Mystery! Intrigue! Romance! Laughs! and the glories and guilts of moving on. The gents will love it as much as the ladies! LA Weekly calls it “Tender and philosophical!†with “a fascinating premise!†The lover we broke up with in an email; the parents we promise to visit but somehow never find the time; the soldier who returns from an unpopular war. Are they any different than the playthings we left behind? And when we write them out of our story, what unforeseen conseque
nces do we set in motion? “Thunderous applause interrupted the performance numerous times!†exclaims the Agora International Press Corps of this exciting new musical, written and directed by internationally renowned Evelyn Rudie and Chris DeCarlo, with musical direction by Playhouse Associate Director Serena Dolinsky.
The cast of 9 triple-threat performers stars Jessica Erin Bennett, Khalia Davis, Dolinsky, Melissa Gentry, Annie Mackay, Nancy Dobbs Owen and Garett Stevens, with Rudie as Baby Babette and DeCarlo as Gigoletto, the no-strings-attached marionette. “The Playhouse is truly a gem in this city, and visiting it should be at the top of everyone’s to do list!†Daily Bruin.
