Carved in Stone
Jeffrey Hartgraves' Hilarious Play
Comes to Los Angeles Spring 2009!
|
(July 2008) After a triumphant run in San
Francisco, Jeffrey Hartgraves’ stage comedy Carved in Stone comes
to Los Angeles
in Spring 2009.
Los Angeles actors Kevin
Remington (Truman Capote), Jesse Merlin (Oscar Wilde) and Curt Bonnem
(Tennessee Williams) will join original cast members Leon
Acord (Quentin Crisp) and Matthew Martin (Gertrude Stein/Judy
Garland/Bette Davis) for the Los
Angeles run.
Levi Damione will assume the leading role of Gryphon Tott,
originated by David Tenenbaum. T.J. Lee rounds out the cast, playing William Shakespeare, Billy de Wolfe and Alice Toklas.
Hartgraves will direct his script. The show is produced by
Hartgraves, Acord and Laurence Whiting.
“I’m very excited about this cast,” says Acord, who’s also a
co-producer of the upcoming show. “One thing I learned in the San Francisco run is that chemistry is very,
very important. And this new cast has chemistry to burn!”
