More on LA Theatre: The Actor’s Space & “Shadow Hour”
While attending the Podcast Expo in Ontario, CA recently I got to have a conversation with the lovely Charlotte Marie, a model and actress in the LA area. I mentioned the rumors I’d heard of the dearth of theatre, and she was quick to point out that she was also involved in a production called “Shadow Hour“, produced by the Actors Space (in Sherman Oaks).
The Actor Space, founded and run by acting coach Joe Palese (Hill Street Blues, Days of Our Lives), premieres its first full length play SHADOW HOUR beginning October 6 th 2007 in its new Sherman Oaks facility. A gripping and suspenseful courtroom drama written by Ralph Tropf, SHADOW HOUR revolves around the trial of Senator Adam Martin, accused of raping his young assistant Christy Connelly.
SHADOW HOUR’s incisive look into the contentious jury process and testimonials is augmented by a three level stage design by Tim Shukar with overall supervision by producer Lynne Jacobellis. Under the direction of Joe Palese, the experienced cast includes: Becca Battoe (Scrubs, Invasion), Allison Coster (Rome and Jewel), Charlotte Marie (Succubus: Hell Bent), Jen McAllister, Tim McLaughlin (Monk, Everybody Hates Chris), Tawney Mertes, Stacey Miller (Rodney) Julie Schaller (The Darwin Awards), Peg Shirley (Close To Home, Devil in the Flesh) and Dominic Calandra as Senator Adam Martin .
For ticket information please call 818-462-5273 or email lynne@theactorspace.com. Group or presale discounts are available via phone, call 818-879-6520. $20 at the door and $17 via presale by Oct 5th. Industry comps are available.
It opens today and has a 6 week run, which means there’s a chance I’ll get to visit her for an interview before it’s done (it looks like I’ll be spending a few days in L.A. after Blogworld Expo in Vegas, thanks to the generosity of some fellow bloggers).
