For one night only, Rising Phoenix Rep will present Cino Nights at Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Hollywood. This year’s theme: Haunted Hollywood. In the thick of rehearsals, director/producers Addie Talbott and Lovell Holder sat down with me to talk about the founding of Rising Phoenix Rep (Daniel Talbott, artistic director), the origin story of Cino Nights, and some fascinating history surrounding the Off-Off Broadway movement.

Cino Nights: Haunted Hollywood will perform Sunday, November 3 at 5pm and 7pm. For more info on the show, visit RisingPhoenixRep.org and Better-Lemons.com/production/cino-nights.
