Oxford Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90029 A Letter From the Artistic Director Is everything forgivable? Is anything forgiven? How do we forgive? How do we each nd our way out of the past to a present where our lives are meaningful? Welcome to Oliver Cotton’s Daytona. is play is a symphony of love, betrayal, promise and regret – of exile and the need for redemption. Every moment is and is not what it is. What happens to love and promise born in an age of horror? Does the experience of true evil stay with us forever? Does it color everything else ever felt? What does it cost to free oneself? To remain captive? What happens when you sacrice what may be the one true thing - the love of your life? Or when you stay to love not knowing if you are the one true thing? Life is action – what happens. We spend our lives – each and every day – giving or not giving to one another. Forgiveness may be a gift. Redemption can only be found in the mirror. is year, Rogue Machine is honored to receive the 2016 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Polly Wareld Award for Outstanding Season in an Intimate or Midsized eatre. eatre is art and art can only exist as a communication between artist and community. eatre shows what is – who we are, what we are, what we do, what we think is important. ese are the lies we tell each other and ourselves. is is the way our actions expose those lies.
