Fierce Backbone presents the world premiere of WAITLESS, a dramedy written by Cailin Harrison, directed by Reena Dutt. Shelly and Trent, a young couple in love, have made it out of the South to New York City and everything seems to be going well – until Trent gets the offer of a lifetime to move to London for work. Taking a leap of faith, the couple move across the pond only to suddenly find their marital bliss threatened by Trent’s glamorous work travel and constant meetings, leaving Shelly alone much of the time in a place where she barely speaks the language.

About FIERCE BACKBONE

2014 is Fierce Backbone’s 7th year developing plays and people for the stage in Los Angeles. Fierce Backbone’s Play Lab meets every Monday night, exploring new works while engaging in lively discussions to serve each individual play.

Over the past year, they’ve produced a daring show called The Beating and the critically acclaimed A Good Grief. Both developed and honed through the collaboration of Fierce artists. Our artists have also been seen on the big and small screen, become published novelists, and had plays developed at Fierce performed on stages all over the country. Their big coming out party was in the 2012 Fringe with a series of 7 shows — 4 one acts and 3 short collections. The acclaim was loud indeed! Out of that Fringe Festival’s offerings, Gentle Passage won Best New Drama (and just last month won Best Play at the GLAAD Festival in Chicago), Flesh Eating Tiger was nominated for Best In Theater and went on to tour across the country, and Texas Loves Lyla! won Best Solo Show and not only went on tour but also was asked to return to the festival in 2013.

Their creative doors are always open to like-minded artists who want to join them or simply pay a visit every now and then. Throughout the year, Fierce Backbone serves more than 100 actors, playwrights, directors, designers and technical/support staff in the presentation of new work for the stage. The members of Fierce Backbone believe there is room for all artistic voices and all talents when the spirit of collaboration is shared.
