lodestone theatre ensemble presents ten to life


Theater fans, this is it... The critically-hailed Lodestone Theatre Ensemble kicks off its tenth and final season with the world premiere of Ten to Life, four one-act plays written and produced by Nic Cha Kim, Annette Lee, Tim Lounibos and Judy Soo Hoo, and directed by Alberto Isaac. It runs May 2 - June 7 at the GTC Burbank.

This being their final year, they've gathered together some of the writers who have been an important, integral part of the company, and asked them to create a show celebrating a decade of Lodestone -- four twisted one-acts touching on the bizarre and unnatural. Here are some more details:
