Friends Like These returns to LA!
Nominated - 2009 Artistic Director Achievement Award for BEST ENSEMBLE CAST by the Valley Theatre League
"GO!" - LA Weekly
"(Playwright Gregory Crafts) has thrown in surprising details and created authentic characters who give us a fresh twist on teen angst." - Backstage
"Understated from the top, (Matthew Scott) Montgomery's performance deepens and expands as his character gradually undergoes changes. (Sarah Smick) is likewise layered and sympathetic, and (Sari) Sanchez plays her one note role exceptionally well." - LA Weekly
"Directors Sean Fitzgerald and Vance Roi Reyes get super work out of their actors... the performers are always right on target." - Backstage

SYNOPSIS: An original piece by Gregory Crafts, Friends Like These takes a candid and poignant look at the staggering issue of violence in our high schools. Garrett is an outsider who spends most of his troubled existence in a fantasy world called Haven... that is until he meets Nicole, the popular cheerleader with a curious mind. As quickly as things begin looking up for Garrett, they come crashing down, forcing him to face both his past mistakes and his harsh present reality while he struggles for redemption. This gut-wrenching piece unswervingly explores the emotional trauma brought on by social mores during high school, forcing a confrontation with the causes and tragic consequences that left us staggered as a nation during Columbine and other high school shootings.
