"Paris Hilton" (now being played by the magician known as Ago) the play has proven to be as indelible as Paris Hilton the pop-media sensation. Doug Field's comedy, I Love Paris is now extending a third time through December 13th.  Performances, currently in progress, began on Monday, July 26th, and were originally scheduled to end Monday, August 30th at the Blue Heron Arts Center (123 E. 24th St. at Park Avenue South).  It will continue to run Mondays at 8 PM.  Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased by calling (212) 868-4444 or by going to www.smarttix.com.  
 
Italian immigrant and 50-year old magician Ago (who played Wade Garret in the recent Off-Broadway production of Road House) plays Paris Hilton in a one-man show which captures an intimate moment with the world renowned socialite as she prepares to audition for the fifth co-host seat of the ABC daytime television talk show, "The View".  While she waits in the green room, Paris reminisces about her whirlwind life, the high points, the low points and all of the fascinating points in between.  Baring it all like never before--her straight to video performance not withstanding--she takes on even the most controversial topics.
 
Award winning playwright Doug Field is best known to New York audiences for his hit plays, Down South and An Enola Gay Christmas, which just played during the 2003 holiday season.  The New York Times called Down South "Irresistibly silly" while New York Magazine picked An Enola Gay Christmas as one of the "Top Five Holiday Shows" in New York.  His other plays include Jeannie Fitzpatrick Is Angry and C-Cup.  His next play, The Last Generation, debuts this August at the Fritz Blitz Festival of New Plays in San Diego, where he won the Outstanding Playwright Award for his previous entry, The Flower of Dubuque.
 
Director Timothy Haskell recently directed the rock and roll disenfranchisement comedy Corporate Rock also at the Blue Heron.  He created and directed the recent cult hit Road House that transferred from Off-Off Broadway to Off-Broadway at the Barrow Street Theatre earlier this season.
