Clare Carey Directs West Coast Debut of Peter Hedges' IMAGINING BRAD thru 5/27

When Serina Irwin (I Love Lucy Live On Stage, SpongeBob Square Pants) and Sarah Randall Hunt (Unfinished Business, Chronic) approached Clare Carey to direct Academy Award Nominee Peter Hedge's play Imagining Brad, she jumped at the chance to direct this absurd, poignant, uncomfortably funny play about two women who grow a unique friendship of compassion, support, and survival.

Carey is a hard working actress whose credits go back three decades. She plays the juicy role of Lucille Gladner in the upcoming NBC Drama Aquarius, created by John McNamara and starring David Duchovny. After the series premiere of Aquarius on May 28th, NBC will do what no other broadcast network has done and post all 13 episodes to NBC.com so viewers may immediately consume voraciously...or at their leisure.

Clare got her start starring in the hit series 'Coach' and more recently she was a regular on Starz' series Crash, with Dennis Hopper, the Fox series 'Point Pleasant', ABC Family's 'So Little Time.' She has had recurring roles on Jericho, NCIS, Chuck and Medical Investigation, and many memorable guest star roles including CSI, Revenge, Major Crimes, House MD, Weeds,'Without a Trace, ER, and Grey's Anatomy. Clare has directed short films including "The Hardest Part" and "Girl Power Parking Lot" as well as the critically acclaimed original kids musical, "Princess Bean's Messy World" at the Electric Lodge.

Imagining Brad is NOW PLAYING on Wednesday's through May 27th at 8:00 PM at the Asylum Theatre (6322 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90038). After each performance, the actors will host a Talk Back with a rotation of impressive experts, artists, comedians, and more to create a vibrant discussion on the plays themes: www.imaginingbrad.com. Tickets are $20 at imaginingbrad.brownpapertickets.com.

33 percent of all proceeds will be donated to non-profit agencies that help survivors of domestic abuse and provides outreach to prevent its happening.
