The Zeitgeist Theatre Company, in association with Edmund Gaynes, has opened John Benjamin Martin's Tower of Masks at the Whitmore/Lindley Theatre Center where it will run through Aug. 15. The play, directed by Linda Martin and produced by Sydney Wickersham, is described as a "non-stop erotic fun house filled with twists and turns at every corner."

Martin added that it has an unconventional structure which "does not have the usual protagonist/antagonist setup, allowing the opportunity to create a tapestry of depth and diversity. It deals with human sexuality in its most raw, complex forms."

In the cast are such actors as Meg Bowen, Fuzzy Fusaro, L.T. Fusaro, Peter Hawthorne, Boyd Holister, Robert Koch, Rachel Morison, Wayne Novak, Lisa Peterson and Elias Stimac. Both the playwright and director appear onstage as well.

The Whitmore/Lindley Theatre Center is located at 11006 Magbnolia Blvd. in North Hollywood. For tickets and information call (818) 343-6967.
