LOFT ENSEMBLE PRESENTS
LOVESICK BY LARISSA WISE

OPENS SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2013
FOR 12 PERFORMANCES ONLY

NOW EXTENDED THRU SUNDAY 3/10

LOFT Ensemble (Adam Chambers, Artistic Director) has announced a limited engagement of LoveSick, written and directed by Larissa Wise, at the LOFT’s home space in downtown Los Angeles. Opening night is set for Saturday, January 19 at 8:00, and LoveSick will play a strictly limited engagement through February 24 only.

LoveSick is a darkly comic exploration of love, its twisted conceptions and its infinite wonders. Through verse, prose, movement, and song, the audience is taken on the wonderland-like journey of two conflicted lovers as they are brought together by a shared dream. Of an earlier production at the 2012 NYC International Fringe Festival, NYTheatre.com said, “It is a beautiful, breathtaking production … that reminds you why theatre is done at all.” The Artswire called it, “… fascinating, beautiful, and epic …,” and Theatre Is Easy said, “Mostly humorous and dreamy, this play also touches on the darker realities of love and sexuality.”

The cast of LoveSick will feature (in alphabetical order) Deborah Baker Jr., Noah Benjamin, Jessica Botello, Adam Chambers, Sean Durrie, Marissa Galloway, Jason Ryan Lovett, John Sperry Sisk, Vanessa Vaughn, and Larissa Wise. Production design is by Marissa Galloway, Jason Ryan Lovett, and Larissa Wise, and the stage manager is Ashley Snyder.

Opening night is set for Saturday, January 19 at 8:00. Admission is $20 for all performances. The regular running schedule is Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm, through February 24 only. Tickets are on sale now, and may be purchased online at www.LOFTensemble.com, or by calling (213) 680-0392.

LOFT Ensemble is located at 929 East Second Street, #105 (on the corner of Second Street and Vignes), in downtown LA’s Arts District. Theatre entrance is on Vignes between 1st and 2nd. For more information on the company and its mission, go to www.LOFTensemble.com.
