THEATRE ASYLUM

      

                        EXTENDED THROUGH MARCH 31st

      


Just Nominated for 2 LA Weekly Theatre Awards!!
"Best Comedy Ensemble" and "Best Adaptation".

After a sold out and critically acclaimed West Coast Premiere at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, Her Majesty's Secret Players return with an extended run of Pulp Shakespeare, produced with Combined Artform at the Theatre Asylum.

Playing Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM, and Sunday's at 2:00 PM, you won't want to miss what LA Stage and Cinema hailed as "thrilling, exciting, and hysterical" and what LA Weekly gave a GO! and called "..an appealing and unexpectedly harrowing drama."

"This lively and imaginative re-invention" (LA Weekly) imagines what it might be like had the cult film “Pulp Fiction” been written by William Shakespeare.

Set in Elizabethan England, Pulp Shakespeare weaves the story of a pair of murderers, their boss’s alluring wife, and a desperate knight, all brought to life by a cast of acclaimed Los Angeles Shakespearean actors.

After a great run at the Hollywood Fringe Fest, “Life in the Middle Ages” was voted “Best of the Fest” and will extend its run through September.  Strictly speaking to and for those experiencing middle age, the show actually comes with the following caution, “WARNING: THIS SHOW IS RATED NC-30. ATTENDING THIS SHOW MAY CAUSE EARLY ONSET MIDLIFE CRISIS IN PERSONS UNDER THIRTY.”

LITMA shield color lr

The medieval-themed, multi-media, evening equates the realizations that initiate midlife crisis with receiving a terminal diagnosis that triggers the grieving process. Using Elizabeth Kübler Ross’ five stages of grief – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance – “Life in the Middle Ages” illustrates the midlife crisis experience. Addressing its subject matter through observation, storytelling, video and group participation, the show allows the audience to both commiserate and celebrate the universally dreaded concept of midlife crisis.

 

LA theater critics agree; this is a must-see show:

 

“Very funny insights with sincerity and humility. Still with me days later.”

Stage and Cinema

 

“Irreverent, Quip-Happy… the Audience Seemed Truly Touched.”

Backstage West

 

“Foul-mouthed, glib, self-assured, and dead on.  Ochs gives us not just illumination but coping skills if not a downright solution to our fears.”

LA Splash

 

“A brisk, funny, and ultimately uplifting show.”

L.A.'s Improvatorium, which brought you "Zombience" and "Death, Lies & Alibis,"  delves into

the world of Alfred Hitchcock with their latest improvised slap in the face to a much lionized genre. Audience suggestions will propel the action throughout the evening as the cast strives to create a one time only, completely

original story in the style of Mr. H's films.  The cast is costumed in the Hitchcockian tradition, but that is the only pre-prepared aspect of the show.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world of anonymity? Say anything you want? Be anyone you can? Even if people think it is bizarre or disturbing? TheSpyAnts Theatre Company, celebrating their 10th Anniversary, present the long-awaited sequel to Katie Goan's and Nitra Gutierrez 's zany, kaleidoscopic play, Kidnapped by Craigslist. Lori Evans Taylor, who directed the original, takes on this new script with panache, weaving her cast in and out of the dozens of actual Craigslist's postings.

Kidnapped by Craigslist: The Graveyard Shift is an eerie and risque new comedy that explores the carnivalesque, cult-like phenomenon that is Craigslist. TheSpyAnts' alternating cast brings actual postings to life from the web site with scripted material and live music. This unique and creative one-hour play tells the true stories that are locked inside an online community that has shaped and inspired today's internet generation. There's a place for you here. There's a place here for everyone. We all have a dark side, you know.

THE POSTION

PianoFight presents a fast paced, post apocalyptic, darkly comic thriller, The Position is the story of a shining opportunity and what people will do to get it, in a world ravaged by 80% unemployment and mass social chaos. The Position represents security and fulfillment. The Concern has selected six finalists from more than half-a-million job applicants, flown them to a remote compound, and provided them with every luxury and diversion—including golf, paragliding and skeet shooting. When they arrive, the six candidates are stripped of their clothing and identities, informed that the laws of The Nation have been suspended and that they will be recorded around the clock while they compete for the one job that they believe can give them hope in a hopeless world.

