Photos: First Look at Tony Award Winner Paul Sand's THE PILOT WHO CRASHED THE PARTY
Performances continue through May 7.
Something mysterious is going on. Danger, not out of the question. Something... funny. Add a classical string duo. Written and directed by Tony Award-winning actor and Second City alum Paul Sand, the world premiere of The Pilot Who Crashed the Party has opened at Hollywood's Broadwater Theatre.
Check out photos from the production below!
Sand's off-beat homage to the drawing room dramas of the '30s is set in the Santa Monica Mountains on a violent, stormy night filled with rain, lightning and thunder. The streets outside the mansion where Sally (Jacqueline Wright) is celebrating her 50th birthday are narrow, winding and newly full of mud - when a pilot in a small, single engine plane (Sol Mason) literally crashes the party.
Who, exactly, is this surprise guest? Friends at the intimate soirée, including Daniel (Lee Boek), Laura (Claudia Ferri) and Ilo (Francis C. Edemobi) are suspicious. The caterer (Debra Lane) might be in love. The evening's musicians (Yennie Lam on violin and Chris Rorrer on cello) continue to entertain, even as they sip wine from its new perch on the plane wing now hovering over the dining room table. A ninth cast member, Marcia Lynn Anthony, makes an appearance later in the play.
Performances continue through May 7. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to www.onstage411.com/Pilot.
