I’ll Burn That Bridge When I Come to It & A ‘Post-Apocalyptic’ Home Companion!
Odyssey Theatre Ensemble’s Thresholds of Invention series presents two new works-in-progress by iconoclastic writer/performer Sandra Tsing Loh.
A true story, I’ll Burn That Bridge When I Come to It (An Hilarious Self-Immolation by Sandra Tsing Loh) recounts how Loh’s new play was dropped from Center Theater Group’s 2023 all-female season, only to rip through Los Angeles, New York and London in 16 explosive months. In this TED(x!) talk crossed with a “You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again” for theater, shots are taken at “Tony Award-nominated” (sure!) producers, Actors’ Equity (because it deserves it) and, of course, diversity/equity/inclusion (cue Twitter cancellation) by a pudgy 62-year-old CIS-crone who doesn’t give a f*k any more! Absolutely not supported by the Ford Foundation or Doris Duke Charitable Fund.
A ‘Post-Apocalyptic’ Home Companion!, est. during Omicron Spike 2022, is a “dena” (Pasadena/Altadena/Santa Mon-adena) spin on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” Hosted by Loh, with Roger Neill conducting TACO (Terrible Adult Chamber Orchestra) and a slew of fun surprise guests, the live radio show format features comedy and classic American songs with a twist. In this special “Post-Apocalyptic” (post-election) edition, we will come together to either celebrate the end of a dark era, or to honor our already-proven human resilience and the fact that Costco box wine will always remain super-affordable (at least in Southern California). Come prepared to laugh, cry, and sing (or even play) along — your instruments welcome!
