Ammunition Theatre Company will present a staged reading of Bonobos by company member, Lina Patel on June 10th at Atwater Village Theater in Los Angeles. Directed by AMMO company member, Tina Huang, Bonobos is a dark ensemble comedy about female friendship and toxic masculinity set on one suburban night that spirals into surreal crisis.
