Rehearsal photos from “Death by Poinsettia” in Hollywood
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in News, Photos, Productions, Uncategorized on November 10, 2015
My one-act DEATH BY POINSETTIA is being produced by Studio C Artists in Hollywood as part of a holiday show.
It’s a comedy about a lonely woman who decides to commit suicide by eating a poinsettia — while broadcasting this on a webcam. Only two problems: She invites a bunch of people, knowing none of them will show up. Except one of them does — an equally lonely co-worker she barely knows. Oh, and it turns out poinsettias really aren’t fatal anyway.
Studio C said they were looking for very “modern” Christmas plays; this is mine. The show opens November 13 and continues most Fridays and Saturdays through December 14. Full list of show dates here.
“Death by Poinsettia” to be produced in Hollywood

Got word today that my short Christmas one-act DEATH BY POINSETTIA will be produced in Hollywood by Studio C Artists this November and December.
It’s one of three one-acts in the theatre’s holiday show.
Performance dates are:
Friday, November 13th
Saturday, November 14th
Friday, November 20th
Saturday, November 21st
Friday, December 4th
Saturday, December 5th
Friday, December 11th
Saturday, December 12th
I seem to recall that Studio C’s call for submissions was looking for short holiday scripts that were cool, hip and could be done by 20-somethings. Mine fits!
DEATH BY POINSETTIA
A lonely woman tries to kill herself at Christmas by eating a poinsettia, convinced the plant is poisonous. It’s not, though. A male co-worker shows up and a touching scene ensues. Cast: Two – one male, one female.
