Elemeno Pea!
01.10.12
“Elemeno Pea”, a smart comedy about utter chaos, and the rich behaving at their worse in Martha’s Vineyard is making its West Coast premiere at the South Coast Repertory on Jan. 27 through Feb. 26 on the Segerstrom Stage.
The play centers around two polar opposite sisters, down-to-earth Devon and status-seeking Simone on a weekend trip gone wrong to a beachfront mansion. There’s plenty of squabbling, jealousy, marital discord, and of course comic relief.
“Elemeno Pea” marks the SoCal directorial debut of SCR artistic director Marc Masterson, who spearheaded the play’s world premiere when he was at the Actors Theatre of Louisville.
Showing 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday; and 8 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, with matinees starting at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets cost $20 to $68.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.scr.org, by phone at 714.708.5555 or by visiting the box office at 655 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.
