Fans of seminal playwright and Padua Hills Playwrights Festival founder Murray Mednick are in for a treat: Open Fist Theatre Company presents Mednick’s entire “The Gary Plays” series in one epic production. Originated by Padua Playwrights and developed in workshops over a two-year period by Open Fist, “The Gary Plays” chronicles the odyssey of unemployed actor Gary Bean, Mednick’s everyman/anti-hero who has been hailed by KCRW as “a sort of L.A. Leopold Bloom.” Audiences can choose to follow Gary’s journey over the course of three evenings — or view all six plays on a single Sunday. April 27 through June 4, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:pm, and Sundays at 12 pm, 3 pm  and 7 pm, at the Atwater Village Theatre, 3269 Casitas Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039.
