Press Release Body = PLAYWRITE JOHN SINNER at STUDIO@REDCAT/DISNEY CONCERT
HALL...GENIUS TALENT


Out of the rectangle, writer/producer/director/theatrical visionary artist/throw you
off kilter/charismatic. JOHN SINNER, with his boyish good looks and dazzling white
smile, will perplex and startle you, to say the least. With his complex, internal,
external, disturb your safe thinkings,we dare not utter to ourselves, or our safe
world, the words that Sinner so easily and eloquently expressess. The combination of
his uncanny total honesty about the complexitiesof the inner human mind, and his
deeply cutting understanding of instinctive gutteral human need, only seems more
disturbing and disquieting, since it hits you right in the gut and your deepest
denial defenses, with a \"\"REVELATIONARY\"\" look into your own private mirror, hitting
you smack in the face with who you are and who you are not. Disturbing us, only
because it brings to glaring light, those unspoken private inner voices ( that we
all have) gurgling to the surface as you cringe with discomfort, hearing the words
publicily spoken, knowing \" this is truth.\" JOHN SINNER, founder and producing
artstic director of Theatre Revelation, wrote and directed the critically acclaimed
\" WHAT REMAINS OF A WHORE\", \"STARBABY!\"( ONE PSYCHO HOOKER\'S JOURNEY FROM SLUTBAG TO
SUPERSTAR),\" A COLLAPASE OF THE SOUL AT ITS\' CENTER\" ,\"MOURNING SUNRISE\",\"GENTLY
LEAVE THE NIGHT\", and \"BLOOD IS MY LEGACY!\" Yes, you don\'t know whether to feel
offended with judgemental disdain or giggle with an uncomfortable curiosity. Just
hearing, the needless to say, highly provocative titles of these plays does pique
one\'s interest ( if you\'re willing to admit). Take note, John Sinner is a truly
genius writer whose style draws you in, then twists your fleshy soul, like a colD
north wind, like an icy blade. He seeps under your skin and hits you where your
comfort level is raw with disconfort. And that\'s where the true visionary learning
begins. Sinner\'s works are known for their multiple, disorienting, sound
distractions and masterfully contrived, outlandishly, visual video projections. An
overload of the senses, as life can be. One of the many themes of Sinner\'s works are
exploring the interior of the fantastical fantasy life of those persons who fele
trapped, confined, stuck, suffocated, by a life expected, unfulfilled, \"Not all it\'s
cracked up to be\"( remember all those lovely smiling commercial faces you grew up
with on TVLAND.) The drowning of an individual in life\'s everyday struggles and
beyond, hence the premise of JOHN SINNER\"S NEW WORKS to be revealed at STUDIO @
REDCAT in the WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL. A 15 minute experimental performance piece
you will not be able to purge from your thoughts. Don\'t let the name Disney throw
you. This is no kiddie ride or kiddie show.... JOHN SINNER\'S NEW WORK WILL BE
PREVIEWED IN AN EVENING OF NEW WORKS \"IF WATER WERE PRESENT IT WOULD BE CALLED

presented by the prestigious REDCAT to showcase cutting edge new theatrical ideas.
IF WATER WERE PRESENT IT WOULD BE CALLED DROWNING is an hellish romp through the
exploding mind of housewife Lolly, as she takes us into the hellish trenches of her
daily battle between domesticity and self-preservation. Lolly short-circuits before
our eyes, her psyche disintegrating in the fog of her mind-numbing daily family
routine. Writer-Director John Sinner is drawn to spinning stories about those who
feel disenfranchised and disconnected from what we call a cherished seat at the
table of American culture. Lolly's life is an example of the American Dream gone
haywire. John Sinner's work is one of six pieces chosen from hundreds of applicants.
A panel of curators appointed by REDCAT makes the choice of which short (15 minutes)
works or sections thereof make the grade. In thefall of 2005, his full-length satire
BLOOD IS MY LEGACY! had a critically acclaimed six-week run at the Art/Works
Performance Space in Hollywood. He is the Producing Artistic Director of Theatre
Revelation, a 501(c)(3) theatre company and is making plans to expand IF WATER. into
a full-scale production. IF WATER WERE PRESENT IT WOULD BE CALLED DROWNING will
utilize video projections and disorienting sound cues, both Sinner trademarks. The
piece stars Betsy Moore as Lolly and Mike Hartley as the husband, both veterens of
BLOOD IS MY LEGACY!. Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased by phoning (213)
237-2800 or by visiting www.redcat .org.
