LLOYD J SCHWARTZ PRESENTS A FRESH COMEDY FOR FRINGE!

Buy One Get Two Free

Scalawag Productions presents Lloyd J. Schwartz’s production of BUY ONE, GET TWO FREE, premiering at The Hollywood Fringe Festival for 5 shows only!

Schwartz, renowned for his early work as writer/producer of TV classics BRADY BUNCH and GILLIGAN’S ISLAND has recently turned his talents to creating this delightful ensemble comedy featuring 3 scenes that hit on bad audience etiquette, King Kong, and even the Hollywood Fringe itself. This is Schwartz’s follow up to last year’s Fringe hit AN EVENING WITH JOHN WILKES BOOTH. Schwartz’s change of pace this year points to his motto…”comedy is just tragedy turned upside down.”

The multi-award winning cast includes Jeanine Anderson, Kathie Barnes*, Anne Leyden*, Barbra Mallory*, Lindsay Ravage, Bill Sehres and Stephen Spiegel. The production is produced by Theatre Planners Tours.

LLOYD J. SCHWARTZ (AUTHOR AND DIRECTOR)
Though a prolific writer/producer in TV and movies (BRADY BUNCH, GILLIGAN’S ISLAND, etc. etc.), Lloyd is proudest of his accomplishments in theatre. Beginning with his co-authorship of THE NEARLYWEDS (the first play specifically written for dinner theatre) he has written and/or directed a wide range of plays…everything from the one-man drama AN EVENING WITH JOHN WILKLES BOOTH to the musical THE PHANTOM OF THE OPRY to CLASSIC COUPLES COUNSELING (a play about Shakespearean couples in therapy) to GILLIGAN’S ISLAND: THE MUSICAL and A VERY BRADY MUSICAL. Lloyd and his wife Barbara founded and are artistic directors of THE STORYBOOK THEATRE OF LOS ANGELES which has presented musical plays for children for the last thirty-five years. Lloyd has written and/or directed all eighteen of their shows. In 2017, Lloyd’s musical THE BABIES had a very successful Off Broadway run. His newest play DINNER AT FIVE recently had productions in Denver and in Palm Desert. This past summer, his play AN EVENING WITH JOHN WILKES BOOTH won the producer’s award at the Hollywood Fringe Festival and shortly will begin a national tour as will INDEPENDENCE, a one woman show about Dr. Mary Walker, which Lloyd wrote and directed.
