COLD/TENDER

SEASON 2004

By Cody Henderson
Directed by Jessica Kubzanksy

Funny, dangerous, heartbreaking, this world premiere by Los Angeles playwright Cody Henderson follows the journey of a single dollar bill as it traverses its way from 1962 to 2004, where alarming and absurd Cold War crises nurture tender human connections.

“A piercing, affecting new work about Americans, their privilege, and their disengagement from the world.” – Theater2k.com

“Henderson pieced together this story with a puzzle-master’s skill. Unique and constantly engaging… It’s clear that Henderson possesses considerable talent.” – O.C. Weekly

“Though the Cold War plays in each tale, the real interest comes from watching Henderson’s authentically detailed characters reevaluating their own American dreams against the dream represented by George Washington’s appraising mug.” – L.A. Weekly
