FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS WHITEWASH IN SKIN JOBS

Skin Jobs

New play about diversity, superhero movies, and two women trying to maintain careers in the film industry premieres May 31 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

Los Angeles — SKIN JOBS, a new play about whitewashing in superhero blockbusters from the director of the acclaimed Obama-meets-Trump play TRANSITION, will make its world premiere May 31, 2018 at The Broadwater in the Hollywood Fringe Festival. SKIN JOBS will run five shows, with closing night set for June 20.

In SKIN JOBS, Kerri (Virginia Tran), an Asian-American visual effects artist in the film industry, has her values tested and career endangered when her best friend Viv (Claire Fazzolari), a white reporter covering Hollywood, threatens to expose the top-secret (and racially problematic) project her firm is working on.

SKIN JOBS is the third world premiere staged at the Hollywood Fringe Festival by director Lee Costello following her productions of LOS ANGELYNE and THE PORTABLE DOROTHY PARKER. SKIN JOBS also marks the Hollywood Fringe debut of Jim Vejvoda, a playwright and journalist with over ten years of experience covering the film industry, where he has chronicled the rise of comic book movies from niche genre to the dominant force at the global box office. 

All performances are in the Studio at The Broadwater, located at 1078 Lillian Way, Los Angeles, CA 90038. Running Time: 30 minutes.
