FRESH PRODUCE'd LA has announced the world premiere of Friends in Transient Places by Jonathan Caren, directed by Katherine Vondy and produced by Amelia Phillips and Heather Boothby.

Featuring: Percussion and Composition by Quentin Jones; Set Design by Katie-Bell Kenney; Lighting Design by Lauren Wemischner; Sound Design by Benjamin Watt; Costume design by Melissa Trn; Props by Carissa Pinckney; and Stage Manager Jonas Newhous.
