POISON APPLE Plays Space 916 in Hollywood Thru 8/20

Dancing Barefoot Productions and 134 West Productions have announced the return engagement of Poison Apple at Space 916 in Hollywood, through August 20 only. The play comes directly from its sold out world premiere at Celebration Theatre in last month's Hollywood Fringe Festival. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and the one-act play runs 70 minutes with no intermission.

Poison Apple is a psycho-sexy, tragic love story. Based on true events that took place in Hell's Kitchen in New York City, this frightening tale follows two men who are forced to confront their innermost demons and, ultimately, take unimaginable action. Of the world premiere during the Fringe, Back Stage called the play, "Ominous ... harrowing ... seductive." And LATheatreReview.com said, "A Hitchcockian game of cat and mouse with Grimm results. Edge of your seat thrills."

Sean Galuszka is a writer, performer, singer, and songwriter. He graduated from Syracuse University with a triple major in acting, directing, and English. On stage in Los Angeles, he originated the role of Leo in the American premiere of F-ing Men at Celebration Theatre. He has also appeared in a revival of The Boys in the Band at the Coast Playhouse and the Los Angeles premiere of K2. Galuszka's television and film credits include Taming the Wild West: The Legend of Jedediah Smith (TNT), Water for Elephants, Miracles, and The Ghost Whisperer. Chris Sams has been seen locally in the GLAAD Award-winning production of Revolver and The Boys in the Band, among others, and director Susan Lambert received an LADCC Award nomination for her work on An Appalachian Twelfth Night.
