Los
Angeles: New Scenario Entertainment, Stuff magazine, and
GUESS? are pleased to announce that PIECES (OF ASS), the hit
Off-Broadway
show featuring a series of original monologues from a rotating
cast of beautiful women, will begin performances in Los Angeles
on Wednesday, October 29th at the new Stuff Theatre, located
at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood.
Now playing at China Club in New York City, PIECES… has
received rave reviews and is a smash hit with audiences. The
New York Times wrote that PIECES… was “Delightfully
funny,” and was “directed with a sureness of style
by Brian Howie.” The New Yorker said that PIECES… was “A
uniquely gratifying experience,” and Entertainment Weekly
wrote that the show was “Really, really hot… honest
and hilarious.”
The choice of venue came after an extended West Coast search.
The producers settled on the historic Raleigh Studios, which
has been in operation for 85 years. “This is a unique
show and it requires a unique venue,” said director and
creator Brian Howie. “We are thrilled to be bringing
PIECES out West and look forward to working with the great
people at Raleigh and Stuff magazine.” Wardrobe for PIECES
will be provided by GUESS? GUESS? is one of the most widely
recognized brands in the world. Known for quality, trendsetting
style, and marketing creativity, the company designs and markets
a leading lifestyle collection of casual apparel and accessories.
PIECES (OF ASS) features original monologues which all deal
with themes uniquely common to the physically blessed female,
from the perks and the privileges to the problems and the pressures.
These pieces aim to go beneath the beautiful facade in order
to examine the concept of “hot chick angst.” More
than just a stage show, PIECES… is a complete evening,
with live female DJ’s, short films, and cocktails served
during the performance. Performances are Monday-Saturday at
8pm, from October 29th through November 25th. Tickets and further
show information are available at www.piecesofass.com.
PIECES… is unique among Off-Broadway shows in that the
format allows the producers to mix in special guest stars on
select performances – a “CenterPIECE.” “For
a night or two, it is the perfect environment for an actress
to jump into the rotation and share her unique experiences,
to show a different side of herself, to engage an audience
for a few minutes on a personal level in a fun environment,” says
Mr. Howie. Moving the show to Los Angeles will bring more special
guests than ever before.
