FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE
Go West, Young PIECES – The Off-Broadway Hit Moves
To Los Angeles!
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.
