Auggie July is 60 and has never quite figured out success, sex, or how he ended up here.
As financial pressures mount, two wildly different men upend his world — a sexually free
younger neighbor and a ridiculously successful old rival. In a condo complex where pinecones
fall like fate, Auggie confronts desire, regret, and the possibility that maybe it’s not too late to
go after what he wants. Bold, funny, and disarmingly honest, The Point of Pinecones is a late-
in-life coming-of-age story about desire, shame, and the courage to keep aspiring. Adult
content. Running time is 120 minutes with one intermission.

(Wondery’s Imagined Life and Even the Rich), television (Fashion Police, The Big Gay Sketch
Show), movies (Testosterone, If We Took a Holiday), and novels (Misadventures in the
213, Screening Party). He can be seen dancing in commercials for Walmart and the City of Las
Vegas. He is also the co-creator of the party games Search Party and You Don’t Know My
Life! which is based on the offbeat questions he developed when profiling celebrities for
magazines like Movieline, Detour, and The Advocate. He is also the creator and host of The
MisMatch Game, which was first presented in 2004 at the Renberg Theatre and has since raised
over $250,000 for the Los Angeles LGBT Center. The Point of Pinecones is his first play.

The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event
celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each
June during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood neighborhood: fully
equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches, restaurants and other unexpected places host
hundreds of productions by local, national, and international arts companies and independent
performers.
