New York City, 1976. The American Musical And Dramatic Academy Los Angeles' first full Length Play. As part of their newly added BFA performance Series. Under the direction of Mr. Bill Mesnik the group of talented actors and actresses put together a piece of monstrous proportions.BALM IN GILEAD , by Lanford Wilson centers on a cafe frequented by heroin addicts, prostitutes (both male and female) and thieves. It features many unconventional theatrical devices, such as overlapping dialogue, simultaneous scenes and largely unsympathetic lead characters. The plot draws a parallel between the amoral, often criminal activity that the café's denizens engage in to provide temporary relief from their boredom and suffering, and the two main characters' becoming a couple in order to escape from their lives.
This looks and sounds incredible. I hope i am able to perform in shows like this at AMDA.
