THE 2nd ANNUAL SCI-FEST L.A. RETURNS MAY 2015 TO HOLLYWOOD’S ACME THEATRE

(LOS ANGELES, CA March 2 2015) – SCI-FEST L.A., the Los Angeles Science Fiction One-Act Play Festival, the first of its kind worldwide, returns for the second year to Hollywood’s Acme Theatre (135 N. LaBrea Ave) from May 5 - 31.

Co-founded by veteran theatre producers, Michael Blaha and Lee Costello, and actor, David Dean Bottrell (“Boston Legal”), SCI-FEST L.A.: The Los Angeles Science Fiction One-Act Play Festival debuted in May of 2014 to sold-out houses and critical acclaim with NPR describing is as “a chilling freakout,” and The Huffington Post saying “the plays unfold like exquisite, lost ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes.”

Bottrell notes, “We’re very excited for Sci Fest L.A. 2015. The festival was so successful last year with sold out houses and sci fi stars from Lost, X-Files, Star Trek, Supernatural and more that we’re building on that this year. The roots of science fiction run pretty deep in L.A., which transformed the genre into a worldwide industry and a global product. Sci fi is part of L.A.’s cultural heritage.”
