ASSISTANTS to Play Additional Performances at Actors Company Let Live Theater, 7/9-12

Hollywood must love musical theatre because the world premiere musical comedy Assistants is extending its run. Written by Bryan Blaskie and Manny Hagopian, Assistants premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival to sold-out crowds and received critical acclaim. The musical is adding four more performances.

"I can't believe how much people enjoyed our little show," says Blaskie, who co-wrote the show as a way to combine his love of Hollywood with the theatre styles of New York City. "There are plenty of people in Los Angeles who love musical theatre, and I think they're responding to the fact that they can relate to this particular story. It's not another musical that's New York-centric. It's an LA story."

StageSceneLA, which awarded Assistants the Best Full-length Musical of the Fringe, said, "Anyone who's ever worked as a Hollywood assistant, or temped, or had an entry-level job, or known someone who has done any of the above...is bound to enjoy Bryan Blaskie and Manny Hagopian's fresh, funny, smart, tuneful new musical Assistants." "When I came to Los Angeles to start my career in entertainment, I had no idea what kind of world I was getting into or what kinds of characters I would meet along the way." Time Out Los Angeles listed Assistants as the Number One Can't-Miss Show at the Fringe.

The extension will be at the Actors Company Let Live Theater, located at 916 North Formosa Avenue in Hollywood from July 9 through July 12. Tickets are $15. For ticket reservations and more information, please visit www.assistantsthemusical.com or www.theencoreawards.com/projects/2191.
