The cast will include Martina Lotun, Ann Moller, Elizabeth V. Newman and Brett Schneider as "Great."
"Orange Lemon Egg Canary is a love story about obsession, revenge, and above all, magic. Great, a troubled young magician, is running from his past, the beautiful assistant that betrayed him, and the trick that tore them apart. He soon befriends Trilby, a waitress with a passion for magic, and initiates her into his haunted world: a place where cards change color, coins disappear, objects float and love is the biggest illusion of all. When a bitter secret is revealed and magic becomes a matter of life and death, their love is put to the test and Great realizes that he might not have been the one holding the cards all along," explain press notes.Performances will be presented at The East Theatre of The Complex, 6476 Santa Monica Boulevard (between Wilcox Avenue and Cole Avenue), Hollywood, CA, 90038.
