Six Characters in Search of an Author is an absurdist, meta-theatrical play about the relationship between authors, their characters, and theatre practitioners. This production of Six Characters is set at A Noise Within as part of a 25th anniversary retrospective, the company is rehearsing the cemetery scene from Our Town when six very strange people barge into the proceedings. They begin to explain their odd circumstances: they are unfinished characters looking for a playwright to finish their story. After getting over his anger for the interrupted rehearsal, the director becomes fascinated with their story – and its theatrical possibilities.
Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliot and Geoff Elliott. Original music and sound design by Robert Oriol. Opened March, 2016 at A Noise Within in Pasadena, and closed May of same year. Set design by Frederica Nascimento. Lights by Tom Ontiveros.
