Producer Peter Woods (Quality Collective) and Playwright Jesse Bliss (The Roots
and Wings Project) unite forces for the first ever, full-length play production
to run at The Last Bookstore. The 10,000 sq. ft. former bank-turned-venue hosts
not only literature and records, but live music and cultural events.

The Last Bookstore will be electrified with A RECORD OF LIGHT, a play written
specifically for the venue with live original musical accompaniment by "Pitch
Like Masses". Each show will open with a performance by a powerful solo artist.
Runs from October 29 through November20 2011, Saturdays and Sundays at 8 pm.

A RECORD OF LIGHT is about the complete sacred knowledge of all human experience
being housed, in secret, in a downtown Los Angeles bookstore. Orelia Key, a
woman whose spirit moves faster than her body can handle, is determined to
access it. On this mission, she encounters denizens of the bookstore - analog
people - who in a world of technology, discover the link between body and the
substance of the soul.

About the Producer:

Peter Woods, an L.A. native, is the Events Coordinator for The Last Bookstore
and heads the grassroots organization Quality Collective. QC is a virtual
history book of independent and underground art and music. Hardly a week has
gone by in the past ten years that Los Angeles has gone without a Quality
Collective sponsored event. They are modern day culture hunters providing free
art and music to the masses.

About the Writer/Director:

Jesse Bliss, Founder and Artistic Director of The Roots and Wings Project, is an
actress, playwright, director, poet and MC whose work is performed and produced
around the world. Jesse is an Arts Education veteran, with extensive experience
