Author's Note

Peter Fluet has been writing and performing comedy sketches and one acts for many years. From Groundlings Sunday Company to Serial Killers at Sacred Fools. One of his Serial Killers pieces was converted into the Hollywood Fringe Best Comedy award winning piece Lamprey: Weekend of Vengeance. Much of Peter’s current writing is inspired by the work of his improv team Heyday, without whose love, support, talent and skills there would be no TANGERINE SUNSET. Peter is also tremendously indebted to his wife Jamie who has had to listen to a lot of stupid bits over the years, and help him make them less stupid.

--Peter Fluet

Director's Note

"If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things." -Henry Miller

"Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts." -Salman Rushdie

"I've got ten pairs of trainers. That's one for every day of the week." -Samantha Fox --JJ Mayes

Cast

Anahi Bustillos (Lydia Timmons) has been sitting in L.A. traffic for about 17 years. After making the leap of trust she quit - or rather got fired - from her waitressing gigs, and has since developed a knack for selling conglomerates and has appeared in over a dozen commercials. Recent TV credits: NCIS LA, Bosch, Goliath and LAs Finest. She is beamed with joy to be working with Sacred Fools Theater Co. and to receive this opportunity to jump on stage. Anahi would like to thank every person who is taking the time to read her bio because it is more than likely you who has supported me, I mean her, over the years.

Jahmone Duhaney (Mark Timmons) is a Jamaican-American writer and actor. A former Track Star and Olympic hopeful, he holds a BA in Theater from Rutgers University and credits toward a Master of Divinity from Alliance Theological Seminary. Jahmone was most recently seen in Talking Trees at the Secret Rose Theater and I Died Today, a solo memoir written and directed by two-time Emmy Nominee Greg Lavoi. I Died Today was a winner of the the Encore Producers' Award by the Hollywood Fringe Festival. This Spring Jahmone will be graduating with his MFA from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). He is excited to be working with Sacred Fools and a talented group of artists and gives thanks to the Lord for continued blessings.

Kristyn Evelyn (Sienna Lordess) is a proud Company Member of Sacred Fools and is stoked to bring the worst parts of Youtuber culture to life. She’s been seen on the Fools stage in The Art Couple, The Last Twelve Years Of Phineas Gage, Skullduggery, and Serial Killers. Also a member of Cherry Poppins, she will be reprising her role as Kelly in Dr. Nympho vs. the Sex Zombies opening April 26th at Celebration Theatre. Kristyn earned her BFA in Acting from Oklahoma City University. Love to Matt, Penny, Tom, and the family. kristynevelyn.com

Peter Fluet (Jacob Timmons / Playwright) is very excited to be sharing the stage with this incredible cast. He has performed in at Sacred Fools in Live! From the Last Night of Your Life, and hosts and performs in their long running late night show Serial Killers and short running show League of Fools. Peter is a veteran comedy performer who has worked with Westside Comedy, IO West, Second City and Groundlings Sunday company. He sometimes can be found doing silly stuff on Jimmy Kimmel Live but mainly he writes shows and forces the directors to put him said shows. Now relax your eyes and see if you can see the secret 3D image in your program.

ALSO PLAYING AT SACRED FOOLS:

SERIAL KILLERS: Season 14 LATE-NIGHT SATURDAYS @ 11PM

Each week, three continuing stories face off against two new tales. At the end of the show, you vote for the three stories that you would like to see continue on to next Saturday night, where their subsequent episodes will then be pitted against two completely new storylines. Each week's serials could live on for weeks... or be quietly smothered in their sleep – it’s up to you. But whichever pieces you vote for, one thing is for certain - by the end of the evening, you will be a Serial Killer.

Then, in the spring, the 16 longest-running serials compete in a 5-week head-to-head elimination Playoffs round where the last two serials standing get to finish their stories... and win cash prizes, sponsored by the Broadwater Plunge! WINNER: BEST LATE-NIGHT THEATER FACTORY, L.A. Weekly Best of L.A. | "...one of the surest late-night gut-busting laugh bets in town." – L.A. Weekly

Sacred Fools is proud to announce our entries for this year's Hollywood Fringe, June 13-30, 2019. More details to come at SacredFools.org and HollywoodFringe.org!

COME BACK by Tony Foster, directed by Marisa O’Brien. Every day's a goddamn audition. Based on the Serial Killers 2018 Playoffs winner, COME BACK is the hilarious yet touching story of Edie and Petey Stevenson, an overbearing stage mother and her hapless son, attempting to stage a "comeback" performance.

JORDAN MAVERICK: HISTORY TEACHER by Ryan Gowland, directed by JJ Mayes. There's a new teacher in town. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. In a world where teachers are armed with guns, pistol-packing teacher Jordan Maverick is assigned to clean up a school district with the help of his reluctant new partner, Virginia.

ARISTOPHANES’ THE BIRDS, devised and directed by Sabrina Lloyd. A modern look at the classic tale of how two enterprising con artists find a way to exploit an under-leveraged species. From a bird's eye (and bird- brained) view, we are reminded how power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and things don't really change – they just change hands.
