House Lights & Prolonged Sunlight

In a one-act play (House Lights) and six short plays (under one title, Prolonged Sunlight), playwright Yokomori explores the human condition via dramatic surrealism and theater of the absurd. Intense aberrant behavior is the norm as characters confront one another in strange situations. In one of the short plays, Joey tells Crystal that he possesses a magic rock into which he has placed all of his love, and no one can take it away from him. Crystal finds her own rock, and the battle begins. In another, an author attempts to convince a children's book publisher to buy his x-rated manuscript. In another, a bizarre cocaine deal goes bad. In House Lights, Saul Peacock, an actor whose credits are merely those of a perennial extra ("It's the hardest role to play, really. You never draw attention to yourself."), is invited to dinner at the dysfunctional Roget household and gives them all a lesson in the difference between illusion and reality.

Harry Wong will direct the production, with set design by Amy Healey; Assistant Director/Stage manager is Troy Allen Matsumura; Lighting Desgin is by Daniel Sakimura; Costumes by Naomi Davis; and Sound by Stu Hirayama.

The Cast is made up of Cheyne Gallarde, Katherine Aumer, Ryan Sutherlan, Ginger Gohier, Jason Kanda, Tyler Tanabe, Salli Morita, Danielle Vivarttas-Ahrnsbrak, Jason Ellinwood, Troy Apostol, and Mish Umipeg.
