Sweet Karma

Work is now underway for the West Coast Premiere of this intense new play by Henry Ong (directed by GTC Artistic Director Kevin Cochran). A riveting exploration of the tragic life and death of an Oscar-winning actor who survived the brutal Khmer Rouge regime in war-torn Cambodia, only to be fatally gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles. Based on a true story.

Henry Ong’s plays have been produced around the world. His best known works include “Madame Mao’s Memories” (produced in L.A., San Diego at the Old Globe Theater, London, Singapore and Edinburgh) and “Fabric” (produced by Company of Angels in L.A., the Singapore Repertory Theatre, and the Nomad Theatre in Surrey, England). An earlier version of “Sweet Karma” was produced by Queens Theatre in the Park in New York in 2010.

The production is a special presentation of the GTC New Play Initiative. Past NPI productions directed by Kevin Cochran include “Film Chinois” (winner of the LA Ovation Award for Best New Play); “Blake…da Musical!” (winner of the LA Ovation Award for Best New Musical); R.R.R.E.D. (four LA Weekly nominations and a special selection at the New York Musical Theater Festival); “Bobby & Matt” (NY Backstage pick of the week at FringeNYC) and “Eternal Equinox” (Off-Broadway run at the 59E59 Theaters last March).

“Sweet Karma” plays June 22 to July 20 at GTC Burbank. All seats are reserved, so order today to guarantee yourself the best seats! (for special preview and group performances, contact info@gtc.org)Buy Tickets Now
