OPENS THURSDAY, JUNE 16 AT ARTWORKS THEATRE IN HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood, CA – Another Effing Family Drama, an absurd comedy by playwright Catherine Pelonero, will have a world premiere production at ArtWorks Theatre in Hollywood in June as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. There will be one preview performance on Saturday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. with opening night set for Thursday, June 16 at 10:00 p.m. Dan Berkowitz directs the ensemble cast that includes Monica Martin, Josh Brewster, Eva Minemar, Kenny Johnston, Jack Hunter and Ann Ryerson, known for her work as a Second City cast member and more recently in the recurring role of Nan Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm and as Elsa Kittridge on Mad Men.

Another Effing Family Drama is a wild comic play that gives a swift, absurd kick in the rear to the traditional family drama. The story centers on June, a self-proclaimed “sympathetic main character full of needs” who comes home to have a typical confrontation with her ailing mother, but June’s hopes of kitchen sink drama are dashed, smashed and served up raw when she finds the Effing family invading her space. Another Effing Family Drama is an irreverent comedy for anyone who’s tired of the kitchen sink!

Another Effing Family Drama will play a limited engagement at the Hollywood Fringe Festival through June 26. There will be one preview performance on Saturday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. Opening night, which is also opening night of the Hollywood Fringe Festival itself, is on Thursday, June 16 at 10:00 p.m. Performances continue on Saturday, June 18 at 11:00 p.m.; Saturday, June 25 at 3:00 p.m.; and closing on Sunday, June 26 at 5:00 p.m. Ticket price is $10.
