Plug
So Marah's directing this play. It's called The Dreamer Examines His Pillow by John Patrick Shanley. For film, he wrote Moonstruck and -- let's be honest -- more importantly, Joe Versus the Volcano. (Unfortunately, there are no remote islands of savages who survive on orange soda in Dreamer, but you should go anyway). For theatre, he's written a zillion plays and won a kazillion awards.
Anyhoot, the show starts this week. It's a dramedy. So be ready to laugh through your tears, party through your pain, etc. Beyond Marah's excitement for the script, I don't know much about the show except that it's 3 acts and under 90 minutes. I did see a chunk of rehearsal that got me hooked. And also, the acting, especially by the guy who plays the crotchedy dad, is great.
The flyer...
The Dreamer Examines his Pillow
December 3rd - 5th, and 10th - 12th
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8pm
$5 donation
The Plymouth Theatre
4359 Melrose Ave. between Edgemont and Heliotrope
The theatre's near Cha Cha Cha. And there's certainly no rule against having a little sangria buzz when you come to the show. I'm just sayin'.
