"URBAN LEGENDS" ONE ACT FESTIVAL 2014
The 2014 "Urban Legends" One Act Festival features nine plays over two distinct nights of entertainment, Night A and Night B. Night A and Night B will have eight performances each in November and December.
Both line ups offer something unique. Witness a surreal painting come to life on Night A, and laugh, but seriously be impassioned, at a conversation about race in America on Night B. The evenings center around a sharp and comedic tale about young love by Urban Theatre Movement's guest playwright, Stephen Adly Guirgis.

Praise for Urban Theatre Movement and our season so far:
"Mr. Rosenfeld offers a series of unexpectedly sympathetic portraits After the first few scenes, the audience began to laugh and answer back, cheering or rejecting the characters' choices."
- The New York Times, about HANDBALL at SummerStage 2014
"Handball is a highly entertaining, well-acted, and thoughtful play that will get you wondering about your own attachments to this world, maybe even to the particular park you love." Lydia Kapp LifeInLA
""Handball" is a wonderful paeon to the Bronx, NYC, and the street life that flows within, amidst constant gentrification and urban renewal." LA Examiner
"Profane, funny, and packed with more crotch-grabbing than vintage Madonna, the current revival of Miguel Piñero's prison drama "Short Eyes" at the Los Angeles Theatre Center burns with vivid life." LA Times Theater
