Lost Our Space--not our way

Those of you who have become part of the Unknown Theater family over the years know that we've had our ups and downs but we've always pushed forward creating some of the best and most exciting theater in Los Angeles. It's been five years to the day since I opened the theater at 1110 Seward, but tomorrow, Thursday July 15th, marks the end of our home there.

TONIGHT Help us close the old space with a bang!

Thursday at 8pm - Award-winning performance artist and NEA badboy John Fleck debuts two daring and riotous performance pieces: In "A Fowl Wet Dream," Fleck takes an Ambien and dreams he's a duck-an ugly duck saved from an abusive father by his mother (Mother Goose), who gives him a Dream Parchment and tells his ugly fowl self to fly away to an UNKNOWN pond where he will meet his dream man who will pluck him and be the catalyst for his American dream to come true. The evening is rounded out with "Globesity," in which Fleck envisions the American dream catered by Trader Joe's and saturates the audience with T.J. products.

Thursday at 10pm - Bands Bands Bands! All our old friends from years of 5th Wall shows are coming to play us out of our old space. Be there to bring the house down. It will be the end of an era not to be missed.

This is hardly the end of Unknown Theater, however. In less than 12 hours, we lost our space at 1110 Seward, but through the generosity of so many of you, we managed to find a new space to set down roots (literally: we're taking up the stage and moving it). We should be ready to open our next show, Mondo Don Juan, on schedule on August 20!

On a more personal note, I want to thank you for your help and support and participation over the last five years, which has made Unknown Theater more than a venue, but also a community. We've lost our current space, true. But we haven't lost our way. Stay tuned for more news about Mondo Don Juan by Michael Sargent opening August 20 in the new space in downtown LA. Until then... see you in the Unknown.
