Beat Era Recreated in “WAITING FOR JACK”

A Poetry Theater Event

Produced by Eve Brandstein, Rex Weiner, Michael C. Ford, and John Densmore

Presented by Tom Landau’s STUDIO 1520



* WHAT: Prominent LA Poets reading the works of Beat Era Poets… an homage, an invocation of spirits, and a rousing night of live poetry
* WHEN: October 16, 7:00 PM (one night only)
* WHO: produced by Eve Brandstein, Rex Weiner, Michael C. Ford, and John Densmore
* WHERE: Studio 1520, 1520 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA 90403
* CONTACT: (323) 993 8839
* HOW MUCH: $7 donation



In a loose re-creation of the historic 1955 Six Gallery poetry reading in San Francisco, the Venice West Coffee House readings and other readings of the Beat Era, a group of prominent LA poets read favorite poems by Beat icons. As they read, they take on the personae of the various poets, and a dramatic situation takes shape as two offstage commentators drink, goof, commiserate, and conjure up the poet-readers from the audience, one after another, who bicker, flirt and heckle each other… all the while awaiting the arrival of “Jack” (Kerouac), who is always late, and may not show up. Finally, Jack appears (or does he?) and brings the evening to an emotional climax.



The 90-minute piece is partly scripted, partly improvised, not unlike a jazz performance where musicians depart from the sheet music to do their own thing. Poets are invited to choose the poems they prefer to read. The cast changes from night to night. As the evening progresses, the reality of the present shifts back and forth to the past. The effect will be a shamanistic evocation of the Beat Era, an homage to its lost heroes, as well as an entertaining night of live poetry.



This one-night-only Oct 16 show follows a previous 3-night sold-out engagement in August at the legendary ShortStop in Echo Park.
