OVATION RECOMMENDED! "The Super Variety Match Bonus Round!" opened to a sold-out house last Saturday night (complete with standing ovation!), and the reviews are starting to come in:
Ingenious... -- Los Angeles Times
No matter who got your vote in this past week’s elections, Deb Hiett’s comedy gem will have you laughing out loud, wiping away tears, and standing up to cheer. I can’t think of better theatrical medicine to help heal wounds and bring us together this fall than The Super Variety Match Bonus Round! -- Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA
Deb Hiett’s new play, The Super Variety Match Bonus Round!, is a seventy-five minute wonder. Under the keen direction of Cameron Watson, [it's] a delicious, face-paced comedy with a soft, touching heart... -- Paul Myrvold, Paul Myrvold's Theatre Notes

Get your seats now for my new comedy "The Super Variety Match Bonus Round!" at Rogue Machine Theatre!
Directed by Cameron Watson and starring Bonnie Bailey-Reed, Mark Taylor, Paula Christensen, and Ninja Ortiz, this fun romp opens November 12 and runs weekends until December 19. Here's a synopsis:
For Mags Eagleton, the world has become a scary place kept fiercely at bay by the confines of her well-worn recliner. When her loving husband Erns surprises her by renting their late son's bedroom to a very modern kid who is visiting their rural Texas town for a three-day desert music festival, things take a turn for the trippy. This rollicking comedy explores the risks of desperate love, the exemplary form of the 1970s game show, and the psychedelic side effects of fear your doctor may not have warned you about.
Tickets are $35, except for "Pay What You Can" Night on Monday Nov 14, and the Opening Night Gala which includes a champagne/dessert reception (opening gala tickets are $55).
Grab your tickets today and plan for a lively, post-election evening of fun!
The Alabama shirt is unrelated to the show -- we were playing LSU that day, and even though I was at the theater for tech, I have to wear my good luck game-day attire....
The fun has begun. Rehearsals for the Rogue Machine Theatre production of my play "The Super Variety Match Bonus Round!" have kicked into gear, and it's gonna be great!
Rogue's Artistic Director John Perrin Flynn and director Cameron Watson presided over a table reading with our cast and some of the distinguished design team, and we've seen the model for our wonderful (and magically transforming!) set.
Opening night is set for Saturday November 12, and the show is scheduled to run for six weekends (Saturday night, Sunday matinee, and Monday night) until Christmas weekend. I'll be posting a link to get tickets (and more info) as soon as it's ready...
