The plays are Marked for Love and Of Dicks and Dames. The evenings are hosted by "burlesque goddess" Honey Ima Home, whose burlesque routines will act as curtain-raisers.
"If one put 'The Big Sleep' and 'Airplane' into a blender and hit 'frappe,' Nights of Noir! is what you might get," writer Wilson stated. "My plays are a light-hearted romp following a private detective named Bolt into the mysterious, murky and extremely silly underbelly of the 1940s Los Angeles crime scene. The evening is the telling of two of Bolt's legendary cases."
The cast of Marked for Love includes Scott Gerard as Bolt; Mike Park as Hank Sergeant; Elizabeth V. Newman as Vivian; Rachel Kanouse as Magritte; Megan Evanich as Dottie; Drew Droege as Thin Guy; and John Szura as Johnny Mute.
