LA's Lounge Theatre Presents Rita O'Farrell's PEDESTRIAN, 4/27-5/27
Pedestrian, a new comedy by Rita O'Farrell, which had its world premiere in the 2011 Hollywood Fringe Festival, will have a limited run at the Lounge Theatre. Directed by Marjo-Riikka Makela, performances will begin on Friday, April 27, with opening set for Sunday, April 29 at 7pm. The limited engagement will run through May 27 only.
Pedestrian is the tale of Sherry and Dennis, a young couple flirting with upwardly mobile status, whose world is suddenly thrown out of balance due to a strange incident on a subway platform. Dealing with circumstances that unsettle what Sherry and Dennis thought was a perfect life, they begin to question when to strive for structure and safety, and when to settle for less. Meanwhile, a collection of very odd and unique plant life makes an unexpected appearance.

The cast of Pedestrian will feature (in alphabetical order) Daniel Ball, Kristyn Chalker, David Collier, Max (a dog), Gary McKee II, Olga O'Farrell,andLuis Sosa. Technical direction is by Daniel Moseid, the lighting design is by Jonathan Daroca, and the stage manager is Mary Naylor.
