The Official 10,000 Days Website is ready for viewing. From the director, Eric Small on the upcoming 10,000 Days web series: "Our hard work is coming to fruition as 10,000 Days moves toward its debut on the internet. Because of our partnership with MyEZtv, users on the internet will be able to view our content in HD whether they’re at their local coffee shop (using a wireless connection) or in an airport on their iPhone. It’s premium internet entertainment whenever and wherever they want it. Streaming live—no buffering or download time—in HD. No one has the ability to do this yet. We’re going to be the first to market with this technology. And our website is being designed by Hybrid Studios who created the websites for Generation Kill and the 300. Hybrid is integrating amazing visual effects by the extraordinary Café FX team and sound design from Skywalker. Both companies joined the project with open arms—charging us a fraction of their normal fees because of their excitement for the project. We will be sending updates as we approach the release date."

The American Premiere of Never Land
by Phyllis Nagy opened Thursday, Oct. 8, 2009 at the
Rogue Machine Theatre Company in Los Angeles.
Never Land was first produced at London's Royal Court
Theatre, where Phyllis Nagy was writer-in-residence during
Stephen Daldry's tenure as artistic director. Reviews For Never Land: LA Theatre Review - "Wins the award for the most challenging theatre I've seen thus far in Los Angeles... The play centers on the Joubert family, a delightfully manic bunch... Lisa Pelikan seamlessly slips from biting sarcasm to winsome madness in a single breath as Anne Joubert." Variety - "Pelikan -- a gorgeous, damaged Dresden doll... the thesps execute the bittersweet denouement with consummate skill." FineArtsLA.com - "As Anne Joubert, Lisa Pelikan delivers a subtle blend of fragile despair and cruel irony. Her classic features and long red hair enhance Nagy’s portrait of faded beauty clinging to memories of former glory." CurtainUp.com - "Excellent cast!... Lisa Pelikan plays Anne with an other-worldly air." L.A. Weekly - GO! - "Beautiful!... The comedy is lyrical, urbane and erotically charged." ReviewPlays. com - "Incredibly polished ensemble!" Back Stage - "Skillfully acted production... The actors keep the often-cryptic text interesting, suggesting the despair beneath the surface. Pelikan’s haunting portrayal brings to mind the suppressed anguish of morphine-addicted Mary Tyrone in Eugene O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” Coast to Coast Newspaper - "Outstanding cast!... Lisa Pelikan plays Anne with the sprightly, spacy air of a young Billie Burke." L.A. Times - "The actresses cut sharp outre figures and the entire cast of this Rogue Machine offering demonstrates an admirable commitment." Campus Circle - "Heartbreaking... a strong cast, beautiful costumes and a brilliant set design bring it all together." EyeSpyLA.com - "Brilliant... Breathtaking... Thrilling... The cast is excellent... Lisa Pelikan simmers underneath the tumultuous surface of addiction."

Reviews for
Milk Train:
CurtainUp.com - "The third inhabitant of Sissy's villa is her
secretary, Frances Black called Blackie, whom Sissy taunts for her Vassar airs and her formal way of referring to her late husband. To
Sissy's "The dead are dead and the living are living," Blackie retorts, "Not so, I'm not dead but not living!"
As Blackie, Lisa Pelikan, looking like a young Deborah Kerr, gives the play a sense of balance, playing the audience's advocate with a
yearning delicacy.
(Milk Train) is
getting the best
performance it's likely to have at the Fountain Theatre under the direction of Simon Levy, whose intuitive understanding of the
playwright has earned him exceptional privileges from the vigilant Williams estate."
Los Angeles Times -
"Talented cast! The The Fountain's
Theater's new production lunges into this problematic play with energy and enthusiasm. The cast is deliciously game."
L.A. Weekly - "SUPERB! Director Simon Levy and a terrific cast ... do a
magnificent job of bringing this black comedy to life." JULIA
As part of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences series, It's Great to be Nominated, the 30th
anniversary of the release of Julia, and the centennial of Fred Zinnemann's birth; The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

H6R3
Lisa starred as Lady
Anne in H6R3, Austin Pendleton's new play at The Promenade Theatre in New York City. The
late Lynn Redgrave played Margaret and Austin Pendleton played Richard III. This was a benefit staged reading
from The Mirror Repertory Company for a future off-Broadway production.
Sadly, there will no longer be a future production with Ms. Redgrave. (The title is short for
"Henry VI and Richard III." Playwright Pendleton has adapted the Shakespearean
history plays Henry VI, Part I and II and Richard III into a new work.)
