“Perry Roberts is about to graduate from a prestigious private college. The son of a corrupt Congressman, Perry has lost faith in all the things he held true - his family, girlfriend, and the American Dream. He finds himself emotionally bereft and depressed. In search of self-discovery, Perry meets Giovanni, an art student with an unrealized gift, Giovanni is Perry's polar opposite. Raised by abusive parents and placed into a series of foster homes, Giovanni is brooding and nihilistic. He lives in an altered state full of drugs and sex, capped by a deadly game with a gun and a single bullet! Perry sees Gio as a free spirit, incorruptible and impervious to the pressures of society. Gio believes Perry to be a spoiled rich boy dabbling in existential angst. Perry needs Gio to believe that his pain is real, while Giovanni implores Perry to play his game of Russian roulette to prove the validity of his suffering. As Perry and Gio's relationship evolves, and drug-fueled emotions churn, their fates linger at the tip of a revolver with a single bullet. Perry sets out on a quest to save Gio. The only question is, is he in time or too late?”

 

Our Leading Lady - Designing the set for the west coast premiere of the comedy Our leading lady written by Charles Bush. The costumes are designed by the seventeen Tony Awards nominated costumes designer Jane Greenwood. The comedy is playing at The Neighborhood Playhouse in Palos Verdes Estates.

 

“Charles Bush gives a humorous look at theater life in one of the most turbulent times of the united states history, at the end of the civil war. A star actress saddled with a sub-par supporting cast is determined to boost her fortunes by having President Lincoln attend  her closing -night performance at Ford Theatre.”
