PLAY DETAILS
It’s the 1940s in Los Angeles. Stine, a struggling screenwriter, attempts to pen his film noir masterpiece under the pressure of an oppressive producer and a failing marriage. Meanwhile, his on-page creations start to take on a life of their own, and the hard-boiled world of murder, private detectives, and femme fatales becomes a reality. Stine must walk the tightrope between the real world and the silver screen to see if this story can have a happy ending.
San Francisco Playhouse’s production of City of Angels is made possible by Executive Producer Robert Hulteng, Producers Bill & Marsha Adler, Geoff Jue, and Associate Producers Bruce Colman, Craig & Lorraine Mautner, Larry Russo. With additional Artistic Underwriting by Geoffrey Jue and Larry Russo.
