January in Los Angeles begins with some fun!
As the year kicks off, ATOD wanted to tell you about some incredible things happening this month…
Gedina performs at Pour Vous
Gedina – Soundcloud
One of my favorite new finds: Gedina! A truly beautiful vocalist accompanied by a band that is beyond talented! She is playing at Pour Vous which is by far one of the LA clubs to check out. with that air of old Hollywood and the entertainment of a speakeasy with sensuality, you don’t want to miss this performance!
The theme on the 8th: Leather.
Put it on.
It will be the last show for awhile… and you won’t want to miss it.
You’ll see why.

LoveSick is a darkly comic exploration of love, its twisted conceptions and its infinite wonders. Through verse, prose, movement, and song, the audience is taken on the wonderland-like journey of two conflicted lovers as they are brought together by a shared dream. Of an earlier production at the 2012 NYC International Fringe Festival, NYTheatre.com said, “It is a beautiful, breathtaking production … that reminds you why theatre is done at all.” The Artswire called it, “… fascinating, beautiful, and epic …,” and Theatre Is Easy said, “Mostly humorous and dreamy, this play also touches on the darker realities of love and sexuality.”
The cast of LoveSick will feature (in alphabetical order) Deborah Baker Jr., Noah Benjamin, Jessica Botello, Adam Chambers, Sean Durrie, Marissa Galloway, Jason Ryan Lovett, John Sperry Sisk, Vanessa Vaughn, and Larissa Wise. Production design is by Marissa Galloway, Jason Ryan Lovett, and Larissa Wise, and the stage manager is Ashley Snyder.
Opening night is set for Saturday, January 19 at 8:00. Admission is $20 for all performances. The regular running schedule is Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm, through February 24 only. Tickets are on sale now, and may be purchased online at www.LOFTensemble.com, or by calling (213) 680-0392.
