ALAN & KATHERINE IN ACTION
Click below for full-sized images.

Alan and Katherine have always maintained a balance of working as actors, writers, directors and producers in theater, tv and film along with their work as trial consultants teaching and working with lawyers and their witnesses.

They are the only consultants with a regular, on-going blend of these two related and different worlds. It is this balance and this blend that is the basis of their work and their knowledge.

Alan is a Resident Artist at A Noise Within Theatre in Pasadena, where he is a regular in their production of CHRISTMAS CAROL, as well as many of their shows. He is also a company member at Theatricum Botanicum, in Topanga Canyon, in LA where for the past 32 years he has played most of the Shakespeare clowns and appeared in many contemporary plays.

For the Spring of 2019, Alan performed in ARGONAUTIKA at a Noise Within. He played King Peilas and the Uncle. A spectacular, theatrical tour de force directed with a sparkling finesse by Julia Rodriguez-Elliot. Click here for reviews.

As a Resident Artist, Alan is directing a staged reading of APPROPRIATE as a part of the Word Within Reading series in the summer of 2019.

And he will again be playing Ghost of Christmas Present in the annual CHRISTMAS CAROL. Stay tuned for further casting information for the 2019-2020 season.

Alan and Katherine will be re-envisioning their production of GIN GAME at the Theatricum Botanicum in the late summer and early fall of 2019. Matinees at 1pm in the second outdoor space. If you are in the Los Angeles area, this is your chance to see them perform together.

Look for Alan in a film version of MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. And this is truly a dream cast, starring Lily Rabe, Hamish Linklater, Finn Whitrock and Rachel Leigh Cook. Available now on streaming platforms.

Alan shot the film, PINSKY, in Boston playing the family Rebbe. A wonderful, raw, layered film. The film had the premiere at the Moscow Film Festival.

Be sure to look for Alan in the Home Video release of THE INTERVIEW. Set your TiVo to record the reruns of Alan’s abundant oeuvre. To find out Alan’s latest work, please visit his web site AlanBlumenfeld.com.

Katherine is currently working on many exciting things this year so be sure to stay tuned and check in periodically for updates..

Katherine’s play, LOVE THROUGH THE CRACKS OF TIME is a two hander about Claude and Alice Monet’s relationship of 35 years. Alan directed a staged reading of this play twice at The Road Theater in Los Angeles. We are currently planning for a full production. This process is in the beginning stages of raising the funds to produce a full scale Equity production in Los Angeles. If you, or anyone you know, might be interested, please let us know.

Free Association Theatre (Katherine is the Artistic Director) continues with sponsoring festivals in LA featuring women playwrights. LAFPI (the Los Angeles Female Playwright’s Initiative; our local chapter of the Initiative nationwide…with the goal of having 50 percent of plays in the US written by women by 2020) is one such organization. Katherine is also on the Board of Athena Cats, a producing company in Los Angeles dedicated to the works of women playwrights. As a part of that company, Katherine will be directing ASHES TO ASHES playing in 2017-2018 in Los Angeles.

Katherine is hard at work on two new plays, COMMON GROUND and WILLING SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF. Both of these plays are now in varying stages of development towards creating the opportunities for production.

Katherine continues her work with Theatricum Botanicum where she is also a company member. Her mentorship in the Seedlings, new play development series, is both nourishing for her and inspiring for the other writers. Her website KatherineJamesPlays.com is now live online.
