Mutant Olive at Hudson Theatres

Writer/performer Mitch Hara returns to L.A. with a newer and even more outrageous version of his hilarious, heart-wrenching, multiple award-winning signature play. Father and son forgiveness is at the core of Hara’s manic, brave, tour-de-force performance as Adam Astra, an actor whose past seems to constantly seep into his present. Set during what turns out to be a truly cringe-worthy audition, Astra relays tales of his soul-sucking childhood, monstrous substance abuse, rampant sex, crashed cars, an out of body experience and a black cape — even as he tries out for his dream role in Hamilton: Unplugged. Every Tuesday at 8 p.m., March 7 through April 11 at the 6359 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038; $20; tickets and info at www.onstage411.com/mutant
