FRINGE VETERANS REUNITE FOR AMERICAN CONSPIRACY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

“AMERICAN CONSPIRACY”
WRITTEN BY BENJAMIN SCHWARTZ
DIRECTED BY MATT RITCHEY
WORLD PREMIERING AT THE HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL 2018
AT THE LOUNGE THEATRE IN HOLLYWOOD
PREVIEW NIGHT: May 31, 10:00 pm

HOLLYWOOD —AMERICAN CONSPIRACY, a powerful new drama written by Benjamin Schwartz, will premiere at The Lounge Theatre for the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2018. The hour-long political thriller reunites former collaborators Ritchey and Schwartz, who won multiple awards in the 2016 Hollywood Fringe, including ‘Best Cabaret/Variety’ and a coveted ‘Top of the Fringe’ nomination for their show, Angel’s Flight.

Set in the early 1980s, American Conspiracy is the tale of two families and one violent assassination attempt on a United States president. A daughter trying to save her family’s run down diner, and a son looking for alternative ways to get his family’s oil business out of debt both parallel and juxtapose one another to explore the ultimate conspiracy: the American Dream. This is the culminating MFA project from Schwartz, who has been researching and developing the story, and script, for almost three years.
Featuring Spencer Cantrell, Katelyn Schiller, Amy Smallman-Winston, Hank Doughan, David Lee Garver, and Edward Hendershott. Directed by Matt Ritchey.
