Macha Theatre/Films Presents BITCHSLAP! West Coast Premiere, 5/19-6/17

MACHA THEATRE/Films presents the West Coast Premiere of BITCHSLAP! by Darrin Hagen, directed by Odalys Nanin.

From Bette Davis' first Oscar win in 1935 to Joan Crawford's death in 1977, these two Hollywood divas waged a bitter personal feud competing for acting roles, top billing, Academy Awards and men. BitchSlap! is a comedic take on the long-running dispute with a memorable behind-the-scenes look at the star's double billing on the 1962 classic “Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?”. Egging on the celluloid luminaries is reigning gossip queen Hedda Hopper, publishing and profiting from her notes on Davis' notorious one-liners and Crawford's sly maneuvering.

Starring C. Stephen Foster, Michael Taylor Gray, Therese McLaughlin and Jeanne Carr, the show plays for a limited run May 19 through June 17. (Dark June 1 & June 2).

The schedule is Friday & Saturday 8pm, Sunday 7pm, June matinees at 3pm - June 3, & 17. Gala Opening Night Party is May 19, Saturday 8pm - Tickets: $40 (appetizers included).

General Admission: $35. Tickets/Reservations: 323-960-7724 or www.plays411.com/bitchslap. Group Sales: 323-314-6332. Macha Theatre/Films, 1107 N. Kings Road West Hollywood, Ca. 90069. www.machatheatre.org.
