Los Angeles Mission College will present the world premiere of Wildwood, a new play by LAMC student Valentine Curiel and directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts, Robert Cucuzza, on February 24 and 25. This fast-paced physical comedy follows the Wild Wild Wildwood Circus on the eve of it’s 25th anniversary spectacular. Quimby the Ringmaster sells out the circus to a local mobster in a last-ditch attempt to win back his longtime paramour, Wilma, from Ferocious Freddy the Lion Tamer. One simple love letter turns a love triangle into an octagon, and tensions flare, lions roar, and mayhem ensues, all under the faded big top.
