“A POIGNANT, FUNNY, BITTERSWEET, BAWDY story. Demolition covers all the bases and then some, all the while adding some well-placed humor and keen insights into the mix. “ – LA Splash
“Performances, as I have to come to expect at Pacific Resident Theatre, are truly PEERLESS, SUPERB.” – Broadway World
INTERVIEW
Playwright MATT LETSCHER (HER, 13 Hours, The Mask of Zorro) discusses his highly anticipated new play on KTLA.
In this hilarious and poignant new play, Doug, a blue collar worker at a family owned construction company is charged with training Paul, the boss’s gentle, secretive, college bound son during the course of a summer demolition project. Doug feels needed to help the boy get ready for life away from home. Their exchanges begin hilariously with Doug’s baudy advice comically at odds with Paul’s shy nature. As things proceed, we come to realize that Paul is struggling with something far beyond Doug’s purview and experience. A play about identity, truth, parenthood, and courage.
