Bill Oberst Jr. to Bring Ray Bradbury's Pillar of Fire to Hollywood

Ray Bradbury's Pillar of Fire is coming to Hollywood. Actor Bill Oberst Jr. (Coyote) will be part of five performances, on the material. The performances will begin June 5th and run into June 25th. And, Pillar of Fire is a story, based on a dystopic future world, in which the walking dead return. A preview of Oberst Jr.'s five run show is hosted here.

Bradbury's original story was set in 2349. In the future, superstition and religiosity are banned. The dead are cremated by the thousands. And, a walking corpse is determined to bring back fear, to the disbelieving masses.

Oberst Jr. has something to say about his upcoming show. He mentions how actor Vincent Price would tour the world, with interpretations of Edgar Allen Poe's works: "Vincent Price used to tour the world with living renditions of Poe's works that delighted fans. I'd like to do the same with Ray Bradbury." Oberst Jr. is no stranger to theatre, with performances dating back to the nineties (A Tribute To Lewis Grizzard, JFK). His latest showing is not to be missed.

Performances will take place at the Theatre of Note - 1517 N. Cahuenga BVD

-Friday June 5th at 8:00pm
-Saturday June 6th at 9:00pm

And at the Hudson Guild Theatre - 6539 SM BVD
