SkyPilot's KONG Begins Premiere Run 10/20

In 1933, an expedition set out for the Indian Ocean, in hopes of creating the greatest film ever made. Instead, they brought back a giant captive gorilla. This was a terrible idea.

KONG: A Goddamn Thirty-Foot Gorilla is a genre-bending deconstruction/parody of the classic King Kong story, with commentary on the 1933 film, audience participation, dinosaur fights, and a very large ape on a very small stage.

Director Jaime Robledo wrote and directed Watson: The Last Great Tale of the Legendary Sherlock Holmes, for which he was nominated for an Ovation Award for Direction, won Best Comedy Direction at the L.A. Weekly Awards and a Saturn Award for Best Stage Production. He has also directed the Ovation Honors winning Stoneface: the Rise and Fall and Rise of Buster Keaton, the Ovation Honors winning world premiere of Adam Szymkowicz’s Hearts Like Fists, the West Coast Premiere of Jennifer Haley’s Neighborhood 3:Requistion of Doom (Ovation Nominated) and the West Coast Premiere of Tallgrass Gothic.

Adam Hahn is a resident playwright at SkyPilot, which has premiered several of his short works, as well as Earthbound, a musical for which Adam collaborated with composer Jonathan Price and lyricist Chana Wise, in June 2012.
