"Richard Tanner's hilarious and touching one-man show chronicling the ins & outs, highs & lows, and stupendous insanity of being an actor "in the trenches." A world-premiere of a work-in-progress, which has already garnered the participation of some of the best designers Los Angeles has to offer, directed by JIM FALL (Trick, The Lizzie McGuire Movie).
Part cautionary tale, part irreverent comment on show business, this multi-media, rollercoaster of a show includes audience interaction, a site-specific "installation," a contest, and other surprises galore. Don't miss this special limited "sneak peak" of a show which promises to have a huge life ahead of it.
Nancy Van Iderstine says:
I've seen the show twice. Clearly I need to see it again! May I make a reservation here to see it on Sunday, 11/16 at 5? Hope so.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE RICHARD TANNER'S SMALL PARTS!
"If you live in the LA area you MUST MUST MUST see Richard Tanner's one man show "Small Parts" before it goes to Broadway and gets a whole lot more expensive! Both hilarious and touching, Richard describes in great detail what it's like to grow up determined to be an actor and therefore suffer through all the indignities that follow in New York and Hollywood. It's sweet and sentimental and very real."

Raving Guests Sound Off
"I will be reflecting on your show for some time. It was so insightful on the human condition on so many levels. Well done! You really moved me, and I'm sure everyone else with a beating heart and open soul who saw it will not soon forget."
"Even though I am not an actor nor in the industry, much of what you presented spoke to me and I could relate to. I have not stopped thinking about the show... Your journey is such an inspiration. I have not been this moved by a live performance in a long time."
"You captured the travails of what an artist (actor or otherwise) faces in this crazy business that we so love and you did it with humor and, above all, with sensitivity and vulnerability without ever feeling sorry for yourself. You touched me with your depth and the many layers you revealed in the show."
"What a great show. We all felt like we were being treated to something truly special, presented with love. Really, like a lesson in what "intimate LA theater" should be, and so seldom is!"

The "Richard Tanner" Iron-Clad Guarantee:
Would The Person In This Mugshot Lie?
If you come see "small PARTS," and are not 100% SATSFIED, I will guarantee...... I will feel guilty about it for days. Months, even. And will probably indulge in some self-destructive behavior to subconsciously punish myself.
HOW CAN YOU LOSE???!!!
