Description

Three Los Angeles based theatre makers dissect, debate and disseminate works of the great Playwrights as well as anything and everything of, or related to, the art of Theatre. Main Feed: Each week the nerds get together and discuss 3 plays by a specific playwright as well as their cultural impact and context in the hosts' own personal lives. Also they spotlight the beautifully burgeoning LA Theatre Scene as it grows into the new home for experimental theatre makers. Bonus Series: Between each Playwright a bonus series called Theatre Theater 'N Stuff! provides a break from play reading. The nerds get to choose a theatre adjacent topic for discussion. Always interesting, sometimes vulgar and never too serious these three friends may just convince you to like reading plays again. Cj Merriman - Sacred Fools Theatre Company Scott Leggett - Sacred Fools Theatre Company J. Bailey Burcham - Pasadena Playhouse, Sacred Fools Theme by Ryan Thomas Johnson Original Music by Pam Quinn Produced and Edited by Scott Leggett Social Media by J. Bailey Burcham Special thanks to Sacred Fools Theatre Company, Pasadena Playhouse, Audioboom, and The Broadwater Plunge in Hollywood.

SPOTLIGHT! on Edward G. Excaliber - Winner of the 2024 Theatre Theater Playwright Award

2025/06/09

Edward G. Excaliber is a Los Angeles-based, Miami-born Puerto Rican writer, a sci-fi/fantasy videogaming nerd who blends his darkly comedic, self-deprecating voice with emotionally sincere characters, focusing on grounded, personal stories in elevated genre worlds. The youngest of three, his passion for writing began at an early age, writing comic books, poems and lyrics, shifting to narrative storytelling in college, where he wrote and directed numerous stage plays. He transitioned to writing for film and television while attending the AFI Conservatory, earning an MFA in Screenwriting. Edward is an alum of the NBC Writers on the Verge and National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) writing programs. In 2024, Edward won the Hollywood Fringe Festival Theatre Theater Playwright Award for a one-act farce he penned. He’s written episodes of Parcast’s lost treasure podcast series, Gone. He’s worked as a story analyst for Sony Pictures, Amblin, Austin Film Festival and Coverfly. Edward has twice been selected for the Read Latinx Initiative. Currently, Edward’s learning to play guitar, practicing amateur archery and developing new projects. socials: (IG) @edwardexcaliber / @638play

Artist Spotlight - Mandy Rubeli

2024/05/09

Mandy Rubeli (she/they) is a multifaceted artist who strives to create work that is absurd, existential, and somehow, still a little funny. Mandy got her BFA in Acting from Emerson College in December 2020, and has recently shifted to a deeper focus on writing and directing. The Hollywood Fringe Veteran wrote and co-directed the hit Arizona Rain, receiving the 2023 Hollywood Encore Producer Award and a nomination in the top five for several other categories. This year Mandy is workshopping her newest piece at the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival this summer, Dinosaurs, which is being written as we speak. She is currently looking forward to the support, community, and constructive criticism Fringe offers in order to help better her craft.
