Welcome to Vieux Carre, where, on a soft autumn evening, time stands still, and everything that’s risen—or fallen—is about to converge when her not-quite-ex, Peter, appears uninvited at Jewel’s door. She’s not pleased to see him. With the arrival of her friends Rob and Bird, the quartet's chemistry—a volatile cocktail of longing and loss, vulnerability and desire—jars the precarious balances and counter-balances of love and friendship.

A new play written and directed by Suse Sternkopf

This production is being presented under the auspices of the Actors’ Equity Association Los Angeles Self-Produced Project Code.

This play is performed live and in person—no technology (okay, yes—lights and sound), certainly no AI (all our intelligence is entirely live and human), and no CGI—just four brilliant actors right there in front of you, walking the tightrope of live performance every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. And Sunday afternoons. 

A brief strobe effect is used in Slow Thunder. 

Content Warning: Slow Thunder does not depict, but does contain references to traumatic sexual events, physical violence, and suicidal ideation. There is help available for those whom this would cause emotional distress. Contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline (1-800-656-4673) or The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. ALL are welcome, but children would likely be bored, except for the PG-13 language.

More information is available at the Slow Thunder website.  The Playbill is available here.

bAfA TheatreWorks asks that its audience members join the crew and staff in wearing masks while in the theatre space. Masks are available at the box office—just ask. Thank you for making this a safe experience for actors, crew, staff, and audience alike.
