Polite Conversations and Wine at The Broadwater Black Box

Looking back, was it something you said or something you did? And why can we never remember things in order? Wine’ll do that. So will family. Mix them together…and just hope the stains’ll come out of the rug. Theatre Ghosts presents Michael Perlmutter’s Polite Conversations and Wine, a memory play, under the direction of Los Angeles all-star and favorite, Ann Noble. Starring Amy Marcs, Leah Jarvik, Mikki Hernandez, and Robin McDonald. Performances take place at the Broadwater Black Box Theatre in Hollywood from June 8 through June 27 as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2025.

Twentieth Century mothers and twenty-first century daughters. And Wine. What could possibly go wrong?

Produced by Michael Perlmutter and Carolina Rodriguez (Theatre Ghosts), returning to the Hollywood Fringe for a third round after two award-winning years Haunting Rights (2023) and A Bella Incarceration (2024), both also directed by Ann Noble.
