The Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series presents..
GUARDIAN ANGELS
Written & performed by Brian Delate & Directed by Robert Murray Duncan
“A kiss from the Universe.” Academy Award-winning actress, Ellen Burstyn
Guardian Angels reveals how the angels on earth and beyond can guide and direct us. In 1973, a profound event, in the form of a dream, transformed Brian Delate’s life. Was it a close encounter? An Out-Of-Body experience? Or a visit from “The Great Beyond”? You decide.
“The most potent lesson relayed to Brian Delate from the transcendent beings is about the value of life. We cannot give up on it, no matter what.” - John Lavitt for the Hollywood Times
Brian served in the Vietnam War as a decorated non-commissioned officer. The path after coming home was destructive, but real-life guardian angels intervened to guide him in a life-affirming direction. The dream came later, but its impact would alter his thinking and behavior forever.
“I was blown away.” - Tim O’Brien, novelist and veteran

The Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series is an innovative program that presents extremely limited engagements of new and developing works by emerging and renowned local, national and international artists. Solo shows, concerts, spoken word and poetry nights, dance evenings, performance art and full productions, give voice to new material and artists who might otherwise not have a platform for their works. Santa Monica Playhouse programs are supported in part by generous grants from the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, and by Playhouse PALS.