HAPPY NEW DECADE !!!!

COMBINED ARTFORM CELEBRATES 11 YEARS

Having its start at a barber shop, performing at cafes and at a church, Combined Artform can now count as its successes four theaters in two cities and hundreds of shows over the past eleven years.

It really has been a wonderful experience and we are thankful for the venues, the shows and most of all the people who helped make it all happen. With all the ups and downs, it has always been a pleasure to work with such great producers, companies, artists and audience.

In just two years in LA, Combined Artform has already developed exceptional partners at Theatre Asylum ranging from co-productions such as "Common Air", a solo show which won an LA Ovation Award, to Impro Theatre which was picked as Best Theatre of 2009 by LA Weekly and with whom we've co-produced productions of Tennessee Williams, Jane Austen and currently Shakespeare Unscripted.

Tilted Frame continues to develop with new directors, performers and formats which include "Who Wrote This Sh!t", and our live internet show performed simultaneously between Los Angeles and San Francisco, "T.F.N." They will also be opening the new Asylum Lab (40 seat) in January 2010.

Since 2007, when Patrick Bristow starred in Combined Artform's Tuna Christmas with Mindy Sterling, he has been developing his company Improvatorium at Theater Asylum. Improvatorium features classes by Patrick and others such as Brian Clark, Ted Michaels and Heather Morgan and performances such as, "Death, Lies and Alibis" and in February of 2010 "Zombience" an improvised musical". They begin 2010 with their Short Form show, followed by the Asylum Improv Jam. We are so excited to be working with Patrick on all of his endeavors.

We're also looking forward to working more with David Razowsky and his long-form mastery in 2010. In addition, Lawrin Salazar's Los Angeles Comedy Festival is still spotlighting away at Theater Asylum and we're excited to be part of their success.

In addition, we are very grateful to David Fofi and the Elephant Theatre for having built these beautiful spaces and for their continued help and support along the way. We are also grateful to Mark Carson for helping Theater Asylum run smoothly.

Meanwhile in San Francisco, it has been a true pleasure during the past two years to work with and produce theatre with Rob Ready and Dan Williams and all the members of PianoFight. Since 2007, they have managed the Off Market Theaters and have grown PianoFight into a successful theatre company. In 2010, we're excited about our developing partnership with PianoFight at Off-Market Theaters and look forward to furthering the SF-LA connection with them.

Tilted Frame-SF keeps pushing the envelope with T.F.N - w/ Los Angeles as well as new in 2010 the Techno Improv Jam our local show followed by a open Jam.

We also continue to enjoy being a part of San Francisco's holiday tradition with David Sedaris' The Santaland Diaries. Wrapping up its eighth year with John Michael Beck and David Sinaiko. It was once again a crowd and critic pleasing show and we look forward to doing it again next year.


But it's January 2010 so for now we have:

  • T.F.N. - Tilted Frame Network in San Francisco & Los Angeles. Yes, it's one show simultaneously performed in two cities.
  • Techno Improv Jam - Jam with Tilted Frame - San Francisco. Come play with our tech.
  • Impro Theatre's - Shakespeare Unscripted - Los Angeles
  • Asylum Improv Jam- with Improvatorium - Los Angeles
    A short form version of our long form tradition.

and that's just the beginning.

Please take a look around the site, sign our guest-book and come back for more.

If you've ever worked with us please check the Artists and Production page to see if we have your information; notes it is still in progress. We can add emails and will be adding more pictures later, so if you have any you would like us to put up, please send them to info@combinedartform.com.

Once again, thank you for an awesome 11 years; we look forward to continuing our adventure with you in the new decade.


Best,

Matthew Quinn
