Once Upon a Park Bench
IMPORTANT: The Sunday, Nov. 18 performance is SOLD OUT!!
The Actors Workout Studio (AWS) presents "Once Upon a Park Bench," a brand new collection of nine short plays by members of the AWS Writers Workshop, running Oct. 20-Nov. 18, at the Actors Workout Studio in the heart of the NoHo Arts District.
Following on the heels of the recent AWS production, "The Bench," this new production features all-new material based on the concept that a park bench is a stage on which the comedy and drama of life play out.
Nine short plays by six writers present a range of stories, all of which take place on a park bench, from a pair of mismatched exercise buddies who come together in Mick Montgomery's "The Jogging Trail" to the complex relationship between two male friends -- one gay, one straight -- in Eric Seppala's "The Best Man."
Broadway actress Wren Taylor stars as a homeless woman receiving a visit from an affluent young executive in Sunta Izzicupo's "A New Wardrobe." Sammy Williams, a Tony Award-winning member of the original cast of "A Chorus Line" on Broadway, plays a retired colonel seeking to recruit a former CIA assassin for one last important job in Christopher Hardie's "The Executioner."
Other play titles include "Family Picnic" by Mick Montgomery, "Family Traditions" by Eric Seppala, "The Proxy" by Sunta Izzicupo, and "Suzanne" and "The Vote" by Johnny Cho.
The show was written and developed by members of the Writers Workshop at the Actors Workout Studio, a unique creative forum that brings writers and actors together to sharpen talents and exchange ideas in the development of new material. Since its inception in August 2005, the workshop has produced four shows, including last spring's hit production, "Love in Pieces," and the recent production of "The Bench."
These previous productions have received several positive reviews. Backstage West called Sunta Izzicupo's "A Runaway Bride" in "The Bench" a "charmer of a play." Backstage West also praised Mick Montgomery's "Ground Rules" in "Love in Pieces" as a "superb piece" that "unleashes a blizzard of timely and very funny dialogue."
