Current Season

As we continue our mission to produce new and original comedies in a professional setting, highlighting the talents of theatre artists, we are pleased to announce our new and improved (and seriously rebranded) annual new play reading festival, The Circle of Laughter, at The Addison Performing Arts Center in the Studio Theater. This year, we have four plays by playwrights from around the world. From Dallas to Australia, we have gathered four gems that can’t be missed.

Big Mouth Thunder Thighs, by Bess Welden, is a solo vaudeville about body and food that intertwines memoir storytelling with a highly theatrical, unpredictable, and outrageously entertaining variety show featuring: a trash-talking puppet, stand-up comedy, singing, dancing, spoken-word poetry, plus five “Death-Defying Acts.” It’s an endearingly funny one-woman extravaganza about how we deal with our inner critics and what it takes for us to accept ourselves. 

There’s never a good time to find yourself on the roof, twelve flights above the sidewalk, not sure if you’re alone. And a cold midnight, in the fog, two months after the sudden death of a big shot detective who just happens to be your father? It’d be hard to come up with a worse. Will Hamlet discover the truth of his father’s death, keep his mother from marrying a potential killer and hold on to the love of his secretary Rae Chio? And what’s better for the City of Angels, justice or violent revenge?
