Ethan Coen, Wendy Wasserstein, And Shel Silverstein Highlight Foster Cat Productions' Festival Of Jewish Playwrights
The 905 Cole Theater in Hollywood will host a captivating rotation of one-act plays, all of which offer a unique perspective on life, humor, and the human condition.
Foster Cat Productions will present the highly anticipated Festival of Jewish Playwrights, showcasing lesser-known works from three legendary Jewish-American Playwrights: Ethan Coen, Wendy Wasserstein, and Shel Silverstein. Each weekend, the 905 Cole Theater in Hollywood will host a captivating rotation of one-act plays, all of which offer a unique perspective on life, humor, and the human condition.
Audiences will have the rare opportunity to experience the brilliance of these iconic playwrights, whose contributions to American theater, literature, and film have left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape. From the wit and wisdom of Ethan Coen - known for such acclaimed films as The Big Lebowski and No Country For Old Men - to the poignant storytelling of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein, and the irreverent humor of poet Shel Silverstein - creator of beloved children's books like Where the Sidewalk Ends - this festival promises to be a celebration of theatrical excellence. Each show includes mature themes, adult humor, and strong language. The full schedule is as follows:
An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein (80 mins) DATES: Thu, 2/29 - Fri, 3/1 - Sun, 3/10 - Sat, 3/16 - Sun, 3/24 - Fri, 3/29 - Thu, 4/4 - Sat, 4/6
