Follow on Google News | The Echo Theater Company presents the L.A. premiere of Peter Sinn Nachtrieb’s comedy “BOB”BOB is a furiously funny, madcap epic that explores the American mythology of happiness and success.
By: Echo Theater Company Originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory, BOB received the 2010 Barrie and Bernice Stavis Award from the National Theatre Conference. It premiered at the Humana Festival for New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville in March 2011. According to Nachtrieb, BOB is “a social satire that roasts the American dream, and celebrates its detritus.” “Bob is fast, ribald and plays like a house afire, while at the same time being very Zen,” says Echo artistic director Chris Fields. “Bob goes on this incredible trek in his quest to become a ‘great’ man, to create his legacy. He suffers all this heartbreak and pain, but in the end all he has to do is look in the mirror. We are all ‘great.’ We just don’t always know it.” Bob opens on Saturday, June 8, continuing through June 30 on Fridays and Saturdays @ 8 pm and Sundays at 7pm. Tickets are $25. Atwater Village Theatre is located at 3269 Casitas Ave in Los Angeles, CA 90039. On-site parking is free. For reservations and information, call (877) 369-9112 or go to www.EchoTheaterCompany.com End
