THE COLUMBINE PROJECT Returns To LA, 2/7
The Columbine Project returns to Los Angeles by popular demand on February 7, 2010 with a brand-new cast. This drama focuses on the massacre at Columbine High School that left thirteen people -- twelve of them students -- dead. The Columbine Project explores the tragic event from various perspectives before, after, and during that tragic day of April 20, 1999.
After its World Premiere in April 2009, The Columbine Project was extended twice in Los Angeles. When the play moved to New York in July 2009, the Off-Broadway production was extended three times, running for three months at the Actors Temple Theatre.
The play was produced off-Broadway by David and Pamela Burrus and Bree Pavey, in association with Jessimeg Productions.
The Columbine Project recently garnered five VAlley Theatre League Artistic Director Achievement Awards: Best Director of a Drama, Best Featured Actress, Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Stage Manager.
StageSceneLA's 2009 "Best of List" heralds The Columbine Project as Best World Premiere and Best Ensemble in its original run.
The play returns with a brand-new cast lead by Colin Bates, who shared the title role in London's "Billy Elliot" for two years. Karen Praxel returns to the cast playing the devastated mother of Eric Harris. Other featured cast members are; Trista Robinson, Bryan Fox, Kevin Day, Cody Beverstock, Jordan Bellow, Pamela Taylor, Jase Lindgren, Anthony Storwick, Steve Rad, Brett Fleisher, Tara Brown, Anna Mountford, Timothy Brennan, and Charlie Farr.
