WEST COAST PREMIERE AT THE KIRK DOUGLAS THEATRE
Performances Run August 22 through September 16, 2012
Tickets
go on sale Thursday, July 26 for “Elephant Room” at the Kirk Douglas
Theatre. Bringing pure, unadulterated fun and transforming the space
into a mystical place of wonder and amusement, “Elephant Room” runs
August 22 through September 16, 2012. The opening is set for August
26.
The
West Coast premiere of this “enchantingly goofy collaboration” (Alexis
Soloski, Village Voice) by Trey Lyford, Geoff Sobelle and Steve Cuiffo
will star magicians Louie Magic, Daryl Hannah and Dennis Diamond, and
is directed by Paul Lazar.
By
turns fresh, silly and profound, “Elephant Room” is set in a basement
rec room where three semi-pro conjurers hang out and practice their
tricks with varying competence. These self-deluded illusionists are
brimming with childlike wonder and undeserved self-confidence, but
there is something mysterious about their Elephant Room. Things are not
as they seem. “It gets weird, but it’s an enjoyable, laugh-out-loud
kind of weird,” said Gwendolyn Purdom, of the Washingtonian. Eric Grode
of The New York Times said, “. . . their lovable-loser shtick as well
as their nifty skills help turn ‘Elephant Room’ into one of the coolest
places in town."
