Today we went to see "Song of Extinction" at [Inside] at the Ford. I think it is an Equity waiver stage with a resident theatre company. This play was an inhouse production, so I doubt seriously anyone here will get to see it (unless they are in L.A. and get there next weekend.)

It involves a teenage boy who is writing a viola piece in his head. His father is emotionally absent and his mother is dying. The key character is the boy's biology teacher, who was 15 when the Khmer Rouge took over in Cambodia. It's about life, death, genocide, extinction of species and how they are all interrelated.
