Trickster at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026

Trickster weaves together a series of mythical tales from around the world to explore the mischievous and profound aspects of the trickster archetype. The show is directed by Sarah Painter and features a script by David Bridel, a multi-award-winning artist whose credits span productions at The Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles Opera, Classic Stage in New York, the Kennedy Center, and international venues. The artistic team includes Art Directors Jessika Pilkes and Stefan Rambousek, dramaturgy and assistant direction by Jess Esa, music by Steve Duchardt, and lighting design by Camille Roberts. An initial run at The Stomping Ground LA in Fall 2025 was a sell-out hit.
