POP: The Principles of Perfection

The world premiere of POP: The Principles of Perfection, a new play by L.A. novelist/playwright Anthony Mora, spotlights America’s obsession with pop culture, pop stars, pop psychology and pop transformation. The play centers around Sheri, who spends 4-6 hours a day on the treadmill, barking commands to her maid and disappearing husband from a bejeweled designer phone. Jimmy, her son, who has renamed himself Nuf, wears nothing but red Speedos and the British flag and speaks in unintelligible British slang. Dr. Meyers, the famed psychiatrist who wrote Snap Out of It! is a sex-obsessed, demented narcissist who uses his patients for psychic target practice. When Sheri goes to Dr. Meyers for the ultimate psychotherapy session, their twin obsession with the mysterious Sarah Goode, Oprah’s newest darling, and the founder of The Principles of Perfection, leads to blackmail, intrigue and the supreme Warholian deal with the devil.
