TRAINSPOTTING Extends thru 6/2 at Elephant Theatre

seat of your pants Productions extends its acclaimed production of Trainspotting, a guest production at the Elephant Theatre, through June 2.

A disturbing, gruesome and darkly funny stage adaptation by Harry Gibson of the cult novel by Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting is not for the faint of heart. Featuring profanity, nudity, cigarette smoking, simulated sex and drug use, it's a bleak, black, tragically humorous tale of a wasted generation, a journey to the heart of a world peopled by psychos and junkies.

Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and LA Weekly award-winning director Roger Mathey directs David Agranov, Katie Aquino, Sam Bangs, Sarah Allyn Bauer, Martin George Berishaj, AJ Jones, Elizabeth Knowelden, Libby Letlow, Michael Lutheran, Francesca Manzi, Travis McHenry, Martin J. Riddell, Jonathan Roumie, Katy Townsend, Matthew Tully, Karl Wade, Alison Walter, Ben Wilson and Justin Zachary.

Scenic design for Trainspotting is by Jason Rupert; lighting design is by Michael Mallinson; original music and sound design are by James Dethlefsen and Brian Palla; costume design is by Traci LaDue; and fight choreography is by David Agranov.

Trainspotting continues through June 2, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays @ 8 pm and Sundays @ 7 pm. Tickets are $20 on Fridays and Saturdays, and $15 on Sundays.
