Current Nobody

Hey - I'm about to enter TECH week for my next show. Why have I not told you about this earlier? I dunno.... we all go through blog phases, I guess. ;)

It's pretty durn wacky and smart and imaginative and well-written and the cast and crew are REALLY nice and talented and it's affordable and it's totally elitist. ;) It's called Current Nobody and it's a sort of contemporary re-imagining of The Odyssey with the genders flipped (see below). I play Pen. Pen rules.

Please notate that we have two pay-what-you-can previews this Friday and Saturday. Those are REALLY cheap.

Just Theater Presents the West Coast Premiere of:

CURRENT NOBODY
by Melissa James Gibson
Directed by Jonathan Spector

"She said the general said this was a
Besiege Becalm Begone type of thing and
she said the general said In and Out and
generals are generally right"

A modern riff on Homer's Odyssey, CURRENT NOBODY reverses the genders to tell the story of an epic long-distance relationship and the ultimate working Mom. While his famous photo-journalist wife Pen is away covering a war for 20 years, Od struggles to raise his daughter and fend off the advances of a trio of indie-documentary filmmakers. With dazzling language and humor CURRENT NOBODY weaves together this famous tale with the very contemporary dilemma of attempting to balance career, ambition and family life.

With Arwen Anderson*, Michael Barrett Austin,* Lizzie Calogero*, Lindsey Gates,* Danielle Levin*, Michelle Pava Mills*, and Ryan O'Donnell
