South Coast Repertory's Artistic Directors David Emmes and Martin Benson will close their production of Doctor Cerberus, a new play by HBO's 'Big Love' and Marvel Comics' 'Spiderman' writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and its World Premiere on May 2nd.

In South Coast Repertory's truly excellent World Premiere play DOCTOR CERBERUS (with performances continuing through May 2), playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa takes us back to the mid-1980's to witness the witty coming-of-age tale of one young awkward teen who is just a tad smarter than his years will allow. This, like in all misfits, causes him to be quite anguished by the very nature of his uniqueness in the world. Factor in a standard-issue dysfunctional family that can't quite understand him, and you have the makings of a winning narrative that has plenty of laughs, pathos and enough poignant moments that has us rooting for our hero to make it through to the end unscathed. Growing up different is scary. More broadly, life itself is scary.

South Coast Repertory has lined up a slate of talented actors and directors to bring to life the five staged readings in this year's 13th annual Pacific Playwrights Festival (PPF), which takes place April 23-25.
