NIGHTINGALE Stage Adaptation Comes to Atwater Village Theatre 

STARVING ARTISTS US to make their LA debut production with the world premiere of NIGHTINGALE by Frederick Mensch - a stage adaptation of HBO’s 2014 film by the original screenwriter. This one person play features Lance A. Williams as PETER (I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Kevin Can F*** Himself, & Equalizer 2), and is directed by Brandon Mendez Homer (the LADCC award-winning Uncle Vanya (Pasadena Playhouse) The Pitt (Max), The First Deep Breath (Geffen Playhouse))

In NIGHTINGALE, Peter Snowden is the grocery clerk bagger. The one standing at the end of your conveyor belt. A funny, lovable man with a smile, but privately – he’s an army veteran wrestling with his identity after a life altering decision. With his heart on his sleeve, Peter spirals through phone calls and vlogs that are his cries for help in the digital void.
