Synopsis for "Happy Armenians"
Staged by Vista Players, an acclaimed theater ensemble that "set the standard by which others were judged" (Sacramento News & Review), "Happy Armenians" marks the world premiere of the latest play by Elly Award-winning playwright and director Aram Kouyoumdjian.
"Happy Armenians," a dramedy, tells a "parallel world" version of history in which Armenia has become a global empire, upending the world order as we know it. Its king, however, has only 30 more days to live, and Levon, a blood relative, is the unexpected - and unwilling - heir to the throne, who must manage a war against Switzerland, the geopolitics of African and South American colonization of Europe, and his budding love for a brilliant scientist named Siran.
A humorous, imaginative, and poignant rumination on love, war, and the burdens of history, "Happy Armenians" boasts a stellar cast, led by Daniel Hubbard as Levon and featuring the talents of Heather Lynn Smith, Tavis L. Baker, Jade Hykush, and Mark Eric Howell.
