Mr. Marmalade, "an Audience Favorite Noah Haidle's dark comedy draws packed houses to North Hollywood The SRS Production Wing is thrilled to announce that " Mr. Marmalade, " by Noah Haidle, has been extended for two additional weekends !

The second show of the company's freshman season has sold out regularly and quickly, so four performances have been added to the current run as buzz continues to build. Directed by Aubree Bowen on the Stuart Rogers ' Studios stage, the play now runs on Fridays and Saturdays through April 14, continuing in a proud legacy of story - driven intimate theatre. " Mr. Marmalade " is a disturbingly dark and cuttingly witty comedy about childhood, imagination, and the escape from desperate circumstances.

Focusing on a four - year - old girl, her not - altogether - helpful imaginary friend, and the dysfunction of the world around her, Mr. Haidle's text gives ample opportunity to mine for uncomfortable giggles, genuine gut laughs, and surprising moments of pathos. In choosing a play that requires its company to be as nimble as it is profound, the SRS Production Wing is excited to present six talented actors ( playing ten very different characters ) in a biting and whimsical exploration of the joys, creativity, and terrors of childhood.

In her direction of this " smart, incredibly dark comedy, " Bowen aims to explore the " the loss of innocence and also what it means to be lonely, even as a kid. " At a time when many of our socially assumed boundaries seem to be blurring, Bowen focuses the audience's attention on the " many outside factors [ that ] shape us into the people we become, and ... how our beliefs are shaped before we're even really aware what beliefs ARE. " If " a world that blurs between reality and imaginary " sounds uncomfortably familiar in 2018, then audiences are in for a night of wincing laughter and gut - wrenching twists and turns.

" Mr.Marmalade " runs from March 2 to April 14 at Stuart Rogers ' Studios ( 5267 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, 91601 ). Shows start at 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets are available for $ 20 on www.brownpapertickets.com and for $ 25 at the box office, which opens thirty minutes before performances. Parking on neighboring streets is free after 6pm, though subject to limited availability. More information is available at www.srsproductionwing.com.
