📣 Congratulations to Henry Ong whose play ASCENT is performing at the Skylight Theatre! 📣

Filled with Ong’s signature blend of heart and humor, Ascent reveals how fear, extreme nationalism, and xenophobia can overshadow truth, shape political decisions, and profoundly affect individual lives—often with lasting global consequences.

Back in 2016, EST/LA supported Henry Ong's Ascent with development time and a staged reading during LAFest!

Eddie Cappiello is trapped living out his life in the Out With A Bang Senior Living Community. When his ex-wife Betty – recently widowed from her second husband – arrives at his door one day and asks him to help her get revenge on a neighbor who has made her life intolerable, Eddie, longing to reawaken the love he and she once had, makes the fateful decision to help. He enlists his good friend and next-door neighbor, a former Israeli accountant and professional mourner, Daniel, and the three of them devise a dangerous and blatantly illegal plot to deal with her recalcitrant neighbor.

📣 EST/LA Member Eve Sigall is appearing in The Real Lady MacBeth: Lifting the Curse at the Hollywood Fringe. 📣

Shakespeare’s play – MACBETH – turned Lady Macbeth into a murderess, a conniving, greedy woman with a masculine lust for power.the real Lady Macbeth is a play that will remove this centuries-long curse that was placed on her, as it turns out, she was a very different queen, full of surprises.

📣 EST/LA Member Susie Tanner's TheatreWorkers Project will be presenting Silent Voices at A Noise Within! 📣

Featuring EST/LA Members Tracey A. Leigh, Karen Rizzo and Jennie Webb along with Susie, Silent Voices is a unique, theatrical exploration that weaves together the stories of one of America's largest, yet unrecognized, workforces: family caregivers.

This work-in-progress gives voice to personal narratives and collective experiences, created through dynamic workshops that, in themselves, were a kind of "self-care" for a group of artists who have been, or currently are, caring for loved ones.

🗓️ May 31 @ 4 & 7pm
🎟️ Admission is Pay What You Choose: $10, $20 or $30/ticket
