New Village Arts will conclude its 2008-09 season with “Four Dogs and a Bone” by award-winning playwright and recent Oscar nominee John Patrick Shanley.
A naive writer, a desperate producer, an embittered actress and a scheming starlet take center stage as they fight tooth and nail for control of a troubled film production. Sex, greed and egotism abound as the four attempt to save their careers and avoid ending up in a straight-to-video art house dog.
The New York Times raves, “If you're going to write a satire about the movie business at this very late date, it had better be very, very funny. In the case of 'Four Dogs and a Bone' … that criterion is most abundantly met.”
The comedy contains adult language and situations and is intended for mature audiences.
Joshua Everett Johnson, an associate artistic director at New Village Arts, directs this brutally hysterical satire of Hollywood. The cast features ensemble members Joshua Everett Johnson, Kristianne Kurner and Amanda Sitton, joined by Actors Equity member Eric Poppick, who was last seen on the New Village Arts stage in Golden Boy.
The play runs June 4?28 at the New Village Arts Theatre, located in the Carlsbad Village at 2787 State St. Tickets range from $25 to $30 and are available by calling the box office at (760) 433-3245 or by visiting www.NewVillageArts.org.
New Village Arts Theatre was founded in April 2001 by graduates of New York's Actors Studio Drama School. It is now in its eighth season of producing award-winning, critically acclaimed theatre in North County.
