WAITING FOR GAL GADOT to Play Hollywood Fringe with Michael Sinterniklaas
Jake Thomas and director Stephanie Sheh lead the cast at The Broadwater Second Stage.
Michael Sinterniklaas (The Venture Bros., Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) will join writer-actor Jake Thomas in WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT at Hollywood Fringe under the direction of Stephanie Sheh (Sailor Moon). Performances will be at The Broadwater Second Stage June 5-28.
An industry in freefall, besieged on all sides by disappearing jobs, a fickle and constantly shifting audience, and the unrelenting specter of Artificial "Intelligence." A writer and a director sit in an A-List star's waiting room and face this onslaught the only way they can: They wait...and they wait...and they wait...
A.I. has been described as an existential threat to the creative community, and so we here at Bespoke Plays have decided to meet that threat head on with a little existentialism of our own. Remixing Samuel Beckett's classic play for our current era, Waiting for Gal Gadot asks the hard hitting questions of our time: What role if any will or should A.I. play in the creative field? How long is too long to wait for your dreams to come true? Is there dignity in failure? How filthy can a monologue get before someone complains? Do two middle-aged cis-het white men have anything worth saying in the year of our increasingly absent Lord 2026? Does anyone?
Rachael Hip-Flores, Eliza Huberth, and Jack Kelly complete the cast which replaces A.I with humans in this raunchy and relatable romp. Come gather for the theatrical communion only live entertainment can provide. We are all facing this world alone. Why not do it together?
BESPOKE PLAYS creates international opportunities for writers with diverse stories and worldviews, by developing new plays in Los Angeles and London, through a process customized to the goals of the writer and readiness of the play.
