Due to extraordinary demand, the Geffen Playhouse has extended IN & OF ITSELF, the latest production by master storyteller and award-winning magician Derek DelGaudio, for an additional two-week run, now through August 7, 2016 in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater at the Geffen Playhouse. This marks the fourth extension for the unique theatrical experience, officially making it the most commercially successful production the Geffen Playhouse has had in the Audrey Skirball Kenis since the 2012 premier of Nothing To Hide, also by DelGaudio.
Directed by four-time Emmy winner
Frank Oz, featuring original music by
Mark Mothersbaugh, the show is produced by Glenn Kaino, and presented in association with Tom Werner. "Developing this show has been a transformative experience," said DelGaudio, "What began as a deeply personal endeavor has evolved into this remarkable collaboration."
In & Of Itself is a show constructed as a metaphoric labyrinth, filled with allegorical illusions. Audiences are invited to explore themes of identity and paradoxical truths in this radically new theatrical experience. "Imagine what Samuel Becket would have written if he'd been optimistic, American, and a virtuoso magician," said magician Teller after experiencing the show.
Penn Jillette said, "Derek has created the best magic show I've ever seen and that might be damning with faint praise. It's Marcel Duchamp and
Andy Kaufman if they could do perfect bottom deals. It will blow your mind."
Ticket prices start at $75 and are available in-person at the
Geffen Playhouse box office, via phone at
