The Moth Theatre Presents
SUPER SUNDAY
Written by Stephen Collins
Directed by Jamie Wollrab

Opens April 14, 2011 for Five Weeks Only

The Moth Theatre, John Markland, Artistic Director, Efrain Schunior, Managing Director, has announced their production of Super Sunday, a comedy by Stephen Collins, directed by Jamie Wollrab. The opening is set for Thursday, April 14 at 8pm, and the limited run will end on May 15.

In Super Sunday, a complicated, wise-cracking Vietnam vet turned ad executive finds his life unraveling when he discovers his wife’s interest in one of her acting class partners … a younger man. Oddly comic mayhem ensues as the couple stumbles toward total indifference … and possibly some self-discoveries that could save their marriage. Super Sunday was previously produced at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.

The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Wes Chatham, Jen Dede, Alex Desert, Alice Fulks, and Ross McCall. The set design is by Sean Vasquez, lighting design is by Justin Huen, costume design is by Stephanie Powers, and sound design is by Efrain Schunior. The production stage manager is Mara Klein, and the producer for the Moth Theatre is Mara Tasker.

Playwright Stephen Collins has enjoyed success in several different areas of show business. He has appeared on Broadway (Spamalot, Moonchildren, The Ritz), off-Broadway (Durang’s Beyond Therapy, Macbeth with Christopher Walken, with Julie Andrews in the Stephen Sondheim revue Putting It Together at Manhattan Theatre Club). Collins is perhaps best known for his role as the Reverend Eric Camden on more than 200 episodes of 7th Heaven, but his other television credits include shows such as Tales of the Gold Monkey, The Waltons, Barnaby Jones and Charlie’s Angels. He is currently a series regular on the ABC series Modern Family. He is an Emmy Award nominee for his work opposite Ann-Margret in the mini-series The Two Mrs. Grenvilles, and has also written two novels, Eye Contact (1994) and Double Exposure (1998). Among other film credits (including All The President’s Men and Star Trek: The Motion Picture), Collins has appeared in two movies with Diane Keaton, The First Wives Club (1996) and Because I Said So (2007).

Announcing: The Moth Theatre presents The Blue Room

The Moth Theatre Presents David Hare’s
THE BLUE ROOM
Directed by John Markland

Opens December 2, 2010 for 12 Performances Only

The Moth Theatre has announced their production of The Blue Room, David Hare’s 1998 play, which caused quite a sensation when it was first produced in London and subsequently on Broadway over a decade ago. Directed by John Markland, The Blue Room will open on December 2 and run for twelve performances only through December 19.

There is a common thread that links us all. Contact. Acceptance. Seeing, and maybe more importantly, being seen. Based on La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler, The Blue Room offers a rotation of people spinning on this thread … each person, in his or her own way, expressing an honesty that gives birth to intimacy. The audience plays voyeur, witnessing just how fragile and elusive that thread can be. The Blue Room is for mature audiences only. It contains adult themes, language, and nudity.

The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Lili Bordan, Scott Dunn, Alice Fulks, Pamela Guest, Justin Huen, Patrick Scott Lewis, James Mendoza, Jan Milewicz, Addison Timlin, and Kate Towne. The design team includes set by Benoit Guerin, lighting by Jenna Pletcher, costume design by Regine Linhares, sound design by Priscilla Watson, and video design by Brian Andrew Mendoza. The production stage manager is Melina Franks, and the producer for the Moth Theatre is Efrain Schunior.

The Blue Room is set to open on Thursday, December 2 at 8pm. The regular performance schedule is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 6pm. Admission is $20; tickets are on sale now and may be purchased by visiting www.brownpapertickets.com/event/135312 or www.moththeatre.com. There will be absolutely no late seating.

On Saturday evenings, the Moth invites patrons to stay and enjoy Night Light, a post-performance social hour with refreshments, live music and more.

The Moth Theatre is located at 4359 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, 90029. Entrance to the theatre is through the alley in the back, on Heliotrope. Street parking is available.
