Odyssey TheatresThreshold of Invention announces
new dates for There Are Fairies at the Bottom of Our Garden,’
a workinprogress written and performed by John Fleck

LOS ANGELES (January 20, 2025) — Odyssey Theatre Ensemble’s Thresholds of Invention series of first looks at works-in-process by prominent L.A. visionaries presents There Are Fairies at the Bottom of Our Garden, a new work by writer/performer John Fleck. Two performances are set for Saturday, Feb. 15 and Saturday, March 1, each at 8 p.m.

Once upon a time there was a boy born with a limp wrist who channeled the fairie spirt of the iconic 1930s theatrical song stylist Beatrice Lillie to battle the forces of darkness threatening to extinguish “their” fabulousness.

John Fleck is a performance artist and actor whose work has spanned performance spaces, museums, theater, television and film. In 1990 Fleck and three other performance artists were branded the “NEA-4” when their work was labeled obscene by conservative lawmakers who put pressure on the National Endowment for the Arts to rescind their funding. They took their case to the Supreme Court—and won. Fleck’s work has been presented by the ICA London, ICA Boston, Andy Warhol Museum, New Museum, Public Theater, Guggenheim Museum, PS-122, Second Stage, La Mama, Dixon Place, Joe’s Pub, Broad Stage, REDCAT, Getty Museum, Cal Plaza, MOCA and more.

The Thresholds of Invention series is curated by actor, director, musician and performance artist Tony Abatemarco and produced jointly by Abatemarco and Beth Hogan.

Tickets to the Thresholds of Invention series are $25 (plus a $3 credit card fee if applicable).

The Odyssey Theatre is located at 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025. Parking is free in the in-site lot.

For more information, call (310) 477-2055 ext. 2 or go to www.OdysseyTheatre.com.
