One for the Chipper by Adam SeidelOver the years, Pick of the Vine has accumulated a loyal following, evident in the growing audiences. Last year, the count was over 1,050 -- remarkable since the Little Fish Theatre seats only 65 at a time. As in the past two seasons, this production is expected to sell out most performances.
The artistic team at Little Fish Theatre undertakes an arduous process making each year's selection from submitted manuscripts -- 592 this year -- carefully culling through to identify the choice moments of dramatic and comedic impact that make a mini-play ripe for the Pick of the Vine lineup. This year, script submissions came from Canada, Taiwan, Wales, England, Australia, Brazil, Macedonia, Korea, and Uzbekistan; but the final 2013 selections were all submitted by US writers. Likewise, the drama of the selected plays is built on the full range of human experience -- casual indifference, missed opportunity, comic ignorance, brave defiance -- through birth and death and everything in between.
Founded in 2002, Little Fish Theatre presents classic and contemporary plays in an intimate setting on Centre Street in downtown San Pedro. Producing eleven plays each year for a one-room 65-seat venue, Little Fish delivers the quintessential close-up theatrical experience, where audience and performers share space and sight-lines, making for eruptive laughter, highly-charged action and palpable emotion.
