Mac Wellman: Bad Penny
Coming Soon: A West Coast Premiere for Charles Mee
City Garage is proud to present the Los Angeles premier of this funny, touching, and haunting new text by acclaimed playwright Charles L. Mee. Welcome to Paradise Park. Pay your admission, get on the boat, and let your imagination take you into a unique, magic world of carnival. Or is it a Club Med for mad people? Is Ella really going to run away with an elephant? Does Benny have any chance of love with her? Why does Darling, a sixteen-year-old girl, have a crush on a man who wears a dress? And are Nancy and Morton, her parents, completely insane or just looking for the meaning of life? Why does Vikram dream of Edgar, the schizophrenic ventriloquist, and are his dummies, Mortimer and Charlie, real or not? Will anyone ever make it back to Londonland or Hamptonland, and is there a Civilization World anywhere close?
Come take a ride with us and discover a secret you won’t forget. Beware of the crocodile!
