DOMA Theatre Company presents the multiple Tony Award-winning musical “NINE”

 Enter the glamorous world of “Cinema Italiano” when DOMA Theatre Company presents Nine, the multiple Tony Award-winning musical with book by Arthur Kopit and music and lyrics byMaury Yeston that is based on Federico Fellini’s semi-autobiographical film 8 ½. For NINE, DOMA reunites the creative team behind its recent hit production of Dreamgirls: Marco Gomez directs, musical direction is by Chris Raymond and choreography is by Rae Toledo. The six-week run continues through Aug. 18 at the intimate MET Theatre in Hollywood.

Embark on a musical journey that explores the passion and pitfalls of an Italian film director grappling with his mid-life crisis and creative block. All Guido Contini wants to do is make a film – but the women in his life are demanding attention. Amid a failing marriage, a distraught mistress and the betrayal of his former muse, Contini ponders his unraveling life and career by revisiting the innocence of his childhood at the age of nine. Through a series of flashbacks and dreams, Contini discovers the solution to his problems by combining art and reality in a spectacular collusion of love, regret and fidelity.

“I relate to Guido’s story,” says Gomez. “For a director, the opportunity to manifest one’s ideas onto the screen or stage is endlessly addicting. In NINE, Guido reflects back on his life and career as he struggles to create something new. For me, the challenge is to put my creative stamp on a known show. I’ve cast the show primarily with actors I’ve worked with before at DOMA in order to reflect the memories of my past shows in this production.”

Indeed, audiences will recognize many cast members from past DOMA productions, including David Michael Treviño (Xanadu) as Guido Contini. Playing the women in Guido’s life are Lovlee Carroll (Xanadu) as Guido’s mistress; Michelle Holmes (Jekyll & Hyde,Dreamgirls) as Guido’s mother; Emilia Sotelo (Cabaret) as Guido’s producer; Andrea Arvanigian (Songs for a New World) as Guido’s associate producer and former critic; Brittany Rodin (The Who’s Tommy, Jekyll & Hyde, Xanadu) as Our Lady of the Spa; and Devin Holliman (Jekyll & Hyde) as Maria. Also in the cast are Donovan Baise (The Who’s Tommy) as Young Guido; Ra’Shawn Durell(Dreamgirls) as Francesco/Cardinal; Victor Mercado (Jekyll & Hyde) as Renato; and Alex Favela (Xanadu) as Angelo. New to DOMA are Melissa Anjose as Luisa Contini; Toni Smith as Claudia Nardi; Liza Baron as Sarraghina; Amy Garbett as Mama Maddelena; andTania Possick as Diana.

Scenic design for NINE is by Amanda Lawson; lighting design is by Johnny Ryman; sound design is by David Crawford; costume design is by Irvin Jimenez; and the stage manager is Nicholas Acciani.

The Opening Night Gala & L.A Premiere Screening Of The Comedy  ”PUTZEL”

Written by Rick Moore, Directed by Jason Chaet & Produced by Allegra Cohen 

Starring – Melanie Lynskey, Susie Essman, John Pankow and Jack Carpenter

Stars Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), John Pankow and Jack Carpenter. For some, life is an adventure filled with opportunities to excel and places to explore. For Walter Himmelstein, a young man, endearingly known as Putzel, life literally doesn’t go beyond his family’s fish store and his community on the upper west side of Manhattan. In this heartwarming comedy, Walter’s aspirations of taking over his uncle’s smoked fish emporium are disrupted by the arrival of Sally, who becomes romantically involved with his about-to-retire and very-married uncle. While Walter tries to thwart their romance in order to ensure his taking over the business, he finds his circumscribed life thrown off kilter, and, after years of being undermined by his family and friends, he finally starts to realize his full potential. With Sally’s help, Walter confronts his fears and proves he is more than a Putzel.
