Furious Committed to Moving Forward

Furious Theatre Company is deeply saddened to hear the news about the closing of the historic theatre that has generously given us a home for over 5 years. Our relationship with Pasadena Playhouse has done amazing things for our company, and we'll be eternally grateful for our time here as part of the Playhouse family. Our sympathies go out to our friends on the Playhouse staff who are losing their jobs. Although this news presents some immediate challenges for our organization, we are determined to continue with our current season as planned. We are moving forward with our upcoming production of MEN OF TORTUGA and will explore all options to keep its February 20 opening on schedule in the Carrie Hamilton Theatre. Furious is aware that the current situation will present obstacles but it is our hope that the generous support we have received from our patrons and donors will continue to be there to lift us up in what is sure to be a greater time of need. While it remains uncertain where our company will be producing in the future we remain committed to bringing "furious" theatre to Los Angeles audiences.

West Coast Premiere
Men of Tortuga
by Jason Wells
Directed by Alexis Chamow
February 17 - March 21, 2010

Three power-brokers scheme with a weapons specialist to assassinate a despised opponent... Too bad they’re all such incompetents. The bungling only gets worse as Maxwell, the senior power-broker, takes a young idealist under his wing. Suddenly his long-dormant conscience begins to reawaken. This comedic thriller discloses a sharp parable that takes a crack at the nastiness of covert governmental and corporate operations.

Featuring ensemble members Dana Kelly, Jr. and Robert Pescovitz.



Los Angeles Premiere
boom
By Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
Directed by Dámaso Rodriguez
May/June, 2010

A comedy both epic and intimate that spans billions of years. It begins as a grad student’s online personal ad lures a mysterious journalism student to his subterranean research lab under the pretense of an evening of “no strings attached” sex. When a major global catastrophic event strikes the planet, their date takes on evolutionary significance and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

Featuring ensemble members Nick Cernoch and Megan Goodchild.



World Premiere
NOgoodDEED
By Matt Pelfrey
Fall, 2010

Furious Theatre’s award-winning writer in residence exposes the dark side of good deeds in this skillfully drawn, violently dark comedy about young Josh Jaxon, who is driven to ruin by his own act of bravery. Josh and two fellow “heroes” unite in the afterlife and vow to undo their courageous feats by adopting superhero personas and an unconventional brand of time travel. NOgoodDEED is a savagely humorous ride that is part play, part graphic novel, and part something utterly new and extreme.
