Anyone in the Los Angeles area looking for some new entertainment might want to check this out.
Video game? Not exactly. Deal? Yes. Keep reading...
NEIGHBORHOOD 3: REQUISITION OF DOOM is the game that has hooked countless players in its third iteration of zombie warfare. The game uses satellite technology to map the neighborhoods and living spaces of those that log into the servers. What was once a simple if stifling subdivision now becomes a nightmarish grid of streets and houses, each one holding the possibility of elevation to the Final Level or the promise of a gruesome end.
The play is a brilliant examination of the boundaries that humans in the west have established for themselves through law, love, and technology. The strict demarcations of the Neighborhood Association are mirrored in the squad-based tactics that will allow one to survive in the video game. The emotional gulf that all-consuming new entertainments can create is hauntingly illustrated time and again as four actors portray sixteen roles that cycle through multiple families in the neighborhood that has been taken over by the game.
NEIGHBORHOOD 3: REQUISITION OF DOOM by Jennifer Haley is directed by Jaime Robledo and stars Eric Johnson, Lynn Odell, Amy Talebizadeh, and Adam Trent. It runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. from March 19 to April 20, 2010 at Sacred Fools Theater, 660 N. Heliotrope Dr., Los Angeles, CA, 90004. Tickets are $20. Phone reservations at (310) 281-8337 or online at www.sacredfools.org.
For the deal, buy tickets through Goldstar.com for $13.50 (including service charge). Here's my referral link to Goldstar if you want to use it to sign up, but you don't have to. I have friends working on the show so I mainly just want to get the word out about it.
