WELCOME TO DEREK DelGAUDIO’S WORLD PREMIERE show In & Of Itself. Normally, we create theater that inevitably has a
sense of illusion to it, but every so often, we like to shake things up and
program illusion infused with theater.
Derek, whom we welcome back after his stunning debut in Nothing to
Hide in 2012 at the Geffen, has helped us broaden the very nature of
theater we program in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater. Quite apart
from the astonishing illusion he creates for an audience, Derek maintains
a rapport and a narrative that incorporates not only magic but theater in
the truest sense of the word. Derek has taken this art form and crafted
a new type of multi-faceted performance art with illusion as the nexus
around which the show revolves.
To help mold Derek’s story is none other than Frank Oz. A masterful
director, storyteller and puppeteer, Frank is responsible for creating many
of the most beloved characters of our time, including Miss Piggy, Cookie
Monster and Yoda. His work in bringing the inanimate to roaring life
remains a glittering example of the marriage he creates between magic
and storytelling. Frank has shaped In & Of Itself with his signature sense
of wonder and, along with Derek, has guided an incredible team of artists
through a design process that not only serves the complicated needs of
an illusionist but also helps bring the story to life. Their collaboration has
led them to create an evening sure to blow your mind.
We are pleased once again to have the opportunity to share a brand new
show with you in our ongoing commitment to building a home for artists
to experiment and push boundaries. We believe that this artistic freedom
allows for the best of what is possible to emerge in the process.
Enjoy the show!

WELCOME TO IN & OF ITSELF IN THE AUDREY SKIRBALL Kenis Theater! I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for being
a part of the Geffen Playhouse family this year — our 20th anniversary
season — whether you’re a long-time subscriber, donor or new to the
theater. As we reflect on the past 20 years and look toward a bright and
expanding future, it is with much enthusiasm and pride that I share with
you an important update on the future of the organization. This year, we
are launching the public phase of our Legacy Fund campaign, which will
ensure the stability and longevity of this theater. The Legacy Fund has
been made possible by extraordinary leadership gifts pledged during
the initial phase of the campaign this past year, along with a significant
challenge grant generously provided by David Geffen. Still, this is just
the beginning. To learn more about the Legacy Fund, please contact
Regina Miller, our Chief Development Officer, at 310.208.6500 ext. 112 or
Our dreams for the theater continue to grow, as does the critical need in
our community for the type of bold artistic work, innovative education
programming and long-term cultural impact we are committed to
providing. We look forward to expanding our artistic initiatives, building
new partnerships, deepening our community engagement and continuing
to develop new audiences for generations to come.
With sincere gratitude to all of you who have been, and continue to be,
an integral part of the Geffen Playhouse.
