Magic Meathands Performing One Act Plays at Hermosa Beach
By: Kristin Allard
The Magic Meathands Community Comedy Ensemble will return to Hermosa Beach presenting an evening of great one act plays called 'All in the Timing,' by David Ives, and their signature improvisation games. The performance evenings are September 26th and 27th at 8 PM, at The Hermosa Beach Playhouse Pier Avenue Second Story Theatre, 710 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254. The names of the Ives plays are 'The Philadelphia,' 'The Universal Language,' 'Sure Thing,' and 'Variations of the Death of Trotsky.' Tickets are $12. Call (310) 712-MEAT (6328), for ticket information and reservations.
Director Bill Johnson calls the Meathands a "Com/mune/edy Outreach" group because they perform in "any and every community". What sets the Meathands apart is their connection with the audience and the community they are performing in. They are a community focused troupe and gear their rapid fire routines and play interpretations to the people they are performing for, involving audience members at every opportunity. The result in the audience is sheer joy at having contributed to what was on stage.Author David Ives plays are notable for their verbal dexterity, theatrical invention, and quirky humor. The four one-acts are perfect for the Magic Meathands style of staging and sense of humor. The evening will prove to be fun for the whole family. You can always catch the Meathands every Thursday, 8 PM, at The Spot Café and Lounge, 4455 Overland Avenue, Culver City, CA. 90230. Admission is only $5, which besides getting you in, gives you a 20% discount on featured food on the menu. Call (310) 559-8868 for further information or visit their website at www.magicmeathands.com
