Cancelled Checks and Balances

Three lonely people. Three disparate lives, woven together through chance? or design? How do we find our place, our position, our passion, in a city as vast as Los Angeles? Is our soulmate out there? Is our kindred spirit waiting for us around the next corner – at the bank? the bar? the beauty salon? Or will those little boxes remain unchecked for the rest of our lives. Cancelled Checks and Balances is a ShortBurst Theatre Collaboration in which professional artists, tyro performers and members of the community at large have pooled their resources, their time, and their concerns, resulting in a tantalizing, terrifying look at our search for fulfillment and the desperate desire for completion that hovers at the edge of our awareness. Helmed by Playhouse co-artistic director Chris DeCarlo, written by Playhouse Playwright-in-Residence Evelyn Rudie, crafted and performed by Martin Cohen, Linda Kohn, and Berkeley Sanjay, who does double duty as assistant director.
