In ever-hustling New York City, prestige-obsessed influencer Owen Raven rejects his father’s traditional career path. Facing financial ruin after his father’s death, Owen spins comedic deceptions that ultimately backfire and he finds that his internet-famous charms are no longer sufficient in sustaining both his material and inner world.
GOLDEN TONGUES series at LA Escena—a celebration of power, imagination, and diversity through new adaptations of plays from the Golden Age of Spanish Theater by contemporary Los Angeles playwrights. This edition features three remarkable voices in American theater: abe zapata jr., Nicholas Pilapil, and Roger Q. Mason.
