Playwrights 6, the critically acclaimed and only playwright-managed theatre company in Los Angeles, is presenting “14 by 14: A Night of Monologues with Playwrights 6,” on Wednesday, April 12.
The free evening of 14 eclectic dramatic and comedic monologues features the work of 14 writers and 14 actors in Playwrights 6’s Writers/Actors workshop, which meets twice a month at Celebration Theatre in Hollywood. Actors were randomly paired with writers, who then created a piece designed for the actor.
“This is an exciting way to spotlight our talent and to continue to present new works in different forms,” says Amy Tofte, lead producer of the monologue show.
The writers are Nancy Beverly, Laura Black, Steve Blackburn, Troy Cardenas, Thomas Cook, Kimberley Joy Ferrin, Larry Dean Harris, Kelly Maglia, Robert Manning Jr., Jan O’Connor, G. Bruce Smith, Amy Tofte, Jamie Virostko and Gib Wallis.
The actors are Josette DiCarlo, Carolann DiPirro, Mona Eadington, Daniel Hepner, Morris Nash, Randy Ross, Barry Saltzman, Lily Sauvage, Lisa Temple, Lori Allen Thomas, Alecs Vildosola, Donald Williams, Elliott Williams, and Jennie Yee.
Playwrights 6 is the only playwright-managed theater company in Los Angeles. In its short history, Playwrights 6 productions have earned several L.A. Weekly Theatre Award nominations and Backstage West Garland Award honorary mentions. Playwrights 6 productions have also made several “Critics Top 10” lists and garnered several “Critic’s Picks.”
The show will be presented at 8 p.m. at the Powerhouse Theatre, 3116 Second St., between Rose and Marine just off Main Street in Santa Monica. A reception with food and refreshments follows. For information, call (323) 860-6625. ‘That May Well Be’ extended
