JESUS RIDE JOINS BEST OF FRINGE EXTENSIONS

JESUS RIDE

For Immediate Release

JESUS RIDE WINS BEST OF FRINGE EXTENSION

WINNER – OUTSTANDING SOLO SHOW & BEST OF FRINGE – FRINGE NYC

The Son of God and the Son of TV Writer return to the Lounge 2 Theater this weekend for a “second-coming” engagement:

Saturday, July 6 @ 8pm & Sunday, July 7 @ 7pm

Kyle Gass of Tenacious D: “If Spaulding Gray and Eric Bogosian mated while blazing on acid then spawned an illicit love child, and if the fruit of their loin spent his entire childhood reading Shopenhauer and watching Marx Brothers movies, he would probably grow up to be Mike Schlitt, who is my own personal Jesus! See this show and learn the true meaning of theater.

LA Examiner: “For once you can believe the hype. This show is a masterpiece of storytelling… Michael can join the elite ranks with his show, which is funny, serious, cynical, triumphant. A tour de force performance that must be seen by all Fringe lovers.” (Bob Leggett)

LA Bitter Lemons: “…a genuinely thrilling deconstruction of Hollywood, the ‘Cinematic Savior’, and the stories we tell ourselves growing up.” (Kat Primeau)

The Tidings (official publication of Arch Diocese of Los Angeles): “It’s an adage long known to actors and playwrights – the best plays are always about truth. Mike Schlitt’s account of his early life and adventures in Hollywood along with the memories of his father is truth at its most hilarious – and most touching. The hour and a half spent on the “Jesus Ride” is one of the finest theatrical experiences you’ll ever enjoy.” (Sean M. Wright)

LA Weekly: “Go. A richly Satisfying Show” (Neal Weaver)

KCRW: ““Brilliant” (Anthony Byrnes)

LA Times: “Funny and slyly perceptive” (Philip Brandes)

NY Times: 
“Divine Absurdity” (Jason Zinoman)

Village Voice: 
“I saw God!” (Alexis Soloski)
