Some of our members wanted to share with you a monologue of hope.
So we’ve spliced it together in this video to entertain you for a couple minutes during this time. We hope you are all safe and healthy. We can’t wait to see you all again on the other side of this. Until then let us share our (he)art(s) in another format with you.
Be well.
Dear Audience Members,
Due to the public health concerns posed by COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we have made the difficult decision to postpone the upcoming theatre production of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce," which would take place 3/27/20 - 3/29/20. We appreciate your support of the SkyPilot Theatre Company and this production, and apologize for any inconvenience as we explore the best course of action for all. With all of the beautiful work that has gone into this play from the actors, director, and crew, we look forward to reaching out to you with new dates as soon as it feels safe to resume.
Thank you for your understanding.
Stay safe,
The SkyPilot Theatre Company Board
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce by Jeff Gould
3 couples, all going through their own difficult divorces, are stuck together in a room at a courthouse waiting to make an appointment with a mediator. As conversations begin and details of their troubled marriages are revealed, they eventually wind up learning more about themselves and their relationships then they have in all their years of marriage. The results are both hilarious and at times heart breaking.

SkyPilot’s Last Runway is
A Twisted Christmas Carol
by Phil Olson
Wednesday, November 13th at 8pm! $5 at the door.
RSVP Here
SkyPilot Theatre Company’s Runway series will close out its 2019 season with a selection that pays homage to a literary classic. A Twisted Christmas Carol will be performed on Wednesday, Nov. 13th at 8pm at Oh My Ribs! Theater, 6468 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles. The production is open to the public with tickets for $5 at the door.
Runway is a play reading series that helps to develop new plays in the early drafts stage. The readings are directed by prominent Los Angeles theatre directors in partnership with the playwrights. They are rehearsed, staged, on their feet and performed with scripts-in-hand, immediately followed by a focused feedback session with a moderator, the playwright, and the audience.
In A Twisted Christmas Carol, written by Phil Olson and directed by Ian Nemser, it’s Christmas Eve is a small Texas town and cantankerous BBQ joint owner Buford Johnson gets into an argument with his wife Darla and tells her he’s skipping the holiday altogether. After storming out of the restaurant, he gets hit by a twister, rolls his truck and falls into a coma. He awakens in a dream state where he’s visited by Hank Walker, his ex-business partner, who takes the form of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Hank leads Buford – a.k.a. Scrooge – on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens beloved A Christmas Carol … only Texas- style.
Phil Olson has written 16 published plays that have had over 400 productions in six countries around the world. Ten of his plays are published by Samuel French including A Nice Family Gathering, which has been optioned to be made into a feature film, A Nice Family Christmas, and Mom’s Gift which starred Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley) at the Meadowbrook Theatre in Michigan.
WHEN: Wednesday November 13th, at 8 PM
WHERE: Oh My Ribs! Theater 6468 Santa Monica Blvd 90038
