2007 Princess Grace Statue Award-winner Michael John Garcés Directs Second Play in Justice Cycle

Cornerstone Theater Company proudly presents Someday, a world-premiere play written by Julie Marie Myatt and directed by Artistic Director Michael John Garcés. Someday is the second major production in the company’s Justice Cycle, a three-year series of plays exploring themes of justice, including illegal immigration, reproductive rights, criminal justice and the environment.  Someday will run May 29 – June 22, 2008 at the Bootleg Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

Who can afford to have children, and who can’t? Who can afford to not have children, and who can’t? Does “choice” ultimately depend upon how much money is in the bank? Created in collaboration with disabled women, sperm donors, egg donors, teen mothers, surrogates, nontraditional families, and many others, Someday reaches beyond polarized abortion debates to explore reproductive issues and rights through the lens of economic privilege. Courageous, hilarious, and poignant journeys result as people in Los Angeles attempt to control the creation of human life within the complicated bounds of biological, technological, and financial resources.

Community partners for Someday include the Feminist Majority Foundation, National Organization for Women -- Hollywood Chapter, South Asian Network, Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, and Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project. As with all of Cornerstone’s community-collaborative productions, the play will be performed by a cast of both professional actors and community participants. Collaborating artists include Scenic Designer Lynn Jeffries and Costume Designer Megan Healy.

Someday will run May 29-June 22, 2008. Performances will take place on Thursdays & Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm, at the Bootleg Theater, 2220 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles 90057. Free street parking is available. All tickets are $20, with the exception of select Pay-What-You-Can performances.
