GIDEON PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS
LIGATURE MARKS

WRITTEN BY MAC ROGERS
DIRECTED BY JORDANA WILLIAMS

JUNE 9 – 18 @ THE STEPHANIE FEURY STUDIO THEATER

Gideon Productions (NYIT Outstanding Premiere Production of a Play Award for Advance Man) presents the West Coast Premiere of playwright Mac Rogers’ (The Honeycomb Trilogy; Frankenstein Upstairs) dark comedy LIGATURE MARKS, June 9-18 at The Stephanie Feury Studio Theater (5636 Melrose Avenue) as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The production will be directed by Jordana Williams (The Honeycomb Trilogy; Frankenstein Upstairs) and will feature Rebecca Comtois (Viral; Crystal Skillman’s Geek! with Vampire Cowboys) and Mac Rogers (NYIT Outstanding Lead Actor Nominee for The Adventures of Nervous-Boy with Nosedive Productions).

Jill can’t live without Terry. So it’s up to both of them—and Terry’s favorite online multi-player game, NOIR—to make sure she never has to. This noir comedy from the critically acclaimed, award-winning author The Honeycomb Trilogy and Viral charts a twisted romance between two of life’s losers as they take one final last shot to be something other than who they are.

Ligature Marks will run June 9 at 8:30pm, June 14 at 8:30pm, June 15 at 7pm, June 16 at 8:30pm, & June 18 at 8:30pm as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival at The Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre (5636 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90004). Tickets ($12) go on sale May 1st. The show will run 75 minutes with no intermission.

Critical acclaim for Gideon Productions:

“Television is where you find complicated storytelling. Film is the home of epic sci-fi trilogies. Giant aliens are expensive. Mac Rogers’s “Honeycomb Trilogy,” a titanic story about humanity in crisis wedged into a small theater in Queens, laid waste to these truisms, and provided giddy, cerebral fun along the way.” The New York Times

“One of the most intelligent and complex theatrical events of the year.” Flavorpill

GIDEON PRODUCTIONS crafts gripping plays that explore what’s strange about being human and what’s human about being strange, using familiar genres and cultural touchstones as a springboard to something wholly unexpected.
