theatre, HAROLD CLURMAN.

Written and Performed by Ronald Rand
Directed by Gregory Abels

The moment Ronald Rand takes the stage as Harold Clurman in his solo performance, LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion, embodying Harold Clurman, through voice, gesture and size, we are immediately thrust into a world of boundless passion for the theatre, and taken on a inspiring journey that lingers within our consciousness for a very long time.

Mr. Rand as writer and performer captures the essence of who Harold Clurman was and what he stood for. His creation instills in the audience an unforgettable experience of passion, courage and inspiration.

We follow Harold Clurman from his beginnings on the Lower East Side, through his education at the Sorbonne in Paris with Aaron Copland as his roommate, his initiation into the theatre through The Provincetown Players and The Theatre Guild, his friendship with Lee Strasberg, and their decision with Cheryl Crawford, to found The Group Theatre, as well as his relationships with Stella Adler, Alfred Stieglitz, Marlon Brando and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, among several others.

LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion, starring Ronald Rand is a dramatic journey of humor, boldness and fervor, of the man heralded as "the elder statesman of the American Theatre." An experience you don't want to miss!

LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion IS A SPONSORED PROJECT OF THE NEW YORK FOUNDATION OF THE ARTS.

Why Torture Is Wrong  
adler fest
Ticket prices range from $22-$28, and may be purchased by calling 323-661-9827 or online at www.TheBlank.com

 

The Blank Theatre Company Presents Christopher Durang’s raucous and provocative satire about America’s growing homeland “insecurity.” A young woman is suddenly in crisis: is her new husband, whom she married when drunk, a terrorist? Or just crazy? Or both? Is her father’s hobby of butterfly collecting really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government? Why does her mother enjoy going to the theatre so much? Does she seek mental escape, or is she insane? Honing in on our private terrors both at home and abroad, Durang oddly relieves our fears in this black comedy for an era of yellow, orange and red alerts. Why Torture is Wrong had its world premiere at New York’s Public Theater in the spring of 2009.

Preview performances of Why Torture Is Wrong are Saturday, January 30 at 8pm, Sunday, January 31 at 2pm, and Tuesday, February 2 through Friday, February 5 at 8pm. Opening night is set for Saturday, February 6 at 8:00. The regular performance schedule is Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm through March 14. Ticket prices range from $22-$28, and may be purchased by calling 323-661-9827 or online at www.TheBlank.com.

MANish BOY  
 
Tickets $20  

LA WEEKLY says...GO! - "Harris is a seasoned comic performer" - SoCal

 

MANish BOY, is comprised of characters that Ralph has developed on stages throughout the world. This hysterical one-man show celebrates moving memories, while taking you on a journey to the unknown. The story unfolds when he finds out that he may be a father, and he goes home to take a DNA test. During this performance, Ralph effortlessly brings neighborhood characters and childhood friends to life with a visit to his favorite place… his Mom’s basement. The basement is where he discovers that sometimes where you're from-- makes you who you are. It’s a must see!

NOTE: Performance Includes Music, NO Intermission

Is Racism a myth? What about Homophobia? It all depends on who you ask, the victim or the perpetrator.

 

Mark your calendars! On Aug. 7 we open Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, which I am directing and which has occupied most of my time this summer. It will be hilarious, sexy, romantic, suspenseful and full of surprises! Set against the backdrop of San Francisco's Summer of Love in 1967, the production features the music of The Moody Blues, The Doors, The Who, Janis Joplin, Procol Harum, Traffic and others of that period. We will play for TWO WEEKS ONLY in Hollywood at the Stella Adler, in The Gilbert Theatre, every night from the 7th thru the 16th (no show Monday the 10th). I have every confidence this will be a production to remember. And, like those who attended Woodstock 40 years ago this summer, you will be able to say proudly that, "I was there!" Hope to see you in August!! Bruce Katzman

NOTE TO MEDIA: Comp tickets available to media for Opening Gala on Saturday, July 18. RSVP to jazzmynepr@gmail.com or makeda@jazzmynepr.com.
