---- DAVID SELBY & SUSAN SULLIVAN STAR IN 2 SEPARATE CLASSIC PLAYS
 
David (Quentin Collins) and Susan (Ghost) both often participate in staged readings for L.A. Theatre Works. These shows feature many familiar actors seated onstage, holding scripts bound in notebooks. When their character has dialogue, the actor steps to a microphone and uses vocal inflections, facial expressions, and body language to interpret the lines and tone. Throughout the performance, live sound effects and music cues are heard. All this is recorded, along with the live audience reactions. The recorded production later is aired on Public Radio stations, streamed online, and available on CD. LATW's publicity: "All of our plays are performed without sets or costumes for later broadcast on public radio and internet streaming."
 
---- David stars in an upcoming LATW's  performance:of the iconic Bram Stoker's iconic novel DRACULA. The shows, presented in the radio theatre format described above, are May 18-20 at 8:00; May 21 at 2:30, and May 22 at 4:00.
 
The venue is the intimate Maglin Auditorium of the Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. in Brentwood (Los Angeles). Box office: 310-827-0889. Order tickets online: https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/749055
 
Publicity: "Featuring David Selby. Before Twilight and True Blood, only one vampire commanded 'the children of the night.' Join us if you dare for a terrifying quest to find Dracula's lair."
 
---- Susan portrays "Lady Sneerwell" in LATW's performance of the satirical THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL, a " raucous send-up of hypocritical manners." Shows are Jan. 12-14 (8:00) and Jan. 15 at 2:30 and Jan. 16 at 4:00.
