SOPHIA

SOPHIA
Beauty Meets the Invisible Man)

West Coast Premiere at Write Act Repertory

(Los Angeles) -- A comedic musical playing to the changing times of the 60's, featuring strong independent women as a predecessor to Mary Tyler (Moore) Richards and Rhoda Barrett (Valerie Harper). Our hero Sophia, a beautiful, articulate, sophisticated, bright, educated woman, whose blind spot is relationships. Her pattern is sequential frequent encounters with boyfriends, who depart after short term contact. Enlisting the help of her best friend Heather, Sophia tries therapy, with renowned expert Jake Kelly. Diagnosed with Beautiful Woman Syndrome, part of her rehabilitation is to recognize "every-hit-man" which has always led to a quick tryst. Sophia must learn about the forgotten majority of male society and try to focus on the "invisible man", those who would never approach her, if she is to find true love. She develops the ability to handle her encounters with a non-descript forgettable man named George, who truly is the true man of her dreams.

Starring: Melissa Bergman, Breanna Carter, Derek Houck, John H. King, Gavin Peretti, Jacqueline Rosenthal, Dwayne Stevenson, Kathy Walters, and David Michael Trevino.

Written by Michael Antin, Directed by Derrel Maury, Choreography by Leslie Stevens, Produced by John Lant, with Musical Direction by Rocco Vitacco, and Lighting Design by Sergio Escobar.
