TUTA Theatre West.  What's this you might ask?  Well, it's what happens when TUTA Artistic Director Zeljko Djukic flies to Los Angeles to direct two fine actors in a stunning production of Stones in His Pockets, by Marie Jones.  When asked about this particular directorial project, Zeljko says, " My relationship with Andrew and Jerry, the actors in the Stones, pre-dates TUTA. We waited 15 years for this opportunity (to work together again)."

Not alone in the vast west, Zeljko also enlisted Natasha Djukic for costumes, and Keith Parham for lighting duties.  As with all TUTA does, this project is a labor of love for all involved.  If you would like to be on the inside track, you can get up to the minute news on the "Stones" facebook page:

Stones in His Pockets chronicles what happens when a big budget Hollywood film descends upon a small village in County Kerry, Ireland, and two down-on-their-luck locals (Jake and Charlie) get the chance of a lifetime, playing extras. Can they go from milking cows to living high on the hog? Hilarious, poignant, dark, and invigorating, this Olivier Award winning play features Andrew Friedman and Jerry Richardson playing 15 roles, pulling back the veil on the complicated relationship between Tinseltown and its subjects. Witty banter blends with self-doubt and frustration as Jake and Charlie try to find a sense of reality in a world where glitz and glamour and easy money are only temporary.
