About the show:
BREAKING NEWS: August 21st
In a city like Los Angeles, there is a body problem. Parts of women have been turning up in school yards, cul-de-sacs, and backyards. Another Jane Doe was found today radiating in a microwave during a summer pool party. A CSI unit is investigating and everyone, even your neighbor, is a suspect.
Other upcoming projects include a reading of Angela's play, Spark, by Sarah Lawrence College's graduate-operated theater company, GradWorks, in December. Cupid is misfiring, Aphrodite has left the building, and the last couple died years ago. Spark is a dark tale about the pursuit of happiness in a world that believes love is a sickness and sex is all business.
