“KILL ALL POLITICIANS EXTENDED!"

Los Angeles, CA, June 26, 2016 – It’s official. The Hollywood Fringe Festival’s “Kill All Politicians” is receiving an extension through Theatre Asylum.

Though it’s a first time Fringe appearance for writer-director Thomas Yungerberg, “Kill All Politicians” has been met with resounding acclaim from viewers and critics alike. It’s been hailed as “Bitterly Funny” and “Perfectly capturing the absurdity of American politics through the absurdity of the human condition.”

The play’s two main characters, Stu and Ben, live right in the middle of the overwhelming hurricane that is the American political process: Washington DC. Filled with energy and no purpose, the two roommates often find themselves commenting on the dire condition of contemporary American politics. Apathy, ignorance, and misplaced anger are all on the table for discussion.

However, when Stu gets a parking ticket one fateful evening, the time for talking is over. The two conspire together with the help of their neighbors to create a movement that will change the political landscape in America in ways the country could have never imagined. But as the night goes on, and their plans get bigger, their friendship struggles to survive their midnight revelation.

The play is billed as a comedy, but the ensemble cast is dedicated to letting the heart within the absurdist premise shine through. It pushes the envelope not only in its title but through its blisteringly relevant political conversations, all the while exploring themes of belonging, suffering, and self-worth.

Directed by Thomas Yungerberg, the cast consists of Joshua Verges, Thomas Yungerberg, Chiara McCarty, Chris Hallett, Emma Sleath, and Keshava Betts.

“Kill All Politicians” will be performed in McCadden Place Theatre @ 1157 N McCadden Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90038

Running time: 90 minutes. All performances are $15, with comps available for members of the press upon request.
