Write Act Repertory begins its 2008 Black Box Series

of Original One-Acts with Reservations for 2

Production explores the intricate and hilarious

dynamics of love, sex, and relationship.

Write Act Repertory and Producing and Associate Artistic Directors John Lant and Joe McClean proudly announce their production of Reservations for 2 as the first show of its 2008 Black Box Series.  

This innovative production weaves together live jazz music with six original one-acts to create a sultry and involving evening.  Directed by Dan Green, Susan Hunter, and Rich Wong, this celebration of new work will have a limited engagement at the Write Act Repertory Theatre from Tuesday, May 20th through Thursday, May 22nd, 2008.

Reservations for 2 transforms the everyday theatre performance into a lively lounge experience.  From pieces including Rich Wong’s racy film noir parody Wrong Kind of Woman to Susan Hunter’s twisted portrayal of the classic birds and bees in Heart-to-Heart – from Brad Kayl’s charming relationship episodic Love As We Know It to Steven Korbar’s sexy role-playing games in Mrs. Jansen Isn’t Here Now, the production sizzles with fresh takes on familiar themes, leaving the audience to revel in the inherent truth, present in each piece.  With Chris Glik at the piano and a cocktail in everybody’s hand, live jazz casts a spell on the room to complete the already lush mood.

“The most universal theme is love,” said Andrea Pandazedes, Producer of Reservations for 2.  “This collection of vignettes spotlights how important our relationships are to each other and encourages us to reflect on our own experiences with laughter.  The show is exciting, fun, beautiful, sexy, bittersweet, heartbreaking, and inspiring . . . just like love.”

Reservations for 2 launches in the beautifully rebuilt Write Act Repertory Theatre on the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church campus, located at 6128 Yucca Avenue in Hollywood, two blocks east of the famous Capitol Records building near Gower and Franklin off the 101 Freeway. Free ample parking is located one block away in the lower church parking lot at 6125 Carlos Avenue. The theatre, which features an outdoor patio reception area, is both air-conditioned and heated.  Seating is limited.
