3 Tales of Partially Requited Love
Last night, we ran through the three episodes that comprise Almost: 3 Tales of Partially-Requited Love, written and directed by Chuck Rose. The work is coming along well, despite a scattered process that has seen us rehearsing the plays in living rooms from Hollywood to Burbank to Sherman Oaks.
Please come see it, if you’re in the area. I can wholeheartedly endorse this as an enjoyable evening of home-grown theatre. The scripts are lean and witty, and bear witness to certain mysteries about adult relationships most of us wonder about at one time or another.
Chapter one, The Letter, introduces us to a corporate CEO who is stricken with an enormous crush on a young subordinate. The feeling is reciprocated, but their communications are a bit – confused. Chapter two, Restoration, reunites a couple who parted a long time ago, in a Boston townhouse that is about to be torn down. In Chapter three, Relay, one friend tries to talk another one off of a ledge without noticing he is also on it; on the precipice, they admit their feelings for one another. (These best friends are played by Amanda Tepe and your humble blogospondent…)
Ticket prices are nice and low ($12), and you’re getting quality for the dollar. The Elephant Asylum is an 80-seat theatre in Hollywood, on Santa Monica between Cahuenga and Vine, with plenty of parking around the facility. The tickets may go fast, so I would recommend ordering online. By phone, the number to call is (866) 811-4111.

We are giving four performances, Thursday nights only, from September 15 to October 6th.
Friends, I would love to see you there. Like Chuck’s postcard says, “See it with that special someone you’re not sure likes you.”

Would love to be there, but I’m mired in work on the east coast. Will lift a glass for you on each night of the performance.
Break a leg!
