Lost Girls

12 Ovation Nominations this season. Winning upwards of 50 awards (including Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, LA Weekly, Ovation, Garland and BEST PRODUCTION two years in a row), Rogue Machine continues the run of the World Premiere staging of John Pollono’s new play, Lost Girls.

When their seventeen-year-old daughter goes missing during a winter blizzard, former high school lovers are forced to confront their tragic history. A hard-hitting working class drama about people struggling to redefine family.

Playwright John Pollono created and starred in the multi-award winning Small Engine Repair (Best Production Garland, LA Weekly, LA Critic's Circle, Ovations), which made its World Premiere at Rogue Machine in 2011 and opens Off-Broadway this month at MCC Theatre. His first play, Lost and Found, was directed by John Perrin Flynn in 2006 and had an award-winning run in the 2010 NYC Fringe Festival. John's play Razorback premiered at Rogue Machine in 2008. He recently wrote and starred in the webseries Sex & Marriage, premiering this fall on Justin Lin's YOMYOMF network. He has a recurring role in Frank Darabont’s Mob City and has been seen on Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, and Major Crimes.

"The struggle of America's working class sometimes gets short shrift in pop culture--either represented as generic American Heroes, or as struggling simpletons who need to be saved. But the reality is much more interesting and it is through the specificity of portraying the working class as they really are, flawed, triumphant and human, that we can achieve something much more truthful and universal," says John Pollono; Playwright
