New Musical KARMA, THE AWAKENING Opens Next Month at El Portal Theatre

By:

Producer Jason Goldberg today announced the world premiere of Karma, The Awakening, a new musical with book and lyrics by Billie E. Hazelbaker, Bryan N. Barnes, and Jeffrey Rollins and music by Ronn Price , Dan Green, and Barnes. With musical direction by Jerry Danielsen, choreography by Lennon Hobson, and directed by Jason Goldberg, Karma, The Awakening will open on Thursday, February 5 at 8pm and play a strictly limited engagement through March 1.

A generation ago the 'Dawning of the Age of Aquarius' proclaimed a season of "harmony and understanding, sympathy, and trust abounding." We are living in that age and Karma, The Awakening revives the dormant energy of that season. Be reawakened by that energy and witness the Wedding of the Ages-the marriage of science and spirituality. You will be born again and again-and again.

The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Roslyn Cohn, Adam Fox, Katelyn Gault, Alena Henke, Aidan Johnson, Stephen Juhl, Jackson Kendall, PeterMcGlynn, Braddon Mendelson, Bob Moran, Madison Smith, Beth Ann Sweezer, and Jenny Torgerson. All design elements are being coordinated by Jason Goldberg and Jeremiah Whitman. The stage manager is Lyndsay Lucas.

Karma, The Awakening opens on Thursday, February 5 at 8pm and continues through Sunday, March 1 only. The regular performance schedule will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm. General admission seating is $30 with a $25 ticket available for students with valid ID. Tickets may be purchased online at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/941084 or via phone at (818) 508-4200.

The Monroe Forum inside the historic El Portal Theatre is located at 5269 Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood 91601.
