A VERY DIE HARD CHRISTMAS and MET AGAIN Return For Encore Performances at Hollywood Fringe

Theatre Unleashed had one of its most successful appearances at Hollywood Fringe ever, with the world premiere of Met Again, the comedic and cathartic love story by playwright and Co-Artistic Director Jacob Smith, earning both Top of Fringe and Fringe First nominations, and the wildly popular spoof A Very DIE HARD Christmas, bringing home the Best Comedy award!

Now both shows are back for two more performances each this coming weekend at studio/stage.

In A Very DIE HARD Christmas, a team of terrorists has seized a building, taken hostages, and declared war. One man has managed to escape. An off-duty cop hiding somewhere inside. He's alone, tired...and he doesn't like Christmas. Action, humor, Professor Snape taking people hostage, singing, dancing, the guy from Family Matters, guns, puppets, explosions, the EPA guy from Ghostbusters getting punched in the face, Christmas miracles and familiar holiday friends galore. Maybe even an appearance by the legend himself, Santa Claus! This is much more than a stage version of the holiday classic Die Hard, (which celebrates its 30th anniversary this summer), its parody at its best.

Met Again, a moving new play by Smith, takes a look at the entirety of a unique but familiar relationship, from beginning to end, and how those big and small moments, connections, talks, fights, celebrations and experiences all come to mean something more. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes completely heartbreaking, Met Again is like watching a collection of home movies on fast forward...with someone whom you share a special kind of love.

Life goes by fast, and all you'll remember are the most important parts, especially when it comes to someone you love. But those meaningful relationships are often truly defined by the little moments in between. Met Again, a moving new play by Jacob Smith, takes a look at the entirety of a unique but familiar relationship, from beginning to end, and how those big and small moments, connections, talks, fights, celebrations and experiences all come to mean something more. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes completely heartbreaking, Met Again is like watching a collection of home movies on fast forward...with someone whom you share a special kind of love.

A Very DIE HARD Christmas
Written by Josh Carson
Directed by Gregory Crafts

In A Very DIE HARD Christmas, a team of terrorists has seized a building, taken hostages, and declared war. One man has managed to escape. An off-duty cop hiding somewhere inside. He's alone, tired...and he doesn't like Christmas. Come get a little holiday cheer in June as Theatre Unleashed brings back one of its most popular shows for a short but wild summer run. Action, humor, Professor Snape taking people hostage, singing, dancing, the guy from Family Matters, guns, puppets, explosions, the EPA guy from Ghostbusters getting punched in the face, Christmas miracles and familiar holiday friends galore. Maybe even an appearance by the legend himself, Santa Claus! This is much more than a stage version of the holiday classic Die Hard, its parody at its best. Yippee Ki-Yay, Father Christmas!
