154 and PARADISE

BAZOIN

“154 and Paradise” slowly peels away the known facts and hidden stories of nine people, as a mysterious investigator seeks the truth behind a fatal auto accident, only to reveal . . . (sorry, no spoilers).

Peter Frisch directed a very creative staging by the Producing Group Unit of the Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara, California, to sold-out shows in 2015. 

Frisch returned to Center Stage Theater in 2023 to direct a successful revival.

“BAZOIN” is a memoir/comedy/drama that takes place in real time as a middle-aged man visits his ailing mother in her kitchen where sometimes the past is flung about like crashing plates and sometimes appears as a soothing, waking dream – all this as his second marriage crashes at home. The play was produced as a reading in Napa County, California, at the stalwart White Barn Theater for a sold-out weekend in 2013.
