Go West, Young PIECES – The Off-Broadway Hit Moves To Los Angeles!

Pieces (of Ass)

Conceived and Directed by Brian Howie

L.A. Performances Begin Wednesday, October 29th at Raleigh Studios, Hollywood

NEWS – 9/23/03:

New Scenario Entertainment is pleased to announce that PIECES (OF ASS), a series of original monologues from a rotating cast of beautiful women, will begin performances in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 29th at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood California.

Now playing at the China Club in New York City, PIECES… has received rave reviews and is a smash hit with audiences.  The New York Times wrote that PIECES… was “Delightfully funny”, and was “directed with a sureness of style by Brian Howie”.  The New Yorker said that PIECES… was “A uniquely gratifying experience”, and Entertainment Weekly wrote that the show was “Really, really hot…honest and hilarious.”

The choice of venue came after an extended West Coast search.  The producers settled on the historic Raleigh Studios, which has been in operation for 85 years.  “This is a unique show and it requires a unique venue,” said director and creator Brian Howie.  “We are thrilled to be bringing PIECES out West and look forward to working with the great people at Raleigh.”

PIECES (OF ASS) features original monologues which all deal with themes uniquely common to the physically blessed female, from the perks and the privileges to the problems and the pressures.  These pieces aim to go beneath the beautiful façade and examine the concept of "hot chick angst."  More than just a stage show, PIECES…is a complete evening, with female DJ’s, short films, and drinks served during the performance.

PIECES… is unique among off-Broadway shows in that the format allows the producers to mix in special guest stars on select performances- a “CenterPIECE”.  “For a night or two, it is the perfect environment for an actress to jump into the rotation and share her unique experiences, to show a different side of herself, to engage an audience for a few minutes on a personal level in a fun environment”, says the show’s director and creator, Brian Howie.  Moving the show to Los Angeles will bring more special guests than ever before.

New Scenario Entertainment is a New York-based production company which pursues opportunities in all facets of the entertainment industry including film, television, stage, and national events.  The company’s feature film, “Mob Mentality”, is scheduled for completion later this year.
