The Celebration Theatre production of "Die, Mommie, Die!," which Center Theatre Group is remounting at the Kirk Douglas Theatre as part of the second annual Block Party: Celebrating Los Angeles Theatre, will open Saturday, May 12 at 8 p.m. Written by Charles Busch and directed by Ryan Bergmann, "Die, Mommie, Die!" is currently in previews and will close May 20.
The cast includes, in alphabetical order, Andrew Carter, Tom Detrinis, Drew Droege, Julanne Chidi Hill, Gina Torrecilla and Pat Towne. "Die, Mommie, Die!" has scenic design by Pete Hickok, costume design by Allison Dillard, lighting design by Matthew Brian Denman and sound design by Rebecca Kessin. Original casting is by Jami Rudofsky and Marcedes L. Clanton is the production stage manager.
"Die, Mommie, Die!" is a campy noir classic that follows the devious actions of aging Hollywood star Angela Arden (played by Droege) who is trapped in an unhappy marriage and plots to kill her husband in order to be with her young lover. When Angela's children learn of her plot and seek revenge, madness ensues in this over-the-top comedy.
