One of the highlights of this eventful year was our August night in the Village to see the TomKat Project with a group of Bunker regulars.
We’d been looking forward to seeing Brandon Ogborn’s play about celebrity and Scientology since it opened in Chicago for a very successful run. And after we got to see the hilarious comedy, we heard from a lot of readers who wanted to know — when is the show coming to Los Angeles?
It’s a natural for LA, which is all about both celebrity and L. Ron Hubbard’s cabal. And now, you can help send Brandon and his troupe to the iO West Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, just steps from one of Scientology’s most important landmarks — the Hollywood Guaranty Building!
The HGB houses the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition on the ground floor, and the upstairs offices have been the site of some pretty amazing Scientology history — including Jenna Miscavige Hill’s thought of tossing herself out a window!
Anyway, TomKat Project producer Dein Sofley has secured November 15 (8 pm), November 16, (8 pm), and November 17 (7 pm) for shows at the iO West. But in order to get the cast to the venue, they need some help!
Yesterday, Sofley set up a Kickstarter campaign with the modest goal of $15,000 — and raised ten percent of it the first night.
We loved Ogborn’s sharply-written satire of the odd triangular relationship between Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, and Scientology leader David Miscavige, much of it told with actual quotes from entertainment media. Help ’em bring the show to Hollywood!
