Macha Theatre to Get 'SIDETRACKED'

Murder, intrigue, and the Golden Age of Hollywood. It's all mixed up in SIDETRACKED, a Sharon Michaels dramedy getting its world premiere Friday at the .

The play directed by Ray A. Rochelle opens with five passengers waiting to board the train at L.A.'s Union Station. Each of them has a motive for the murder that has just been discovered.

Think film noir, black and white mystery. Michaels, a ballet dancer turned author, gives a nod to Bogart and Bergman, Fred and Ginger too.

"L.A. is a tough town to live in. Maybe that's why some people call it Tinsel Town," declares actor Chris Wolfe in the SIDETRACKED YouTube promo. "Just about any dream can come true with a bottle of Scotch."

The play is made up of a small cast of seven: Bix Barnaba, Michele Bernath, Carlos Ciurlizza, Sondra Currie, James Gleason, David P. Johnson and Jamison Lingle.

SIDETRACKED debuts Friday, Feb. 3 at Macha Theatre (1107 N. Kings Rd.) in West Hollywood, and runs until Feb. 19. Click here for ticket information, or call 323-960-7724.
