Los Angeles. Late 2012. An outbreak of V-86, a virus which turns people into flesh-eating Zombies, has struck. While attempting to leave the city, a Zombie bites Steve’s girlfriend Cassie and she herself becomes a Zombie. Steve learns that a friend has a cure that could turn his girlfriend back to human form. Risking his own life, Steve enters the Zombie Quarantine Zone to find Cassie, give her the cure, and save the woman he loves. Filled with action, humor, and horror, Tainted Love is about Zombies and the humans who love them.

You may remember Kevin J Thornton from previous fringe hits like “Sex, Dreams & Self Control” in 2009 and “I Love You We’re Fucked” in 2011. Now he’s back with his award winning stand-up comedy and music exploring themes of love, sex and the meaning of life! Thornton is a comedian and musician who has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and is a New Faces Winner at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. He was also a guest lecturer at UC Berkeley recently. Pretty classy credits for a guy who’s made a career of juvenile dick jokes.

PSST! Hey! The person standing next to you, are they a boy or a girl? What about you? Are you a boy or a girl? You can only pick one, obviously, and you had better get it right. I’m transgender, which complicates things. This show is about that – my identity and experience as a transgender woman – but it’s about other things, too: apologies, surgery, the equations of sex, the weather (metaphorically speaking), boobs, and more. (PS — Not to brag or anything, but I’ve been described as “charming” and “smart” by the Chicago Tribune. No big deal.)

Meet Rodney Rumple, everyhuman. Really, you will want to meet him. Experience his life, his unflappable spirit, his daily grind — his dreams. This physical theatre modern fable, created by the ensemble cast, explores human existence through the story of one boy — he sallies forth — life, in all its joy and horror, ensues. He sallies forth again. A story told with love, pain and laughter.

QUAKE: A Closet Love Story

Joe and Hannah just broke up. Now they have to divide up years’ worth of collective belongings. But when a huge earthquake hits, they find themselves trapped in a storage closet. Can being confined to such a small space help mend the rift between them? With only each other to rely on, they learn about love and reconciliation, and belt out a cappella songs. Touching, physical and funny!

Directed by Jim Stump

Cast: Justin Baldwin & Lara Miller
