Dear Friends,

I wanted to let you all know that I will be participating in a long-time reading series called "Rant & Rave" on Monday, April 21 at 8 p.m. (next Monday!).

It's hosted by the Rogue Machine Theatre Company at Theatre Theater, at 5041 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90019. The cross street is La Brea. Phone: (855) 585-5185.

Here is the link: www.roguemachinetheatre.com

Each reading has a theme. The night I read will focus on "Prostitution," quite an interesting and challenging topic to write about!

I am honored to be a part of this series, which features readings largely by actors, although some fine poets have appeared in the series too--for example, Douglas Kearney and Brendan Constantine--as well as writers of fiction. This theater has also been named “one of the most vital small theaters in L.A.” by the Los Angeles Times.

The Rant & Rave series, described as "an evening of cathartic thinking by some of the most dangerous minds in the city," is hosted by Ron Bottitta, a fine actor!

And it's produced by John Pollono and Roxanne Hart. John's play "Small Engine Repair" swept the Los Angeles theater awards in 2011, and went on to a larger scale production in New York last year.

If you live in the Los Angeles area, do come!

All best,
Charlotte

I have seen this elsewhere, but am bumping. The event is tomorrow, so everybody put on their Easter bonnet and go stomp and whistle for Charlotte.

Thank you so much, Janice, for bumping this!

Yes, it is tomorrow (Monday, April 20 at 8 p.m.), and I just want to add that if any nearby Sphereans ARE in the neighborhood (Los Angeles) and would like COMP tickets, let me know. I can leave two or three names at the box office.
