Groundwork at VisionLA'15
"Grow a garden."  The idea hits Paul like a meteor hitting the planet  and he's off.  He reads the books, sows the seeds, and before his first tomatoes ripen, departs on a crusade to save the planet, one precious seedling at a time.  Saving himself, however, will prove a much harder battle.


THE ROAD TO VISION LA 2015

After opening with In/Visible Theatre Company in Boone, NC, running as a Bestseller at the internationally acclaimed United Solo Theatre Festival (New York City), performing sell-out shows at Two Roads Theater (Studio City), and participating in The Whitefire Theatre SoloFest (Sherman Oaks) and QSolo Fest (New Mexico), Groundwork returns to Los Angeles as a part of VisionLA 2015 - an arts festival engaging communities county-wide, calling for a swift response to the climate crisis, and creatively envisioning LA's sustainable future.  VisionLA 2015 has been timed to coincide with the U.N.'s 21st "Conference of the Parties" on Climate Change (COP 21) in Paris, and the concurrent Art COP21, a Paris-wide arts festival expressing support for a strong international climate treaty and positive, sustainable change.  The Groundwork Team is excited to be a part of such an important festival as Vision LA 2015.  (www.visionlafest.org)  

Join us for three performances of this exciting, thought-provoking play: Saturday, December 5th at 2:00PM and 8:00PM and Sunday, December 6th at 7:00PM at The Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre in Larchmont Village, Los Angeles.
