Ziggurat Theatre Ensemble creates a vibrant, topsy-turvy world that's as astonishing as it is hilarious with the world premiere of "Fafalo!", an original, myth-based comic fantasy. Led by director and playwright Stephen Legawiec, "Fafalo!" opens on Friday, March 14 with performances continuing through April 13 at the Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica.
Using colorful masks and huge, spectacular puppets to conjure up the excitement and comedy of the circus, "Fafalo!" is a fairy tale for adults about a most unlikely candidate who is crowned king in the mythical kingdom of Galliandra.
Fully masked throughout the play, six ensemble members - John Achorn, Julia Emelin, Anna Heinl, Li-Ann Lim, Jon Monastero and David Valdez - perform 18 roles in "Fafalo!" Custom-made masks have been commissioned from Bali, from master mask-maker Nyoman Setiawan.
"Fafalo!" is written and directed by Stephen Legawiec; Masks are by Nyoman Setiawan; Set and Puppets are by Stephen Legawiec; Lighting Design is by Brandon Baruch; Costume Design is by Suzanne Scott; Puppet Consultant is Bob Beuth; Mask and Movement Coach is Dana Wieluns; and the Stage Manager is Krista Schoenbaum.
Performances of "Fafalo!" take place Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 3 pm, March 14 through April 13. Tickets are $20.00; Students and Seniors are $15.00; the performance on Sunday, March 16 at 3 pm is Pay-What-You-Can.
