Wicked Lit – The Doll

Once again, the creators of Wicked Lit have brought to life stories that fill you with excitement and suspense and placed them in a spectacularly appropriate venue.
This latest installment of Wicked Lit takes place in Pasadena at Mayfield Senior High, a place I had never known existed although I’ve been through the area quite a few times. This hidden gem was once a family estate and the main house looks like something out of Downton Abbey or Jane Eyre. Kudos on the setting!
I did not get a chance to see the staged reading, so look forward to seeing it when I come back next week, but The Doll did not disappoint!
The story was familiar and I think I had read it in college, but the 5 actors really immersed you in the story. I was truly freaked out on more than one occasion and loved every minute of it! Very well done… I really felt like I could have been viewing a different time. Walking through the gorgeous mansion really set the stage… literally :)
Advice:
1) Be sure to time your arrival as there are three showings of the Doll and only two of the staged play reading of the Shadowy Third.
2) It’s toasty inside the mansion, bring an elegant fan :)
3) Be prepared to walk up and down two flights of stairs– twice. I think I saw an elevator though.
4) Snacks are $ 2 each. Bring cash for drinks or candy bars and support Wicked Lit!
5) Seating is limited in some areas, so go first to ensure you aren’t standing.
See you there! Don’t miss this one– limited run through July.
