Tony-nominated director Moritz von Stuelpnagel (Broadway's Hand to God, Present Laughter, Bernhardt/Hamlet; off-Broadway's Teenage Dick) will direct the West Coast premiere of Found: A New Musical Comedy, with a book by Hunter Bell and Lee Overtree and music and original lyrics by Eli Bolin.
Inspired by scores of surprising and eccentric discarded notes and letters that have been "found" in the real world by every-day people and brought to irreverent theatrical life, Found is based on the collection curated by Davy Rothbart in his "Found" books and magazines. The 2014 world premiere production by off-Broadway's Atlantic Theater Company was named a "Critic's Pick" by The New York Times.
The IAMA production of this raucous and insightful musical, presented by special arrangement with Victoria Lang, Benjamin Salka and Eva Price, will open Feb. 20 at downtown's Los Angeles Theatre Center, where performances will continue through March 23. Previews begin Feb. 14. Cast and more details to follow at a later date.
