EL GATO DEL DIABLO THEATRE COMPANY
PRESENTS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF"THE LEGENDARY AND FABULOUS PASSION PLAY"
JULY 14 - AUGUST 19, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO (June 14, 2006) El Gato Del Diablo Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of THE LEGENDARY AND FABULOUS PASSION PLAY, a new work by Shawn Ferreyra, author of last year's THE RISE AND FALL OF THE MONKEY KING. Set in an underground drag world where legends are made, beauty and dreams triumph over oppression with the help of a misunderstood Messiah who makes the biggest sacrifice for love. Amy Louise Cole will direct. THE LEGENDARY AND FABULOUS PASSION PLAY runs July 14 (press opening: Friday, July 21) through August 19 at the EXIT Stage Left. For tickets ($20), the public may call Brown Paper Tickets at 800-838-3006 or visit www.elgatotheatre.org. THE LEGENDARY AND FABULOUS PASSION PLAY tells the story of star-crossed lovers banned from creating a union because of their sex, the holy messenger who brings us the one truth about love and marriage, and the religious zealots who, like everybody else, are looking for answers in a world that has none.
