After picking up their BEST PRODUCTION awards (Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, LA Weekly, Garland, and Ovation) Rogue Machine proudly returns, with over 45 award nominations, offering four plays never before seen in Los Angeles.

First up, opening May 26, 2012, will be the West Coast Premiere of Where The Great Ones Run by Mark Roberts (creator of Mike and Molly, and Rantoul and Die). This show is scheduled through July 14th and will run simultaneously with the West Coast Premiere of Enda Walsh’s New Electric Ballroom (Fringe First Award), slated to open June 9th. A Bright New Boise, from 2011 Obie Award winning playwright Samuel D. Hunter will be staged in September, marking the West Coast Premiere. The World Premiere of Henry Murray’s (Monkey Adored and Treefall) new play Three Views Of The Same Object (Woodward/Newman Award) will be presented in October.

The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle awarded Rogue Machine the 2011 Polly Warfield Award for an excellent season in a small to mid-size theater, funded by the Nederlander Organization.

John PerriN FLYNN (Producer/Artistic Director) was recently honored with a Career Achievement award by the LA Weekly. He directed the critically acclaimed World Premiere production of Henry Murray’s Monkey Adored (CRITIC’S PICK-Backstage, GO – LA Weekly) and the Los Angeles premiere of The Sunset Limited, (CRITIC’S CHOICE-LA Times; GO – LA Weekly, CRITIC’S PICK-Backstage, Ovation RECOMMENDED), which ran for four months of sell-out performances. John directed the multi-award winning World Premiere of Henry Murray’s Treefall (now being produced regionally and published by the Dramatist Play Service), and the Los Angeles premiere of Rogue Machine’s inaugural production Compleat Female Stage Beauty. He helmed the Craig Lucas’ hit Small Tragedies at The Odyssey Theatre and the world premiere of award winning playwright John Pollono’s Lost and Found at The Lounge Theatre.
