After sold out runs across the country, Drew Droege (Drunk History, Bob's Burgers, and the internet's "Chloe") returns to Los Angeles due to demand, high on the heels of a run in New York at the Barrow Street Theater, with Bright Colors And Bold Patterns at the Celebration Theatre (6760 Lexington Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038) from September 26 through November 14, every Monday at 8pm.

Written and performed by Drew Droege and Directed by Michael Urie, Bright Colors And Bold Patterns is a riotous new solo play that storms the stage with ferocity and wit, called a "sidesplitting rant on gay marriage" and "hilariously expressive minimalist perfection" by critics (Annenberg Digital News, Stage Happenings LA) from its previous Los Angeles engagement originally directed by Molly Prather with The Solo Collective at VS Theatre.

Josh and Brennan are about to get married in Palm Springs on a lovely Saturday afternoon. However, the night before becomes a drunken, drug-fueled scream riot, because their friend Gerry has arrived, furious that their invitation says "please refrain from wearing bright colors or bold patterns". In the struggle for equality, what do we really want? What do we lose? And is there any cocaine left?

Looking forward to collaborating with Droege, Urie says: "Los Angeles is already in love with Drew Droege and now he's bringing his brilliant play back! The Celebration Theater is the perfect home for Bright Colors And Bold Patterns, I cannot wait for Drew to tear it up on their stage."

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and are available online at www.celebrationtheatre.com/ or by calling (323) 957-1884. For more information visit www.celebrationtheatre.com.
