Editorial reviews

In these four one-act plays from Emmy-award winning screenwriter and playwright Jane Anderson recorded before a live audience in Santa Monica, the trials and tribulations of life in Los Angeles take dramatic form. A Seminar for Responsible Living, The Last Time I Saw Her, Earthquake Preparedness, and Lynette Has PMS each capture a different facet of this coastal city's varied personality. Passionate, funny, and touching performances from hot contemporary actors Arye Gross, Paul Mercier, Robert Robinson, and Erika Schickel bring an special magnetism to the plays, with warm audience reactions adding to the feel of being in a packed theater.

Publisher's Summary

Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director Jane Anderson presents four one-act plays: A Seminar for Responsible Living; The Last Time I Saw Her; Earthquake Preparedness; Lynette Has PMS. With unforgettable characters and scathing humor, the stories explore the challenges of life in Los Angeles, from gun violence to earthquakes. These short pieces - whether monologues or mini-plays, traditional narratives, or impressionistic fragments - ask us to consider what we need to take with us into the next hundred years, and what is best left behind. A full-cast performance featuring Arye Gross, Paul Mercier, Robert Robinson, and Erika Schickel.
