Description
The concept of MicroTheater (Microteatro) was created in Madrid in 2010; this disruptive theater format presents 15-minute micro-plays in immersive, intimate environments.. Now, co-founder Sonia Sebastian is bringing the MicroTheater Tri-Star Quantum Soirée at Rita’s House in Los Angeles. Originally launched in Madrid, the concept has gained international traction, expanding to Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Lima, Santo Domingo, and Miami, and now… Los Angeles.
Tri-Star Quantum Soirée will be introduced by a special host, delving into the spookier aspects of storytelling. The concept revolves around the house's time-space fabric being altered, turning rooms into portals to different eras. Guests can experience three micro-plays of 15 minutes or less in different parts of the space: the Elevator, the Brick Room, and the Kitchen of Rita House.
Elevator to NeverMore is directed by Sonia Sebastian and written by Paula Roman; this play is a mysterious encounter in an elevator plunges Ava (Megan Barker) into a twilight zone of self-discovery, where secrets unravel and reality blurs, in 1996 Los Angeles.
Locked in the Loft is written and directed by Rachel Imbriglio and follows Rita (Sarah Cortez) who has been "locked in the loft" miserably laboring as a seamstress for the last decade, when the unexpected arrival of a naive Midwestern ingenue (Natasha Ivkovic) prepping for her big screen test with Mr. Hitchcock provides a chance to transform her unlucky lot in life.
And Ill Of The Dead is directed by Kristopher Wile and follows Allan (Chris Mollica), at the memorial service for his difficult coworker. While there, he and his wife Molly (Joanna Kay) have an unexpected disagreement about when it’s appropriate to speak ill of the dead.
Rita House is a multi-use coworking, event and filming space for multi-hyphenate people to work and make their creative passions a reality. Originally built in 1926 as a Prop Design Studio for film and television, the Spanish Colonial building then became a violin factory producing thousands of violins and violas for schools throughout the country. In 1967, Rita Riggs, an award winning costume designer, purchased the building and made it her studio for her work with everyone from Alfred Hitchcock to Norman Lear. She passed the building to Tash Rahbar and Scott Strumwasser, who had been operating their architectural practice there for over thirty years. After restoring and transforming the nearly 100 year old building, they created the sanctuary for creative exploration and pursuit it is today in Rita's honor.
