WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
THE LONGEST RUNNING THEATER SHOW IN LOS ANGELES!!!! (4 years and still going)
THE BEST STAGE ADAPTATION OF AN ACTION MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! (you know the one starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, and Gary Busey in which zen guru Bodhi is the leader of the Ex-Presidents, a gang
of bank-robbing surfers who are pursued by rookie FBI Agent Johnny Utah)
AND YOU COULD BE THE STAR.......(This is a very low budget production- so low in fact that we could not afford to bring back Keanu Reeves. That means we cast the role of
Johnny Utah from the audience!!! At the start of the show anyone can get up to "audition" for the role and the winner is chosen by the audience via
the latest Applaus-O-Meter technology. The "Johnny" chosen for the night performs the role off of cue cards with hilarious results. It's like no other
live theater experience)
"Can only be described as all-encompassing, wet, interactive, loud, extreme, and altogether awesome." - la2day.com
"In a nutshell: About the most dead-on dose of hilarity to ever be on stage." - LA.COM
"So hideously over the top, you can't stop laughing." - LA WEEKLY
"Point Break LIVE! shamelessly rides the gnarly breakers of travesty until viewers wipe out on the shoals of helpless laughter." - LA TIMES
"A raucously untraditional theatrical experience." - Variety
"Point Break LIVE!" is the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' for our generation. HustlerofCulture.com

Point Break LIVE!, the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster features big wave riding, bank robberies,
fight scenes, chase scenes, shoot outs, skydiving, and lots of fake blood and water. It is not a show for the squeamish or faint of heart- in fact audience members are
highly advised to purchase a $1 Survival Kit to ensure they get through the show safe and relatively dry.

The Off-Broadway spoof Point Break LIVE! has stormed into Los Angeles, attacking its audiences with hilarious commentary on the ridiculous 1991 action-thriller Point Break, which starred Keanu Reeves as an ex-football-playing FBI agent and Patrick Swayze as a surfing thief. The theater experience recreates the entire film, complete with surfing episodes, violent robberies, and atrocious dialogue.
The film is already ripe for parody, with bank robbers dressed as ex-presidents who surf and babble existentialisms; not to mention that Reeves implausibly played Johnny Utah, a top law school graduate turned FBI agent and the butch Lori Petty was totally miscast as an ingénue.
