Here is the next live theatrical event for Ray Bradbury's Pandemonium Theatre Company:
Premiering on July 11th and slated to run through August 29th will be three one-act plays under the banner of Ray Bradbury’s Yestermorrow. Those new productions will be The Meadow, A Device Out of Time and The Cistern.

After that run a true classic will be staged with an opening night of September 19th and running until November 22nd, with a possible extension until the end of the year. Oh yes, this production will be of The Martian Chronicles!!!

More details as the date comes closer.

You lucky west-coasters!

www.plays411.com/raybradbury Tickets are generally available two weeks before the run begins. As a general rule, Ray attends on Saturday nights. When he does attend, there is a reception following the play where you can meet and talk with him. YOu may bring an item or two for him to sign. Books are usually available for purchase, too.

Now it is coming close to October, I noticed the Plays411 website has The wonderful Ice Cream Suit listed in Late Sept/Oct. Do you know if the Martian Chronicles production is still going to occur? It seems strange the are re-doing a play they had recently....

Thanks in advance

Partly due to the death of the set-designer, John Blankenchip, and partly due to a conflict with the hall it was decided to delay Martian until the Spring. Ice Cream Suit was so well received and since the original cast was willing to reprise their roles made for a quick production turn-around. So, this is the skinny of what and where.

Thanks for the reply John.

Its a shame, as I would be on vaction from NZ for October, and was looking forward to the Martian Chronicles play as part of it.

Hmmm, I will have to think about whether I want to make the journey from Burbank to South Pasadena to see the Ice Cream Suit.....

So you are saying that despite the Bradbury production being staged you'd not drive ten miles on a Saturday night to spend the evening in the same room with Ray?

Hmmmm. JKT you have almost convinced me. I looked it up on google, its 20 miles (and I wont have a car )... but I will make the effort....

I will have to pack a book or two in my luggage incase he can sign them as well.

When Ray is in attendance there are books at the theatre that can be purchased so if you don't bring books and then decide to attend you'll not be left out in the cold. Yes, Ray does sign when he attends the theatre.
