Loft Ensemble in North Hollywood will premiere Jillian Blevins' world premiere play, The Polycule: A Comedy of Manners, starting September 13, exploring polyamorous relationships through the eyes of an outsider. Mish Grigor's Class Act offers a unique theater experience, dividing the audience into 'first-class' and 'economy' seating while examining social mobility in contemporary Australia. Susan Marie Rhea reflects on the blurred lines between art and reality through her experiences in theater, particularly recalling a fright caused by a mannequin during a production. Meanwhile, the play Make Way for Rose critiques historical and contemporary issues faced by women, particularly within Asian communities in the West, using innovative staging and audience interaction. These diverse theatrical productions highlight the intersection of humor, social commentary, and innovative storytelling in today's theatrical landscape.
