Outbursts

June 6th - July 12th

Fridays and Saturdays @ 8:00 and 10:00

The Situation: In the bustling city of New York, 17 dead poets began their search for an inexpensive and creative way to share their takes on life and love with the living. Unfortunately, simple mind possession isn't what it used to be, and that "Sixth Sense" kid is just too damn busy these days. Someone like Britney Spears would have been nice and high profile, but with all her antics, who would believe it and what would be the point?

Consider Gordon James, a not-so-famous actor, whose mind was a blank page waiting to be typed on. He wasn't bad on the eyes either. He was an easy target for possession. It was a match made in heaven, or at least Hell's Kitchen.

The Result: Seventeen dead poets will inhabit one human body to discuss life, love, and trying to get a cab in the big city. But be forewarned: We are not responsible for any parts of you revealed during this experience!

Touched in the Head

Touched In The Head of Elizabeth Otero is a comedic "recital" of sorts for writer Elizabeth Otero. Some could call it her master thesis in comedy writing, had she ever bothered to pursue such an academic endeavor. The show is a compilation of her latest and a couple of her greatest video and stage sketch comedy pieces to date. The pieces vary from, McCain's War on Toddler Obesity (enough said) to Cat Rape, a plea from Rhonda Helpme to "stop this heinous crime". Some of the sketches are humorous just for the sake of humor, such as Dirty Harry Potter and some amusingly express Elizabeth's views on certain female and social issues, such as Sex Ed with Dolores Torres, Substitute PE Teacher and Happy Hour Moms-Part Dos. The only theme amongst the 16 sketches is, funny! And after meeting Elizabeth (who is also one of the performers) and watching her words in live form, you certainly will agree with the title of this show.

Elizabeth Otero is a native New Mexican, pursuing the L.A. dream. She is currently an apprentice staff writer on the Disney series, “My Friends Tigger & Pooh.” Previously she was staffed as a writer on the LATV sketch comedy series, “The Homies Hip Hop Show.” Elizabeth received her degree in Theatre from the University of New Mexico where she wrote her first full-length play, Gas. Gas received the Kennedy Center Si TV Playwriting Award and is being marketed by Dramatic Publishing. Elizabeth also received an internship at the O’Neill Theater Center’s National Playwrights Conference where she learned from many theatre professionals, including famed playwright, August Wilson, who gave Otero feedback on her second full-length play, Land of Enchantment. LOE recently had a professional reading at the Ford Amphitheatre during their Summer Play Readings at “Inside the Ford.” Elizabeth has done much sketch comedy, primarily at Casa0101, writer, Josefina Lopez’s theatre arts space in Boyle Heights. Elizabeth was a participant in the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s Television Writers Program, sponsored by NBC and ABC, where she developed spec television scripts. Elizabeth is an avid lover of great comedy, her influences being Saturday Night Live, Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Chris Farley, Monty Python, Lucille Ball, and Seinfeld. She’d love to have Tina Fey’s career. Elizabeth loves her family, Bill, and Venus, her precious cat.
