Ross Valley Players' RAW 2014 Fall Festival to Feature ALCATRAZ THE ISLAND OF LOVE, 10/17-26
ROSS VALLEY PLAYERS presents their RAW (Ross Alternative Works) 2014 Fall Festival, October 17 through 26, featuring the World Premiere Production of Alcatraz the Island of Love, a romantic Sci-fi musical comedy. Book is by Zazu Lein, lyrics by Billie Cox. Each season, RAW presents two festivals of short works or full-length plays, selected for their quality and originality. Each play is a short run, black box production with minimal set pieces but with full sound and lighting. Alcatraz the Island of Love is directed by Billie Cox. www.rossvalleyplayers.com
It's 1973 and ferryboats carry tourists from San Francisco to the Island of Alcatraz for the very first prison tour just as two beautiful Goddesses from the planet Venus crash land. Vonda (Shari Clover) and Vita (Lisa Hart), decide to honor their sacred Venusian code and stick around on a mission to spread the love just as two young people on a blind date, Marco (D. Seerley Gowland) and Jade (Trungta Kositchaimongklo), struggle to make a love match. Adding to the magic is Marco's matchmaking mother, Gina (Leslie Klor), and her 90-year-old sister, Aunt Teresa (GiGi Anber Tasse), who rent a helicopter to land on Alcatraz to spy on Marco's date. All these forces transform Alcatraz from an island of despair into Alcatraz, the island of love.
